Parallelisms: Six Degrees Between

Sometimes I think the parallels that exist in our realm of the universe are incredibly intricate and invasive.

A few weeks ago I met a man at a concert of a different type - this one was of the electronic genre - that I had decided to attend alone. We had a wonderful evening of dancing, kissing, and well, you know. Anyway, I'll leave it pg-rated, but let's suffice it to say that it was an evening of some firsts (and probably lasts, too). Nevertheless, I walked away not knowing his last name and he walked away not knowing my digits.

At first, I was horrified that he didn't even have the consideration to ask, regardless of usage thereafter, but then, and ever since, I have done absolutely nothing but laugh at the entire situation. Sometimes being 30+ definitely has its upsides - things like self-confidence and self-assurance.

Now, I am admittedly a 100% certified google stalker. If you want something found, leave it to me. All jokes aside. So, of course, I found out that which I did not know - his last name, all based simply on his occupation and employer! Something tells me he doesn't have the required wherewithal to find my phone number in quite the same way, but even more pertinent, the care to do so. No worries...the ball is always in my court...

A week later, some good friends and I were out for a night of dancing, and lo and behold, we walk into the venue just in time to see the prince, the inside joke will have to be left inside, and his roommate enjoying some adult beverages. Needless to say, he made a speedy exit for the door as soon as he was able. Now, the city we live in is in no way a small one, and this "chance" encounter sent me into hysterics, definitely at his expense, not mine. How's that for six degrees of separation?

Fast forward to today...

As I am doing my google rounds on exes just to see what's going on in their lives - and no, I do not do this often, maybe once a year or two, seriously! - anyway, as I was saying, my google trolling found a very interesting tidbit today. Upon the ending of his former employment, my ex took on a new role in a very large company based in our city. Though this employer is certainly a major one in our area, it was still disconcerting to discover that he has the exact same position as...you guessed it, the prince!

Ah, the irony!!
