i found my 4th grade class pictures!! i knew i still had it!!! here's ME!!! 1988

i used to be mad cos i didn't know how to feather my hair! but now i am very grateful cos i don't have embarassing big 80s hair photos!!! but i am wearing little purple pencil earrings!!! &i did idolize Punky Brewster & dressed the part...i'm wearing a little heart pin inspired by Miss Soleil Moon Frye.(which was actually an earring but i lost the other one!!) & i wore it every single day. i was so bummed when i lost it!!!

so whatever happened to all of these people??? michelle was my best friend.(i think joseph drew a mustache on this picture!!) even tho she constantly bragged about things & made me feel worthless. she was tiny! i thought i was soooo FAT when i found out i weighed 100lbs in 4th grade! cos she was like 80....i got a new best friend by jr. high & she joined the cheerleading squad. she tried to talk to me in high school cos we had the same algebra class. i totally blew her off. she got pregnant by some jock & i think they're still married. Tabitha, she was also one of my friends. we used to play 4 square at every recess! she moved away in 5th grade. she went to winchester,indiana. i ran into her in a bar in 2002. she didn't recognize me at first & i didn't realize it was her until she got up close & i'm like,"tabitha?!" she's like ,"yeah?" & i could tell she had no idea who i was! & i told her & she got all excited :"Oh my GOD!!" & gave me a big hug....i think we exchanged phone numbers.....i haven't seen her since then. JOLIE & TABITHA 2002. Kelly was always such a goody goody. but she was my friend! she was best friends with tabitha. in 6th grade she stole my best friend liz & i was pissed!!!!! Brandy,,,oh Brandy!! she always reminded me of Blanche from The Golden Girls cos she had a southern accent & a simillar haircut!! &the only girl in our class that was already getting boobs!! so she was very popular wit the boys.....she also moved away & i didn't see her again until last summer. she dated my brother joseph for a few months. they broke up around the time she decided to have sex with some skanky girl that used to hang out at my brother joaquin's house.... roxanne was brandy's best friend. she was always in & of school she'd appear & disappear every few years & fall asleep in class! i know her younger sister ranatta a little better. ranatta & brandy are best friends now. i dunno whatever happened to roxanne... amba...or"ambi".... she was kind of a bitch to me in high school. one in a group of girls that would tease me & say they slept with my boyfriend when i was in junior high. i got revenge in 2000. i slept with her boyfriend. we got into a fight at the bar & she moved away & i have not seen her since... Nikki...also known as dawn. she was always nikki in elementary school then changed it to dawn(i think that was actually her first name) & then back to nikki cos everyone still called her that!! "Dawn" just didn't take! anyway i think she works where i was working--i saw her a few times but i knew she wouldn't recognize me so i never spoke to her. kristy. weird girl. she lived about a block away from me for awhile& i even went to play at her house with another neighbor one summer....i remember in 5th grade she'd always be staring at my boobs cos she didn't have any! poor girl!! anyway--she also moved away in junior high. kerrie was my best friend in 1st grade. she lived down the street from me. me & her &her twin sister kendra hung out all the time. then we moved so we only hung out at school. she still lives in union city but since i haven't lived in UC for awhile it's been about a year and a half since i have seen her! i used to see her everytime i went to the bar. keri was kinda my friend. i went to her slumber party that year...she was really boyish & good at sports. she has always put me in the mind of darlene from "Roseanne".she got married &pregnant in high school..actually i'm really not sure which happened first. i just remember her having a kid.... Jill. she was a stuck up little rich girl. her sister was always really popular but everyone always picked on jill...she was sooo annoying. she was a target!!! diane was another one of my friends in 4th grade. my freddy kruegr imiation ("Fresh meat!!") always made her laugh.... Benny. i had a crush on benny when i was in 1st grade....what's really sad is that in 4th grade benny died.i'm not even sure about the details of what happened becos the teachers & principle tried to sugarcoat it. all i know it that something fell on him at the local bowling alley & he was crushed. i'm not sure by what....but it was too much for my 10 year old mind to take ...i was still dealing with the death of both my grandfathers & grandma nunez AND my cousin sandra. it was a very bad year. it was front page news & the whole thing was extremley sad. the whole class went to benny's funeral & all i remember is that he was buried with GI joes & he looked so pale.i was told that he had a huge bruise on his forehead & they had to use alotta make up to cover it up..... it was so sad.... eric. this kid was a dick. his dad was a paramedic so he came right to school & told everyone that benny was dead even before any of the teachers told us. he told us about how benny said he couldn't feel his legs & other details enough to terrify 9 & 10 year old kids....i always hated this kid. Elijah was an asshole too. he lived down the street from me &was mean to me sometimes.but other times he was pretty funny & a class clown so he made me laugh a lot too. especially in later years...another kid that moved away before junior high. Adam. aka "peewee" he was a funny little guy! &my sqaure dance partner in the spring showcase! i dunno what happened to him. i saw is military photo in the paper about 10 years ago. Andy i dodn't remember much about this guy except that he went out with my friend lorrie in junior high. & that he was kind of a dick sometimes. Bobby was always kinda quiet. i never knew him very well in school.(i totally forgot that he was even in my 4th grade class!!!) in high school he was friends with joseph & he gave bobby one of my flannel shirts & i saw him wearing it at school & i was like "hey! that's my shirt!!" we were friends for awhile in '95. i used to go to his house & hang out with him & a bunch of boys cos i was sick of my girlfriends ditching me....bobby moved to tenesse in 96 or 97. stephen. i felt sorry for this kid. he was really slow & got teased everyday.i saw him at walmart last year after not seeing him for years.. steve....i fucking hate this guy!!!! in 4th grade he seemed cool & i liked him. over the years he became beyond an asshole!!!! words can't describe. he made me so mad my junior year in high school i hit him with a board from a set in my tv/radio class. then i left the class & went home. fuck that guy!!! Brent L. was always a cool guy. he was always making laugh in 2nd grade & all thru elementary school & even in juinor high. he never changed!! he was always the same! always funny , always cool & always nice to me! even in high school when everyone else thought i was a freak...thanks brent!! :) Brent H..on the other hand...i never liked this brent. he thought he was so clever & smarter than everyone....he just annoyed the fuck outta me....i think he's in a band now & still lives in union city. he's on myspace. Keith...i think i had a crush on him in 3rd grade. then in 8th grade he liked me & his friends teased him relentlessly.poor guy. this has nothing to do with keith but i remember one time his brother (i don't recall his name)came to my house at like 3 in the morning looking for my brother joseph. i was in bed & my dad was sleeping down stairs & joseph wasn't there but this dumbass kept pounding on the door & yelling in the window --obviously drunk. i got pissed ran down the stairs & screamed at him "JOSEPH'S NOT HERE!! FUCK OFF IT'S 3 IN THE MORNING!!:" i'm paraphrasing of course...i dunno what i said i was PISSED! he moped out to his friends cars & said something about me being a bitch & i laughed to myself & went to bed! he's the dumbass that was knocking & yelling at 3 in the morning...moron. people piss me off!!!but that's another story!!!!
