i don't know what's going on lately, but people have been more inquisitive about my life than i remember them being. if they're not asking me personal questions about myself, they're inquiring about what's going on in my life.

the most recent incident was tonight when a friend asked me how i knew my american friends. though it does seem pretty odd that i would know these people, there's a completely sane and highly rational, although incredibly embarrassing explanation.

three years ago, i lived and breathed twilight. disgusting, i know. i'm over it, if anyone is concerned. my friend from home, my tiny canadian, was even more into it than i was and talked me into going to this twilight convention in july in dallas, texas.
[insert harsh judging here]
my fellow tiny canadian had been talking to these people online for a while by that point, and told me to get to know these people better so we wouldn't feel so weird going to such a foreign place. then the plans started happening. instead of just chatting online, we should meet up. the usual 'oh my gosh, new friends' sort of thing ensued, and february 09 i went to austin, texas with these practical strangers.
and i met some of the most interesting, awesome people.
i walked away from that trip with two of the best friends; d and e. i'd known e a bit better than d, but we came as a package. b.e.d was born, and it's still around to this day. just not as close as it used to be.

i had an instantaneous connection with these people and although our lives are different and we're hundreds of miles away, we're still friends. we still know each other. we message one another, sharing bits of our lives, but it's never constant.

i've visited d in NY, and will be going again in august. hopefully i'll see e before she gets married and has a thousand kids. maybe next year will be e's year. i could use a southern vacay.

but in the grand scheme of things, it's so unique that i know these people all over the continental usa. not everyone can say that they met through a mutual love of a book franchise and although our love for said book has seriously waned to the point where i could care less about it, we've still stayed friends.

it makes me smile to myself when i have to tell people how i know these people. i love watching their reactions when i tell them it was because of twilight. initially. now it's because we're actually friends. some people live their whole lives being friends with the people in their own city, and i just don't think i'll ever do that again.

i mean, hello, built in accomodations.

college student of historical events, future educator. canadienne. i like to read, but i don't do it enough. i run. i like zombies. i'm obsessed with all things batman, except not batfleck. i'm a terrible video game player, but i'm getting better through attrition. i can play piano pretty good, though. the sound of city streets soothes me, but i love the silence of the forest. curious stargazer.
