Jill
Fw: Liason Information
Jill wrote to inform you she will be the 2nd grade class liaison for the 2009-2010 school year. She listed the upcoming volunteer opportunities for parents and reminded all to have their background check performed, as it is a school requirement. I replied to inform her she had the wrong Rachel Whitlock. Jill apologized and explained that this is the email she got from Mrs. Greene.

Sydney
One Night With you
Sydney wrote, "I miss you already !!! :( ". I noted his signature, which indicated he was writing from his work account. Did you meet under professional pretenses, a conference perhaps? I did not write back. Should I have replied, is his heart broken? If so, did you break it, or did I?



3/14/11


Sydney
NCAA POOL
Sydney attached the brackets for an NCAA tournament and instructions on how to participate. I replied to let him know he had the wrong email. He did not respond. It'd been a year since his last message, so I wonder if we were copied here by mistake or if he's talked with you in the interim. 



5/22/11


Leslie
great book!
Leslie wrote to inform you of a children's book entitled, "No Biking in the House Without a Helmet". She thought you might enjoy it because it is "funny and interesting" and "wonderful". I wrote to let her know she had the wrong Rachel Whitlock. Perhaps I should still give it a read, though?



5/23/11


Leslie
great book!
Leslie forwarded the same email message to me again. I replied to let her know it was the same address. She responded that she was using the email from a school directory and that it had a "." in it. I kindly informed her that the gmail system does not account for periods in the address. In an attempt to set her at ease for her error, I casually ended my message saying, "Believe me, I get a lot of email for other Rachel Whitlocks". Of course, "a lot" is a relative term, but my journey in this respect had only just begun.



12/18/12


Lori
Address...
Lori reports that she got your Christmas e-card, but that she is still old-fashioned and mails her cards, and will need your address again as she has twice sent Jason & Lindsay's announcement only to have it "come back yet again!!!" She signs the message "Aunt Lori". I let her know she has "the wrong Rachel Whitlock (it happens a lot)". Lori says thanks and "Merry Christmas! : ) " She seems sweet.

Lauren
Fwd: Vocal Audition Info
This email was a forward from Lauren's iphone. Her message reads, "Looks like he had your email wrong. Sorry! I guessing on this new one.... Let me know you get this." [sic] and below that is a message regarding church choir auditions for the 10:45 a.m. service. Indeed, the first time it appears to have been sent to "rachael whittick". I informed Lauren that the address was unfortunately incorrect again. She did not reply.



5/19/14


Lana
Emmy [REDACTED] passport
Lana has attached a scan of Emmy's passport; the two share a last name so I imagine Emmy is her daughter. I inform Lana that this is the wrong email address, and that I will delete the photo. I forgot to delete it, but I did not compromise her security. I hope, for her sake, she will be more careful next time.



9/2/14


Laura
9/25
Laura wrote to inform us that we could schedule [REDACTED]'s surgery for 9/25. I let Laura know that this was the wrong email, that I do not live in Indiana, and that I was pretty sure another Rachel Whitlock had given out this address for about two years. In fact, I lived close by (in Chicago), and my estimate of two years was wildly inaccurate. Laura thanked me for letting her know and informed me that this was the email address listed for the person she was trying to reach, and invited me to "have a great wonderful day!". I do not recall whether or not I had a great wonderful day on September 2nd, 2014. Did you? I hope you did.



9/12/14


Elizabeth
A message from Mrs. Gzeskowiak's Class Liason
Elizabeth (self-identified as "Charlie's mom") wrote to introduce herself as class liaison for the 2014-2015 school year. She let the parents know about upcoming school events, and reminded everyone to turn in their pledges for Grade Level Enrichment before the Rocket Walkathon. She then sent a separate message with a recap from the recent PTO meeting. A few docket items from this meeting were the school’s anti-bullying initiatives, upcoming back-to-school events, and the new SpiritWear that should be delivered by the end of September (feedback on the SpiritWear is reportedly positive). I replied, "Hi, I'm afraid you have the wrong email address. Whoever gave you this one has apparently been handing it out to quite a few different people and organizations, so if you wouldn't mind letting the Rachel Whitlock you know that she has the address wrong, it would be extremely helpful! Thanks, Rachel". Elizabeth apparently ignored or was displeased with my message because on October 7th, 2014, she wrote again in search of classroom volunteers. This time I decided I ought to be succinct and wrote, "You have the wrong email address. Please remove me from your mailing list". While I hope referring to her friendly and informative messages as a mailing list was not insulting to the ethos of the close-knit school community, she did remove me from her future messages.

If i was to come between 19th March to 4th or 5th April could you tell me how much that would be please? I am very excited about possibly staying here as i used to live in the blue apartments across the field and i would like somewhere familiar."

Carpet Estimate
Matt has attached the estimate for the carpet project. It says its for your "new house in Carmel". Congratulations on the move. I inform Matt that this is the wrong email, and invite him to let you know the situation. I never hear back. I wonder if he told you. I wonder if you wonder about me. I wonder how the new carpet feels under your footsteps. Is it plush? Did it make your new house feel like your new home?

Debbie from Health Utah enjoyed meeting you at the Utah County Fair, where she did a body scan with you. She wanted to follow up and let you know they are having some "Free Health and Weight-loss Seminars" coming up and provided the dates and times. I certainly can't speak to the experience of living in your body, but I hope you are cautious about this casual equating of health with weight loss.

This email confirms recent changes made to your profile.

St. Vincent
St. Vincent - Patient Portal
St. Vincent is pleased to provide you with access to their Patient Portal. I cannot reply to this email because it is an unmonitored inbox. My notice of erroneous receipt, were I to send one, would languish away, unread and unheeded. This email, therefore, notifies me that my only possible course of action is inaction, because to take action would be the same as doing nothing at all. I do nothing. It's satisfying, at least, to know definitively over what you do and do not have control.

Carolyn
here are the notes I have on the Carols
Carolyn has written to Troye and cc'd us to inform him of the ideas for the December 20th service. She has attached a document with introductions for each Christmas carol to be sung that night.



