A girl I knew from a long time ago added me on Facebook. It's nice connecting from people from long ago and hearing things you never would expect.
First, my message to her...

ahaha.. Thanks for the add! I don't know why you're one of the few people I remember from my Clermont Elementary School days. Probably because I had a little crush on you :P. And now, you've grown up to be quite beautiful! Hope that's not awkward to say. :3
Have a nice weekend!

hi eric! i was glad to see you on here. It's funny you say that (i'm one of the few people u thought of from your Clermont Elementary days) bc that's exactly what I was thinking when I was scrolling through a friends friend list and saw u. i instantly remembered elementary school and learning all the basics. oh how long ago that was :(
one thing i did remember was how serious and smart u always were. i didn't even think u knew anyone else was around u. u always seemed so focused on what u were doing. & yet u had a crush on me, eh? LOL! oh my confidence would've have increased ten fold to know that one of the smartest guys i'd ever met had a crush on me. goofy, awkward me!!! school seemed to be so easy 4 u. 2 me, and my highly active mind, it was sooo unbelieveably hard to stay focused. all i could think of was how i couldn't wait 2 go home & play with my barbie dolls. or make every assignment into a competition. i'd try to beat this person or that person and get my work done first :-p

"i didn't even think u knew anyone else was around u"
the irony of this... I'm one of the most self-conscious people I know. I'm overly aware of who is around me and overly concerned with what they are thinking. It appears that the persona I crafted back then was more stable than it is now. I'm slipping.
