It all started 10 holy crap…really years ago. I was at a high school graduation my senior
year in a massive event center, I looked to my right and about 2 sections over
I made eye contact with a girl that made me think I was looking in a
mirror. I kid you not, I was in such
shock that I could not stop staring at her.
I’m sure she thought I was a freak but this girl looked EXACTLY like me.
Once or twice a year throughout college I would get phone
calls from people wanting to know why I didn’t say hi when they saw me at a
place I had never been or where I was going when I passed them on the road
while I was magically still in my bed. I
even got an angry phone call from my mother when I was 19 or 20 because some
guys that worked for my dad swore to him they saw me at some trashy bar in a
town a didn’t live in or even visit that often.
Its hard to convince people its not you when the person looks exactly
like you.
Over the last 2 years the encounters people in my life have
been having with this girl have gotten more frequent and I’ve been mistaken for
her on several occasions as well. I can
only assume I am being mistaken for the girl that is being mistaken for me. Let me also note that the sighting of this
mystery girl always occur in a 10 mile radius an hour from where I grew up.
One and a half years ago I bought a harvest moon color VW
Beetle convertible (biggest mistake of my life, judge me later). That’s when things really started to get
weird. I have been led to believe that
my twin also drives this same car. When I drove that thing the amount of pissed
off people that I ignored when they “waved at me” tripled. Aubrey and Erin (cousins to S and me who
lived with us at the time) were visiting their mom and passed “me” waving and
called me immediately to find out where I was going. The real me was tucked up
into bed watching Gossip Girl but that was the point that I knew there really
was a girl running around town tricking people.
A few short weeks after that happened I was leaving a place
with my mother in the same 10 mile radius and a truck swerved over in front of
me in a parking lot and starting laughing and waving as he rolled down his
window. He pulled up next to me to chat
and I just stared at him. It took him a
second and his eyes got quite large and he apologized because he thought I was
someone else.
I hadn’t heard much about this girl in a while until last
night. A distant cousin of my mom’s posted this on my facebook wall:
I thought “ah…she’s still alive.”
Then today my best friend in this world besides S of course,
who would know me just by seeing my shadow sent me this:
At least my boobs are bigger.
Does this happen to other people???
