when you're a stranger

and then it hit me... that's exactly why i am here - because i have met her once before.

think of all the people you encounter in your day - not to mention your friends, family, and co-workers. but think of the clerk in the gas station; the waitress who brought your food; the people you pass on the street or in the aisles of the grocery store... now imagine - you don't recognize a single one of them. you've never seen these people before in your life. everyone is a stranger to you. and when you wake up tomorrow, you will continue to be a stranger to everyone else.

24 days of this. it's wearing on me. i need some sense of familiarity; of permanence - no matter how slight. i need to see a familiar face. it's the same reason i went back to columbia,mo hoping to run into amy again. it's the same reason i wanted to hang out with luke again in fargo. it's the same reason i am here...

unfortunately, amanda is not.
