Found you on my friendsfriends page... just wanted to say hello. I grew up in Wheaton, played the violin, was in DuPage Youth Symphony and Chicago Youth Symphony and did a little bit of freelancing, went to Wheaton College for a year... we might have some points of convergence. :)

You scare me. Hi. Violachic's sister.

People from Wheaton scare me.

Self included.

good heavens! Who are you?!?!? Depending on how old you are, I probably know you. Actually, I have a name I want to throw out.... sounds something like Sarah Dominguez. Tell me, tell me! Your screen name sounds familiar, you are a friend of foxmagic, yes?

[evilhat.livejournal.com]

Hee. :) Yup, I'm a friend of foxmagic's.

My name's Lydia Leong. (I have a younger sister named Adeline, though, who has a pretty similar childhood history.)

Sarah Dominguez -- any relation to Matthew Dominguez? He was in my class at Wheaton Christian Grammar School, and I remember the family from College Church, too.

Hi, Lydia. Did you go to a school with a director named Keith for a while? A small, private school? I went there for a little while in 4th grade...

I also think you might know my friend, Felicia Sze (DuPage Youth). She lives out your way now.

I remember you! Yes, I did.

I remember Felicia, too -- she and I also studied with the same violin teacher, Lee Joiner.

Wow. Little teensy weensy world. ;)

Surprise of Surprises...

AND YOU ARE A GAMER!!!!!!

That, I never would have expected.

Neat.

I am! :)

In fact, I might have already been a gamer by the time we met... that was the year that I started playing D&D, running Keep on the Borderlands for some of the other students.

I hung out with gamers, but never played until late high school (Rifts, Call of Cthulu). Thought I was done.

But now, about 50% of my friends are gamers... Including my boyfriend and one of my best friends.

Yes, I know exactly who you are! I see you have figured out you know my sister. I'm Amy Knickrehm. I think we actually car-pooled for youth symphony for a while (altho was it CYSO or classical? I can't remember). I definitely knew Adeline in HS. I think she was a freshman when I was a junior. I played in the same concerto concert she did :-) This is really freaky and really cool! You didn't go to Wheaton Central/South for hs, did you? I'd ask more comprehensive questions, but I'm too tired to think of any now. I'll definitely add you to my friend's list.

I'm sure the Dominguez's are related. I think there were like 10 kids in the family. Dr. Dominguez died in a nasty car accident when I was 18 or 19.

I _think_ it was Classical, but I can't remember either. :)

I went to Wheaton Central, except for my sophomore year, when I was at IMSA.

Yup, same Dominguez family.

More later, perhaps. :)
