Funny the things you remember…
Marching band was a big deal for me in high school. We worked hard at
it, we had fun, and sometimes we absolutely sucked anyway.
I
remember after one performance we were walking by the opposing teams
crowd and a guy stopped me and said “That was really great! Just
awesome!”. Out of breath from the show but elated for the complement I
told him thank you very much, grinning from ear to ear. About ten
steps later I realized he was being sarcastic. I realized because of
the uproarious laughter that surrounded him as I walked away. He
didn’t mean it at all, and I hadn’t even realized it until I had helped
him out with his joke. It made me cry, I hid behind my hair.
I guess I’m sensitive, but I still remember it distinctly.…
Random thoughts from high school I guess…
Just had weird school dreams last night, I guess that’s what made me think of it.
