Ghosts usually turn up in the oddest places. But this time, I suppose you could say it was my fault. If I hadn't been such a busybody, none of it would have happened.
Although, in my defense, we were told that the ghost wasn't there. Only when we entered said place did we find out that we had gotten the facts wrong and the ghost WAS there. The waitress (?) had meant that the FATHER of the ghost wasn't there. Bah.
Oh lordy! Was I in hot soup! So I sat with my back towards the waiters and sure enough, he didn't recognize us... Until my mum called him over. Oh heavens! Funny thing was, he didn't recognize HER, until he looked up and saw me and he was like, "Oh! You I remember!" I still can't quite figure out whether that's a good or bad thing.
It was an extremely odd night, to say the least. To the un-informed, said ghost is the guy I had a massive crush on 8 years ago. For the record, I was 10 and he was 16. Hilarious scenario? Trying topping it with the fact that he (and everyone who knew us both) was aware of it. Disaster in the making - for me, at least.
But should pity me a bit la... 10 year old kid with teenage hormones. How to handle la? Besides, he was the only available guy to have a crush on (as in not my age .. :P). Anyway, justifications aside, I really made a fool of myself at the time. Gah.
Now, though, he looked more uncomfortable than I felt! It's odd, really. But then again, if I were him, I wouldn't exactly relish the thought of seeing me again. Hehe. If that made any sense. Unwanted attention = the worst kind of attention. Poor guy. I don't blame him at all for anything that he said or did at the time. I probably would have done worse, roles reversed.
The experience was interesting for what it was. I now know that I can look directly at him without turning into a ripe tomato. I guess the 8 years of "experience" has made me able to handle awkward guy situations. Haha. It could also be due to the fact that he doesn't intimidate me anymore. Also that the girly crush has flown off somewhere far away too.
I also got a sort-of invitation to "bring your mum for lunch here sometime".
Maybe I might just take him up on that offer. Just for kicks. Hehe.

8 yrs ago. Wow!
The only chasing around I did at the age of 10 was running after a soccer ball. And the only crushes I had was the kind after the defender had tackled and fallen on me.
