linds7384. . . well, I will admit right here and now that I did not get to know this young woman nearly as well as I should have. I wish that I would have gotten to know everyone in my graduating class better, but I just never got around to it. You all know how it is; you have a group of people you associate closely with and you never really get to know the people outside it terribley well.
However, fret not linds7384 because I do have the faint trappings of what could be called “memories” involving you. I remember a New Year’s party at your house, though I do not remember the year. I do remember there was good food, that I once again felt horribly single at midnight, and afterwards I watched an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation with your parents.
I also remember when you and a certain best friend of mine were dating (the first round) and the three of us went to see “Armageddon” at the Hardacre. Remember that? You cried and cried when Ben Affleck drew the short straw, and I went to the restroom to get you tissue for your tears. On the way back my shoulder hit one of the lights along the wall, and the sudden noise caused an older woman to spill her drink onto her husband’s lap. Oops. But, nevertheless I brought you something to dry your face with. And hey, whaddya know? He got to live! (Sorry if I ruined the end for anyone who hasn’t seen it…)
Other than those two memories I can only recall snapshots of times in band, both in the band room and on the field during the football season. Ladies and gentlemen of Xanga, I will tell you right here and now that during my three year stretch as drum major, we had a darn good-looking flag girl squad, and linds7384 was a part of it. So was JonsiJ now that I think about it.
There you go linds7384. Consider yourself memorized. And congrats on your impending marriage! Woot!
hehe. I said ‘woot.’ I am SO hip.

My memory of linds7384 was “I’m having a senior moment!” Miss you girl and congrats on your upcoming marriage! All the best sweety!!!:)
so VERY hip.
Thanks!! I will never forget seeing that movie with you two. I was mad at your friend because he just sat there and let me ball my eyes out, but you were the gentleman and got me tissues (or toilet paper, but that’s not the point). I never knew the story about the lady and her drink. Well, I guess I could have known that, but I have a horrible memory! My parents are funny. I don’t think I knew about the Star Trek thing either. I used to watch reruns of that show like everyday. How crazy! Thanks for the memories! They brighten my day. But I should get going, I need to get in the shower for my job today. Take care!

Well, I’m back. I’m no longer Lady_Mother but it’s still me.
alright, third times a charm! I have to agree with Browneyedgirl that my recollection of Linds is that quote. It’s sort of sad that quote will be accurate next year as well for us. I’m sort of shocked that four years has gone by so quickly.
The only other memory I have of Linds is having her in an Algebra II class sometime in high school, with Lindsey Fonteyne, Billy Hoffman and a few others. It was a really interesting class overall. Have a great week, and sorry if this posts more than once… I’ve been trying to get it to post all day, and it hasn’t each time I’ve tried.
I’m talking to the person who was in the theater with us, and he reminded me that I had a death grip on his hand at the time, so he was unable to get me tissues. But you were still a gentleman for getting them for me. Most people wouldn’t be so considerate! And I still stick to the quote. But it was a fun time. An ironic thing is that I’m not even going to my college graduation because it is the day after I get married. And after being out of school for eight months it doesn’t really matter to me anymore…but as they say…”we’ll always have paris!” (is that the saying? I’ve never been to paris, so I guess it doesn’t really matter!)
It’s time for my bedtime!! Night!
The “We’ll always have Paris” is from Casablanca I believe.
I am sad that I did not get an artwork, although the Riddler seems to suit me well. Thanks, Jake
At least you aren’t a shady tree! what is that, jake?! Is that all that reminds you of me?
I’m hurt!
you didn’t insult me…just had to give you a bit of crap about it!!
Where’s the update.
