I think there's a weird alignment of the stars the last couple-few weeks. To start, in my office, there is an interim person who just started and who looks a lot like my last ex-boyfriend before my husband. At least, it's not him. I think that would just be overboard.
But, the more significant occurence, is that because of this blog, one of my first exes, Damon, commented on one of my posts and I just e-mailed him back today. I think because of my new co-worker, I was already thinking about my past relationships, so I had just recently thought about how badly things ended for Damon and I,which was mostly, if not all my fault. And I also wondered where he was in his life. So this was such a big coincidence it's kind of eerie, but in a good way. It was good to hear from Damon and how things are going for him. I'm glad that we bumped into eachother in cyberspace.
Finally, I bumpbed into a former high school and college classmate at work. She works as a post-doc for UC, where I work as an administrative assistant/supervisor. We lost touch with each other in college and just ran into each other for the first time in like 10 years at least. I hope to have lunch with her in the near future.
It's just so odd that these things are all happening "at once." I wonder who I'll run into next. |

| Well, I have to agree with your ex Damon, that it is very nice indeed to see how well and fulfilling your life has turned out. It is very heart-warming, and frankly, damn scary, to read what you're saying about being a first time mother - I am secretly(and even not so secretly) very glad that my fiancee and I are quite a ways off from having kids - perhaps in 5-8 years or so, we'll be able to handle such things as acute sleep deprivation, which would be fatal in our case, I think. Hmm...one hell of a run on sentence there... In any case, I just wanted to say hi, and that I am sorry... I doubt seriously whether I said that to you in any meaningful way back then, and in fact I'm sure you could care less what I have to say for myself at this time. So I'll bid you adieu, and wish you and your new family the very best life has to offer you. And best wishes to your parents and grandparents as well...I still love Princess² just as much today. Should you want to talk sometime, my email is my first_last@hotmail.com...perhaps I'll hear from you... -Eric |

It was nice to run into you in the waves of cyberspace. =) A month ago, I received an email saying that Mars and Earth are coming closer to eachother than they have in the past 5000 years in August, and they may not come this close again in the next 60000 years. They are supposed to be closest on August 27th, where Mars is supposed to be the size of the moon to the naked eye. I don't know the validity of this information, but it came to mind when I read your entry. I'll forward you the email, but I don't have a link to a specific website or I'd post it. It's kind of interesting.
And, to set the record straight, I have never felt the outcome and end of our relationship, and what happened afterward, was "mostly or entirely" your fault. I am at least half responsible for what happened. In any relationship, be it friend, family, or more than friend, there are at least two people involved, and they are responsible for their own individual actions. We both acted out of immaturity and inexperience. It may have been easier on both of us if things had been better or better handled, but 'tis a thing of the past and the only good that can come of it is to draw whatever wisdom you can from it so you do not make the same mistakes in the future ... and eventually try to make amends for whatever pain you have caused and regrets you may have. =) I truly believe you learn the most from the worst things, and the best things, that happen to you in life. It's probably because of the intensity of the emotions involved. They shape the person you become, and the wise person takes those experiences and that knowledge and tries to better themselves. I hope you do not truly believe you were any more at fault for what happened than I am for it would sadden me.
Warm regards,
Damon
