hahahaha I've been laughing at the ridiculousness that is my life recently, though, this last scenario is indeed my fault.
For one, when you are going to go visit your good friends at another college, and you know your ex is there, and that you want to be friends, and that people said if it's not awkward then why not text him as he suggested that one time to meet up?*
(*Yes this is a run-on sentence, but it is purposefully used to convey mania)
So I did just that. I texted so many people too to cover it up in case I felt awkward.*
(*You know? When you don't want to wait for specific person to text back, so you text a handful of other people so when you do get a text, you don't have to worry about who it's from! Instead, you'll open the text and see "Oh it's only Luis about that random giraffe joke I sent him." No hanging around, you see.)
Only guess who was the only person to write me back? Yeah, I've been laughing at how unfunny that set up was too. So we had lunch, which was an odd, thrown together affair because I had no plans other than "Hey want to meet up?"
It was pretty funny though, when I finally reached my friend Jill's apartment, because when I was telling her about the plans, she suddenly turned panicked. "Wait. Is this just a 'you guys' thing?"
"No," I replied rather matter-of-factly, though I was starting to panic as well. "Wait. No." I started outer monologuing. "He knows you're coming. I'd have to stop over somewhere here first." Then I screamed because my phone just received a text from the ex.*
(*This is all rather silly, when you think about how long ago we dated and how us "dating" consisted of eight hours of saying "Hey! We're dating." I'm not kidding.)
So lunch went well. I made many uber awkward jokes, some of which included puns on the word "far," logic as to why I'm named after George Washington, and an unconscious effort* to make everyone put their hands in the middle and saying "Brink" when we were done.
(*I do this often. I'm unsure why, but if you put me in a group of any sort, I feel like this is the only way to end a discussion. No one ever does it.)
Though I will admit, that I had trouble eating speedily. My mouth went all dry because I had so many hilarious jokes and puns to share and I would forget to eat. Okay, actually, I ordered a rather large ham sandwich, so my mouth went dry really often.
Later on, Jill said I wasn't awkward at all, and come to think of it, I wasn't.
Though, yes I'll admit, I wanted to be really charming and cool to show the kid what he missed out on. Let me tell you, he missed out on a lot*.
(*See the post on my shiny hair.)
