conman.

I remember finding out that you were a convicted felon in the most nonchalant way. We had dated casually--a little on and off, both when we were "off" of our "real" relationships. And as of late, we had gotten closer. We started talking regularly on the phone--actually getting to know eachother versus just for fun and party time. And one night, as we talked late at night, I asked what you were doing the next day. You replied that you would be doing community service all day. In my naiveness, I immediately imagined you sitting around a table with minority children or building a house with Habitat for Humanity. When I asked where and what your volunteer project entailed, I remember you laughing awkwardly into the phone...no, no, no, you had said. And then you told me that you weren't exactly volunteering; you were actually doing court ordered community service. You were actually on probation for a felony you had committed a couple years prior. You had already done 3 months jail time. and that was when I judged you.
