No chance of me being Line Master at the BSG convention.
Hee!
I'd love to be able to show people that history isn't just names and dates (because hello, I can't remember them either) but it's about culture and politics and sociology as well. It's a wild and wacky ride; you just have to look at in different, less stuffy, terms.
You'd be the kind of history teacher I'd love. I love history, 'cause to me it's like all these stories that I get to listen to. But yeah, trying to remember who did what when and where and what everyone else is doing at the time? This is why I sucked at history.
The sad truth is that I'll probably always be dealing with it. It's just ingrained at this point, it's part of my very make up. But the difference is that now I'm really starting to see all those various events for what they were. Most make me smile fondly and some make me want to bang my head against the wall, or to smack him upside the head.
Yeah. I had the guy who I crushed on from 9th grade on. We were friends - even semi-good friends, but not to the point you guys are/were - and looking back, I'm so much more objective. But as far as still dealing with it - now that he's been married for more than a few years, not so much. And, I ran into him late in my college career, and I realized that he'd become a person that I really didn't like that much.
It doesn't change the sum of events though, but I guess I've taken that sum, deemed it positive and have moved on.
Yeah. I always thought I'd be attached to him in some way, even years and years after I technically gave up. But not so much. I moved on and on and on, and eventually, he became just another part of my past rather than someone who still affected my present.
