A strange Facebook chat

I really only Facebook chat with a few people. Every month or so this Facebook "friend" initiates a chat that basically inquires into how we know each other; the truth is, I don't know why we are Facebook friends. Sometimes I respond, sometimes I don't; I did just now, though, because I couldn't resist being semi-snarky. This is the conversation:

'Alvin' :
01:01

hey how do i know u again

lol

lol

Lauren
01:01

why do you always ask me this?!

it;s kind of funny, bc no one else seems to care how they know their facebook friends, so i guess it's cool lol

i dont remember

we both go/went to C of C, that's as far as I know

01:02
'Alvin'

geeze

Lauren

01:04
'Alvin' está desconectado/a.


This interaction was weird! I don't think my question was a personal affront to this Alvin character, I think I was just interested in why the same conversation would happen in the early morning hours every so often. Was he sincerely confused about our connection? Did he really care? Was it his attempt to make conversation? I don't think I care too much that he "de-friended" me, but it was just odd, the whole thing, I guess.
