Friendship

Today I had coffee with a friend I haven't seen in over a year. Then I talked to a dear friend on the phone. Then I got to skype with another friend. I have this other friend that I have been meaning to call, and she called me today instead! Another friend texted me that she hopes we'll get to talk soon. I got to sit by a friend in class, and I had a chance to talk to another friend before class.

What a day to appreciate not only the beauty of friendship, but also the unique qualities that each relationship offers.

You Must Be What I Look Like

I had a consultation with a new doctor and the nurse who took my height and weight told me later that she is the same height and weight. She said she thought that I must look like what she looks like. Very interesting concept for both of us to think about. To me, she looks nothing like what I think I look like, and if she hadn't said anything, I never would have made that connection. However, it was definitely interesting to compare. I am pretty sure that I have no real concept of what I look like. Sure, I'd recognize myself in any picture or mirror, but if that woman was the same height and weight as me and I had absolutely no idea of that (even when she said it I was doubtful), I must be pretty unaware.

Can you spot someone with the same height and weight as you? Outside of a doctor's office, is there any pc way to approach that subject with anyone who's not a friend already?

Have you seen the Friends episode (season finale of Season 5, I just watched it a few days ago) where Joey finds his hand twin in Las Vegas (and perhaps more memorably, a drunk Rachel and Ross get married)?
