I'm the fool... by fauxtography365

I'm the fool...

Pic taken 3/5/09. Five years later I'm still taking pics of the same old shit.

As some of you may recall, there's a man on my train who believes my name is Jessica. This has been going on for about 7 months now and it has kinda gotten to the point where I either just gotta fake that my name is actually Jessica...or avoid the man altogether. (Both of which I've already done.) I suppose I could do the mature thing and actually tell this guy the truth but...ehhhh why make things practical and easy? Gotta love socially awkward situations.

Anyway, yesterday I got off at my train stop (it's his station too) and got in my car to drive home. Had the windows rolled down because it was pretty nice. Was waiting at a light to make a right and I heard incessant car horn beeping from the car next to me in the left lane waiting to make a left. And THEN I heard, "Jessica!! Jessica!!"

I thought, "Will that goddamn Jessica person answer this guy already??"

And then I realized...

Ohhhh. That person was talking to me. I looked over and there he was, smiling and waving.

So I waved back because...well, what the hell else am I gonna do? Blow him a kiss too? Lol.

Probably should have told him my real name right before waving bye and driving off. Ha.

Oh well. Hope you're all having a good start of the week.
The past and present merging into unity of self or other or not!~
Love your story thank you for the smiles!

Cool photo. I think sticking with the false name is a good idea under the circumstances.

@area2 thanks, Michael. I think I might just go with the jessica thing...except that this gentleman works for an organization that I might like to work for in the near future... So my real name might have to be used lol. And to be honest, I wanna call him Chauncey for some reason (he looks like a Chauncey) but I the only reason I remember what his real name is, is basically because he gave me his business card when we first met.

@soboy5 thanks, Danny! You're too kind :)

@snaphappy1 ohhh Elizabeth....
