So tonight me and my good pal amanda were reminded why we don't go out walking about town anymore.
I got hit on no less than 4 times. 3 kept walking, another ran across his lawn, asked if he could talk to me, i asked about what. when he approached he looked vaguely familiar, at which point he said, oh shit, i went to high school with you. I believe you told me to go fuck off. To which my response was, i wouldn't be surprised. He then asked why i was so mean in high school and i said, i wasn't mean, i'm sure there was a very good reason for me to be so blunt. Apparently he was a football player and he remembered me from being in band he said he distinctly remembered it because it was while he was stretching before a game. I didnt apologize for it simply because i didnt feel i had to, but he smiled none the less and went on his merry little way. it kinda makes me wonder how i was perceived by the "other half" of the kids i went to school with. i wasn't mean or condescending. i had my small group of friends and kept to myself and respected anyone who respected me. oh well. i suppose i should be flattered or something.
i'm much too tired to go on about the rest of my day, but to sum it up, i'm quite happy, very relieved and can move on with my life and hopefully lead by example.

funny enough...on the rare occasion that i have run into people i went to high school with while visiting VA, it turns out a lot of people who never associated with me secretly thought i was really cool. it just makes me laugh...if you thought i was cool then why didnt you talk to me? douchebags.
