Last night while batch processing some image files I started randomly looking at some of the SGs and I came across Naudia who looks amazingly like the ex-wife. I hadn't thought about her for quite some time and seeing someone who resembled her brought back all kinds of memories. It was almost like some corny movie, we met in Paris, were seperated, then met again a few months later in Istanbul, where we became very close. She's Romanian so we married in Transylvania with a view of Dracula's castle (that scored some major goth points). She had decided to finish her degree so we stayed in Bucharest. She would have been an amazing pimp, in a country where $150 a month was good pay, she would get me jobs for $1200-1500 a day, and as she was taking a huge courseload she would be in class day and night, and would introduce me to various friends of hers sayin something like "no husband of mine will be seen without beautiful woman on arm, this is Daniella, tell her she has beautiful eyes, she's easy". The perfect wife. I hated Bucharest and decided to leave after a few months. The plan was for her to get her degree then come join me somewhere. Her father got sick and eventually died, then her grandmother, and she moved in with her to help take care of her, and life just kind of got in the way. After about 18 months I told her we should call off the marriage, as we were better friends than anything at this point it just seemed right. I visited a couple times, we went to another friend's wedding in Paris, wrote, and talked on the phone quite a bit, but over the last few years, but it became more and more infrequent, and now I can't remember the last time I spoke to her.
Seeing t someone who reminded me of her got me thinking about all this, but ofcourse it didn't prompt me to do anything about it. A couple hours later I went into a folder where I store old e-mails lloking for a serial number for a program I had to reload to finish the project I was working on, and I found an e-mail she had sent me last May that had somehow ended up in there unread. She told me she was marrying the guy she had been seeing and was expecting a child. She sounded very happy and excited and said nobody knew, I was the first person she wanted to tell, not her mother or her girlfriends, but me. This made me feel really shitty, she sends me this e-mail and I never responded. I can't imagine what she thought about that. I would have thought I was an ass. I tried calling her, but the number I have is no longer hers. Her mother's doesn't work either. I replied to the e-mail, but this morning I got an error message back saying the recipient's name doesn't exsist. This morning I tried calling a couple of our mutual friends but have reached no one, it's been a year or two since I've spoken to any of them.
I don't know why I just wrote this.
