Doppelganger and reflections

Okay, this is kind of freaking me out.  Random people I have never met before keep saying hi and waving to me.  First this girl saw me through my window one night and waved to me, I kept looking at her dumbfounded.  The next day some guy waves to me and I slightly wave back.  I looked behind me to see if he was waving to someone else, he wasn't.  A bunch of servers and cashiers at Oceanview Terrace keep saying, "weren't you here earlier?" or "didn't I tell you to get your card replaced?"  Then this big Asian guy today said hey what's up to me near Geisel Library even though I never met him before.  I simply gave him a confused look and said hi back.  Is there someone on campus who looks exactly like me?  Really odd stuff is going on.

I've been reflecting back a bit today.  I realize that the relationships I have with others aren't as deep as I want is because I'm the one to push them away.  If I had actually let go of my hatred and vengefulness, Phoebe and I would have had lunch and be closer and this whole avoidance bullshit wouldn't have happened.  The situation with Mazza is a lot more complicated.  If I wasn't so damn weird during the summer when I was living with him, maybe he and I would be closer friends.  Maybe.  He is pretty introverted so I don't know.  I still wish I was closer with my friends in high school.  They wanted me to get on AIM to chat or hang out, but I was too afraid due to the damn anxiety.  And of course with Katherine, sigh, she and I could have been... something.  Looking at the past, I now see my mistakes, hopefully I can change for the future.  Hopefully.  Clean slate, tabula rasa.
