Attention Whore

[judecorp]

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

I have to work until 4:30 today and I'm totally cranky about it! I know, I know, I'll get no love from the rest of you who work a full day every Friday. (But Fridays are the days I get to spend with my Smooch who works on Saturdays.)

4th of July sleepover at my house.
It was the bestest ever. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

That sleepover was a good time!

[laserkitty.livejournal.com]

I remember coming over to your house for dinner and games...and we showed up in our jammies.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

That was fun! I miss that apartment, it was such a great apartment to host in. You guys were so cute in your jammies.

[wendywoowho.livejournal.com]

Hugs! Sammiches! Cookies! Kitties on counters!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Gosh, we need to do it again before you don't come up this way anymore!

[whirledpeas.livejournal.com]

I remember meeting you - in the bathroom. I thought, "I'd like to be her friend."

I also remember you coming over to scrapbook for Jenn and sitting in the JGI Room across from my apartment, watching tv. I was sewing...you were scrapping. It was quiet.

....and I'll always remember going to get beer...in long neck bottles. I didn't want any of the beer they had in bottles...but I got one anyway....to say we had beer, in long neck bottles.

and whitetrashdatenight ... when you wanted to go back to your apartment, so you could put on flannel....and we took peektures of our downtheres

and the time you came into the bedroom...to say good morning and you had to go....and I was naked under the sheets....and you kept saying "You're nakie!"

I love you.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, you WERE nakie! And I thought, "She must feel really comfortable with us, if she'll bare it all in our guest bed!"

[sunshyne72.livejournal.com]

I remember the first time I met you, you had a horrible cold, but you came to laserkitty's game night anyway. I remember we played apples to apples and I remember although you were sick I thought you had sparkley eyes. And that you and Jen looked so very good together.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I was totally not feeling well that night. I hope I didn't get anyone else sick! That night I ate a whoooooole lot of junk food.

[skreeky]

Wait, you go to Hofstra? Where are you?
*looks up* *waves*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Aaaah, what was the name of that computer lab? Collins? Cummings? Something-that-began-with-C? CAULKINS?

[gala.livejournal.com]

You and Vampy Cow, at the Bowers' place.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Vampy misses the days when he travelled around the country meeting interesting people.

[jadefu.livejournal.com]

Hey, there's a penny stuck in the tar.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Man, that was just crazy. Funny, you and cranapril are referencing the same weekend. :)

We're getting old.

[humanbeatbox.livejournal.com]

Clearly the best memory is sitting on Carrie's bed belting out Rob Base!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Aaaaah, the bed of looooooove. Where we would dish about Louis With the Lid Off.

xoxo

[poopsmoothie.livejournal.com]

I remember the first time you logged onto TIM when I was there. I was excited because I'd heard you were really cool. You did not disappoint!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? I am not nearly as cool as my prior reputation, I swear!

[changinglight.livejournal.com]

I hate that we don't know each other in person. one of my gavorite memories of you is trying so desperately to schedule this...

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It drives me crazy! Let's rectify this. Soon. Heck, I'll even come to you if I have to! I babysit Monday, volunteer Tuesday until 8:30, work Wednesday until 6:45. Thursday is Survivor but I could catch you before Survivor time. I think I get off work around 4:30-5:00.

[estrange.livejournal.com]

My memory is of you kicking my ass in the online survivor game!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Kicking your ass? You rode the wave all the way to the top with me!

[rebasayre.livejournal.com]

my favorite memory of you is trying to plan jen's surprise party together. it was so fun trying to trick her, and tracking you down at your job and find all of her and your friends so fast.

i remember when we had that party how well you got along with kyle and you were so important to me, that meant he had passed a really important test.

i remember when you and jen called this summer and sang me happy birthday. it still makes me feel special that you called from your vacation to sing to me. thank you!

i remember when you talked to my friend eric in boston. i was happy that two of my good friends had connected!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It was nice talking to Eric - thanks for the opportunity. And I'm glad you got the call from Key West, even though I think we might have called on the wrong day! (Oops)

I just adore you, R.

xoxo

Gout!

[cranapril.livejournal.com]

You and John camped out in my hallway at Myers... about Spring 1994 *FLOP*

Re: Gout!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I can't believe your knees totally gave out like that. I've never seen that happen before or since!!

[whuffle.livejournal.com]

I just remember meeting you at one of Siercia & Scirocco's parties and thinking, "oh how cool!"

