1826 small world

 Saucy Scale: 10

My youngest children attend a cooperative nursery school two mornings a week.  As a cooperative, parents share some of the volunteer duties.  While it can be a hassle to secure child care for other children & bring snacks for 18 four year olds, generally, all parents LOVE spending those precious hours watching their children in the classroom.  I cherish those days when I get to see my children in action!

Yesterday, it was my turn to be Room Parent.  While I was following my children from play kitchen, to painting, to "the loft", I noticed The Director was leading a mother & son on a tour and school visit.

long story short…

Turns out I used to know the mom visiting the classroom.  I met her brother the summer after high school & we dated for over two years (much longer than needed).  I was dating him when my mommy first got sick.  He was very supportive of me during those awful years with her illness.  When I no longer wanted to date him, it took me forever to break it off.  I truly didn’t want to hurt him, but I REALLY didn’t want to date him anymore either.

She was cordial & sweet to me – complete with hug.

We had very little opportunity to catch up on her family, but I did inquire about the brother I had dated.  She offered little & clammed up a bit.  Which had me curious.

last night, I googled him.  I couldn’t resist.

Many interesting things to be found on google!

1. He lives the next town over from me.  On the same street where we rented a house last year!  A mere 18 houses away.

2. He published a book of poetry about "love, longing, desire, loss, & death" – all written in a very specific timeframe.  Oh yeah, the first two of those years were the ones in which we dated.  Then broke his heart.  I was his first girlfriend, so I HAD to find this book.

3. Found it!  HOLY CRAPBALLS!  I found several pieces that were very very VERY specifically about me.  Which is both a bit flattering & extremely creepy.  This is a published book!

4. He has since taken his writing "talent" in a very grisly direction…hopping on the lusty horror genre bandwagon.  Lots of vampires etc.  not being very familiar with this stuff, I can’t say for certain, but it appears he has a little bit of a following.

5. His current "gal pal" has a public FB page where she described herself as a former "pin-up & fetish" model.

yes, clealy, I am a stalker.
