This is going to sound so convoluted, but I promise there's a point: I received an email notification that you started following me on Twitter and I looked at your page, curious as to who you were. I clicked on your blog and saw that you linked to my work, so I figured that this is why you decided to follow me. Upon looking through your last few tweets, I noticed this one: "I'm so tired of hearing spoiled rich boys and girls yammer about the need "to examine their privilege."" This sounded eerily familiar, because just a few days ago I was reading a post on Feministe, and someone posted a comment saying pretty much the same thing. I found the post again to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and what do you know, I was right! It was you who posted that comment. What are the chances of someone seeing my work recently linked on a forum and emailing it to you (I have a sneaking suspicion that this is how it happened), whose words I was reading just the other day!
I also got back into Project Runway this season (one of the contestants is a 2010 graduate of my alma mater) and went to my local farmer's market on Saturday AND was annoyed by the live country music being played.

The point: It's a freaking small world out there.
You know, Olga, the world is even smaller than it seems. Believe it or not, my real name is also Olga. :-) :-) :-)
And I see that you also love cooking. These coincidences are too weird.

It's like I've stepped into the twilight zone!
This is too funny. :-) :-) :-)
