I received an email from someone that I went to high school with. He apparently did not recognize me and I honestly don't think that I would have recognized him except for the fact that he has an unusual first name. After seeing the name, his age, and given the fact that he grew up in Kaneohe, I was able to figure it out.
I was not a pretty or popular girl in high school...in fact, I think I could accurately describe myself as a geek (and not in a kinda cute Ally Sheedy from Breakfast Club way either). I had thick glasses, braces (and for a time headgear), acne, baby-fat, mismatched clothes, and no social skills.......save for Lasik and not requiring headgear any longer, not a whole lot has changed but I have learned to adapt to my circumstances and frankly, at this point in my life, I think I have earned being as weird as I choose to be. I can't quite recall what classification this guy fell under in school, but I am positive that he was much more in demand that I ever was.
So now I'm trying to figure out what to do. I am not interested in dating him however, I do feel like I should make some acknowledgement of our common background...after all, it is kinda funny (at least I thought it was funny). What to do, what to do?
ohemgee...thats why i love you. braces with head gear? yea if i went to your school, i think i would have been following you around like a puppy dog. befriending you and asking if i could try on your head gear.
ReplyDeletemismatched clothes? wha'ts wrong with that? you are the coolest cat in the school from what it sounds.
soo what happened? did you tell him?
look who's in demand now. JOOOOOO-DY!!!
I decided not to say anything since I didn't want to also express my disinterest in dating him....I dunno about being in demand...a male friend told me that he sends out a gazillion emails just to see who bites.....
