What the hell
I went ahead and popped her an email. Confidence is high that it’s the same woman I went to HS with, since her email on the alumni website is the same university that this woman is associated with, and even though we didn’t really know each other, I can’t help but feel a little bit of kinship over the ABD thing.
And the picture I found of her when I Googled her name (M. calls this “stalking” - I call it curiosity, and it was linked to a newspaper article in the Japan Times, which says “not trying to hide” to me) looked very pleasant, and was accompanied by the slightly surprising, but very lovely, news that she’s got a lesbian partner and a sweet baby boy.
So, if I’m a stalker, so be it.

If it’s one of those picture-heavy things, I could probably do it; if it’s a novel kind of deal, it would take me longer than it would be worth to you.
I like crafts…
Why don’t you email me and we can set something up? xilerui [at] hotmail [dot] com!

And, no, M. is a shame to his nationalit(ies), since he thinks half of the Korean words he knows are Japanese.
