Sober Moment 7.1.09

So I have a Yahoo email account. I've had it since my parents got rid of AOL right before I left for college, and I still use it often. Recently, they tried to make it more like Gmail and Facebook by putting the chat application in the email window. Mind you, I haven't used Yahoo Messenger regularly in about 2 years, and even that was solely for music-related contacts.

Anyway, I had the window open in the background, and I heard an unfamiliar noise. I soon found that it was a vaguely familiar screenname, and he had sent me his phone number, telling me to call or text him sometime and asking if I was still in the area. I informed him that I'd been in New York for about 4 years, and I asked him to "remind me of who you are."

"I used to work at Ruby Tuesday's."

Not a name. Not how we met. Not a picture. He identified himself by his job. When he told me his hometown (a good hour from my college) and mentioned the job I had at the time. The situation seemed vaguely familiar, but a face didn't come to mind (probably because it spent most of the time buried in a pillow).

"Wow, you really don't remember me... I know I couldn't forget."

It's funny because so much has changed since I've moved to New York, including my tastes. I feel like if I ever had to move back to my college town, I'd have quite few awkward conversations with guys from my past (whether I remember them or not) because I probably wouldn't be interested in many of the guys I hooked up with back then. And not that I didn't appreciate it or that it was less of an experience at the time, but I'm a much different person now.

Luckily, I don't have as much extensive experience in South Carolina (because I go there a hell of a lot more).

Speaking of, a guy with the name first name as a trick I had sex with once or twice with over a break in college (and stopped calling because he would invite me over late as hell and then wouldn't want to have sex) keeps coming up as a "Suggestion" in the top right of my Facebook page. I checked, and he's definitely from Columbia. Crap.

On a wholly unrelated note, I posted a video on Facebook featuring Bottomless Pitt and Chandilier, the 7-foot drag queen from DR!P. I'm a horrible speller, so I looked up how to spell chandelier and compared it with her spelling. In the description, I wrote "*shrug* that's how she spells it." Not long after I posted the video, the following exchange happened.

Needless to say, I died laughing. No response from Chandilier as of yet.
