Strange conversation.

I had the strangest conversation today.
I spoke to someone on the bus for 10 minutes.
Not knowing that person's name.

Though I knew who she was, (an ex's friend's wife) but talking to her was grossly awkward.
Not that I had much of a choice.
The previous time I bumped into her, I made a small wave and hurried off in the opposite direction.
But this time, I was accidentally seated next to her on the bus. That is, I didn't even see her until I sat down and realise she was staring at me.

I tried my best to smile and be friendly.
But.. I think I just came across as very insincere.
Perhaps I really wasn't interested in talking to her.
But, it truly just felt weird.
Maybe I am just not that friendly.

I don't call my boyfriend by his name.
We've known each other for a year now.
And never once did I address him by his name.
It was always some moniker given to him.. (by me).
So much so the other day, when I was collecting my gown, dad said to me: "the three people attending the ceremony, its your mother and me. I don't think Levina (my sis) can go. So I think its better to ask Jansen"
I blinked blankly at him. It took me awhile to realise, Jansen is actually the Fat Sissy (his newest name).
