degrees of separation

[ilanarama]

I just figured out that the person who commented on one of my recent lj entries, in which I refer to someone who is a friend of one of my brothers (in the real-world and not the lj sense, although he is not referred to as such, so it's not obvious from the entry), is a friend (also in the real-world sense, although he is an lj friend of one of my other lj friends) of my other brother.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all different.

The first time I read this, despite having first noticed "it's ilana", I had sort of factored this off into "I'm reading an LJ" part of my brain, so when you mentioned your brothers I was somehow picturing some abstract random "brothers"--almost imagining them as your husband's brothers or something--until after I had completed reading it and was trying to puzzle out who was who in it that it dawned on me, wait, I've met both your brothers.

Both of them? Damn, don't screw my story up.
