Had a great time at the Gothamist happy hour last night. Despite showing up somewhat late, I was able to chat with many of my fellow bloggers, some of whom I knew and some of whom I met for the first time. At one point, I was introduced to a blogger to whom I had linked in the past, not knowing who he was. When he was introduced to me by name and I saw his face, it took a moment, but then I placed him — we went to high school together waaaay back in the day. We spent a great deal of time catching up and reminiscing about who we were then and how our current lives are such an interesting contrast — I never would have pictured him the way he is today, and I’d imagine he might say the same about me. What about you? Would the people you knew in high school recognize you today, or is your current persona such a far cry from who you were then that you would be virtually unrecognizable?
And no name-dropping, but I wanted to give a shout-out the evil group of bloggers who kept me up way past my bedtime on a school night. You know who you are. . .
