The guy who came to install my phone line was someone I graduated with. He remembered me and was all stoked to see me again. I didn't have a clue who he was, even when he handed me his phone company business card. I had to check my yearbook after he left to see who the hell he was. I felt like such a tool.

I'm the same way

I kind of just drifted through high school in a sense, so when people who I didn't keep in touch with come up to me, I usually don't recognize them and don't really want to chat that much honestly

Some chick that hung around me in primary school (she used to fight other girls to be my best friend ugh) just showed up at my house one day, I can't even remember how she got my address! Then she seemed to think she'd be able to have dinner and stay the night too. All while her mum waited outside in the car I let her stay for maybe 10 mins before I was shooing her out and she cracked it at me. I think that was the last time I spoke to her

Other times people have been like "Hi Jess!!!!" without even telling me who they are and where I know them from. They have to see the completely blank look on my face before they're like "I'm Georgia's friend's cousins sister's boyfriend's sister! You and I went to kinder together!"

-_-

Then my grandparents were getting new wardrobes installed, the tradesmen who came in, they were father and son. The son I also went to primary school with and was completely horrible to me until the last week of the final year where he told me via a note that he had a crush on me the whole time. He recognised my picture on the mantelshelf and was like "Is she here?!?!" while I'm hiding up in my room

Yes but you're still very young though. So that's not too far fetched that you still hang with your high school friends, but after you hit the 5 year mark of being out, then its like you want to move on...at least I did.

My ex was notorious for hanging out with his friends from high school constantly, I mean they are so serious about it that all of them get together at one's house once a year for game night and its like 20 of them plus their significant other's and kids! They've been out of high school for 10 years now. I looked at him like, damn are any of you going to move on with your lives and careers? Or still hang out with each other until you wake up and your 40 and realize all you have really done with your life is hang out with your high school friends. apparently he didn't get it and felt that I was the abnormal one for not keeping in touch with my friends from high school. Yeah, that was one of the reasons why we aren't together now.

I was really wrong tho. He was SUCH a cutey pie, brown skinned with curly hair. He kinda reminded me of that fool Chance on I Love New York, 'cept with perfect teef. I remember he used to let me drive his convertible Mustang 5.0 that was sittin' on Daytons.

That's too funny. It's never happened to me but then I've lived in the same city all my life, it is quite common to run into to most people you've ever gone to school with all the time. I'd have to say dude didn't make a too big of an impression on you. No old pictures, wow.

:men:

I barely remember anyone from HS> I was going through my year book and I was like "Who?" I worked a lot in HS, so a lot of my time was spent either working or doing some sort of Bible Study.

It's 'Starbucks', douchenozzle.

And yeah, on the rare occasion that I go out in the small town where I went to high school, I get recognized by people, and I never know who they are. I was a weirdo in high school (I regularly wore purple satin pajamas to school, for example), and I was involved in some high-visibility activities (drama, music, etc), so people knew who I was, but they DIDN'T do anything interesting, so I never noticed them. And I don't want to notice them now, and I hate it when they talk to me.

I'm an asshole.

But at least I know it's not "Star Buck". Shit.

come here!!!

I live in my hometown again after having been away for about 5 years. And I'm much mor social here now than I ever was.

I'm approached in the bars every week by someone who remembers me, but I can't remember them.
