Not How the Script Was Supposed to Go

conejita_diabla, othelianna and I went out for sushi. We were sitting at one table and at the next table (behind me) there were two cute girls. Having two cute girls at my own table I wasn't too concerned about this.

But conejita_diabla kept looking over at them with some concern. It was one of those I'm sure I know them but not from where moments. I did get a good look at both of them but nothing registered. This is not surprising since, being an extrovert, conejita_diabla is much more likely to know people then I am.

After dinner she went up to the woman in question and flat out asked her (another difference between the two of us - I'd have skulked away). After some back-and-forth it turns out that they had met briefly.

Returning, I was informed that I knew her too. It was C♯, the girl who, many years before had the distinction of giving me a Dear John letter before our first date. As I said at the time, that's got to be some kind of record. The intervening years have certainly treated her well as she's looking about ten times better now then she did then. So much so that I literally didn't recognize her at all. That's not supposed to happen. People who reject me for no reason are supposed to experience karmic revenge. Hollywood lied to me dammit.

Of course, maybe karma really does exist. I hope not - it means that I've been getting hammered by it for a long time, possibly due to being one obnoxious SOB in an earlier life.

In other news, we played Rock Band afterwards and it was fun.

WHenever I miss rock band, a small part of me dies...

Oh, sucks for you about the whole Karma thing. Just imagine she has mutant crabs and is dipping into the Sado-Masengil, and it will make you smile.

I didn't invite you because it was a weekday. Sorry about that. I'll ask you next time even if it's Superbowl Sunday and let you do what you will.

It would have been great to have you because othelianna is a really good singer. Drums and Guitar? Did I mention she's a really good singer?