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's always nice seeing you. One day I'll try to make it to one of your project nights. Although I will need a project first!

[bistronaut.livejournal.com]

The one time that we met, I gave you a network card and you gave me a plastic figurine of an ex-president. I still have him in my mess of a bedroom somewhere. :-)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha, that was awesome that you had a network card for me so quickly. Would you believe that mine started working again that day so I put yours in a geocache for another needy nerd?

[cappucinogrrl.livejournal.com]

I remember trying to find you at the March for Women's Lives, "Yeah, so I'm by the sign and the people."

And, er, you were one of my first LJ friends, and I think I found you through the feminist community, maybe? I don't really remember.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, trying to find each other at the March was sheer craziness. Still, I'm glad I got to share it with you, and meet that cute girl you were all hand-holdy with!

I've never been on the feminist communities. Shocking, I know. Maybe we met through Former Noog? Were you ever on the Dar Williams community (<lj comm=the_others)?

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

I remember finding out that you went to Mount shortly after we met on LJ and wondering if we might have met each other then if my family hadn't moved to Colorado.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It would have been fun if we had!

[sacharine.livejournal.com]

I always tell people about the time we went to see "The Ring" and I hid behind you the whole time. <3 <3

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Best. Movie date. Ever!

[calledmara.livejournal.com]

All of our fine times spent in the Columbus Women's Chorus.

And of course, when you picked me up for Valentine's Date and all I had on was knee socks as I fried egg sandwiches. ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, that day I snagged you on Valentine's Day to go to freaking Quaker Steak and Lube was totally priceless.

CWC was awesome except for when we had to wave the scarves during "Tuillet" or whatever that wind song was.

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

My best memories of you-

Dink Dink at Taco Bell.

Spraying the kids with water that day we were getting ready for the yard sale at my old apartment.

When we started that thread about husky lesbian voices.

PANTS.

I miss you.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We have had so many good times. I always felt like a part of your family, especially whenever we would take the girls somewhere, even somewhere like Taco Bell. I remember when we walked with them around Antrim Park for exercise, and we all played Follow The Leader, and when they got tired we carried them on our shoulders. The whole time I thought, "I guess this is what it's like to be a parent." I felt like, just for a minute, I was doing it.

I am so thankful for that time.

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

My So Called Life and expensive ice cream.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Brandie, I have so many memories of you!

Baking you a cake for your 20teenth birthday.
Meeting you at the Dube with Ryan and wondering, "What's she doing with all these boys?"
Falling in love with your Mom.
When you and Jen went out for icky steaks!

[indigodove.livejournal.com]

I remember your visit to our place. You stayed one night and we talked and talked. I especially remember you coming in, sniffing and saying "I smell cleaning products. I told you not to clean!" :-)

One of these days, I will make my way to Boston and come see you and your lovely wife.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes, come visit! Then we can be gracious hosts like you definitely were. I remember when we went out to eat that night I stayed over and met you, and we just talked and talked and talked.

[kjtoo.livejournal.com]

On a quiet autumn day we played chess by the river. I was eagerly awaiting an opportunity to test a new defense against the Shöenberg-Halloran Opening, with which you always began our final game of the day.

As the sun was sinking in the western sky, we reset the pieces for the final game. The score for the day, as usual, was even. You were smiling smugly, reveling in the knowledge that in seventeen years I had never once managed to win the final match.

You opened as I expected you would, and I countered your every move, taking first a pawn, then a knight, then a bishop. The tables had turned and I was sure to be the victor.

Then as I was about to deal the finishing blow, the earth shook beneath us and all the chess pieces trembled. The river began to boil and heavy clouds rolled across the darkening sky. A silver-white crack split the air between us and the chess board exploded, scattering kings, rooks and pawns. From the widening tear shone a blinding light, and thousands of trumpets sounded a terrifying fanfare. The archangel Gabriel stepped through the rift, holding aloft his magnificent sword and crushing your queen beneath his sandalled foot. With a mighty cry, he launched himself into the air and flew off into the night, followed by thousands of white doves. In his passing, the clouds parted and the earth stilled; the river was calm once more and the gateway through which Gabriel had come shrank to a single, silver spot that danced in the breeze like a butterfly and then disappeared.

"So," you said. "I guess we'll call that one a draw."

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Best fake memory ever!
