And once again the past becomes this very moment
I had a strange thing happen to me this morning. I was online looking for an article for economic prosperity when I recieved an IM from someone who I recognized their last name on their IM screen name. As it turns out, Ryan (not upchuck)IMed. I was surpirsed because I met this guy after I graduated highschool. I worked with his mom at Fannie May. I remember when I first met him, he came into Fannie May to help his mom do some lifting. He said hi to me but we didn't really talk. Then when he left, he called his mom (my boss), and told her to give me his number. I remember his mom being so excited that he wanted me to have his number, that she made me call him right then and there at work. I remmber we talked on the phone (outside of work)a few times and IMed each other.
Some how things just didn't work out between us and I lost contact with him and his mom. Ryan was on my guy list that I had some feelings for back in the day. It's just werid that after 3 years when I first met him, that he kept IMing me asking who I was and then when I mentioned working with his mom, he was saying things like "you should call her, here is her phone number, it's our house phone."
I guess Ryan is the guy of this year, who I used to know, that liked me, that some how got in contact with me again. That actually happened to me last year, around this time of year. I remmber I was at COD, it was 4pm and I was in the hallway by the art display case. I was walking in the hall when I saw a guy coming toward me. I recognized the guy. When I figured it out, that it was Brian L my mouth almost dropped.
I knew Brian back in high school. During my senior year we would always see each other in the hallway. Brian would always say "what's up" to me and told me that I should call him. I remember during graduation I was in the back of the gym, rehersal room with all my graduating class waiting for the ceremony to start. I remeber I was by myself looking a mirror when Brian came up to me. We were talking and for the first and only time we hugged each other. I was so happy during the ceremony because I got hug Brian. Anyway, during the summer of 2001 I called Brian and we made plans to meet each other but we never did.
Then in August of 2003 I saw Brian at Mcdonalds, in the halls of COD at the first AE show I did, and then one more time in the hallway at COD. It was weird because a few years had past since we last saw each other, yet it felt like I was back in time. We were in a hallway, at school, he said what's up and was like call me. I never did though. I thought maybe I would see him in the halls again but I never did. If there was one thing that I wish I could of told Brian was that I liked him in high school and even if he didn't like me back then I would of liked to be his friend.
My point in all this flash back memory stuff is I guess sometimes your past comes back at you. Not in a bad way, but it a creepy way. When i was talking to Ryan I wanted to tell him everything that I've done since he last saw me. I wanted to tell him that I booked local shows at COD, that I want to be an event planner/event manager/booking agent. I wanted to tell him that I went to Europe, that I fell in love with a really great guy that I am still very much together with, and that I got out of Naperville, Illinois. I wanted to tell him that I am doing good and that I'm very happy and feel very successful. Actually, thinking about it I wish I could tell a few friends from high school, including Brian those words.
I wonder if I'll run into anyone else from my high school past.
