it's striking to realize, after knowing someone for quite a few years, how little you actually know about them. i mean, seriously, i've just come back from hanging out with this girl that i've known (or not known actually!) for several years and i would not even be able to tell you her family name, how many siblings she has or what her parents' did for a living. i could tell you, however, about the time she went to the fair and watched a movie about roller coasters on a 180 degree screen.

it's really all quite random.

on a completely different note, i think it is due time that i come out at work. today's discussion at the lunch table: 'i think homosexuals are only in it for the sex.' thank god i only caught the end of my colleague's argument because there seemed to be quite a bit to disagree on and i mostly see it wise to stay out of it. so, yeah, i should put that in my to do list. (i wonder if that will good in my billable time. ah!)
