oh, i almost forgot. i went to albertson's on the way back. of course, i saw ryan... but the weirdest thing. i saw matt. uh, the sophomore. also, the one who doesn't know me. so, i've seen his website and heard a bit about him from baylee and blogs and such, so i was able to recognize him. so, i'm in the store (we ended up getting behind him in the checkout line) and i'm thinking, "i know that kid! i know that kid! look! look!" and also knowing that he has no bloody clue as to who i am. but it was weirdly fascinating, to think that i knew this kid and he didn't know me. it didn't make me feel lonely (as many things do) but almost the opposite. which was, well, weird. but cool too i guess. mostly weird though. (oh, and i tell nikki this and she wants to know who he is, so i direct her to the pictures on his website. and she has declared that he is "cute". she also slavered over his bowlcut. me and nikki, we got a thing for bowlcuts.)
