It's deja vu all over again...
Have you ever had a case of deja vu that fucked with you for longer than it probably should? I had that happen tonight. I was at a christmas party, and among the dozens of people there was this girl named Carissa. Just one of dozens of people I met and talked to for 30 seconds about how cold it is out, how the Sabres are doing, what they are doing for christmas, ect. The standard stuff you discuss when you and the person know damn well you may never speak to one another again, but, you know, civility and all.
But anyway, this Carissa looks EXACTLY like this girl I used to work with/had a major crush on/had a fling with back about 6 or 7 years ago. I mean almost dead on- like 85 percent the same. This girl (Melissa) was notable in that our relationship lasted a matter of weeks, but was fairly intense while it lasted. It was also one of the few times something ever came of a crush I had- most of my crushes result in me wanting to bash my head into a wall, and little else. The thing is though, I hadn't thought about Melissa in YEARS. I think she moved not long after the aforementioned fling and we never stayed in touch for various reasons.
It just kind of hit me hard that someone I liked and thought about so much at one time now had nearly escaped my memory entirely. It's not this specific case or these specific people really, it's just the idea that such strong feelings can fade to such dim memories over time. I dunno, it is just kind of messing with me.
