I am a dork

Earlier this evening I was reading my friends blog and she was recounting her week and I realized I'm a dork (don't worry this is not a new realization, more of a reaffirmation). On Thursday I went, as usual, to play Scrabble with some friends at a local bar. While playing Scrabble I notice a young woman who looked vaguely familiar; I was fairly sure she was either someone I went to school with or worked with at the pool, in Vancouver, but I couldn't place her. Through stealthy ease-dropping I found out her name and it seem right and made me more sure that I knew her. I became more and more confident that I had worked with her, if only for a summer. I continued to occasionally glance over hoping to catch her eye, possibly she'd recognize me and say hello. Although, I did get the feeling/remembered that she was not necessarily someone I would want to say hi to, so I wasn't going to be the one to recognize her. Despite this, I did take off my glasses (I didn't have them when I was working at the pool) to see if she would recognize me. The night drew to a close, the games ended and to my growing relief, she still had not said hello. We left the bar and made our way to our homes, I gave it maybe a second or two more thought and forgot about it, thankful I didn't have to talk to her. I remembered her as being some superior athletic type, the kind who clings to high school the way wet toilet paper clings to the ceiling of a high school washroom. I really didn't think anything of it until I was reading my friends blog this evening. During me friends recount of Thursday evening she mentioned that a well known Canadian actress, Sarah Polly, had been in the bar. Of course my first though was I wonder if that woman that I knew, Sarah, had been with Sarah Polly; it's a rather small bar. So not totally remembering what Miss Polly looks like (I know, I should know these things) I IMDB-ed her and guess what............that woman that I was vaguely creepily staring at all night was someone whom I had neither gone to high school with nor worked with, it was in fact the well known Canadian actress Sarah Polly.
I AM A DORK!!!!!!!
Please feel free to point and laugh at me the next time you see me.
