too weird.

[jazzfish]

Leigh the Waldenmanager and I got to talking this evening about the stupidity of Kids These Days. From there it moved into some vague high-school reminiscences. Then he says "You're from Northern Virginia, right?"

"Yeah, went to Jefferson, graduated in '95."

"Maybe you knew. . . nah. She's way too young."

Heh. "I might know her. Who?"

"Erica. . . ."

Warning bells start going off in my head.

"Hughes. Erica Hughes."

"Jesus! Wow. Yeah, I knew her, she was a freshman when I was a senior."

"I dated her for a summer, right after she graduated."

*mind boggles*

Holy freaking wow. Sometimes the world REALLY needs to be less small.

good old Erica. i was just talking about her the other day.

just in case he asks, she's in Turkey at the moment, hanging out with the communist party. don't ask me how Erica and Muslim countries are managing to mix without nuclear holocaust, but it seems to be happening.
and either way, in the words of my friend Thomas, we are out of the blast radius.

Hi-freakin'-larious that she brings about this reaction. Jenna and I were talking about her for some reason the other week. Funny how some people continue living in the collective subconscious.

Ah, another excellent entry in the "Where are they now?" genre.

I keep getting her goddamn travelogue. It makes me feel so inadequate.

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

How are you getting this?

[pictsy.livejournal.com]

She likes to send mass emails. I think it's zarathustraspeaks at msn dot com

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I shall try that.

Erica Hughes? Is that Jesus' real name? Or are lots of weird people con-fusing in this old noggin of mine?

I almost whacked her in the head with a sword once.

Erica Hughes, the crazy, blonde, pot-smoking, national junior fencing champion, dramaturg, a.k.a. Jesus, a.k.a. Mallory. :)

According to her, her legal name is Jesus Erica Hughes, but her name on the school records was Erica Anne Hughes.

[jazzfish]

That's her.

I almost whacked her in the head with a sword once.

. . . if I'm remembering the motivation for that right, you probably should've.