12/8/15


Carolyn
Ok here we go
Carolyn suggested getting the group together soon to give out lines, etc. Beth replies, wondering whether it was decided not to do "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Carolyn replied that she is worried about time. Carolyn replied again to say she could not find the videos. Carolyn replied again to ask us what we think about the two clips mentioned by Beth for 12/20.



12/8/15
Carolyn
this would not include kids - its the opening
Carolyn has written all the information you need in the subject line and included only this link as the body of the message: 
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=Vr2kPUG8stM



12/8/15
Carolyn
Links that Rachel found on youtube a good range for kids - can these be put on CD? Also can you confirm the rehearsal time for this service
Carolyn’s email again has no message body, except to include the following links that you found on YouTube:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2xveKs0FeRA&feature=youtu.be
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R8hHOmpt_MQ&feature=youtu.be

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B44dPW08TGg&feature=youtu.be

Beth replied that she can burn these to CD. Carolyn replied to ask us how many CDs we would need. Beth replied to say she has everything uploaded but will wait to burn the cd's until we are sure we are not adding any more songs. Carolyn replied that she can also do a short message on joy.

Re: Flow for the 20th
Carolyn wrote to ask if we want more kids, and suggested having a carol sing-a-long.

Names for the program
Troye is sorry to bother us, since he said he wouldn't until Friday, but he needs the kids' names for the program. I am not able to provide this information.



12/17/15


Carolyn
with the changes we discussed
This 10 message email thread begins with Carolyn sending the Christmas Carol service program at 11:46 a.m. on December 12th. Troye and Beth weighed in with comments and edits, Carolyn made some changes, and you were never heard from. They discussed until 4:45 p.m. that day, at which point Troye finally texted you to get the kids' names for the program-- presumably because you did not reply to his last email. You did reply to his text, though, and he emailed the list to everyone at 4:53 p.m. So now I do have the names of the kids, in case anyone needs them.



12/18/15


Carolyn
Creative Team gathering 12/29 @ 6:30 p.m. [ADDRESS REDACTED] Drive Indianapolis
Carolyn wrote to engage the team with the upcoming year's schedule of speakers for services. It is a long email with lots of details and lots of other people copied on it, so I felt it prudent to inform Carolyn of the situation.

I wrote, "Hi Carolyn, I'm afraid you have the wrong Rachel Whitlock! The Rachel Whitlock you know has been giving out my email address for a few years now, to many, many people. If possible, please let her know this, as I obviously cannot contact her (I don't know her!).

Thanks, and happy holidays,
-The Other Rachel Whitlock"

Carolyn replied, "She told me I'm so sorry Merry Christmas C"

Which means you know I exist, in a way. What do you think about that, or about me and the way I've handled the situation? Are you receiving my email? You've never once written to me to ask me to forward messages to you or address the situation, it's like you'd rather pretend I don't exist. On December 27th, Carolyn replied all to her original message to remind everyone of the upcoming meeting, so again looping me in. I want to be clear that I am at the very least, a passive recipient, but it is true that I have made a choice to occasionally move beyond passivity into active engagement. It does not feel healthy to move through life passively receiving what comes your way, nor to cast aside an opportunity to glimpse another person in a new way. So I'm looking for you. Carolyn's teaser for the January 3rd service was as follows, "Force Quit/Restart/Sleep/Shut Down: What will you choose? As we gather on the dawn of a New Year we will look at the choices and possibilities that come with a New Year. What are your plans? Will you reboot, reinvest, restart or just keep going as if this is any other time of year..." Great questions, but with each day comes the ability to choose, we needn't wait until the new year. We could "reboot", as it were. We could restart. I as you and you as me--it’s nothing more than a simple shift in perspective. What are your plans, Rachel?



1/2/16


Troye
song assignments for 1/10/16
On the day that Troye sent this message to you (and the rest of the choir), I was packing up my one bedroom apartment in Chicago with my husband and dog, and preparing to drive across the country to move to Richmond, VA. I would pass through Indianapolis, where you presumably were, around noon on January 3rd. Maybe I saw you. Maybe you felt me. Your song for this week was, "What Do I Know of Holy". As for myself, the closest I've come to holy are the ecstatic moments of shared awareness with another human that are so rare, but so joyful and indescribably pure. This state can be most reliably produced through drugs or sexual union (or anything that shifts your consciousness) but is also possible with less contrivance, just true openness, interest, and lack of judgement. It is very difficult for me to be vulnerable because I am full to the brim with fear, yet I crave a closeness that can only be achieved through mutual vulnerability: knowing and being known. I would describe these experiences as spiritual. This is what I know of "holy".

Kate
I'm seeking actors...
Kate has taken over direction for a new show at the local theatre. It's Nightingale, a dark drama with "adult themes of mental illness, alleged rape, and incest". She is seeking a male actor, aged 30 and up, and a female who plays 19 into 20's (but at least 18 years of age). Since you do not meet these demographics, I am hoping you weren't too disappointed to not receive this casting call, though perhaps you were able to attend the production.

Carolyn
Groove Essential Music by Groove Essential | Free Listening on SoundCloud
Carolyn forwarded Grove Essential’s Soundcloud page to several members of your committee for consideration. I suppose she had already forgotten our previous exchange. After six replies from the group regarding this musician's work, I made a bold move and forwarded the whole email chain, with no comment or additional text, to you. I guessed the address-- mine but with an "A". I did not receive a reply from you, but Mary and Doug both replied to Carolyn's message with me copied.

Edith
Resume
Edith has written, "Hello Rachel? Its me edith , Recieve my cv for in case of any referal. Thanks Rachel" I reply and let her know this is the wrong address and wish her luck. She replies, "But why Rachel it's me Edith it's you who sent me your email address via whatsap. Have you forgotten about me already?" I rack my brain. I did not use WhatsApp on a regular basis in 2016, and Edith appears to be based in Kampala, Uganda, which I have not visited. But I hate that she feels forgotten. I let her know the Rachel she spoke with must have been mistaken, there is likely a subtle spelling difference in our addresses, and I receive a lot of her mail. She replies, "Ok. Thanks Dia for being patient with me." But of course, Edith never tried my patience, and it is likely not her error. I note from her CV that Edith was born exactly 11 months, to the day, after me.

