"hey ..!"
i was just having a fun conversation with the busdriver (he kept speaking to me in french, and to our great amusement i kept understanding what he said. i haven't studied french in 9 years.) when somebody stepped onto the bus and..

"..hey! it's you! i know you!"

i looked up to see that it was steve (jan 13), the guy i sometimes talked to on the bus the very first semester i was in america. considering we hadn't talked since may 1998, it was quite funny to greet somebody like a long lost friend. in reality, we spoke maybe 15 times in 5 months a year and a half ago, but still.

    s: "so, you're still here? i just figured you'd gone back to sweden or something.."
    me: "well i did, and came back, etc. i moved after the first semester, though, so that is probably why i haven't seen you on the bus."
    s: "oh really? where do you live now?"
    me: "(bleep)"
    s: "oh really ?!? i live there too! what building?"
    me: "g. and you?"
    s: "e... do you live on the back or front?"
    me: "back."
    s: "i walk my dog past your apartement twice a day."

how funny is life sometimes? (i of course invited his dog to come over any time and say hi. oh. i guess he could come along, too. people can be fun... i guess.)
