Bugger

The Mister and I have decided that the usage of this word cannot be all that bad considering Wallace just used it in the latest Wallace and Gromit movie we watched. How bad could it be then?

I just had a rather delayed Bugger moment that is mildly embarrassing. I was recently at a wedding and was seated at a table with someone that I recognized. I wasn't sure he would remember me so when the appropriate time came, I leaned over and said pleasantly, "Hi (I won't say his name here), I don't know if you remember me, I'm Heidi". He smiled and said he did remember me and proceeded to spout off some questions about how I was doing.

I was a little surprised at just how much he did remember me since in my memory I couldn't recall us knowing each other that well. Maybe passing acquaintances or friends of friends. Plus I couldn't remember a thing about the topics he apparently knew all about me: where he went to school, what he did, where he lived now...

In my mind however, I simply passed it off as a huge success for facebook's home page updates - or simply word from mutual friends.

It was only very recently (aka about a month or so after said wedding) that I realized when I saw that he was on my gchat list, that I in fact knew him quite well. We had been in a Bible Study together, hung out in the same crowd quite often, and he had even been to a goodbye party I'd had before moving down for school.I flipped through some pictures I had from the goodbye and sure enough, there's a picture I have with him.

Egad. Thankfully I didn't do anything any more stupid than re-introduce myself to the guy after only not seeing him for maybe 2 years. 

Perhaps the most ironic thing of all is -- I rock at the game Memory.
