Thank god you see me the way you do, strange as you are to me
So a long time ago, I dont really remember when, Chris told me about some dude that took a picture every day and posted it on his blog or something like that. Tonight I remembered that for some reason... ("some reason" would be because i was wondering what I was doing a year ago today) so I googled "a year in pictures blog" This is what I found, I am not sure if this is what Chris was talking about, but it has kept me intrigued for the last 2 hours nonetheless http://www.ayearfollowingthebreakup.blogspot.com/
Its a photo diary or some sort documenting this guys life for a year after he broke things off with his gf/fiancee of 6 years. He also continues his blogging for another year (I'm only part way through that). Everyone loves to peak into other peoples lives, kind of a voyeuristic pleasure or something. This makes me want to take a picture every day and write about it. But would my life keep someone's attention for 2 solid hours?
Strangely enough, this guy is an improv actor (player?) in chicago and something about the way he writes or something... I dont know but those two things made me think of John almost the entire time I was reading it.
What would I have been doing a year ago today? I would have probably gone to student teaching at WBMS, come back and went to class (by this point our cohort was getting fairly close and class was probably rather enjoyable). After class I would have probably ended up at Chris's dorm. i would nap while he worked on homework or updated his website. We would have gone to dinner with his roommate at the dinning hall. I would have gone back to my room for a few hours and then probably would have packed up my things and spent the late evening hours watching the Daily Show at Chris's and then falling asleep in his bed while he was still up working on homework or talking to Paul. I think that by this point our relationship was near its breaking point, but i do think that we may have gone backpacking together over fall break? I do remember very vividly getting angry at him for something following that trip and him telling me "now i just took all this time going backpacking with you which you were allll excited about and now you're getting mad at me?" This sentence brought on some revelations.
Other moments of revelation:
~ Valentines day, Red Lobster: Eating in bar area, TV is on. ESPN is talking about some NASCAR scandal. All concersation from that point on is about said scandal. Or there is no conversation, only gaping at the television
~ Day after my birthday: I ask if i can have a package of Ramen. Chris responds, "Why do you keep eating all of my food?"
Of course, I am still a firm believer in not regretting the past.... its part of who we are (whether we like it or not)
