world too small to fit in head, part [N]
Nov. 24th, 2022 07:43 pmI am about 99% sure I just encountered a friend of mine from third/fourth grade.
She's a comedian who works with Seth Meyers, who is apparently also a comedian of some note.
I mean, it's not like her bio says "Jenny Hagel went to White Oaks Elementary" but her age is right, she looks (and sounds) really familiar, and there's a couple of tiny facts that line up with what I remember.
For complicated reasons that boil down to "later elementary school was Intensely Traumatic," I still clearly remember a bunch of my friends and acquaintances from third/fourth grade. There's basically no chance any of them remember or recognise me, though. I made my peace with that a long time ago. (Mostly by running into three of them and each time getting "nope, don't recall you, but i'll take your word for it.")
But it's good to see she's doing well.
