do i know you?
i was standing in line waiting to buy a ticket at the movies this week. ahead of me in line is this girl that i think looks familiar. it takes me a few minutes to convince myself that i’ve seen her before. but i can’t figure it out and just let it pass. 5 minutes later i find myself sitting just behind and to the right of her in the same movie. during the entire movie i was bothered by the fact that i couldn’t place her. what bothers me more is that she has seen me, we’ve made eye contact, and most likely she can’t place me either because otherwise she might have said hello. both of our brains are on freeze, temporarily out of order. we’re both sitting and watching a movie knowing this.
after the movie i of course avoid all possible contact with her because i’m too embarrassed to ask her where i know her from, and i get the feeling she’s feeling the same thing. no luck, because ten minutes later i’m waiting for my train and see her on the platform across from me waiting for the same train. fuck fuck fuck fuck! why is this happening?! remember her already!
we both know enough to get on different cars.
next morning i’m at starfucks ordering my wake-up juice. i swear she’s in there reading at one of the tables. i met impossible odds. why do i always get these odds in the worse situations? i’m tired and i’m annoyed that the issue has carried on to the next day and i’ve still been unable to think of where i know her from.
i put cream in my wake-up juice, with my back to her. but i get tapped on the shoulder and i close my eyes saying to myself “great, here we go.” i turn around to her saying exactly what has been going through my head – how she thinks she knows me and doesn’t know where from, yada yada. yeah! i’m not alone! there are other people out there just as forgetful as me!
only its kind of sad because it turned out we couldn’t find any common element from school, work, friends, or where we live. nothing matched.
we’re both still standing there kind of dumbfounded. we were both sure that we knew each other from somewhere so how can we not find where it was from? this is just insult to injury at this point. some kind of mean trick god is playing on us, and for what reason?
that’s it. we parted ways after laughing at how ridiculous the entire situation was. most unusual.
