So this morning, I go on facebook to see a friend of mine’s status that reads, “LINDA [last name removed] FOR HAWAII STATE REP!!!” Of course there is only one Linda [last name removed] and the friend posted it is actually a mutual friend, so I shouldn’t be so shocked, but the news still threw me.

We haven’t talked for months. I’ve made small attempts to get in touch with her, but after that apology email I sent to her, she’s never written back to me. I’ve been wondering what I did wrong, which I know is pointless, but it’s been eating at me. And it’s like the more time has passed, the more I need to know what I did wrong. I’m not sure if it’s because I want to be on better terms with her or just because I want to be on better terms with most people.

Anyway, so I tried to be polite and ask my friend when she’s running and all that stuff and just now I got this lengthy mass email about Linda running for office and why I should vote for her. Went over her background and where she went to school and I felt…weird. I was overwhelmed with memories of us: her graduation, visiting her at Georgetown, moving to DC, going to her graduation, and then eventually coming back home. Her background was summarized in like three sentences and it made me feel strange. She had told me once she wanted to run for public office and imagined me in the crowd cheering her on.

At the end of the mass email, it said I could email her at her new, professional email address (I guess it was time to shed coffeeshoplinda, since it was a reference to her being a coffee shop lesbian) and I could send contributions to “Friends of Linda [last name removed]” to a PO box in the same zipcode as where I live.
