At lunch yesterday I was standing in line with one of Mariam's friends. We were exchanging pleasantries when she turns to me and says, "I'm sorry, I know we see each other all the time and say hi but what is your name again?"
For once I felt socially superior because I knew her name was Rose and she didn't know my name was Adrienne. So, I told her my name and then we went to a table and sat down to eat our lunch.
On the LaGrange College website they feature three students every month on the main page. This month one of those students was Rose so I decided to tell her that I saw her being featured on the web site.
This is where it got awkward.
She says, "That's not me, that's Rose."
I think, "If you're not Rose who are you?" but of course, at this point she already asked me for my name and I acted like i knew her name so it would be too awkward for me to ask now so I just try to play it off commenting on how similar they both look and that I should have looked at the feature closer...
For the rest of lunch she kept up with saying my name.
Adrienn, what do you feel about this? Adrienne, what did you do this weekend? etc. etc.
I on the other hand awkwardly refrained from using names.
