so the craziest thing just happened at lunch today.
last night before bed, i'm watching some 3s videos, and i get the idea to ask a guy on stage6 where he got one of his 3s videos. so i log onto stage6 to send him a message.. but then i see that i have a new friend request from this guy, a student at UCSD. i check out his vids and whatnot, and do some random stuff. i make some lunch plans for the next day, one of which is to go to the UCSD bookstore to buy a textbook that i needed for a class that starts next tuesday.
this morning, though, i am a little late to get to work, so i decide to go to UCSD tomorrow instead. but then wendi calls me around noon, and says she's at the library and that the vendor fair is happening on library walk. so i'm like, ok cool, i'll pick up my book and hang out with her.
so i go to price center, which is packed during lunch as always. there's some fraternities/sororities rushing or something, and there's a band playing, blah blah blah. i get my book from the bookstore, then i walk through the food court inside, which i noticed is lacking a wendy's now. it's hella crammed, so i head over to round table.
outside round table, i see a guy talking with a girl, and i think huh, that guy kinda looks like the dood from stage6 last night.. maybe i should ask if he is. but then i'm like, ok, he's just another asian guy, and all asians look alike. so i go inside and get my pizza (2 slices of pepperoni, 1 slice mushroom).
after i get my pizza, i step outside round table and notice that the guy is still there talking with the girl. so i just walk up, and stand there. they look at me and i'm like, "hey is your name chris lee?" and he's like "yyyeah..." and i say "hey did u sign up for stage6 recently?" and there's a moment of confusion, and then his face lights up and he says "yeah!". i tell him i just approved his friend request last night and that i watched his videos. we talk about divx for a little bit, and he says that bruce lidl from divx gave a talk to his "youtube class" or something. there's some more chitchat, i give him my business card, we shake hands.. and that was it.
i met up with wendi and told her about what just happened. i spent the next 15 minutes just being amazed at how huge of a coincidence it all was.