Mary wanted to know if the kids want to say the prayer or she should plan on praying.

Folio Residence Inn Merrillville
Matthew, Assistant General Manager, has attached the folio from your recent stay, as requested. You stayed just one night, alone (presumably). According to google maps, the hotel is a 2 hour and 8 minute drive from your home, and a 1 hour drive exactly from my apartment in Chicago. Unfortunately, I had already moved to Virginia, placing your stay at 11 hours and 50 minutes from me, in the best traffic conditions.

Tara is excited to schedule your talk with Jena, as they heard great things about you and your career at [REDACTED]. I wrote back to Tara and said, "Hi Tara, I'm afraid you're emailing the wrong Rachel Whitlock! Hope you find the one you need.
Best,
Also Rachel Whitlock"
Tara replied and invited me to have a great weekend. Thanks, Tara. I hope we both find what we need.

I enjoyed watching this video interview with you and your daughter. Leintz apologized in his email for featuring you more prominently in the video than you wished. He explains that they didn't have enough footage of your daughter alone to make the five minute video, but to think of her as the portrait and yourself as the frame. This was the first time I had ever seen your face, or heard you speak.

Rachel, you're going places, Uber will get you there.

Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
At 1:29 a.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, to [REDACTED] Ct., Fairfax, VA, arriving at 1:48 a.m. The trip was $30.36 and 15.59 miles long. You rode with Rizwan. What did you think about for 18 minutes and 55 seconds? Were you alone? When you looked out the window at the night, did you see the passing scenery, or did you see your own face reflected back? Did you know that when you arrived at [REDACTED] Ct., Fairfax, VA, you were only 13.5 miles from the hospital where I was born?



11/19/17


Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
You left [REDACTED] Pkwy., Leesburg, VA at 1:00 a.m. and travelled 6.62 miles to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. The trip took 11 minutes and 27 seconds.



11/23/17


Uber
Receipt for canceled trip on Wednesday evening
You cancelled two trips this evening. The first one was requested at 12:40 a.m. and cancelled at 12:52 a.m., and your pick up spot would've been [REDACTED] Hwy., Ashburn, VA. Then at 1:00 a.m., you requested a ride again, 3.9 miles away, at [REDACTED] Blvd., Ashburn, VA, and cancelled the request at 1:19 a.m. Both of these addresses appear to be devoid of businesses or homes; they are forlorn spots on busy roads. Were you requesting an Uber from inside a moving vehicle? How did you think they would pick you up? Did you need to escape the car you were in? Your canceled requests cost you $5 each.



11/28/17


Uber
Your Uber ride has been scheduled
At 9:24 p.m., you scheduled a 4:05 a.m. pickup from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, which I think is your home address, out to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). You then edited the pickup time to 4:00 a.m. Better safe than sorry.



11/29/17

Your Wednesday evening trip with Uber
You were picked up at 4:03 a.m., and arrived at the airport at 4:37 a.m. Where did you fly?

Uber
Your Thursday evening trip with Uber
At 11:14 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Cir., Sterling, VA, to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. The trip was 9.5 miles and took 15 minutes and 31 seconds. You rode with Ibrahim. In his profile photo he looks gruff and tired.



12/26/17


Uber
Your Tuesday evening trip with Uber
at 11:02 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Blvd., Mt. Lebanon, PA, to [REDACTED] St., Pittsburgh, PA. The latter address is a hotel, and their Google listing reports them as LGBTQ friendly, which is nice.

Thanks for Partying with Us!
Ashley and the Team at Express MiE, a pole dance studio in Chandler, Arizona, would like to thank you for joining them for a party, and extend a special offer for their level 1 "Pole~ah~Tease" Course, which is a 90 minute class that "begins with an incredibly motivating Kundalini Yoga warm-up, followed by a workout that trains all the right body parts needed to be successful in pole dance moves." Unfortunately, I don't think you live in Arizona, but were probably just visiting for a bachelorette party. I hope it was fun and helped you to "bring out your Inner Goddess full of sultry, sassy tease" as the website promises.



1/21/18


Uber
Your Saturday morning trip with Uber
You took another Uber at 1:00 a.m. on the dot-- why always 1:00?-- from [REDACTED] St., Herndon, VA to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. The first address appears to be a bar, but Google also lists at that address "God Bless America, religious institution". There are no reviews for the latter.

Uber
Your Wednesday afternoon trip with Uber
At 4:51 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, 2.66 miles to [REDACTED] Rd., Sterling, VA. You rode with GEORGE, whose name is really listed in all caps, and has a big smile in his photo, so I imagine he was a delightful companion for your 9 minute, 49 second trip. Unfortunately, you did not tip (and haven't tipped any of your drivers thus far), and this makes me really disappointed in you.



2/15/18


Uber
Your Thursday afternoon trip with Uber
At 4:23 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., Miami, FL, to [REDACTED] FL-90, Miami, FL. The trip as only 5.85 miles, but took 28 minutes and 16 seconds, so I imagine you hit some rush hour traffic.



2/15/18
Uber
Your Thursday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 7:55 p.m. from [REDACTED] St., Miami, FL, to [REDACTED] Ct., Miami, FL. The trip was 8.31 miles and took 19 minutes and 17 seconds. You rode with Adam.



2/16/18


Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
You took a very short (1/2 mile) Uber ride from [REDACTED] St., Miami, FL, to [REDACTED] Ave., Miami FL. You got in the car at 11:02 p.m., and back out at 11:04 p.m.



2/17/18


Uber
Receipt for canceled trip on Saturday afternoon
You requested an Uber at 12:19 p.m. and cancelled the request at 12:24 p.m. Your pick up location was to be [REDACTED] Ave., Miami, FL.



2/17/18
Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber from [REDACTED] Rd, Miami, FL, at 5:09 p.m., and travelled to [REDACTED] Ave., Miami, FL, arriving at 5:27 p.m. You rode with Diana. You still aren't tipping, why not? Have you never worked in the service industry, or even known someone who has? I am becoming concerned about your value system.



