new wool hat

So the excuse I gave for not going out with the "gang" (if you will) after the aforementioned poetry/fiction reading is "I have to finish my notes on this book." So of course I came right home and finished my notes on this book spent 2 hours looking up people I know on Google. And - this was bound to happen sooner or later - I found my long-lost childhood friend. She won some science award. And I'm pretty sure it's her, because on the page listing the awards, there were also pictures. Her haircut's changed since she was 8, but otherwise she looks the same.

I found her e-mail address too.

Would it be too weird? (She's at a school in my home state. Not an hour away from where we grew up.) The last time we saw each other, we made friendship bracelets out of embroidery thread. I still have them, come to think of it.
