Small world

[semperfiona]

I've been running up against the Small World Syndrome lately. People I know in one context turning out to know other people I know in another context.

Just a few examples...
• indigobynight invited me to join a local email and social group. The people who run the pagan group that disinvited Rosa and me turn out to be members.


• Robin and Meredith know Bill, the bassist of "Book of Lies", and have attended the shows. That's the friend of Pam whose band that was playing the night my car went crunch. In fact Robin and Meredith were at the show last Friday that Pam invited me to but I couldn't go.


• They also mentioned Brad from the STL poly group, whom I know only by email. Can't say the reference was complimentary though.


• I don't know chaiya but I feel like I should: we have two entirely disparate mutual friends, mactavish and quinnclub.