3/6/18


Uber
Your Tuesday afternoon trip with Uber
At 4:34 p.m., You were picked up on [REDACTED] Ave NW, in Georgetown, Washington, DC. Were you shopping? Grabbing a bite to eat? At work? You took the Uber from there to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).



3/6/18
Uber
Your Tuesday evening trip with Uber
At 10:34 p.m., you took an Uber from the Tampa International Airport, arriving at [REDACTED] Hwy., Tampa, FL at 10:48 p.m. This appears to have been a hotel, but it's not open anymore.



3/7/18


Uber
Your Wednesday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 8:49 p.m. from [REDACTED] Street, Tampa, FL, which is a hotel, back to your hotel at [REDACTED] Hwy., Tampa, FL. it was 9 minutes and 12 second trip and you rode with Yandy.



3/8/18


Uber
Your Wednesday morning trip with Uber
You took an Uber from your hotel at [REDACTED] Hwy., Tampa, FL, to [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL. There is only a Kwik Stop listed at this address, but there are several bars and breweries nearby. I find it strange that you left your hotel at 2:44 a.m. to come here when last call is at 3 a.m. in Tampa. You were dropped off at 2:51 a.m., so perhaps you made it just in time.



3/8/18

Uber
Your Thursday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 6:28 p.m. from [REDACTED] St., Tampa, FL, to [REDACTED] St. Petersburg, FL, a 23.36 mile trip that took 30 minutes and 17 seconds. Later, at 8:45 p.m., you were picked up from an address less than a mile away and taken back to your hotel at [REDACTED] Hwy.,Tampa, FL. The trip back was 21.72 miles and took 28 minutes and 26 seconds.



3/9/18


Uber
Your Friday morning trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 8:24 a.m. from your hotel at [REDACTED] Hwy., Tampa, FL, 5.34 miles to [REDACTED] Pkwy., Tampa, FL, which is to say the Tampa International Airport. The trip took 12 minutes and 12 seconds. But you were not flying out, because at 8:56 a.m., you took another Uber from the airport to [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL, arriving at 9:14 a.m. Did you pick someone up at the airport? Or something? You took a third Uber that morning, leaving the same address on [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL, and travelling 8.52 miles to [REDACTED] St., Tampa, FL. The latter address appears to be a private residence, but in the Google Street View image there is clearly a yard sign stating "NO PARKING FOR ANGRY CHAIR BREWING. Please respect our neighbors." I believe you may have been visiting this brewery, as you were dropped off close to this spot at 2:51 a.m. one day prior. Did you leave something there, or did you just love it so much you wanted to return? The thing is, on Fridays they don't open until noon, and you arrived at 10:31 a.m. I have to assume you left your credit card or ID behind and needed to retrieve it, perhaps calling ahead to ensure someone was there to let you in. Were you supposed to fly out earlier that morning, when you realized you didn't have it, and had to go back and get a different flight home?



3/9/18
Uber
Receipt for cancelled trip Friday evening
You requested a pickup at 9:14 p.m. from the Ronald Reagan Washington Airport (DCA). You cancelled your request at 9:20 p.m.



3/9/18
Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber from Ronald Reagan Washington Airport (DCA) at 9:33 p.m., and travelled 4.92 miles to [REDACTED] Ave. NW, Washington, DC, which is the same Georgetown address where you left for the airport on 3/6/18. One would have to assume you spent the night, perhaps this is the address of your lover?



3/17/18


Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber from [REDACTED] Rd., Baltimore, MD (near a brewery), at 11:11 p.m. (some people would say this is lucky), 14.51 miles to [REDACTED] Cir., Cockeysville, MD. The trip took 21 minutes and 19 seconds and cost $36.61.



3/23/18


Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA to [REDACTED] St. NE, Leesburg, VA, a 10.78 mile trip that took 16 minutes and five seconds. Your driver was Wilfred, whose eyes are closed in his profile picture.



3/25/18


Uber
Your Saturday morning trip with Uber
You took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., Ashburn, VA to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. It was a 4.1 mile trip that took 7 minutes and 29 seconds.

Uber
Rider Recap: your recent rides with Uber
Uber would like to let you know that you joined 166 days ago, took 12 trips in March, and have 4.8 rider rating, which I find impressive considering you don't tip. You must be very polite.



4/16/18


Uber
Your Monday morning trip with Uber
I think this is your longest, most expensive Uber ride to date. You took an Uber at 7:09 a.m. from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, to the Ronald Reagan Washington Airport (DCA). It took 58 minutes and 57 seconds and cost $119.28. I wonder if you were nervous about the traffic and missing your flight, and whether you chatted with your driver, Kirik. Where did you fly to?



4/18/18


Uber
Your Wednesday evening trip with Uber
Your next Uber is your ride home from the airport. You were picked up at 8:10 p.m. and arrived at [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA at 8:50 p.m. Were you tired? Did you unpack immediately, or sit down on the couch, order food, and leave it to tomorrow?



5/19/18


Uber
Your Saturday afternoon trip with Uber
At 4:23 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Rd., Hilton Head Island, SC to [REDACTED] St. Savannah, GA, travelling 37.98 miles in one hour, two minutes, and 53 seconds. You split the bill three ways with someone name Tayler and someone named Victoria. Most interestingly, this is the exact same pick up time as your February 15th, 2018 Uber trip in Miami, Florida. The perfect pick up time to get to the bar for a happy hour drink? I'm not sure what you were visiting at this drop-off location, but it seems to be a bustling area, so it could've been any number of hotels, bars, restaurants, or shops.



5/20/18


Uber
Your Saturday morning trip with Uber
It says Saturday morning, but it's really either Saturday night or Sunday morning, depending on your point of view. At 12:37 a.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., Savannah, GA, to [REDACTED] Rd., Hilton Head Island, SC. This time, the 35.13 mile trip back was paid for by you alone. Were you alone? Or were you treating your pals Tayler and Victoria after a night out on the town?



