*counts years on fingers*
That would be the end of 7th grade and the start of 8th grade for me. My very first girlfriend dumped me in January (see below). Anyways, I was listening to the radio quite a bit, and my first temptation to buy a U2 CD happened when I heard "Staring at the Sun" that summer. I didn't buy it for another 2 years though. My supergoth friend at that point really liked U2, but now he constantly trashes them. Later that year I met probably my best friend ever, Ben Dennis. Sadly he moved away early in 98, but he was really cool. The only problem was that his mom was really stuck up towards my mom, racism I suppose, Ben was an African American from New York, and apparantly his mom didn't think too much of his having white friends. That's about it.
For those who care, you know how much I talk about my crappy luck with girls. Anyway, Tammy was my first girlfriend, and things are soooooo great when you're not scarred by bad relationships. She broke up with me after about 4 months, and admitted regretting it about 3 years later. At that time though, I was so scarred by being rejected and dumped and lied to that when we tried to get back together, I was so nervous that I ruined it. There's still a spark between us, and if things don't work out with Jennifer and myself(and I really don 't think they will, we're just toooooo different), I'm gonna give her a call. I need to anyway, but I can't get over the guy she's dating now (even she admits he's an arrogant, self-absorbed prick).
