Kryptonite

Unashamedly I admit that I love comic books. No I have not been to the Comic Con, but I do hope to someday be so lucky. My favorite hero happens to be Thor, but that is another subject for another day. Superman does happen to be pretty cool, I mean he can fly, something I'd definitely like to be able to do without an airplane, he can pick up a building, he can reflect bullets with his manly pecks, and he can pretty much do whatever he wants. That is of course as long as you don't happen to have a little shiny green rock. For a man who can do everything, I find it kind of lame that a geologist's dream come true, is the great downfall of the Man of Steel. I digress though, this post is not actually about Superman, but about kryptonite, my kryptonite.
I find it strange that I am sharing such personal information, since I generally try to avoid such open displays of me on the internet, but hopefully my writing is such that you still don't really know HA take that social engineers. Once again I digress.
I once had a roommate for almost four and a half months, and to say the least, I don't have the greatest love for this man. I don't remember specifics, but in thinking back on that time I just feel like I was belittled more than what should have been. Normally I am pretty good at letting things go, but for some reason I have a hard time getting over him. Whenever I see him, I walk the other way to avoid conversation (real mature of me I know). I was at a function last night where he happened to be as well. He actually organized the thing, but the function was in fact something I wanted to attend, I just didn't want to see him. A friend of mine also went and when he saw my dreaded ex-roommate, my friend told his wife, "You see that guy? He is Andrew's kryptonite." In thinking about it, I find that statement really true. It is really lame and unfortunate that I let something so insignificant like the past affect me in such a profound way. There is a happy ending to this miserable confession of mine though. Mr. Kryptonite and I inevitably did end up coming face to face, and I was able to say hello. Very big of me I know, but hey Superman has problems with a rock, this is a human so I feel pretty good.