6/1/18


Uber
Rachel's recent rides with Uber
It's weird, for me, that this time the subject line isn't "your" recent rides with Uber, but "Rachel's". I am Rachel, of course. We are Rachel. You joined 233 days ago and took one trip in May (according to Uber). I, of course, know you actually took two trips. Your rider rating has decreased somewhat to 4.76 stars, and I can only imagine this has something to do with the two 35 mile trips you took in May with nary a tip in sight. I'm honestly embarrassed that you're treating workers this way and using our name.



6/7/18


Uber
Your Thursday morning trip with Uber
You took an Uber, at 4:16 a.m., from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, to Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport (DCA). The trip was 28.77 miles and took 41 minutes and 53 seconds. You rode with Jose, who is wearing a suit and tie in his photo. Did he give you world class service? For which, again, you did not tip? Your trip cost was $53.40, so an appropriate tip would've been $10.68.



6/7/18
Uber
Your Thursday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 10:18 p.m. from [REDACTED] Blvd., St. Louis, MO (which appears to be an event space, and primarily a wedding venue) to [REDACTED] St., St. Louis, MO, which is a residential block but very close to a pub, a brewery, and a bar. Did you attend a wedding and then head to an afterparty, sanctioned or spontaneous? You rode these 5.45 miles with Gregory.



6/7/18
Uber
Thanks for tipping! We've updated your Thursday evening trip receipt.
20 minutes after the trip receipt email is this one, detailing your $5 tip to Gregory. For a ride that cost $13.14, this is a generous 38% tip, particularly from someone who has never before tipped on an Uber. What did Gregory say to you? Were you filled with love and champagne from the wedding, and feeling generous? I once took an Uber, or a Lyft, I'm not sure, with a man who told me a story about when he had a heart attack a few months prior and drove himself to the ER because he could not afford an ambulance. He had four or five children at home. He told me this story with a glimmer of American pride-- the kind that says, "I don't need help from anybody." I don't remember how much I tipped him. Surely not enough.



6/8/18


Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
At 8:05 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Rd., St. Louis, MO to [REDACTED] St., St. Louis, MO. these addresses are opaque to me. The trip was 4.38 miles and took 14 minutes and 56 seconds.



6/9/18


Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
At 7:22 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., St. Louis, MO to [REDACTED] St., St. Louis, MO, a 4.98 mile trip that cost $13.63.



6/9/18
Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
At 7:57 p.m., you departed [REDACTED] St., St. Louis, MO and travelled to [REDACTED] St., St. Louis, MO, an 18 minute and 5 second trip. Your driver was Roy.



6/11/18


Uber
Your Monday morning trip with Uber
At 8:27p.m., you got in an Uber at [REDACTED] St. NW, Washington, DC and travelled 27.04 miles to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. What did it feel like to get home after your long weekend? Did you have that dopamine-depleted, bittersweet feeling where you’re ready to rest, but already missing everyone so much? Where you want to cry, but you don’t know if it’s because you’re happy or sad?



7/21/18


Uber
Your Saturday afternoon trip with Uber
At 2:50 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Hwy., Ocean City, MD, to [REDACTED] St., Ocean City, MD, a 1.78 mile trip. You rode with Andrea for 10 minutes and 28 seconds and much of this time was over a bridge. Does it make you nervous or excited to go across a long bridge? I always imagine the bridge will collapse while I'm on it, and I wonder how cold the water is, how cloudy, whether or not I will be able to roll down a window in time to swim out of it. Or maybe the car will glide straight on through the air, as if it never needed the bridge to begin with, only the suggestion of which way to go, and soon will touch back down on the road at the other bank as if nothing had happened, ragged chunks of concrete and rebar crashing into the water behind.



7/23/18


Patrick
Fwd: Summer practice schedule
Patrick has forwarded the [REDACTED] County Soccer summer practice schedule. This is not the same Patrick with whom you worked on a paper regarding U.S. sanctions on North Korea in 2017, unless he has changed his last name. Anyway, in this message, Caroline has reminded everyone that they have a lot of Bermuda fields down for maintenance following the damaging winter/spring season and that as those fields come back online they will update the August field assignments.



8/4/18


Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
At 10:56 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Blvd., Arlington, VA to [REDACTED] St. NW, Washington, DC. The latter address appears to be either the Washington Monument or the National Museum of African American History and Culture, both of which are interesting choices to visit at 11 p.m.



8/5/18


Uber
Your Sunday morning trip with Uber
You appear to have spent the evening in the district, now taking an Uber from [REDACTED] Ave. NW, Washington, DC at 2:42 a.m. back to the address you departed around 11 p.m. at [REDACTED] Blvd., Arlington, VA. What did you do from 11-2:30, was it fun? What song came on that made you go, "Oh-- this is my SONG!"?

Happy Birthday from Express MiE!
EXPRESS MiE writes, "Dear Rachel, Happy birthday to you, from MiE! The world is a better place because you were born - thanks for being your awesome self and sharing a piece of you with us. Here's to another year of your dreams and wishes coming true. We wish you all the best, today and every day! Hope to see you again soon!" This whole message could've just as easily come from me, to you, except that I didn't know it was your birthday until I got it. But I would like to thank you for sharing a piece of you with me.



9/15/18


Uber
Your Saturday morning trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 11:12 a.m. from, I think, your house or your lover's, at [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA (you are here a lot) and traveled 6.44 miles to [REDACTED] St., Herndon, VA. Your driver was Yvette, whose "Top Driver Compliment" is "Great Conversation". Did she ask how your day was going so far? How was it going, and did you answer her honestly?



9/15/18
Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
You departed [REDACTED] Ln., Herndon, VA (a short distance from where you were dropped off) and went back home to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, arriving at 5:30 p.m., probably ready to get into cozy clothes and think about what to make for dinner.



9/15/18
Uber
That was delicious
You elected not to cook, and instead ordered in some burgers from Five Guys. You got a Little Cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato, and a Bacon Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, jalapeno peppers, and green peppers; and a side of Little Fries that I imagine you and your lover shared courteously. A very heterosexual order, for which you paid $23.55, no tip (I'm hoping you tipped cash). I'm married to a man, but I'm not heterosexual, and I become self-conscious when he orders a beer but I get wine, or he orders a burger and I get a salad. I want to explain, no, wait, it's not what it looks like. But then, of course, here I am assuming you got the Little Burger and he got the Bacon Cheeseburger, which makes me the heteronormative one.



