Record no. 24
During my first year of college, I had two girlfriends. One was an internet girlfriend (whom I bring up on here often enough), and the other was a real life one. I kept trying to convince them to be friends. The internet girlfriend was fully onboard, but the real life girlfriend thought I was insane. Despite my insanity, she kept hanging out with me. I kept on skipping classes to go to her house (down the street from my university). She introduced me to Beef Fantasy. Then all at once we stopped talking.
I ran into her two years later, the winter after I’d dropped out of college. I was at the mall down the street from her house in a t-shirt, trying to find a jacket. It’s not that I necessarily wanted a jacket — I just felt misplaced when I stepped outside and everyone else was wearing so much more than me.
