Wrong name, or, maybe I won't be bending over in that maid costume for that guy
So at some point in the earlier four of the last five years or so, I had the weirdest interaction with someone with whom I was at the time tenuously socially acquainted in person. It went weirdly and not well. It extended over what had to be at least a year, and culminated in use of the wrong name.
In getting to know Purple, we have both been sharing stuff from our various histories, and this was a thing that came up. A monoculture is rarely a good thing, and Purple brings more diversity to my group of friends; it's very interesting to see some of his reactions in contrast with some of my usual crowd.
( What happened at that time, and my subsequent discussion with Purple )
I predict a certain amount of ... processing? Post-processing? in my life, as random things re-surface in various discussion with Purple, especially things that I thought I was over, but the new perspective has caused me to re-visit. Since very few topics have been off-limits to date, it's not all going to be easy stuff. Gods only know what sorts of horrorterrors lurk in his past! (I suspect I've met a few of them, but those are his business if he wants to share, not mine.)