9/22/18


Uber
Receipt for canceled trip on Saturday evening
You were charged $5.00 for requesting a car at 6:19 p.m. and cancelling it at 6:27 p.m. Was the driver too far away? It looks like you were requesting from your home in the suburbs so I'm sure that happens sometimes.



9/22/18
Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
You were able to get picked up a short time later from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA and travelled 9.97 miles to [REDACTED] Sq. SE, Leesburg, VA, arriving at 6:49 p.m. It looks like you were dropped off at the corner within a planned community, so I imagine you were visiting a friend's house, maybe for a dinner party?



9/22/18
Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
The dinner party has ended, a healthy 3.5 hour affair, so you took an Uber at 10:32 p.m. from [REDACTED] Sq. SE, Leesburg, VA back home to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA, a 9.93 mile trip that took 16 minutes and cost $19.78.



9/27/18


Uber
Rachel, your September Rider Recap is here
Uber would like to let you know that you took 4 trips in September, and have a 4.76 star rating, which is the same as it was in May, so you have neither improved or declined.

Jennifer
FW: Medicaid renewal- [REDACTED]
Jennifer has reached out to let you know Brandi is no longer with the firm, but that she can assist you in renewing Medicaid for your mom, and details the documents she will need and when she will need them by. Of greater interest to me is the copied text below her message, which is an email you sent to Brandi on November 5th, letting her know you are ready to proceed. I can't see what email address you used to write Brandi, but I can see that you spell our name differently. Seeing words that you have written, not words written to or about you, is a new proof for me that you are out there. That you are not me. That you are not a passive recipient of email, but also an active sender of email. You create your own self via your actions. Do you consider yourself an existentialist?



11/20/18


Uber
Your Tuesday morning trip with Uber
It's 4:57 a.m. You're at your house, or your lover's house where you stay often, at [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. you take an Uber 9.67 miles to [REDACTED] Cir., Sterling, VA, another address you've visited frequently. What happened? A fight, driving you away from someone, or the opposite, a sudden need to be together?



11/20/18
Uber
Your Tuesday afternoon trip with Uber
It appears your early morning Uber trip was to meet up with a travel companion, because now, at 2 p.m., you're in New York. At 2:07 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., New York, NY-- this is about two blocks from my first full-time job at a nearby non-profit, right by the subway stop I used to get off at everyday-- and travelled to the John F. Kennedy International Airport. On your trip, you passed within 200 feet of the front door of my first apartment post-college. If we folded time in half, like a piece of paper, I was laying in my twin bed in my squalid apartment, and heard your Uber fly by on the BQE heading East; a brief and shrouded sound interwoven with the noise of many other vehicles, people walking by, my roommate washing dishes, my dog panting, my other roommate playing a video game. I would never be able to pick it out, or know it was special, but I would hear it all the same. We were so close.



11/20/18
Uber
Your Tuesday evening trip with Uber
At 6:29 p.m., you're departing the address where you arrived at 5 a.m. ([REDACTED] Cir., Sterling, VA) and returning home to [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA. It's been 14 hours of feverish movement, so perhaps you decompress with a shower and then collapse into bed.



12/7/18


Rachel
Incorrect Tickets Sent to This Email
This is very interesting subject line capitalization-- like a news headline. Appropriate enough for me as this is big news, a banner day. You have reached out to me directly. You explain that your fiance (though a typo made it "finance") purchased tickets for an event and accidentally emailed them to me instead of you, and could I please forward them. I did receive them. I forwarded the tickets and wrote back, "Rachel, Yes, I got them! Best, R". You said, "Thank you so much!!" and wished me a great day. This is the only time we have ever communicated directly. A few short words surrounded by an infinite silence.



12/7/18


Eventbrite
Your Tickets for Lumberjack Day
The tickets your fiance ordered were for a craft beer event in Miami Beach, Florida, which is not surprising since you seem to go to breweries and Miami frequently.



12/8/18


Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber from [REDACTED] Ct., Potomac Falls, VA at 6:02 p.m. to [REDACTED] Sq. SE, Leesburg, VA. Another dinner party?



1/24/19


Uber
Your Thursday evening trip with Uber
You took an Uber at 8:03 p.m. from [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL, just 1.14 miles to [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL. The first address is in between a brewery and a tavern, and the second is a place you've visited before, a brewery you went to at 3 a.m. once, and then maybe left your ID or credit card and had to go back the next morning. I guess you really liked this place. If I ever go to Tampa, Florida, I will go there, too.



1/28/19


Paperless Post
Mayra [REDACTED] and Nathan [REDACTED] Wedding
I got an invite to your friends' wedding. It's in Durham, NC, where I go often to visit family. I've even been to the venue where the wedding takes place for an electronic music festival and a zine festival. I imagine what would happen if I went. The couple looks kind in their photo, they're about my age, surely we have something in common. It's possible that we already have mutual friends, though I couldn't locate any. If I did show up, I wouldn't even have to lie about my name. Maybe I would simply be absorbed into a new life.



3/7/19


Uber
Your Thursday afternoon trip with Uber
At 4:48 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL 8.74 miles to [REDACTED] Rd., Tampa, FL. So, from a bar to a hotel. This hotel has only one rating on google, and it is a one star review about how dirty the room was. I hope you had a better experience.



3/7/19
Uber
Your Thursday afternoon trip with Uber
This email is the exact same Uber trip as the previous email, but sent 24 minutes after the first one. This may have been a simple technical error on the part of Uber, or maybe you wanted to see this receipt because of the $5.47 surge pricing charge, and requested it be sent not realizing that the email address associated with your account is, in fact, mine. Or maybe there was a momentary glitch in space-time, and for 24 minutes our lives repeated the previous 24 minutes, or spiraled off to create a new, alternate dimension in which we now live. If so, we would probably never be able to prove it. Everything looks the same.



4/1/19


Uber
Let's recap your March and check out what's ahead
Uber would like to let you know your rider rating is 4.75 stars, and you took one economy ride in March. Once again, they are mistaken, because I know that you took two rides in March. They just happened to be on the same afternoon.



