I ran into a guy from high school at Fry’s the other day.
He looked the same –exactly the same.
Neither one of us could remember the other’s name, while my boyfriend Mike stood awkwardly half inside the next aisle waiting for me to introduce him to the guy who’s name literally evaded me until almost three days later.
“I haven’t seen you since Tucson!” He exclaimed. The memories came flooding back; his long greasy hair, his tan skin, his odd smile and his best friend that was madly in love with me (who I coldly turned down in high school because I thought he was coo–coo bananas, and who’s heart I once again crushed when I moved back home from Tucson because I confirmed that he was in fact coo–coo bananas).
“Tucson, yeah that’s right.” We stood in silence for a bit and then I asked “What have you been up to lately?”
He didn’t hesitate, which made me think he had a great life story “Well we are in a recession, the economy you know?”
Holy Christmas balls batman, does he think I have been living under a rock…. should I have said “WE ARE?!” How sad is your life now that you have to tell people you have not seen in ten years that your life is made up of a recession. Maybe his car just got repoed or something because it is balls out crazy he said that and nothing more. He just walked away.
Is that why I have no money in my pockets… I thought I was just unlucky these past few years.
