Thursday, in the Thespis (student council) office in the theatre building,..
Fraser's there (<3) with a stranger who I found out was named Julien.
I had told Fraser a while ago to check out Portishead, and he hadn't yet done so, but by a stroke of luck, Julien had Portishead on his phone/iphone/whatevertheheck. I found Glorybox and played it. About a minute in, someone shows up outside the office, coming from the stairwell, and I hesitated smiling at him because it was Benoit! who I haven't talked to in two years, when he was my crew head when I was a first year. I leaned over as he walked out of sight and I muttered "hey, I know him" and he came back!
he knows Fraser, so he came back. He stood in the doorway and said "heyyy it's a Portishead party in here! should I go? was someone getting it on?" and I continued to look at him, then said louder "I DO know you." "yes you do!" "you don't remember who I am, though." "I remember you, but I don't remember your name." I said something like "you remember me when I was small and.. and.." "and you're what now?" "well, I guess I'm still small, but I've grown since first year"
Eventually he got my name and I reminded him what show it was that we worked on, and that I remembered seeing him climbing on beams high up in the air (lighting crew) and it all came back to him, including the rest of the girls I was with. He thought we all liked him and I corrected "no, it was David" (our real crew head) "we all liked David. well, they liked David, but I liked you, so.."
After laughing a bit, he finally got my name and he asked: "so Jenny, what have you done since I last saw you?" and I blah blah blah, and Fraser interrupted. so! Fraser <3, Julien dude I'd never met but seemed to find me cool, plus Benoit (<3!!), and PORTISHEAD'S GLORYBOX playing!!! Anyway, he was particularly interested in things I had to say, and I was very chuckle-y (not giggly. chuckle-y) and I left after saying "you're even better than I remember you being. ahh you've just gotten better." He asked me where I was going and he took "Japanese class" as a cover for a sexual encounter. He then played with the word "linguistics", to which I casually said, "Aw scrub out that filthy mind!"
I suddenly became super slick and amazing. Hmm!
