heeeeeere's jme

You know you've been living away from your hometown too long when you have a dream that you are waiting for a friend for lunch, and you run into random idiots from high school and you talk to them briefly. They say, "hey, it's jme."

And when you wake up, you realize how awesome and weird was that to run into someone who knows you by your first name! It's been literally FOREVER since I saw someone randomly who knew me by anything other than Mrs. Fieldpea. Which is not only weird in that you're referred to constantly by your "teacher name" but also weird because, in essence, Fieldpea isn't even the name that half the people you've met in your life know you by. It's really weird to live somewhere where NO ONE knows you as your birt name.
