so i got a note from Facebook earlier tonight. turns out the guy who used to beat me up in elementary school (and tried in junior high, but i learned to fight back*) found me online + wants to be my friend...
the nice thing about Facebook friend requests, is that it lets you take a quick peak at their profile (as you can see above). so what do i do? part of is relieved to find that he grew up into the stereotype i assumed he would turn in to. part of me is proud of the person i turned into, even though i had idiots like this guy bullying me around in those awkward years. and part of me says, "ah screw it, why not."
what would you do?
*not really, i just learned to disappear/blend in, and had other, cooler friends to keep me out of trouble.
on a related note. my buddy megan sent me this, which i'm sure many of you have already seen:
I luv that video. "He's writing on your wall, 'Hey dickhead!'"
ReplyDeletethat's funny. all of my bullies are on myspace.
ReplyDeleteI hope he doesn't check your blog hah
ReplyDeletePerhaps ready to apologize? I actually ran into one of the guys that made my life HELL from 6th-8th grade about a year ago @ a bar. He came up to me and apologized for everything and said he's realized how much of an ass he was. I have great respect for him now - even though he put me through that.
