Now there is something you have to understand about MzNewy : I was homely looking in middle and high school...
Umm yeah I was the nerdy studious chic with the big glasses that sat in the front of the class. So what tumbled out of his mouth next sent me into a fit of giggles. He said I had a crush on you back in school. I couldn't help it this was me at his revelation ----> 
For real....I know what I looked like back then. I was a late bloomer. I then asked him if he needed those coke-bottle glasses I used to wear. But you know, he said some things that he remembered about me from waaaaaaaaaaaay back then that the only way he would have paid that much attention was if he WAS crushing me. 
Wow...who knew. That just goes to show you never know WHOSE type you are, even when you are homely looking. Here is to 1986, to a simple place in time when music was music and the shy kid in the back of the class had a crush on the nerd in the front.

Now that was sweet an i'm sure quite surprising! I was cracking up over the animation, so appropiate!
ReplyDeleteThat's too cute! And I can relate to being a late bloomer. I didn't really come into my own until I got to college. Lord, Lord, Lord... when I think back on what I looked like in middle and high school, I can only shake my head.
ReplyDeleteAh cute story. I'm sure it made you smile didn't it?
ReplyDeleteYeah back in the 80s things were coming into shape, but I wasn't there AT ALL. I would get some random guy here or there that would speak or say hi. Then I would run home and write it in my diary..."Oh, Olumidae spoke to me!" "Or Melvin looked at me!" But I never felt that I was could compete with those popular chicks. In fact I saw Ms. Popular on The Game last week. I was like wow. Will high school ever go away?
I guess it goes to say that everybody is somebody's type. The hard part is that you hope y'all cross paths one day....
