There is a good chance that of all my friends on facebook, I've known Sterling longer than anyone except the loving family members of mine who found me on facebook. Funny story. I use to go bowling a lot as a small child. Sterling also bowled and because of this mutually common practice, we knew each other as kids. I remember he came to my birthday party at the bowling alley and had some cake one time. Then I stopped bowling, or he did - can't remember which happened first. Since we weren't bowling we never saw each other until one day I found him in high school hanging out in the art room with Landon, a kid I knew from middle school and art class. We weren't really good friends or anything so I have no idea what happened to him after high school, but he lives in New York now and I'm okay with not really knowing or caring about the details. After all, we never really sought out each other as friends, but ended up knowing one another twice in life because of stuff we had in common. Other than those two things, we pretty much lived different lives. Now, thanks to facebook, we have a third thing in common and we are friends reunited after all these years. Like a fairy tale.
