Dear Logan,
I think it best by starting this off with honesty. I kinda had a crush on you when I friended you. Now I know this may not seem like all that big a deal, I mean I assume everyone does it from time to time, but I don’t think people openly acknowledge it much. So, I thought I would just say that, since I think you probably have no idea A) how I got on your friends list and B) why you are now being written about.
Now that we have that said, a little about you. The primary thing I remember about meeting you was dairyqueen. I remember coming in there a couple times when you were working there (or was it a different icecream place…pretty sure it was dairy queen). and watching you deal with customers was pretty much the funniest thing ever. A lady would walk up to the counter (usually corpulently obese) and say something to the effect of “Gimme bucket lard chocolate swirl nao”. Your face would do this wonderful dance when this happened. First you would see some contempt, but blink and you would miss it, this is then followed by an equally fast smile (as if a nervous tick from the effort of hearing the words you just heard) and finally a kind of blasĂ© resignation. It was priceless and I don’t know how you made it through everyday there. But rest assured I was pleased as punch to see it.
I know I have spoken to you at the cafĂ© a couple of times, but that has been quite a while. Currently we have a weird “glance and move on” method of interaction. I have this with a lot of people. Its where at one point you spoke, but then some time passed and there was never really a context for continued conversation. So what you do from there out is look, go “yep that’s that person I talked to a couple times” in your head, and then after that confirmation, go about your day.
I have thought about breaking this trend, but I have no clue what I would say. Probably something like “Hey.” (awkward pause) then “ok.” And go back to my seat.
I am pretty sure we have never interacted on FB so not much will be lost here. If for some reason you feel like chatting, well, I see you probably once every couple of weeks in one establishment or another, so like maybe someday…I will dump coffee on myself and that will be a good conversation starter.
Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,
Curt
