Strange things.
The people who pop up lately.
-- So yesterday while picking up a couple things from Target, i run into Tia from high school, who i havent seen since then. Well, actually i think i ran into her at one of those stupid dance clubs the fall of 2001, at which she was her crazy friendly self. But yesterday she really had no interest in talking to me whatsoever. Which is fine, i would feel the same way with a lot of other people form high school that i havent seen since, but i just didnt expect that sort sort of coldness i got from her. Did i piss her off in a way i cant remember? Not that it matters much, we obviously had no real interest in keeping touch, but it was such a strange vibe i didnt expect when i said hi. Oh yeah, she's married and had her 2 little boys with her at the store.
-- Then a certian guy from work that i very breifly dated a couple summers ago (shit, time really flies) but have hardly talked to since, (only the occassional interactions on the job) starts texting me out of the blue for no apparant reason but to say hi. ? uhh ok. cool but odd.
-- and THEN, i get a myspace friend request from 'Jeana'. .. I'm thinking Je-anna? I'm sick of the requests from random straight girls across the country.. whats the point? must be another gimmick trying to sell something. But i click on the profile just to check, see she's from Ohio, but the profile is set to 'Private'. Yep, i know no one in Ohio. But i read the name again, Jeana, and it registers as the same way my best friend from pre-school spelled her name (pronounced Jee-na, like Gina). I glance at the picture again, look deeper, and HOLY SHIT, ITS HER! My best friend from Pre-school, who i used to argue about whether it was called 'Preschool' or 'Pretty-school' and whether Michael Jackson was a boy or a girl. We watched Gremlins a lot together, played outside, and her mom took us to get happy meals before taking us to pretty-school. she was my best friend until i had to move to Minnesota when i was five. But now she's my myspace friend, is married in Ohio, and has a cute little boy. crazy.
Whats with everyone getting married and having kids? i'm still not used to it. I know women are doing this at an increasingly older age these days, and in other cultures and times ladies would be poppin em out at 14 yrs old, but 24 still seems young to me. Maybe its just cuz i cant imagine handling that sort of stress myself. and i cant believe i'm practically a quarter-century old already
unrelated: i dont know if its the nerves from excitement (or fear? or both?) or the new pill i'm on, but my stomach is so tense this past week that i can hardly eat. plus a re-occuring tiny cold-sweat/fever. ick.
too busy, too much to do. havent gotten to see my droogs enough. i need that. i need to relax and have some laughs.
but i also need to pack. = / my room is such a mess.
and i need to work all weekend. =(
