Maybe its just bad luck or maybe its an omen
So to make this a trend of posting more oft I would like to share a story. I was sitting today in Neptune Central having some soup to hold me over until the Holiday Dinner tonight. Eating in central is something I've started doing more recently but I wouldn't say its strange. Well here are where things get interesting. Across the way from me another student sat down and began to eat their dinner. They got a phone call, presumably from their mother. They began talking quite loudly and I didn't have to try hard to overhear their conversation. As they began to talk they started talking about how they were at a party with some friends and how they met another student. They mentioned a bunch of names I knew and I thought to myself oh thats weird, I know all of them. As a side note I thought maybe someone else I knew was there too but that would be too weird. As the student kept talking to their mother they revealed that most of the people there were drunk and that they were not. The also mentioned that since this was the instance they were offered to drive people home. I thought this weird since I had been talking to a friend the night before and they said they were trying to get drunk people a ride home. My thought before about someone else I knew being at this party became a little more likely and I got a little bit more worried. As I started listening more intently to the students conversation they mentioned that the other student gave them their number. At this point all I was listening for was the student to say the name of my friend. And as soon as their mouth opened and uttered my friends name I was gone.
It was like some awful kind of scene out of a romantic comedy. Where you're really interested in someone else (in the purest sense) but you haven't really had the chance to talk them yet and sort things. And you're not sure about what is going to happen but you know at least you're going to be friends and thats ok. But then you're sitting there listening to someone talk and it turns out the same person you wanted to talk to is the person they are talking about. Almost paradoxically I had to hear this conversation that made me want to put my foot through a window. Why did something like this have to happen to me? Am I that doomed? Is this just all a joke on me?
