So I'm chillin' at the Star Bucks here in Hoover Alabama. Hoover is a suburb not far from where Natalie Holloway used to live.

Anyways, I was JUST approached by a guy named Jeff something-or-other, who apparently was a friend of mine in High School.


He came up and said, "Daniel?? Daniel?" then slowly pronounced, in surgical manner, my entire name.

"yes?" I said ,


We got to talking, and apparently we were friends in high school who used to crack each other up and have a great time.


I. have. no. clue. who. this. guy. is.


Apparently there's a high school Reunion next year, and I'm supposed to attend it , so I guess I'll go.




But have you ever had someone from high school approach you (or college or anything) and you have no clue who they are? If it was just an acquaintance or classmate I'd understand. But Jeff apparently was a bonafide friend of mine


Lawd, I spent to much of my 20s drinking and partying.

It's funny 'cause I NEVER run into anyone from my high school. It's almost strange. I ran into this one girl at a JAI concert once. I used to think she was soo cool. I said hi and she seemed to remember me but she kinda brushed me off.

Yeah, I was a nerd in high school.

Hey I was a nerd in my first high school too

Jeff went to the high school where I was quite popular though. I lived a weird Cinderella story that way

It's weird, I never run into people I went to high school with either. I grew up in a small East Texas town. Many of the people that I went to school with moved to Dallas (which is where I live now) and I never see them at all. Hell, one of my classmates lives less than 3 miles from my house and I never see her.

Now, when I go back home, I run into people I went to school with. It's weird, I hardly seem to remember any of their names. Some of their faces I remember, but I cannot spit their names out to save my life.

oh my, starbuck in hoover alabama

He actually called you Daniel Spurge Twattenham?

daPrettyman said:

Well grew up in Alabama and you grew up in Texas. When in doubt, call the guys Elroy or Bubba and follow the girs name up with "Sue or Ann" (ex: Betty Sue, Mary Ann"... I guarantee 85% success.

when my mother was moving, one of the movers went to high school with me but i could not remember him to save my life.

other than that, the only place where i "run" into people from high school is facebook.

Jazzy!!!

Imago said:

hey there!

Yes.

Imago said:

I actually laughed out loud when I was typing out that name and SAID it, loudly; Daniel Spurge Twattenham. It's got a ring to it; an awful, truthful, resounding truth.

JasmineFire said:

I deleted my facebook profile and it was like a huge weight had lifted off my shoulders. At first, it was fun seeing old photos and then it just got a bit too involving...

Imago said:

I once actually told a classmate all my names (I got four) when I was 13 and she walked up to me when I was , proclaimed those names loudly. In the middle of a shopping street. 20 years later.

Just imagine me, while I am standing there, nailed to the floor, transfixed, looking slightly panicky and thinking; who the fuck IS this person and WHY does she know my names?

I also seem to chat to a lot of people. Especially at Prince concerts; I get recogised ten years after the fact by people I spent one day with, then forgot about immediately.

Imago said:

So did he realize you didn't recognize him?

GirlBrother said:

I think I'm going to keep my facebook account. I've found that it's great for keeping in touch with old friends and keeping up to date with the going ons of everybody.

calldapplwondery83 said:

I told him straight away that I didn't remember him
Hence, him launching into a series of stories about "us"

very strange.


If I had spent any time with you though, I'd surely remember it, though.

Just sayin

Imago said:

Elaborate, please.

And, as you stated you were a drugs-abusing person earlier in life; what is the most horrid story about yourself you can't remember and had to hear back from other people?

HamsterHuey said:

Imago said:

I'm sure you would because, believe me, I'd make you remember it.





Anyway, I've seen that short video recently where the dog licks you and you hump the grass. It was interesting to hear your voice, very nice.

calldapplwondery83 said:

UGH, I hate that video


I don't do the "gator" myself you know
I was just trying to convey my true horror at having to witness it performed at a Tampa night club by a bunch of cowboys.

But thanks for the compliment

Someone called me just a few days ago on my cell phone...
I never did figure out who she was

But I think she had the 'right' person(meaning me)cuz
she had my details if ya know what I mean

Talk about embarrassing

Then to top if off, she said she'd call again

HamsterHuey said:

I'd like an answer now, Douchebag.

obsessed said:

oh lawd

Imago said:

Let's hope I finally figure out who she is before she calls back

I had a few girls come up to me at my 20th reunion last summer who definately knew me and were a little hurt that I "looked" perplexed when they said hello and I had no earthly idea who they were...

Imago said:

The funny part about all of that is that I actually went to school with a guy named Boy Edward Pepper. We called him Edward, but sometimes when subs would come in, they referred to him as Boy..
