Small world, eh?

hey guys, got a fun little story to tell you 
So uhm, I've met loads of people over the last 6-7 years online and I'm in a community with about 15 solid friends that go back 6 years or so. We're on ventrilo every day playing all kinds of games etc ,you get the picture.
This one guy, whom I've known since forever, but rarely spoken to, was talking to us, and he brought up that he had some family over from holland (he lives in the UK). I was like oh , where do they live? And he said "Roermond". At first I assumed he was trolling (we do that -- extensively) because that's practically where I live and everyone (but him apparently) knows that, but after a bit of careful approaching by me not to fall for a huge troll attempt, he mentioned what his last name was and that of his family. I asked him if the familiy members that came over from holland had the same name. He said "yea man that's my family".
At this point, I knew he wasn't trolling because I actually know that family in Roermond and there's no way he could possibly know that. Hell I didn't even know his last name until that point.
We exchanged some names, and after about 10 of them it became apparent that I actually knew them. We sort of had this WTF moment for a minute or so, and then we talked some more, he still didn't really believe me though so he went "..... it, let's go on facebook".
The very first picture he showed me, my jaw dropped. Literally. It dropped. It was a picture with my EX in it!!
We were like O_______________________O for about 5 minutes grinning and talking about the family and all the people in it, and he couldn't believe that I dated her.... It was serious too we dated for years and she practically lived here with me. We were a close couple and I have a ton of awesome memories during my time with her. We sort of grew apart and our interests just went seperate ways about 2 years ago though... I knew she had family in the UK too, but she only went there once and I couldn't come because I ended up in the hospital the night before with a horribly broken and f'd up arm :/
So. Pretty epic story right? Here comes the part that REALLY stirred things up... We talked for ages and suddenly he mentioned that he actually moved to the UK when he was young. I actually knew this but it didn't seem relevant because it was so long ago that he moved, I didn't know his last name either. We filled in the blanks and it appears he actually lived in my town when he was younger. One thing led to another, and you will not believe this... we were super good friends like 10-15 years ago... (I'm almost 21)
We basically talked for the entire night (I'm still up now and it's 3 PM lol :X) and seriously guys, this was one of the best and most joyful days I've ever had online, and this will be a memory that will remain close with me for the rest of my life....
^___^
He has my ex at his place, and he used to be my best Farking friend pretty much... wow I still can't believe it... I'm gonna book a flight for next month somewhere and we're gonna par-tay like I did a few years ago. Awesome point my life
