Re: weird internet happenstances

I think this is more filed under "it's a small world" but it has to do with the internet and it weirded me out.

My best friend in the fandom at the time lived half the country away. We ran in a pretty tight circle, and she and I started chatting with one of her friends, who she had told her a lot about me. We got along famously for a bit, our conversation wandered to RP, and LARPing that she had done for the first time. She mentioned she rode down with a girl, who had the same name as my roommate's boyfriend's sister. So I jokingly said "Not John's sister, right?" and she got quiet and said "how did you know her brother is named John?"

It turned out that this person I had never talked to before and just met through a friend halfway across the country knew my roommate and her boyfriend and had participated in the same LARP as them just a few weekends prior. It was super weird and really funny after the initial flail of HOW DO YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE HAVE I ACTUALLY MET YOU BEFORE!?

haha, that's awesome! A similar thing happened to me, too. I knew this guy on a runescape forum who lived in the same country as me. Didn't really think much of it and then one day at school I was talking to my friend who had been to a quaker camp thing, and she was talking about this guy who had the same name. I mentioned it on the forum and he asked about my friend and what her name was, and yeah, he was the same guy my friend was talking about. That was like, 5 years ago but I still think it's pretty great. (Mind you, there's only about 2 degrees of separation here.)

Quakers and Quaker stuff are the source of at least 75% of my weird internet coincidences because there aren't actually that many of us.
