Oh we're related?

Oops. The post I wrote the other day was about someone who friended me on a social networking site. I didn't know who they were but I knew that it was someone close because of the way they addressed me and who else they were friends with on the site.

Well it turns out that the person is my relatives, one of my 2nd or 3rd cousins. I haven't seen her in a good 15 years minimum so it's no wonder the name rang a bell but I couldn't quite place her.

At least now we'll keep in touch more. That's always a good thing.

Who are you again?

I labeled this post friends, but that word should be in quotations. I just got a request on a networking site from a old friend. I accepted the request even though I have no idea who this person is. Then they private messaged me and asked how I was doing. They even referenced something personal so I know they know who I am.

The problem is that I have no idea who this person is. The name doesn't even remotely ring a bell. I know her last name could be different (marriage and such) but the first name doesn't sound familiar. She doesn't have a common first name either so I should know who she is. But nope, no clue.

Hopefully I'll figure it out soon.
