My next victim

So I hate talking about someone who added me on facebook but is someone that I really don't know...but I must. Yes Rebecca Murray deserves some praise for having the courage to add me, a stranger, on facebook a long-time ago one summer. I remember it like yesterday, but it starts off with another Volleyball player adding me on facebook first.

I had traveled 1 hour to get internet service so I could take my accounting test for an online summer course. I checked facebook when I was done and I noticed that Lauren Lamberti had added me on facebook...and it said that she played Volleyball at UConn. I thought it was cool...but odd that a volleyball player added me...since I had never seen their games before. As a matter of fact I dreaded playing volleyball in gym when I was in high school. 5 days later I drove 5 hours from New Hampshire back home to Stamford. When I arrived home I checked facebook and noticed that Rebecca Murray had added me on facebook. It said UConn Volleyball...now I was really confused...what in heavens hell did I do to be recognized by the UConn volleyball team? I had traveled an hour and then five hours so I could use the internet this one summer and both times I had random varsity volleyball players add me on facebook. As a matter of fact...according to UConn Huskies.com it was both members of the Freshman recruiting class. I thought it was odd...obviously... Then I clicked on Rebecca's profile and I saw that we had two friends in common. Lauren, and Stefon Camacho...my neighbor. Now I was really confused...maybe Rebecca Murray moved into my neighborhood. I didn't think it was a far fetched idea. I mean everyone in my neighborhood knew me, knew I was a sports fan who cycled a lot and went to UConn. Plus she added my neighbor Stefon. That's the only thing that I thought made sense. So I rode my bike for a while expecting to meet this UConn Varsity Volleyball player...It never happened... I asked Stefon if he knew who Rebecca Murray was and he was like ("I have no idea, but she added me on facebook too." Then I told him that she was a really great volleyball player when we saw each other Thanksgiving Break.) Then I figured it out...I guess Rebecca was looking to make facebook friends and Stefon was listed as being a freshman in the UConn network, just like she was. What Rebecca didn't know, that I knew was that Stefon wasn't going to Storrs. Stefon was going to UConn Stamford. So basically she added my neighbor and I on facebook at the same time thinking that we were both going to go to the same UConn she was going too. Well she was wrong and she made me think that a UConn volleyball player moved into my neighborhood...She added two random people on facebook that live down the street from each other...What a coincidence..

Because of this she will probably spike me in the head once with one of her kills.

But actually I have no idea because I have never once spoken to her...well just hi once...and "you added me on facebook."

What's funny is that while Lauren and Rebecca added me on facebook...Margot Demere did not. Margot was the only member of her Volleyball recruiting class not to add me on facebook. Margot is also the only one of those three who I ever had a class with. Margot is also the first one of those three that I ever spoke too. Actually Margot is the only one of those three who I ever had a decent conversation with. We spoke at the "Dig for a Cure" fundraiser in the student union when we worked together. Margot was really nice and she left me with a good impression. She actually was the only one of those three ever to wave at me. I actually was on my cell-phone at the time so I probably gave her a half and somewhat unfriendly wave...She probably doesn't realize that I do remember her pretty well and that she was a nice person who we are all lucky to have on campus. Plus there aren't too many people who would write that they can make Dolphin and Monkey noises in the team media guide as the answer for something that you wouldn't know about them.

On second thought...there is only one person on campus who would memorize that...and then make a conversation piece out of it...that person would be me.
