Syndrome"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b>September 18, 1996<\/b> (Megan is 15)<\/p>\n<p>The G.A.P. syndrome has struck.  (In case I&#8217;ve never explained this, G.A.P. stands for Guys Are Pathetic, it&#8217;s a &#8220;theory&#8221; N and I have come up with.)  I&#8217;d decided I should talk to F at the next possible chance.  We had a quiz in History yesterday, and there was the perfect topic&#8211;ask him how he thought he&#8217;d done.  I didn&#8217;t get a chance to talk to him during History, but then that afternoon, while I was going from Math to Geography, he ended up right next to me walking down the hall.  He didn&#8217;t notice me though, or even look at me, so at first I said nothing, but eventually I convinced myself to speak.  I said &#8220;hey&#8221; but he didn&#8217;t hear me.  So I repeated myself and, feeling rather pathetic, sort of waved my hand in front of his face to get his attention.  He still didn&#8217;t notice!  I don&#8217;t know where in heck he was but it wasn&#8217;t in that hallway, that&#8217;s for sure.  So, now knowing that I did not exist, I went on to Geography (he&#8217;d turned down a flight of stairs) and was grouchy for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I&#8217;ve given up on him.  If he is so out of it he doesn&#8217;t notice when someone&#8217;s hand is in front of his face (and I felt so stupid after that too), I don&#8217;t want to deal with it.  I have this feeling he&#8217;d be B all over again, and I think I&#8217;ve had enough of that for a lifetime.  Perhaps I&#8217;m being harsh, but I just can&#8217;t handle liking someone who most of the time will act like I&#8217;m not there (even if not purposely).  It would shatter everything I&#8217;ve come to stand for.  So f*** that, move on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?p=26\">An Introduction to Flashbacks<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?p=29\">The Flashback Cast<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?page_id=242\">The Flashback Timeline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 18, 1996 (Megan is 15) The G.A.P. syndrome has struck.
