this is what happens when you go to the target on christmas eve without combing your hair:
you run into your arch-nemesis from college and he, of course, spots you right away. probably because you’re wearing one brown sock and one black sock and a pair of entirely unsuitable for minnesota winter brown flippy flop shoes. or it could be because when you’re 6’5″ you can’t really hide in the DVD/CD aisles of target. regardless he spotted me and i spotted him.
it was as awkward and uncomfortable as you can imagine it would be running into the guy you totally slammed in the last one of your very-popular, very-well-read newspaper column.
it did make me feel a little better that he too was wearing a cap and looked like total shit.
You should have thrown something at him. Y’know, just in case it wasn’t already awkward enough.
it was the ultimate in awkward. he was the president of student senate, i was the editor of the newspaper. he thought he could charm me with his blonde good looks. i was a sucker for brunettes. he asked me out, i went to piss off all my friends. it was fun. the last time i saw him (before today), he grabbed me around the waist, pulled me to him and whispered, “if you had written that column sooner we’d of had a lot more fun.” chuck ushered me out by the hand as i shouted, “touch me again and i’ll puke on your shoes!”
good times, good times.
