The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
That was what a fella who was being introduced to me at Galliwasp's house last night said, the moment he set eyes on me. So I'm thinking that maybe he saw my picture in the Gleaner publication Hospitality Jamaica, or maybe he has seen me at cricket.
Anyway, he went inside to get food, came back out very confident of where he knew my face from. "I know where it's from.......the #67 bus".
Shock and horror! I was stumped, really I was. Do you know that I last took a 67 bus in 1985 when I was in Upper Sixth?
We discussed where he would get off and that the 67 bus was a real social gathering. There would be girls from St Hugh's, boys and girls from Wolmers', occasionally some George's boys, and Campion College girls and boys. So at end of school time on a week day, the bus would have pure schoolers. Everybody would be chatting, and you'd say 'hi' to whoever was coming on to the bus because you knew them. Nice lime.
Last night, some of the people there were saying that the fact that he remembered me from OVER 20 YEARS AGO!!!! could either be looked at as a positive thing or not so positive thing. Of course I am choosing the positive thing....that I've kept myself so well and stress free, that I look as young as I did 20 years ago.
I mentioned the other such incident in the Pegasus a couple months ago? Did I? Well, I am walking down the lobby and a girl passes me and says "Hi Michelle", so I say "hi" back, very enthusiastically of course. Then, because I really didn't know who she was, I said "could you remind me of your name please". She told me, but it still did not ring a bell. Unashamed, I asked "remind me from where again....the ole brain not working so well these days". She laughed and said "from St George's Primary".
Sh*t!! I left there in 1977. That is 28 years ago! Then she says to me "you haven't changed one bit Michelle".
Yeah. Still plump. But at least I'm not so overweight that them don't recognize me.
Posted by yamfoot at October 21, 2005 11:44 PMWell Yammy you must be the nicest person on earth. The fact that you were remembered by classmates or schoolmates from so long ago means that you were probably very nice to these ppl when most others were not. Something you did touched them and it usually unexpected kindness that creates such positive lasting memories.
That is my take on it.
Posted by: Dekkah at October 22, 2005 07:20 PMwhy thank you!
I was wondering if the guy was secretly 'eyeing' me all those years and was hesitant in making a move!
I try to live good with people because I always feel that I never know when I am going to meet them up again, and in what capacity. And I'm a Libran, which means, according to the zodiac bizniz that I'm a harmonizer, non-confrontational etc etc.
