That song from Cats
I love random memories. I was talking with my friend Angel from home. She was one of my best friends growing up and although we have been in and out of each others lives the past few years, we always end up back in touch.
We were talking about something that led us to talking about being kids. She had this one memory of me in like the first grade. A group of us were standing around. I had on a skirt and tights and suddenly proclaimed, "I can do a split, wanna see" and proceeded to do one, skirt and all. She said that everyone was quite impressed with my mad split skills. How funny.
I can remember being jealous of the girls with the cool clogs. My clogs were'nt as cool. Theirs made great clicky sounds when we played jumprope. Dawn Yandow had the best clogs, the ones with a buckle. I now have a similar pair, now that I think about it.
I have a memory of walking around the school during recess and having heard that Angel was having a birthday party, I walked up to her and grabbed her hand. We walked around holding hands for a few minutes and I said, "Hey, I hear your having a birthday party. Can I come?" She told me today that she was so excited that I actually had wanted to come to her party. Nobody really knew each other yet...it was first grade...but I was all about going to a party.
I never had any boyfriends growing up, but in the first grade, I chased a boy named Chad Lafar around and pulled down his hat and kissed him on his hat....then ran off.
As I was driving to Ski Roundtop today to stop in at a WJTL event, I was listening to a classic rock station. Songs can evoke so many memories, too. Some good, some not so good.
I can't remember any of the theorems from Geometry class...thus the D... I can, however, remember the look of disappointment on my math teachers face when I looked at her with the blank "i don't get it stare". After Algebra, math was foreign to me.
Speaking of foreign...I can remember some french conjucations: Je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous sommes, vous etes, ils sont, elles sont. Voila!!!
