For several months, I've been receiving a Facebook friend request from a girl that, as far as I could tell, graduated from my high school the year after me.  Now, if you know me at all, you know I didn't have many friends back then ...let alone acquaintances from other grades.  I'd taken to ignoring her.  Then, after another abandoned request this week, I received this:

hi there

i know we never knew each other in h.s. (and you've probably been thinking who on earth is this person trying to add me as a friend) but because i feel that people don't tell each other about these little things, I'd thought I'd let you know: i remember when you sang at the talent show my junior year. and you sang ani difranco's "joyful girl".

it was so, so beautiful. so i have to tell you thank you, for that beautiful song, and thank you, for introducing me to an artist i'd would've otherwise been ignorant to.

(and i remember your bicycle at 301 howard, i used to work there on the 9th floor, and had a blue bike).

all the best,
kim

Just when you think you know people, you realize you know nothing at all.
