Recognized

Today at the Wilk I was in line to buy some pictures.

(This is a tangent, but I want to share: I recently went to a freinds house who had TONS of pictures on the walls, in photo albums, hanging on the fridge and I felt inspired and printed out a bunch of pictures to display in my own home. I got them back today and I love them so much. I can't stop looking at them. They are so pretty and physical and I LOVE real prints!)

So I was in line to pay for these prints.
And when I got to the counter the girl looks up at me and says "Oh, hi. Your name is Becky. It's weird that I know that. Sorry."
I laughed and asked how she knew who I was.
"Oh, I'm really good friends with Taylor Elwood," (my high school boyfriend) I asked if she'd been writing to him on his mission and we chatted a little bit before she said, "Yeah well I facebook stalked you, which now sounds really creepy."

For some reason this conversation left me grinning. I walked back to the law school and was like "Hmm, I wonder who else secretly knows who I am...."
Because I blogstalk heaps of people that I would recognize in an instant but would never know who I am.
And I definately facebook stalked the ex-girlfriends of most of my guyfriends, especially if I liked them.

All in all, it was pretty funny.

And it made me think about high school and remember that sometimes it wasn't so bad. (I'm watching Freaks and Geeks now, and its really helping me remember all the terrible things about high school.)

Yeah, yeah. I know you all think I'm vain, but all the same, it was kind of nice to be recognized.
