I received a phone call last night from an old boyfriend. He had heard something on the news that reminded him of me. So he thought he would call. He shared with me that he and his wife are about to have their 3rd child. [sub]That’s a whole 'nother thread. [/sub]
I told him that I had actually thought of him earlier that day because I saw an CRV which made me think of CRX which reminded me of the little car he drove when we were a couple.
I’m curious…what little things make you think of people from your past relationships.
Things that remind me of men from my past are…
a hammer
a ketchup bottle
filling an ice tray
passing a Semi
certain cars
Flex Shampoo and conditioner
Pizza w/ pineapple on it
Does anyone else ever think about their “ex’s” or is it just me??
You’re right! I often think of my ex when I run across a scheming, self-absorbed, pathological-lying, slime-sucking, mentally-unbalanced, money-grubbing, half-witted shit-for-brains.
He knows that the current SO and I are ridiculously happy together.
Hmm!
I also had another ex, who doesn’t live in this town, call me and tell me that he is flying in tonight, to see me. (He has no idea about the SO.)
Why do these guys come crawling out of the woodwork when I’m attached?
Things that remind me of former loves (the good ones don’t deserve the ex term) are: walking downtown with no shoes on, doing cartwheels on the beach, the Customs House, combat boots, cheese pizza, and the lovely beverage “sex on the beach”. That’s all I can think of now!
Even more freakish… my ex’s MOTHER called my mom last week wanting to talk to me. I haven’t called her back yet, but I probably will.
Let’s see… my list. I can’t think of anything that elicits good memories, so I’ll go with the bad ones… the Best of the Best movies; Twister (the movie, not the game); Jeeps, certain stuffed animals of mine that I’ve finally had to just pack up and put in the attic; winding, foggy roads; role-playing games; video arcades.
Probably a bunch of other stuff I can’t think of right now.
Poison perfume
The song Father Figure
Leos
Brown hair and light blue eyes
Monkeys
Bernadette Peters (Stacey looked just like a young Bernadette Peters.
The song “Everything I Do” Bryan Adams
Guitars
Wallace & Grommit
parachute pants
white ford F150’s
my toe rings
It is funny because when i don’t have to think of a list there are probably a million things that remind me of old flames… but these were the only ones that popped out of my brain…
Don’t need much of a reminder. He’s sitting on the sofa in my living room. Me and my ex have been friends ever since we broke up. He still trys my patience sometimes, and of course I irritate the hell out of him, but we’re still friends. I was helping him get by after he got laid off earlier this year, and now that it looks like I’m going to get laid off we’re going to head for new job horizons.
Depends on the ex. I’ve acquired a pretty eclectic list of reminders:
Pablo Neruda’s poetry
The Ben Folds Five
Polo Sport cologne
New Year’s Eve
Red baseball caps
Dallas, Texas
Maraschino cherries
Bowler/derby hats
Werewolf: The Apocalypse
Well, good or bad, I don’t know…it hasn’t been long enough I suppose. I’d like to remember the good parts and forget the bad parts, but these make me think of the whole thing:
(From my most recent ex)
Motorcycles
the song “Amazed”
Turtles
My watch
country music
diners (little, family owned, restaurants)
golf
Hmm…this list wasn’t as long as I thought it’d be.
(from my first ex)
the 1.5 inch long, quarter inch wide scar on my left forearm.
I’ve never had an exboyfriend. I’ve had an exalmostmyboyfriend, which is a complicated story, and I’ve had some guysIusedtodate, but I never considered them boyfriends. But the only things that remind me of any of those guys are songs.
Pretty much anything by Deana Carter, but especially How Do I Get There, reminds me of the almost.
True by George Strait reminds me of one of the usedtodates, because a couple of times while we were out it came on the radio in the car, and I started to sing along with the female backup singer in the chorus. He started complimenting me on my singing (something almostboyfriend used to do too, but nobody’s done so since), and that made me too embarrassed to sing in front of him. I never really cared for him in the way he wanted me to, so I told him so, and he wanted to try being just friends, and for Christmas that year (about a month later) he gave me a CD with that song on it.
The other usedtodate never really left any impression on me at all. :shrug:
Powder blue Toyota Tercels, especially if there’s a big dent in the front right fender. Extra points if there’s a Jerry Garcia sticker in the rear window.
Pesto sauce
Baklava
The entire state of Maine*
“You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To,” as sung by Ella Fitzgerald
[sub]*(this actually covers two people, which is strange because I’ve never lived anywhere near there)[/sub]
Those were musical notes? I thought it was a representation of a person playing the violin. See? The “o” is the guy’s head, the “/” is the bow and the “~” is the body of the violin itself.
So he thought he would call. He shared with me that he and his wife are about to have their 3rd child. [sub]That’s a whole 'nother thread. [/sub]
