Man, has it really been SIX years since Marissa and I said goodbye? It doesn't seem that long thinking back. Time flies when you're out there wooing in them streets.
Here's a rundown of the thread, as well as some hindsight commentary as I see people's comments.
1. Sweet Marisa. Sigh. The thread inspiration that started it all with just a plate of cookies delivered by her sweet little daughter. Well, we didn't talk much after her last mention in this thread. I probably still had some feelings for her if I'm being honest with myself, but about a year-1.5 year after we said goodbye she ended up getting married and moving a couple of hours away. Have had zero contact with her, and that's probably the way it needs to stay. She probably didn't ever have any genuine love for me. She probably just appreciated me being kind to her and her girls. I realize this now. Live and learn.
2. People chastised the #### out of me for not revealing more details about Marisa, acting like Google didn't exist. Maybe they were less experienced Googlers than myself, but if I had disclosed what people were asking me for, she would've been easily Google-able. Enough said.
3. I miss

4. Unnamed dental hygienist: (the first girl after Marisa); I was right in that something was off there. I would later find out that she was still hung up on her on/off again BF who she ended up marrying, subsequently divorcing and is now dating again.
She wasn't great at conversation anyway. Crisis averted there.
5. As I read through some of the "predictions" of this thread, I realize I was right more often than I was wrong, and actually had a pretty good read on most of these situations (hindsight 20/20 and all that). I guess this is a subtle
to a few commenters in here from back then, who probably aren't even here any more
6. I realize now that it was a separate thread where I chronicled the other stuff. Been too long and I had forgotten, thinking it was all in this thread. So I'm actually done now.

@cstu is still a ####
