During my recent trip to Lincoln for the anime convention, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing a few people, one in particular. I had hoped he would recognize me. He had been a good friend when I lived there, and we shared in a few things we did not share with many others. We both have what I would call personality splits… it is as though another person is living inside of your head. Actually, one might say -I- am the split, the second, but more on that another day. I am one of the very few people who knew of the alternate name he used for his split, and nearly all of the details of how it came about. We were both very busy, but it still hurt whenever we crossed paths and said little more then hello. At one point I thought he gave me a look of recognition, but I suppose not. When I returned home, I found his profile on facebook and sent him a message telling him I had hoped for a chance to speak at the convention but one never came. He did not remember me. I gave him detail of how we met, but still, it was no good. I should have expected as much… and I cannot bring myself to mention the exact circumstances under which we had known each other. Even knowing the name he used for his split, which it made him curious, it did not give him any clue as to who I am.On the positive side at least, we are talking and being friendly. At one part I started to think he was flirting with me but I am certain I was mistaken. Perhaps it will come in time… I may only hope.
