10th grade calculus...i still hadn't come into myself.  Mike was new to the school...he interested me.

I would drop my pencil and hope it rolled under his desk at first so he would talk to me.  
I would write his name in margins next to logarithms, and give him the answers to HW when he forgot his. 
Then I got to know him, and introduced him to people in the school..and he was a complete facade.  
And he felt nothing for me. Older guy, younger girl.  It's funny how years later, they think about you again..

mike: Liz...a fuck-up like me..I never gave a shit about anything

mike: im not gonna brag here but I do very well

me: you play the part very well

me: and money means nothing

mike: it doesnt

mike: i live like a negro

me: why would i honestly care if you are eating ramen or filet mignons?

mike: good point

mike: but these days status is everything.

mike: it costs a lot to live

me: thats unfortunate that you hang with the wrong people

me: your priorities are skewed

me: i would find it more valuable to be with a starving artist who is passionate 
about what he does, than a shmucky day trader who makes bank

mike: so let me ask you this Liz

mike: If I wanted to take you out on a date

mike: and I had easy mac

mike: wouldnt I look like as ass

mike: ?

me: if you had Batteries Not Included on VHS, then no, because i've been looking 
for that flick for months

mike:  LOVE THAT FUCKING MOVIE

me: i would even venture to say my IDEAL, would be easy mac, a comfy couch 
and a good movie

me:  who ever convinced you glitz and glamour needed to be a part of every 
date was sorely mistaken

mike:  very true

mike:  maybe its just me'

me:  i would imagine, that the person you would marry someday, 
would be happy with easy mac

....
mike: nite elizabeth...grabbed that movie though

me:  i hope you find a nice lady in providence to watch it with you

me:   its a good reel

mike: nah..your watching it with me

mike:

me:  a boy can dream

mike: https://www.familyvideo.com/catalog/checkout_confirmation.php

Luakabopp: link didnt work

Luakabopp: you're a few years too late, but i at least appreciate that you realize that

i post this because...it feels good to feel validated.  8 years ago, I was insecure, 
and would have loved that sort of assurance.  I have more to say, but at 5am, i'm sleepy.

Liz of 2007, is content with the way things are going, and has no remote 
interest in looking back..
