Last night a bunch of us interns went to the Reds game (they have a minor league team here in Sarasota) because it was $1 night so we got in for a dollar and hot dogs, soda and popcorn was a dollar. I had the smallest world experience, I will have to detail right now. Like this is almost creepy:
So, we're all sitting there, about 10 of us and it happens to come up that I'm from CA and one of the girls, goes, "Where?"
me: "northern"
her: "where?"
me: San Francisco bay area"
her: "me too, I'm from this tiny little town, you've probably never heard of..."
me: "try me, I bet I will"
her: "Livermore"
me: "Are you kidding me? No way! You're lying right now! I'm from Livermore!!"
(for simplicity of this post, her name is Amberlee)
Amberlee: "where do you live?"
me: "by Mines and East Ave"
Amberlee: "I live right off of Loyola on Amy Ct"
me: Dude, I live on Eve Ln like 2 blocks from there!"
Amberlee: "Holy .... Did you go to Livermore?"
me: "Yeah, what year did you graduate?"
Amberlee: '05, when did you?
me: '07
Amberlee: "Oh, my brother was in your class."
me: "What's your last name?"
Amberlee: "Belsick"
me: "Dude, I know your bro, Jarrod, he went to Jackson with me!"
(meanwhile, all the other interns are sitting there like what in the world is going on?!)
How crazy is it that I am across the country and one of the other interns is not only from CA, and the Bay area, but she is from my hometown and I went to elementary, middle and high school with her and her brother and we live blocks apart?! Honestly, I couldn't even make that up. I'm still amazed.

Small world!!!!! G'ma R.
