Strange Day

ceitfiannaToday I drove part of the way to Philadelphia and I'm currently at my brother's house before having dinner and then spending the night in Haverford and heading to NYC tomorrow. I registered with Kelly Services and found them quite nice though it shows how oddly competent I feel, I think I could have done a good job at helping people as the woman who talked to me.
Then in Border's Cafe, I had an incredibly surreal experience, someone said Hi to me and I turned and there was a ghost from the past, Mike. Now those who knew me in college will remember the Republican boyfriend who made the first half of my sophomore year rather horrible.
Well this was him and he really didn't leave much of a mark on me. I think he was more caught off guard and scared by me than I was by him. He talked about people we knew in high school and how he's also looking for a job, he looked like the idea of a prep, red polo shirt, khaki pants, old school big old umbrella. He was even holding himself rather formally also he'd lost a lot of weight which I why it took me a second to recognize him.
The strangest thing was I've put on some weight since then but I didn't have a moment of oh god what must he think of me instead I felt rather sorry for him since he seemed rather lost and not sure who he was. This was a problem he had in high school, there he deal with it more with agression outwards, now it seems its more polite.
Since this has happened I've been muling it over and realized that I've grown more into myself and that while I maybe in between and not exactly where I want to be yet, I know who I am and where I'm going.
Life is a rather strange and complicated roads and to meet this boy who broke my heart and hurt me terribly and find no ache there is an interesting surprise. I'll probably be on later tonight to tag everything up but just wanted to write this out. Oh and thank you again![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
