Happenstance

Sometimes people ask "how did you meet Hella?"

To this i usually answer "I bought her on E-bay, i was looking for a Zamboni you see, but well, she was going for a good price..."

But the real way we met is actually through a chain of happenstances

I'll show you the chain present to past so some of you can say "hey, i remember when that happened."

• Hella and I have been chatting through blogs and such for over a year. you have to go back pretty far to find our first chatting...-I met Hella through Sassy's blog
  
• I found Sassy's blog because she left a comment on Shora's blog (back when Shora used to blog, that is)
  
• I found shora nearly 3 years ago in a group of Canadians that i was quite close to for a time. The lead blogger in the group was a guy named Carmine.
  
• I found Carmine in a random search. his profile read: "Where to begin? Born in the southern reaches of Canada, I was raised near a park. That about covers it." that was enough to get me to read more. I even did a post about his blog, it's not much, but i didn't have anyone reading at the time.
  
• Carmine's blog came up in the search because back in the day if you went to the blogger home page and did a search for recent blogs it would show everyone who posted in the past 5 seconds.
  
• I had done the random search because i had just started blogging and i had no one reading my blog.
  
• the only reason i started blogging was because it was worth five points extra credit to type out your "daily journaling" on these new things called "blogs". This was my first post ever.
  
• the English class i was taking was one i had taken before, but my (at-the-time) friend Josh convinced me to take it with him.
• I met Josh my first year at Fullerton Jr. College, we probably wouldn't have talked to each other if it weren't for the fact that we sat next to each other.
  
  

it's weird to think that any one of these moments could have been missed so easily. a slight change, and i would be without the love of my life. guess there is something to say for luck. Cause i feel pretty lucky to have her.