4/7/19


Stephen
Fwd: Low Lunch Account Balance
Stephen has forwarded an email from your son's school, notifying his parents that his lunch account balance is now at $0.25 as of 3/28/19. I suppose Stephen is hoping you will take care of this problem.

HBP: Wedding Package
Rene has written to Scott and Cindi to let them know you have decided on final art to be digitally printed and updated to a quantity of 65. Attached to the message are the PDF proofs for your wedding invitations. I see that you'll be married on July 6th, at a farm in Northern Virginia. Congratulations!

Uber
Your Sunday morning order with Uber eats
You ordered a bunch of biscuits from Callie's Hot Little Biscuit in Charleston, SC at 11 a.m. Since you're getting married in a few weeks, I wonder if you were there for a bachelorette party. My bachelorette party was also in South Carolina, but at Myrtle Beach. You ordered three Carolina Honey biscuits, two Black Pepper Bacon biscuits, two Buttermilk biscuits, two Cheese and Chive biscuits, two Cinnamon biscuits, two Shortcake biscuits, and two Blueberry biscuits.

Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
At 7:51 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., Greely, CO to [REDACTED] St., Greely, CO, a 4.18 mile trip. Your driver was Yonathan who is known for Excellent Service. I bet you have family in Colorado.



6/21/19

Uber
Thanks for tipping! We've updated your Friday evening trip receipt
Your third tip. This time, you tipped Yonathan $5.00, which is about a 45% tip based on the fare and surcharges. What did the 12 minute ride inspire in you, how excellent WAS the Service?



7/7/19


Uber
Your Sunday morning trip with Uber
You got married yesterday, July 6th. Then, 14 miles from the wedding venue, you took an Uber at 2:05 a.m. from [REDACTED] St., Ashburn, VA to [REDACTED] Plz., Ashburn, VA. The first address is near a few bars, so it seems like maybe that was the afterparty, and the second address is a hotel, where you likely spent your wedding night with your now husband.

Express MiE
Happy Birthday from Express MiE!
It's your birthday again. Years ago, visiting the town where I grew up, I went bra shopping at a small local store. I bought two bras. They called me and left a happy birthday voicemail every single year on my birthday until this last year. I think they might've gone out of business. The birthday wish sounded so sincere, and was so reliably received, that I really came to anticipate it every year. Even though I had only gone there one time, and I knew they didn't remember me, a certain feeling of care and attention was successfully conveyed. What does it mean to decide to love to someone you don't even know? Can you mean it? Can it be felt?



9/8/19


Uber
Your Sunday morning trip with Uber
You took an Uber from [REDACTED] Ave., Miami, Florida, at 10:25 a.m. and travelled 33.23 miles, a 39 minute trip, to arrive at [REDACTED] St., Miami Gardens, FL. The latter is not even a complete address, but as it is a short street, and all residential, I must assume you were visiting someone's home. But I've never seen you come here before, and taking an Uber 33 miles seems nuts. Additionally, there is no Uber trip back to Miami, nor any other Uber receipts for this trip to Miami. It sometimes feels like the more I know, the less I know.



10/13/19


Uber
Your Sunday evening order with Uber Eats
You ordered a 12 piece Chicken Meal, Spicy, with 6 Biscuits, a Large Signature Side of Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy and a Large Signature Side of Cajun Fries for a total of $40.39.



10/13/19
Uber
Thanks for tipping! We've updated your Sunday evening order receipt
You tipped on you Popeye's order: $4.78, or approximately 11.8% of your total. I wonder if you're tipping on the total before the Uber surcharges, and I wonder who told you that 12-15% was an appropriate amount. Why not just round up to $5?



10/13/19

My order had missing or incorrect food
Neliza writes, "Hi Rachel, We’re sorry to hear that you received an incomplete order from Popeyes. I completely understand the importance of receiving a complete order. Glad to help. I've gone ahead and processed a refund of $7.98 for the 6 Biscuits, including tax and service fees. Your refund will process in 3-5 business days. Rest assured that this will be appropriately documented for internal review. The Uber Eats app is designed to empower customers. By rating the restaurant and your delivery partner, you are able to voice out any opportunities for improvement. Your time and effort sharing your thoughts with us are essential. We are hoping that your next Uber Eats experience will be a positive one."

Your Wednesday evening trip with Uber
At 8:51 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., Miami, FL, back to (reacted) Ave., Miami, FL. I assume you went for a late dinner or drinks, as you appear to have visited the Little Havana of Miami. That sounds fun. I've never been to Miami.

At 7:07 p.m. (just one minute earlier than yesterday), you took an Uber from the same address as last night at [REDACTED] Ave., Miami, FL, down to Little Havana, [REDACTED], St., Miami, FL. You must've really liked whatever you did last night to do it again at the same time on this night.

This latter address is about a mile away from where you usually get dropped off and picked up, so either your driver made a mistake in the app, or you needed to stop by somewhere on the way home. A nightcap?

Your Friday evening trip with Uber
At 5:20 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] Hwy., Tampa, FL (the same hotel where you stayed previously), to [REDACTED] Ave., Tampa, FL, which is the brewery you like so much. I've spent a lot of time over these years wondering if you were a beer and wine rep, visiting breweries and bars all over the east coast to establish relationships and stock new beverages. Now I think it's just habitual and recreational. Afterall, most of us just do the same thing over and over.



12/20/19
Uber
Your Friday evening trip with Uber
Your pick up address for your 6:35 p.m. Uber reads only: "Tampa, FL". No street address. I suppose you were standing in the exact center of Tampa, FL, exactly 28 hours and 40 minutes before the 2019 Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. If you had stayed in that spot for 28 hours and 40 minutes, you could have been centered in both celestial time and the city of Tampa. Would that bring a feeling of wholeness? We are each, at many times in our lives, at the center of something unseen. We may be halfway between our birth and death, or other less seminal markers, but we can only perceive this in retrospect. I wonder what else you were at the center of in this moment. From there, you travelled 3.25 miles to [REDACTED] St., Tampa, FL.

