When Worlds Collide

I find it unsettling when worlds collide - not bad, not good, just unsettling. I view my world in compartments, you see? Or at least I try to. Work is work. Home is home. Social is social. I rarely venture into a world that combines different sectors of my life. In fact, I am just now getting used to the idea that it is actually possible to make friends at work. I know. I am (almost) 30. This really should have occurred to me about 15 years ago.

Facebook has created this weird phenomenon that makes worlds collide and always baffles me - people I know, know each other. That whole "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" thing exists in the real world and not just in the celebrity world. Weird. Slowly, I got used to that idea.

And then this happened...

Two of my loves in this world are one in the same - and I had no idea.

Love #1 - Gossip Girl. What a fabulous waste of time guilty pleasure show. I can't get enough and you can't think less of me for it.

Love #2 - The Pretty Reckless. Catchy. Girl Power. Fun.

How was I to know that Taylor Momsen was a part of both of these projects? Well, now I know.

 Mind. Blown.

Another cross-over to make me feel weird about just how small this world actually is.
