Blast from the past.....

Okay, has anyone ever had the experience where you run into a random someone and they remember you like they just saw you last week, and you're going through every mental file cabinet in your brain trying to remember who they are? Yeah, that happened to me today. Literally ran into this girl around my age when I was out shopping with my mom. She recognized me right away and got all excited. She had long black hair that went down to her knees, glasses, and bluish violet eyes. I tried to remember anyone I knew that fit this description and came up with nothing. She then began to talk about all the fun times we had together at my old school, and I realized who she was. Karen, my best and only friend from elementary school. Back then, she didn't have glasses and her hair was really short and blonde. She had changed so much that there was no way I could recognize her! I'm surprised that she recognized me because in elementary school I had very short really curly hair(my mom used to jokingly call me Shirley Temple)and I now have long straight hair with reddish blonde highlights. We lost touch after seventh grade when she had to move, and I missed her so much. I'm so glad we found each other again :)
