So, looking for my review of Guns, Germs & Steel to provide a little inspiration for the one pager I have due today, I ran across a little dating temper tantrum from may of 2002. Apparently I’d been seeing this guy on an occasional basis for 3 weeks and he turned me down with a “We never were dating” line (though apparently we got naked at some point). What’s so embarrassing to me is that even after reading the post, complete with a reasonable description of what the gentleman looked like, length of time dating, and his name, I still have absolutely zero memory of him. Big fat blank. Weird.
then he wasn’t worth remembering. no loss.
Unrelated, but…
I think you sat down next to me at the Walmart movie at the Unitarian church Friday a week ago. At least, it was somebody that looks just like your userpic.
I didn’t get enough nerve to say Hi, and besides “you look just like your online picture” doesn’t make for a very good introductory line, especially when I had no idea if the person you were with knew anything about LiveJournal or not. The public online life can seem quite a creepy construct to those not into blogging (and occasionally even to those who are.)
That is quite probable. I sat close to the back on the right side of the center pew, as I recall. I spent alot of the time talking with Matt.
I’ve introduced myself several times with the “hey, I know you from online” line. It usually doesn’t go very far, so no harm no foul, but next time, feel free to introduce yourself.
Hey, I remember that temper tantrum!
I don’t suppose you could give me any hints to help clarify the identity of the dude in question. =)
Nope, sorry, I just remember you being really irritated at being brushed off.
