Well, I got through hurricane Irma without losing power. I did get bored and tried looking up an ex-girlfriend. In fact, my first girlfriend. Maybe my first attempt at friends with benefits. Unfortunately she didn’t see it that way. I pretty much was a douche. Over the years, I’ve tried finding her on the internet. Something like once every 5 years or so I’d get on the web and try to get an email address or number. Never found her. Anyways…with Irma hitting Tampa, I was off work and everything was closed so I spent like 10 hours on my laptop trying to find her. Hey I was bored not stalkish. So I found 3 email addresses that didn’t work. I found two additional last names for here. I finally found her current address on three different sites having the same address. So I sent her a card saying high and asking her to contact me. I was very vague about our type of relationship. I mean it’s been a quarter century. She may not remember me, but I doubt that. We were tight for like 2 years.
Anyways, back to the card. I spend an hour on the computer trying to come up with the verbiage I wanted to use. I wanted to come off as friendly but not give a stalker vibe. I mean this is kind of a stalker thing to do. She lives in Texas and I’m in Florida so it’s not like I’m trying to rekindle a lost love. I basically want to speak to someone I had a real connection with (I think, it could have been late teen hormones). So after writing two different cards, I sent the one I thought was the most appropriate.
I sent it Wednesday. The mail is picked up @ 7:30 pm so I’m thinking that she will get it Tuesday or Wednesday.
I have no expectations. I’m fairly certain that she is married and will just go ” What the fuck” and throw the correspondence away. I’m nervous. If she contacts me,she does. If she doesn’t, she doesn’t. At least I tried.
