"don't underestimate yourself. your social skills are needed by others at this time."
going to eat chinese food is always a good idea when you're not hungry. i figured it was 2 o'clock and i probably needed to eat so i walked my ass down to the chinese buddha about 3 blocks away. my waiter and i recognized one another at the same time...it took us a few seconds, but i realized i was staring at J, an old friend of S's . J, S and I hung out from time to time back when Steven and I were together.
J's English is not so great (he's Chinese), but he's such a sweet guy. I remember S and I took him to a Halloween party at Compound one year. He had a blast! He was mesmerized by the entire experience.
Anyway, J and I just kinda stared at one another for awhile until he broke the awkward silence by saying "long time no see! steven's friend yes?" to which i laughed awkwardly and said "ex girlfriend, yes, Lola". Ugh.
Needless to say, running into your ex-boyfriend's buddy doesn't do much for your appetite - so I didn't really eat my General Tso. J, being the good dude he is, gave me two cokes for the road and about 30 fortune cookies.
