Sorta funny story.
So, I spent more time with two of my friends from high school. One of them, like I mentioned, I knew. I saw him at Jade's graduation from nursing school and at my reunion. He knows my brother-in-law and so our paths have crossed. Or, I suppose we are familiar we each other.
The other guy, I didn't know in high school. He is two years older than me and we frequented different social circles. I did see him at my reunion and I did know who he was. I asked him the other night, if he knew who I was in high school and he goes--sure, you were Michaela's sister. Nice.
I suppose many people knew me like that in Salina. Michaela was the homecoming queen and I just wanted to run as fast as I could from Salina. It still makes me laugh. He did mention, of course, that he had a crush on her when we were in school. My question to him was--who didn't?
And now, when she comes to visit me, she is Harmony's sister which is great...I suppose.
The last few days have been interesting in terms of etiquette. I had three completely different, yet equally frustrating situations. I think my favorite happened at Elway's. I was dining with Jeremy and Aron and Elway's was packed. When we approached the bar, I found one bar seat and told Jeremy to sit down since he had torn his ACL and needed to sit down. There was a solo guy on the corner and it was obvious that he would be a quick diner. This older gentleman approached me and told me that I should sit down. He insisted. I told him that it was nice and I appreciated especially since my friend tore his ACL and I wanted him to be able to sit down.
A little bit later, this other guy comes up to me and tells me that I am rude for sitting down in his friend's chair. I couldn't believe it and I tried to explain to him that his friend had insisted that I sit down. He told me that Jeremy should offer me his seat. I told him to sit down and continued to defend myself and basically tell the guy that he wasn't involved.
I couldn't believe the audacity of this guy. I mean, it wasn't even his chair and why did he care?
Eventually, he apologized and I told him no worries. Seriously, what is going on with people?

Don't worry about it...she may have been the homecoming queen but now she's the homewrecking queen. Three at last count. At least you have morals - unlike your sister who likes to prey upon middle-aged married men...
