Weird One
I am taking a course through the University of British Columbia. There is an online discussion group related to this course. I have exchanged a few emails with a woman who I made contact with through this discussion forum. We have agreed to meet sometime soon to try and get through some material we are both having problems with in the course. I went out to UBC tonight to attend a lecture related to the course. I was sitting in the lecture hall and got the feeling the woman who I had exchanged a couple of emails with (never met her, never discussed our appearances, don't know thing one about her) was at the lecture tonight. There were over 60 people at the lecture tonight. I scanned the crowd one way, then went back the other way, then my mind went, 'Disco. That's her right there.'
At first break I approached this woman and asked if her name was -enter name-. She said it was and had we met before? I said we had never met but we had exchanged a few emails about the possibility of studying together. She asked how I knew who she was. I said I wasn't sure how I knew. Lucky guess. We're meeting on Thursday night. I swear on my brother's life this happened this evening.
I have been given my first writing assignment for a pretty good online magazine based in Vancouver. If the editor likes what he reads I may do some formal, published writing for them. I discussed how access to things like fashion shows works. He explained that the writers get media passes. That'd be funny. I end up feeling very Zoolander reviewing some new fashion line I saw at a show somewhere. There is the small matter of what the hell I would ever wear to one of these events. I'll have to ask my new friend from the lecture tonight to come shopping with me and pick out some clothes if this ever actually did come to pass.
