Dirty Little Secrets - Part Deux

When people ask us how we met, Brian and I say that we met through a mutual friend.

Technically, this is true. However, we are aware that this implies we met in person.

Nope.

I actually spotted him on Paula's MySpace page, thought he was adorable, and sent him a message. I had known Paula for several years working at Mervyn's, and he knew her through the teaching credential program at SJSU.

So, technically mutual friend.

We got to know each other through AIM conversations, and found out we had class right next door to each other @ SJSU. I met him in person for the first time after bumping in to him outside of class.

And by bumping in, I mean I purposely went to class early and pretended to have an important phone conversation out in the hall so I would be there when his class let out.

Why did we do it? I guess when we first started introducing one another to our respective families, telling the story to our parents/grandparents about how we met on MySpace didn't sound very appealing. I wouldn't imagine my grandpa would have taken him very seriously.

Thus, glossing it over as "through a mutual friend" seemed so much easier. No one questions that.

And technically, we weren't lying...right?
