Today is blast from the past day. I downloaded Adium and signed on both my AIM accounts at the same time. Apparently I hadn't signed onto the older one in a long time. My very first serious boyfriend ever signed on and we chatted on and off for much of the afternoon.

Much later in the afternoon I returned to my computer and saw this message from an account I didn't recognize,

"Good even, Miss Wren. You don't know me but your other persona and I went to the same community college years back. We were very good friends back then, until she transferred to [college redacted ;)] and haven't heard from her since. It was until a few years ago that her name accidentally popped up on the internet. Since then, I've been keeping tabs on her through your website and your two portfolio sites. That's how I came across your AIM account.
I guess she's not so thrilled about reminiscing about her days a [community college also redacted] especially with all the … “drama” and stuff she had been through during that time. All I want to say is that I'm glad to hear she's doing alright for herself and that she continue living out her life; happy, safe, care-free, joyful, and loving. If she ask, tell her this is from a tall, dark, and shady character with an unforgetable voice. Tell her...that I miss her a lot.
I apologize for any inconceivable Miss Wren, and I wish you well throughout the rest of your modeling career. "

It looks like the person doesn't speak English as a first language, but the only person who I know at the college who was ESL was a woman from Egypt. I have suspicions of who it is, but I don't really know what to say to the guy. For me community college was a long time away* and I don't really remember any detrimental drama, just acting out from a bunch of kids who were chronologically adults before their emotions and minds caught up. I just. What a strange message. I don't even know what to say.

*not in years, but in who I was then and who I am now.

And how weird is that, "you don't know me, but your other persona does" Who am I, Twoface? True, this is my stage name, not my real name, and I'm probably different in real life (I don't wear makeup, I'm shy, I wear men's shorts) than I am "at work" but I mean, it's not like you're going to tap me on the shoulder and I'm going to go all Poltergeist and say, "Isobel isn't here right now."

*wild eyed*

There is no Isobel, only Zuul!
