A strange thing happened over the Christmas break, in fact it only happened a couple of days ago, and yet it seams like such a long time ago. I went to our local supermarket to do some shopping, more than anything I needed to get Toska some food. So I was walking around, and I saw someone I've not seen in many years. This guy I met when I was at college back in 1998-2000. I had a crush on him and I actually wrote him a letter saying that I would very much like it if we went out for a drink some time. Now although we never dated we did become friends and spent a lot of time together. In fact I even skipped a canny few lessons because of him. He was funny and cute and although I always crushed on him I don't think we would have ever worked as a couple. So I let him go and moved on with my life. I've thought about him, but who in all honesty doesn't think about people they've 'crushed' on in the past. I saw him a couple of days a go and I have no idea what I saw in him. I don't think he's all that cute at all. Now I don't know if this is because of S or because I'm older and things have happened but I just didn't feel anything. Our eyes met and I don't think he even recognised me. (That's happened quite a bit lately because of the whole weight loss thing). I need time to get over S, I need to avoid him as much as possible and just not think about him or talk about him. I need to, as much as I can, cut him out of my life. That way I can move on. I don't want these feeling for S any more.
Also something really weird, my half sister who I've not seen or talk to since I was at secondary school, found my sister on Facebook and asked her if she could get me to contact her.... how weird is that. That's not cousins and siblings who I have no relationship with who have now added me to facebook. It's all getting a little too weird. It's not like we're ever going to met face to face, the only relationship we'll ever have is that through facebook. I'm beginning to wonder if facebook is a good idea or not! How many of you have facebook? What weird things have happened to you through that?
Facebook can be quite weird. I'm "friends" with a few people I went to
primary school with. People I wouldn't recognise if we passed in the
street. But then it also helps me to keep touch with people who are miles
away. Swings and roundabouts.
On Facebook, I've been found by a few people that I knew in high school and
lost touch with probably even before I had graduated from high school, but
it's also helped me reconnect with other people with whom I'm glad to
reconnect. Fortunately, none of my half-brothers have found me that
way--they'd probably be asking me for money if they had!
