Countdown: #4 “I Can’t Place You!!”

“I Can’t Place You!!”
So I guess that today wasn’t that exciting. I went downtown to see Aileen at approximately 15:00 o’clock. We had a lot of fun but still nothing worth mentioning about. I didn’t sleep again and going out with Sven at Army Academy in the night (And I mean the night just after Friday’s midnight) wasn’t so much fun as I expected. And I didn’t find Manuel despite the fact that a friend of his told me he was there. IDK where he was. But the point is that I didn’t meet him.
On top of that I learnt that I’ve looking for Manuel on FB in vain since I was searching with the wrong name. And just imagine that I got banned for five days to be unable to add anyone. And just when I found him before meeting Aileen, he deleted his account!! (Like what?!?!)
Anyhow during the night (again the night after Friday’s midnight), I was at Army Academy and some girls are coming to me at a point being like: “Oh my god! You were working in [my hometown] during the summer in a store that sold all that funny stuff, right?”
Well it’s not the first time this happens since I’ve been in C.. It doesn’t bother me that they come and speak to me. I enjoy it nevertheless. (And those girls really made the night a lot more interesting than it was before..) What it does annoy me though is the fact that they expect me to remember meeting them. For real. What are you thinking honey?
You were in the store for how long? Ten minutes? Fifteen? More? We talked and I believe you when you say we did but you were one of the hundreds that I would speak every single day! How I am supposed to remember you and every one of you?!
And this thing tires me too. I mean I honestly can’t stand being unable to place people. I was checking my FB friends (and on my FB account I only add people I know personally and no one else) and I was struggling to realize whether I do know some of them. But they had pictures with me. Pictures I don’t fudging remember shooting. In fact some of them I couldn’t remember them at all!
I walk in the street and there comes that guy/girl and starts speaking to me. But I am wondering whether I know him/her or not. As I mentioned above, I don’t mind them talking to me. But I mind their demanding me to remember them since we’ve together for an extremely short while.
The irony in this thing though is the fact that I know many people who would wish to be in my place. Having people talking to them all the time. Making always an impression on people so they wouldn’t forget them after a couple of minutes. And I have that “popular” thing but I can’t stand it at times. It’s fun indeed (I love interacting with people anyway) but not when they start with obnoxious thing of whether I remember them or not.
Well in the end I guess today proved the fact that most of the time we want what we don’t have. But if we really took a moment and took a look at all the pros & the cons of what we have and what we don’t, would we still want the latter? Or maybe would we realize that we don’t need it after all..?
P.S. I’m extremely stupid by the way. I was making eggs for dinner and I ended up setting the pan on fire ‘cause I forgot them! It was hilarious!!! But it smelled kinda bad though..
