Cherie

Aaron was friends on MySpace with my then best friend. I always saw his hilarious posts on her page and was jealous that she had awesome strangers posting awesome stuff on her MySpace page. My friend and I attended a Dresden Dolls concert a few months later and Aaron was there as well. He recognized my friend after the show and gave her a rose that the lead singer of the band had thrown at the beginning of their set. I was super jealous! I kept waiting to be introduced, or have him at least look at me, but no such luck. I was convinced that I was just the nameless attendee. I was bummed for the rest of the evening about that and I couldn't quite understand why. The very next day there was a friend request on MySpace from Aaron. We talked on MySpace for a really long time and one day he invited me to lunch on my birthday. I thought it was sweet so I agreed to let him treat me to a birthday lunch. We had a really good time. As I was headed back to school I told him, "Thank you so much for my birthday lunch!" He replied with, "It's your birthday?" I laughed because I thought he was just being funny, but then I realized that he honestly didn't know it was my birthday. I was then a little creeped out because I wouldn't have agreed to lunch if it hadn't been for my birthday. He even gave me a gift (a huge stack of burned CDs of music he thought I would like).
