Okay, you say, so there were a couple creepers staring at your boobs. Unfortunate, but not completely unheard-of; after all, they're kind of...out there. >.> But really, I would have been so, SO happy if that was the end of it. But no. The universe decides that the real fun? Has not even STARTED yet.
Because that's when Rick[y] gets on the bus. And notices me. And comes and sits next to me. (Oh, for those of you who know them, did I mention the whole name change thing? They no longer go by Ricky & Steven--they're "Rick" & "Steve" now.)
Now, for those who don't remember "Alien Boy" (and god, I never thought I'd be using THAT tag again!), we dated for sixth months, from the end of seventh grade to the beginning of eighth grade. It...did not end well. (...Okay, so I might have been sort of mean when I broke up with him. MY BAD, alright? >.>) I didn't actually see him for YEARS after jr. high, since he went to high school with
SO. That is my relationship with Ricky. In a nutshell. SO ANYWAY, he gets on the bus, sees me, and comes and sits down next to me. We talked for the ten or so minutes that he rode the bus for. It wasn't quite as awkward as it's been between us in the past, but it wasn't exactly totally comfortable. And neither of us dared mention anything to do
So finally, he gets off the bus. I ride another few stops, and then get off at YPC (the theatre company I'm currently involved with; I'm stage managing their holiday show, "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown").
I go in, and I'm talking on the phone with
We were watching the Charlie Brown movies today (for cast bonding & character development, and just style ideas in general), so we all head back and start the movies. We're pigging out on junk food, and everything's going great (the costumer, Jan, who I've been dying to talk to, even stopped in for a bit, which was nice), until...
...my only other (local) ex shows up.
Yeah, that's right. Tony, who I technically never dated (we were really more friends-with-benefits, but still), and broke things off with because Summer was PISSED as HELL when she found out (he was a friend of hers, even though he's my age). This was slightly less unlikely than running into Ricky, since I know Tony through Summer, who met him through YPC, which is where I was, so...yeah. But still. He randomly showed up two-thirds of the way through rehearsal, and just starts WATCHING with us. We mostly avoided each other, and I bet he was wondering why I was there, but I didn't make any contact. After all, our..."thing" was just this summer, so...still too soon.
It's just...really, what are the chances that I run into BOTH of my (local) exes on the same day? Combine that with all the bus creepers from earlier, and it made for an awkward day for me.
In other news, I am now an employee of Pier 1 Imports (thus my last TxtLJ post). Also, I have no Halloween plans. At all. Well, unless you consider "go to work from 1-4, then go to my parents' house for dinner and steal candy & hide from trick-or-treaters in the family room" plans.
ETA: Happy birthday to Frank Iero :)
