strange moment

As some may recall, on the EI trip and at other points during the semester there was a lot of discussion of human recognition and memory. for example, there is a theory that you can only remember 150 people at a time before your brain starts replacing them with others you meet. Discussing this at Vinylhaven prompted furious journaling and listing for verification. Also beyond Vinylhaven I remember conversations about how when you meet someone you automatically place them against people they remind you of. this can mean you treat them differently, favorably or unfavorably, based on your previous encounters.
well, xlv, you must really have gotten into my brain because not once, but TWICE have a seen people at school who i thought were somewhat familiar. they i realized, wait, i know why! they have the same voice/clumsiness as Noah! or, the same announcement/tide presentation voice as corey! (while making the step team announcement, oddly enough) ...i hope thats not creepy. the weirdest part is that these were people i knew before chewonki. one even, since 5th grade. with each faux-chewonki person i was never really close to but still had at least cursory interactions with, but i guess they were simply replace-able.
i just thought it was interesting that you guys (and i mean collectively, because im sure it'll happen more) are now the most familiar references for my brain. strange, but nice. it made my day.
hows that for taking chewonki with you!
