I guess she never moved out of that tiny town, and never made it past the 80s. She had hair high enough that birds could nest in it, thick black eyeliner, and, of all things, a leopard-print short dress with hooker boots. she requested Ozzy's "Flying High Again" for me at the wedding - and I did *not* need that public dedication!! so, I don't wonder too much :)<BR/>-----------<BR/>and<BR/>oops! I wasn't ready for the unveiling Jess! (damn cookies!) Oh well, cat's out of the bag ;) I'm glad that pic made you laugh. It reminded me of the bicycle streamers too! I luv him anyway, even if he still hates my guts. I look at that picture and get the giggles, and I would do that no matter what the situation. I think I still own a matching bandana...

I've forgotten some of their last names, which is too bad, because I've thought about contacting a few of them. And then on occasion one contacts me. Out of the blue the other day I received an email from a friend I had in elementary school. We wrote back and forth a few times, and it was crazy to see how much our lives diverged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19050282.post-1139798884002799022006-02-12T20:48:00.000-06:002006-02-12T20:48:00.000-06:00LOL!!!

I was "Fless."<BR/><BR/>And yes, they were all named Jody. It was weird; if they didn't leave their last names when they called, I'd have to call them all. Sadly, I've forgotten two of their maiden surnames and now the married last name of Up North Jody.

When I left the very small Southern town where we both lived and went on to college, I never looked back to either the town or the friend. I did see her once after that, though, when she and a friend were coming through Chapel Hill, NC to see a show. They stopped by to visit, but they were total neo-hippies and total snobs about it. Very dumb. So no, I guess I don't really wonder much. Hmmm, guess that sounds sorta cynical, but I'm afraid that's the story.Sugarmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425625624997484305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19050282.post-1139795137412096922006-02-12T19:45:00.000-06:002006-02-12T19:45:00.000-06:00I had a good friend Jodi - and I do wonder.
