you've been on my mind today.
on Saturday at a party I met a boy
who happened to be from Lafayette
first thing he said to me when we were introduced was
"So did you know Jon Sisto?"
A knife in my stomach.
Need I go over the chronicles of our friendship?
A couple of tidbits for myself so I'll never forget:
-Latin Club was a major bonding activity for us. He called me "Dolus". Means "trick" in Latin. Thanks butthead.
-I would always steal his blue baseball cap and grey sweatshirt. He had the most amazing natural smell-girls would constantly steal his clothing.
-He had the hairiest legs of any guy I've ever met. Seriously needed a weedwacker.
-He was always suffering from a broken leg, arm, etc.
-He and I chose my AOL screen name which I never use anymore. "Pixie", because well I'm a munchkin and "Picara" a spanish word for bohemian.
-We kissed once.
-We had a falling out before his death. We were in the process of making up the day he died. I was recording my demo and we were going to listen to it later.
-I still have your "Songs to Die To" mix. Every time I hear any of the songs out of context, I have to leave the room.
I wish that seeing you in the hospital attaching to a breathing machine wasn't the last image I have preserved in my mind. I still remember looking at your hairy-ass fucking legs, still warm. I promised you I would take care of Halie. I have kept that promise and will continue to. You are constantly in my thoughts. I miss you everyday.
I'm telling my parents on Friday about my plans. Looking more and more like Thailand is a viable option although Peru would be a first time trip.
Reminiscing....
