my line<\/a>.<\/p>\nHowever,<\/p>\n
Here,<\/p>\n
There was a need for me to not only associate with someone from my past,<\/p>\n
But in this case,<\/p>\n
It was fairly important for the comfort of others that I not do anything to reveal the fact that I used to sleep with Joe.<\/p>\n
I really didn’t expect to pull it off.<\/p>\n
As this was a setting where I should have been recognized …<\/p>\n
In a heartbeat:<\/p>\n
One<\/i>, it required significant, and moderately prolonged, face to face interaction with people that knew Joe;<\/p>\n
Two<\/i>, it was in a setting where it wouldn’t be unexpected to see Joe; and,<\/p>\n
Three<\/i>, there was a huge, huge recognition by name association risk.<\/p>\n
Phucking huge.<\/p>\n
Anyways,<\/p>\n
To make a long story short …<\/p>\n
I pulled it off.<\/p>\n
Even after, for my own amusement, I tossed out one of Joe’s most infamous, annoying behavioral traits …<\/p>\n
Just to see how much I could get away with doing.<\/p>\n
I’m incredibly geeked about it …<\/p>\n
Not for my sake,<\/p>\n
‘Cause seriously,<\/p>\n
Do I really need anything to encourage me to get myself out and about even more ??<\/p>\n
I think not. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Nope,<\/p>\n
I’m geeked because I’m really glad I was able to do a nice holiday gesture,<\/p>\n
Without offending or making others uncomfortable in the process.<\/p>\n
Sweet !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Oh,<\/p>\n
And as far as Joe’s most infamous, annoying behavioral trait goes …<\/p>\n
He used to chew on straws and coffee stirrers constantly.<\/p>\n
By the way …<\/p>\n
Holiday cards are in the mail,<\/p>\n
So those of you that expressed an interest in receiving one …<\/p>\n
You might actually receive it before Christmas,<\/p>\n
Though it’ll be close !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
