Remember that Chris kid I talked about that was really really into Sonic (he wanted to *be* Sonic, which, hey, I'm not going to get hung up on that personally) and was highly awkward making it difficult for me and my future brother-in-law to befriend or hang out with?

Well, I found a picture of me and him sitting next to each other at my cousin's wedding. This was the last time I ever saw him. Needless to say I'm the one in white, he's the one in blue. This was a couple years later.

I was even more unimpressed with the Power Rangers-loving doofus that I didn't even shake his hand when he extended it to politely say goodbye. He rubbed the wrong way even more this time, probably saying something, and I was done.

I've never been one to be bound to faux politeness, even when I was like 15 or whatever, so why I expect it now? lol My paternal grandmother complained I was rude, and my mother (the one I inherited my conflict non-aversion from) was like, "if Asher was rude, he had a reason," and that was that.
