Person #1:
When I first moved to Bloomington Star Wars Galaxies hit stores, man was I excited I love star wars and this game was chance to live out my nerd/geek fantasy of living in the Star Wars galaxy. While playing I met a guy in the game, he and I became fast friends, we would go on missions together, hook each other up with loot and things we needed for the game, set up a camp and just talk and more. He told me he was working on becoming a pilot; it was a dream of his, and he was well on his way to becoming one. As he became more and more involved in his studies we lost touch, I never found out if he made his dream come true or not.
Person #2:
When I wasn’t playing Galaxies, or attempting to learn something in class, I was at work. I met a lot of people at work including a guy who I would become roommates with and for a while my best friend down there. One guy I met I really hit it off with, we had a lot in common, and we always seem to have intelligent, constantly flowing conversations. We were both interested in computers, and gaming I mentioned I was playing Galaxies and if he played as well. He said he didn’t because he became obsessed with Everquest for a while and had no desire to go down that road as well. I had become addicted to Galaxies: a fact my roommate pointed out when I was making fun of people for playing it too much. I asked him about his addiction to Everquest and how he handled it, ‘I just stopped playing’ was his answer, and he urged me to the same: ‘just delete your account, uninstall it and move on’ and that is what I did, I didn’t miss it one bit. I told him of my victory over the game, and thanked him for his advice. We always had such good conversations, which was rare in a college town known mostly for its partying. I don’t remember if he was a student, I think he was a couple of years older than me, when I switched shifts I didn’t see that much, but I saw Person #3 who worked in the same department . It’s just one of those things you just wonder what the person is up to now.
Person #3:
This time it is a female, and like I mentioned before she worked in the department as Person #2. She was smart, pretty, witty, and was a bit of a nerd. We talked about life, relationships (at the time we both just got out of relationships), books, etc. I always sensed we had good chemistry but at the time I didn’t think she would be a good fit for me (now she would be great, but not when I was 20), so when a co-worker asked me about her I rudely replied back I felt comfortable talking to her right away we just had a good rapport (a lot like with Person #2 but this one had boobs), I think she was a couple of years older than me too, and me being 19-20 at the time I sometimes hard a hard time hiding my immaturity, but I think you will be hard pressed to find someone that age who didn’t. ‘I am not looking for anyone right now’, I never figured out if the co-worker asked me on her own, or did the other girl ask her to ask about it. Shortly after that things with my roommate went to hell and I moved out and back to Indianapolis rather abruptly, I think I said goodbye to her and maybe traded numbers but I don’t think I did anything with it.
I know I am feeling nostalgic about old times but these three people had an impact on my time there and I am just curious to see what they are up too, and what they have been doing. Just one of those stupid things, you know?
Maybe I will get lucky and one of them (or all 3) will see this and send me a message. Chances are they won't and thats OK, I just hope wherever they are the are happy.
Next post: Always the Boyscout. (that is unless i change my mind or forget to update this thing for another 6 months)
