Other Worldliness

I had a long discussion with my roommate this evening, probably the longest we've ever had to date.  One of the topics was about lovebug, but this time it wasn't (all) about her "behaviors" and any trouble she may be causing.

The other day he commented that lovebug had been crying very persistently the last 2 hrs I had been out.  What's interesting is that it started around the time that I started to get very overwhelmed at work (although it was maybe related to other variables as well).

I didn't tell him this but I was thinking it, especially because we somehow started talking about how he believes very much so in reincarnation and the principles behind it.  He went on to say that he feels lovebug and I found each other due to a past connection we had with one another in a previous life.

I have to admit, I think she grew a little distant from me for awhile and got attached to others.  She seems to have rebonded with me more recently, though.  The little bugger.
