i have a doppleganger

yesterday i was riding my bike to king soopers and stopped at a red light. another guy my age on a bike stopped and said hi. i asked if we had met a corner back last week. he said no, we met on the bus. i said uh, i never ride the bus. he said yeah, me met me on the bus to longmont. i say no, i never went to longmont. he said yeah, you were on the bus to longmont to see my parents. i said sorry but my parents live in greeley and fort collins. the light turned green for him and as he confusedly rode away he called back "do you have an identical twin?"

so i have a doppleganger somewhere here in boulder.

something that struck me though...when i told him "i never ride the bus," which is true, i caught my eyes looking to the side and i felt weird, as if i were lying. which made me think, what if i DO ride the bus but it's always as some alternate personality? that would be bizarre. but considering i don't sleep much and i am pretty well aware of what i'm doing all the time, i find that scenario unlikely.

but how exciting would that be?!
