Apples to Apples?

A thousand years ago, I completed all of the course work required for my masters, and then left the paper work up to someone else. That resulted in perhaps the best lession from all of grad school- don't trust other people. I found out six months ago or so that the paper work was messed up, so I filed it correctly, and because of that, I "graduated" in June. Ridiculous? Of course. A reason for gathering? Most certainly. I invited Shawn, Jason, his BF Kiel, Angela, Chris, Shannon, Colin, his GF Jess, Marissa, Angela (yup, two Angelas), and Devin over for games, cupcakes, and drinks. Unfortunate stories were relayed, much alcohol was consumed, Taboos were revealed, and a porch was christened, so to speak. Linda has been waiting for the gathering for months, but not because she could be here. Linda was convinced that the world would implode if Colin and Shawn were ever to meet. That is because they are strangely similar, and yet completely different. Matter to anti-matter, Superman to Batman, bizarro versions of one another. So they met, and yet here we are, the world just as it was the day before. So are they Apples to Apples? Not really, but I loved playing the game.
