His name was Matt (I have dated three Matts, sheesh) who was in my English class at community college. He had large, muscular arms (a nice thing on a guy) and in fact he lived not to far from where I live right now. Also, my first real life experience with a mixed race couple as his father was white his step-mother was black. Both of them treated me like a princess.
We were bored one night, kicked back on his couch and snuggled a lot < sigh > eating popcorn all the while watching “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge” on HBO.
I had totally forgotten about him until I turned the channel and started watching this!
He was a very nice looking guy but couldn’t hold a conversation for crap. If it weren’t for this inability to have an opinion on things I might have stayed with him.
Anyone else have memories of an ex that came out of the blue?
Bah. I only have one ex, and most of my memories with her are unhappy ones (she was rather manic depressive, suicidal, and violent). And for some reason, I associate the movie “Grease” with her (she was ga-ga over it).
Bah!! I gave her my fucking drawing book as a Valentine’s Day gift… what was I thinking?!?!? But that’s a thread of its own.
Funny this should come up now, for over the weekend I was reminded of a former lover. No outrageous connection: the song I seranaded her with came on as I was eating lunch with friends. Just stopped me for a minute and remembered her wonderful smile, the twinkle in her eyes and her all-round zest. It was a bit sad but left me with a warm kind of feeling thinking of her.
There’s a song that always reminds me of a long-past love every time I hear it… for the life of me, I can’t remember the song at this moment. But cut me some slack - it’s been over 20 years!! Obviously what was important to me back then no longer merits easy memory access. I do recall he was a good kisser, tho.
Now I’m going to make myself crazy trying to remember the song.
I think of one of my exes, Zorayda, every time I see knives and boots. They remind me of how she cut out my heart and stomped on it. Not that I’m bitter
Seriously, I’m reminded of Z whenever it hear songs by Duran Duran and Seal, both of whom she loved.
I also am reminded of another ex, Sarah, whenever I’m flipping through the channels and run across a B&W comedy. I’m reminded of our first date.
“Lady” by the Little River Band always make me think of a woman that I wanted as a girlfriend. The timing was never right but I did manage to be the godfather to her daughter.
The first “Stark Trek” movie reminds me of a special lady – she was the first person I dated after my divorce.
“Fantasia” also brings someone to mind. Actually, it brings TWO someones to mind. (Long story ;))
