Give it to me ... NOW
Oh man. So I see this guy walking towards my register to check out, right? And I'm thinking, gee, I think I recognize him, maybe not. So I decide to be neutral and see what he says to find out if I do. So it goes:
Me: Hi, how're you doin' today?
Him: Pretty great, thanks, you?
Ok, sounds pretty standard. I must've mistaken him for somebody else, whatev--
Him: I thought I saw you working at the Savers in Rochester. You living here now?
Me: (OH NO he does know me and I can't remember who he is) Yeah, I just transferred here a few days ago. (I hate not remembering somebody. I could say that I never forget a face, and I suppose it would be true enough, so long as you include the addendum (I just spelled that as "addendumb," which I think is sort of funny) that I sometimes forget that I haven't forgotten a face, and other times I remember only the face. It's like having a song stuck in your head and you've forgotten half of a line and it makes your brain just itch like mad to know it. Except when your brain itches for a song lyric, you just go home and google it. How do you google a face?)
Him: Oh, yeah, that's cool. You like it up here?
Me: Yeah, it's pretty sweet. Still getting used to everything. So what've you been up to? (I felt pretty clever with that one. Maybe I'll figure out who he is now!)
Him: Oh, you know. The usual. Nothing too exciting, I guess. (Or maybe not.)
And that was that. MY BRAIN WAS ITCHY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. After some pretty intense and drawn out musing, I have determined the following:
1. He probably went to Mayo, and if he didn't go to Mayo I'll never figure this out, so it had better be Mayo.
2. I think he was involved in either Journalism or TV Production. I'm leaning towards Journalism, but it may have been both.
3. His name is a dark color, and I think it's Dan. I think.
4. He graduated in '04 or '05.
And that's it. That's all I've got. I broke out the yearbooks but that's pretty slow going, considering the index is pretty shoddy work and very rarely lists all of the pictures any given person was actually in. I searched through Facebook, too, and didn't find him there, and there is no way I'm going to try tackling Myspace with only a suspicion that his first name was Dan and nothing else.
ITCH.
