(RL) Something in the water?

So I’ve been intending to write a lil something all week long, but never quite found the time. I even made a list of topics that I wanted to include so I wouldn’t forget when I finally sat down to write. That list will have to wait…..

I sent an email out today to everyone, with a few exceptions, in my address book announcing that The-Broad-Cast Forums had been relaunched and inviting all my friends and fans of the show to check them out, sign up, and hopefully even contribute to the lil community we are attempting to grow.

One of the responses I received came from an old friend, one who I was very close with all through elementary school, but had not been very good in keeping up with. I end up calling her on my ride home and we get to chatting about what is new and what we’ve been up to….much to both our surprise we’ve practically been living parallel lives. Pretty much our whole relationship history is identical! It’s so surreal and I’m still having trouble absorbing it all.

So, how on earth does this happen? Is it a result of our upbringing? Were we conditioned early on in a manner that would lead us down similar paths? Was it simply something in the water we digested at an early age? Or are we some social experiment for a higher being?
