There is a serious epidemic going down in my life
I keep on getting approached by what I assume are strangers but are really people that I know.. I just don't recognize them. It's happening ALL the time, it's a problem. people I should recognize, I just look at them.. STARE at them and nothing comes to mind for quite sometime.
Yesterday I ran into a kid I went to middle school with. at the bank. At first I thought he wanted to rape me because when we were walking to the bank (he was walking in front of me) he kept on waiting for me to catch up to him and giving me funny looks. I took my sweet time getting to the bank. He held the door for me and said "Are you Mary Kate?" I gave him a blank stare for quite sometime until it clicked. I shot the bull with him for a while. He asked me what I was doing and when I said going to HCC he said,
"For Music"
I gave him a confused look. I nearly forgot that when I was in middle school I was obsessed with performing, specifically singing. (not to toot my own horn.. but if you look in the 7th grade year book for WSMS not only am I team muscian for my team... but im team musician for the team I wasn't even on)
Today a similar thing happened at school. A boy approached me with a grin on his face. I tried to look away but he was looking directly at me and walking towards me. He sat down across for me and recited my fun name. It took me even longer to recognize him. I said a friendly "hello".. and continued to read. after a few sentences, and him still there I studied him only to realize he was freaking Tim. Tim who I did plays with in elementary school that I had the biggest crush on. When I was 10 I would have died to experience that moment. Today I was just really scared for my life. I talked with him for a good hour before a whole group of what I think were genuinely unfamiliar boys sat at the same bench and took his seat when he went to say hi to someone. by that time it was pretty much time for my next class. My first class was canceled because my teacher was out.
it sucked
