GChat

One of Whitney's friends recently posted a blog entry looking back at your very first gchat. As of 2:39 PM on January 6, 2011, I have exactly 8318 gchats logged in my account. The very first one was May 29, 2007, but is only one sentence long, saying "helllllllllllllo" to Connie. The first one of relevance was a month later on June 29. I gchatted with MOD who, at the time, was just finishing the traditional backpack-across-Europe post-grad trip. At the time we talked, she was in London with a boy from JMU who was her travel buddy. The trip didn't turn out as planned and she was ready to come home, asking who could pick her up from the airport since our gang was all headed to Mevans' beach house for the weekend.

At the end of the conversation, we talked about our new lives in DC after graduation and how "we will just have to find stable, normal boys in D.C." This was the perfect first conversation (ok, so technically second) because, fast forwarding to 2011, I'm living with Brian and MOD recently got engaged to her long-term boyfriend, Scott - both of whom we met in DC. Looks like everything's working out just as we planned!
