Man oh man, do I ever understand!

So, I swore I saw my psychiatrist on my way to church one morning in his vehicle.

So... I Canada411'ed him (it's basically a phone/address directory in Canada).

Apparently he lives on the street, just off the street from my church.

It was weird. We wound up talking about the fact he said he bikes to work (my university) often (actually today in session!). I asked him if it was very far (playing the "no, of course I would never ever Google him" *innocent*). He said no... I then told him that I thought I had seen him one day.

And he said of course, your church is in my neighbourhood (I have brought up the name of my church before)! AWKWARD! And yet awesome. He did say that he was in fact in the phone book and that it's not exactly difficult to find him if someone decided to look.

So, yeah he basically told me where he lives. So of course now the compulsion is to slightly go off track to church (or from church) to see his house. Which wouldn't be too much of a big deal since he does have an office that he sees clients at in his home...

(But I don't know if I have the nerve to do it)

I've got a compulsive habit to Google people on occasion. It's interesting the stuff you can find... I've found articles/studies done by previous therapists which are totally cool. I wouldn't STALK a person, but I am interested in people beyond the limited scope of what I know about someone in one situation.

(Then again, this psychiatrist tells me sometimes about aspects of his life that he finds relevant to me/my situation. Which I enjoy more than always talking about myself )
