The Full Story

So ... here is the full story. It's better when I'm acting it out in person, as I did for my mom & brother last not, but ... alas. Anyway.

Our stationery bike sits in the living room right next to the front windows. I had popped in my Alias Season 1 dvd (cause the techno background music makes for excellent spinning music) and was truckin' along. The blinds were halfway up, as I keep them that way during the day so i don't go claustrophobicly crazy. It was about ... 3:15? ish? Lots of traffic. So there's a side road that runs in front of the building that takes you in through the back lot of a local restaurant. Well, a [vehicle just like his] turns onto that road ... STOPS right in front of the first window. I glance back at that window cause I saw something and was like "Whaaaa???" ... then it sloooooowly creeps forward and stops again in front of the second window. The second window is where you can actually see my face, right? So they sit there and i've got this crazy confused look on my face. I slowly get off the bike and creep outta the line of sight. Now, my brother was asleep on his bed ... i ran into his room to look through his shades (cause they're closed) but i hear the [vehicle] gun it and drive off.

??????????????

I kept watching for the next 2 hours to see if he ever came back around again, but i guess he left on the other side.

Now. Questions. Was it really him? Well, I never saw his face. The sun was glaring in through that window, so I couldn't really tell (or stick around long enough to find out) but ... it was EXACTLY like his [vehicle]. Why would he have been driving through at that time of day? Who knows.

After much discussion with mom & brother, we've come to the conclusion that he couldn't actually see me. Brother walked to the front while he took a smoke last night and i got on the bike and he said he couldn't see me. Also, the last time he was ever here the place looked completely different. We had ghetto curtains barely hanging on to the windows and now we have our nice pretty white shades. Maybe he was trying to figure out if we still live here??? BUT ... brother's car was parked right in front, so he definitely saw that and definitely knows what his car looks like.

All in all, I think he was just being nosy. Is it still weird? Yes. Is it as weird as I had originally thought?? Probably not. I've always felt like if we were ever to run in to each other again, he would avoid me if at all possible and only talk to me if it was obvious i saw him or he had no choice, kwim??

Anyway. It made for a good story. ;)
