Every week or so -- no, really, almost every week or so -- I meet someone new who tells me I look familiar. And every time, I have to politely (usually) tell them that we don't actually know each other. Sometimes we play the let's-stalk-mutual-friends-on-Facebook to see how we know each other. Sometimes we play the which-school-did-you-go-to game that ends with us not actually having any common connections. And sometimes I just nod and proceed with life.

I can't quite place my finger on when this trend started. I secretly used to think it must be because I am famous from this blog, but let's be real, it's definitely not that. But it's been happening more often now.
