Did you ever notice that as time passes, some things fade out of your life? Some of those things are things you don't want to keep around (strep throat, alcoholic boyfriends, stuff like that), but some of it, when you think about it later, makes you smile.
1. "Neil's Dad!!": Fighting Sioux Hockey Season 07-08. Riding the fan bus from Overtime. Once we realized that the bus driver was the owner's dad, Amanda and I wasted no time coming up with a slogan that was his alone. I am sad that Neil sold the bar, mostly because I will miss Neil's Dad driving the bus.
2."You girls very beautiful.": When I lived in Oakdale, my friend Naomi and I would go get french manicures done every few weeks and we always got this one guy (that we nicknamed Naomi's boyfriend) and he always had to tell us how beautiful we were. It was creepy but it always made us laugh.
3. "You moving out with me?": When I was in high school, when we got home from school, we used to clean up the house before mom got home from work. Usually, we would listen to music while we did this. Often times, I would play some tape so that I knew the songs and one of the tapes was Billy Joel. I would listen to Anthony's Song, and when it would get to the "I'm moving out!" part, I would always ask Steph if she was moving out with me, and she would always say yes.
I am sure that there are tons more, but it's late and tomorrow is going to be a long day (going home for the 4th), so I better wrap this up. Feel free to mention some of your own.

What about the time you stuffed me in a tote on your 18th birthday and then closed the lid and sat on top of the tote?? Not very nice.....makes me laugh today though. :)
Stacie: "Jenny's birthday party? I was in the back."
Seriously though, I miss living with you, living next door to you, and living in the same town as you. Living next door to each other would have been 500% cooler if we had doors that opened out into the hallway RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER so we could do that Laverne & Shirley thing, and then the song would go, "Doin' it our way!"
Also, ordering pizza at night in the dorms, going to lunch (esp. in the summer when you didn't work), me visiting you while you dealt blackjack, you visiting me when I worked at Amoco, looking at Christmas lights ("This cul-de-sac sponsored by Nodak Electric" and "Party at Bob from Accounting's house!"), and Saturday night trivia.
Even stupid little things, like shoveling your car out of the street, having Mike put together your modular furniture ("This doesn't seem very sturdy"), putting on every piece of clothing we own (BEFORE Joey did it on Friend's - could we BE wearing any more clothes?), doing your laundry at the Ghetto Mat, and, of course, talking about boys.
Remember that time when you were with the Beatles? That was awesome.
How about the night before my high school graduation when you and I sat out in the garage and had a very good long talk about everything in life....that was a good night. There are many more that I can think of and many more to come I'm sure!!