Uber
You Friday afternoon trip with Uber
At 12:12 p.m., you took an Uber from [REDACTED] St., Miami, FL, to Dodge Island. I say this because that's what I see on the map, but your drop-off address is listed only as "Miami, FL". Why? It was a 4.36 mile, 29 minute trip. According to Wikipedia, Dodge Island is an artificial island and the site of the Port of Miami. Perhaps you were going on a cruise.

Your Monday morning trip with Uber
I really think you went on a weekend cruise. At 8:43 am, you took an Uber from "Miami, FL" (no address, and shockingly, no map either) back to [REDACTED] St., Miami FL, a 5.74 mile, 11 minute trip. I enjoy the contradiction between this trip and the last-- this trip is a little longer in mileage and yet half the length in time as your trip to the port.

Your Monday afternoon trip with Uber
At 3:42 p.m., you travelled from your new home at [REDACTED] Ave., Miami, FL, back to your old haunt at [REDACTED] St., Miami, FL. Sometimes when you visit Little Havana, the address is slightly different, like they're dropping you off down the block, but it's definitely the same area. I'll have to examine more closely what you are visiting there. There are a number of barber shops, art galleries, bars, and restaurants nearby.

I think I may have zeroed in on two possibilities based on the most consistent pick up address from this neighborhood.

Your Sunday evening trip with Uber
Is Uber purposefully becoming more opaque? On this day, your pickup address is listed as "Florida". That's it. But you were picked up at 10:19 p.m., and driven 25.66 miles back to your home at [REDACTED] Ave., Miami, FL. My best guess is somewhere in Fort Lauderdale, but of course, I don't know where, and I don't know why. Maybe the Fort Lauderdale airport? That seems to be the right mileage.

Your Friday evening trip with Uber
Now you've been to New York more recently than me, which makes me sentimental. In this 1.86 mile trip, you passed within a couple hundred yards of the Red Hook restaurant where I used to work brunch and catering gigs, and the art space where I used to figure model because I was too shy to make my own art, but not too shy to take off my clothes in front of strangers. You were going from a brewery at [REDACTED] Ave., Brooklyn, NY, back to a hotel at [REDACTED] Ave., Brooklyn, NY. Are you doing what you love?

But why, when visiting New York, home of some of the world's best restaurants with every possible type of food, are you ordering in from a fast food chain, again? I know you love Popeyes, and maybe you need comfort and familiarity right now. This time, you got 1 Classic Chicken Sandwich Combo with Regular Cajun Fries, a 22 oz Diet Coke; 1 Classic Chicken Sandwich Combo with Regular Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy, a 22 oz Sprite, and added 6 Extra Biscuits.

You were picked up at 1:38 p.m. and arrived at the airport at 2:11 p.m. At the same moment, I was driving south from Baltimore where my partner and I had performed the night before. On this day, we went to brunch with my friend who set up the show, and I tried huitlacoche tacos for the first time. We hoped to return to Baltimore soon and had plans for more shows because at this point in March 2020, we still thought that we knew more or less what our futures held for the rest of the year. Did you know anything I didn't?

This was a really hard day for me. My partner and I made hurried grocery trips with visions of mass death looming. We were so scared. I remember many tiny details, benign in content but now coded as trauma in my brain. Leaving the grocery store, we both gripped the handle of the shopping cart, knuckles white, throats tight. Were you scared when you ordered 6 Biscuits, 1 Classic Chicken Sandwich Combo, No Mayo, with a Regular Signature Side of Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy, a 22oz CANE SWEEEET ICED TEA™; 1 Classic Chicken Sandwich Combo, No Mayo, No Pickles, with a Regular Signature Side of Cajun Fries, and a 22 oz Mountain Dew®? Or did you feel in control, the food that comforts you on the way to your house, maybe the promise of some time out of the office, probably with a craft beer in your hand?

Your first Uber trip since March 15th, 2020. Good for you for limiting exposure for that time, though I don't necessarily feel it was safe again in late December. The holidays have so much pressure around them, though. On this trip, you travelled from [REDACTED] Ct., Sterling, VA to [REDACTED] Ave., Reston, VA, 8.87 miles away. The latter appears to be a metro station.

Uber
Your Saturday evening trip with Uber
On Saturday, February 13th 2021 at 6:28 p.m., I was at home, thinking about this project, and wondering how bad the roads would be with the impending winter storm. I checked my email and saw you'd taken an Uber, but when I read the details, my heart began to race. You were a mere 2 miles away from me, in a neighborhood I knew well, and took an Uber to [REDACTED], a renowned local beer bar. I've been pretty cautious with the pandemic; I have not been to an indoor bar or restaurant since March 2020. Additionally, with the ice storm, I wasn't planning on driving anywhere that weekend. But to know you were in town, a few miles away, was jarring. I wondered: if there weren't a pandemic and an ice storm, would I go to you? What would I say? I imagine myself taking one of the following approaches: 

1) Going to the bar and seeing if I can recognize you. If so, I could quietly observe you, but not by hyperfocusing. The opposite, actually, reading you as a negative of an image, a blind spot in the center of my vision, where everything around us that is not-us defines the shapes of what we are. Would you feel the connection as a likeness across the room that draws you toward it, like two droplets of oil in water? Would we feel multiplied, refracted, like a kaleidoscope? Is it like the feeling where, as a child, I would stand in my bathroom with a mirror in front of me and one behind, and watch my infinite selves wave their hand as I did, turn their heads as I did, move in synchronicity but not as one, all of them me but none of them me?

2) I find you and stand near you, talking to my companion. I make sure they call me by name, so that you can hear, and maybe say, "hey, I'm a Rachel, too!" We strike up a conversation, friendly because we have something in common and beer in our hands. When we realize we have the same last name as well, disbelief (for you) melts into shock and, maybe, joy. Everything shatters and reforms into a covalent bond; we share something between us that is definitive and irrevocable. We cannot be broken.

I scan my inbox, waiting for another message from Uber so that I know you've left the bar. I wonder if you'll go to another, or to where you're staying, or somewhere I can't predict at all. I wait and watch. A second email never comes. I do nothing.
