2024-11-19 “Not Like That” by Emma (born 1861)

Well, I got a few things to tell… talk about in this post.

First off, I’ve had a comment or two direct about me taking Merritt from Hannah. Well, you should know Hannah don’t see it like that. We talked late last night, and she said she was sorry for pushing me and Devon together, that she should have realized what she was doing.

She tol’ me that she was glad for her time with Merritt and that she never figured out what was missing. I tol’ her about what Addison said to me about my girl parts not tingling and Hannah laughed.

She said, “Well, it wasn’t exactly that! But something was missing, and I’m sure it will be different with you and him”

So, me and her are not sore with each other in any way.

Now, somethin’ else happened. It was last night when we were all having that spaghetti I made. Jacob brought up about us not knowing where those what shifted to 1984 were doing and wondered if we could find them in 2024. So we were talking about that.

Then I made a comment. “You know, I wonder if each version of us is just a different instance of the same person. Like when you start up a new instance of a video game or something?”

Jacob looked at me and then around the room. “When did you learn about computer instances?”

I got scared then. Thing is, I don’t know anything about them. ‘Least I didn’t. I can’t say I’ve played on a video game more than a few hours total since I come to 2024.

So, somehow, something got in my head, and Kent sort of guessed it might be from Emma-2005 and when me and Merritt were swooning on Sunday it came to my head proper. 

Then I ‘membered about seeing my makeup that first time I unpacked my backpack back on July 4 and knowing how to use it, even though I didn’t never have anything like it in 1880. We talked about that and ended up just shaking our heads, ‘cause we don’t understand all this, and it’s scary.

But it ended up funny, ‘cause Merritt said he wished some of what Merritt-2000 knows would come to him properly, too! 

Thanks for reading and supporting me! I’m grateful.
