while reading my engineering book out of the blue, and I have no idea what triggered this childhood memory (because I have never thought about it nor remembered it before until now), it was like something whispered in my soul to remember the past.

I was in 6th grade? and rode by bicycle (or did my Mom give me a car ride?) to Michelle's house. Michelle was a beautiful girl, who I wished to be as pretty as. She had long beautiful brown hair, straight, and stylable, mily white skin, without blemishes. Sunshine was a yellow short-haired girl also skinny, but seemed to have dirty white skin, like she hardly showered. I had brought a bag with my nightly things, I was going to spend the night and have a slumber party there. Michele made chilie for dinner, and brownies for dessert. We watched TV with her family, and walked over to a little league baseball game to watch her brother play. Boys whistled and cars honked as we walked down Columbia Ave to the baseball diamond by the little Calumet River. We walked to Sunshine's house and to this day I have never seen a house so messy and piled with junk. I was glad to leave. Evening came and we walked back to Michelle's house. I think we played with My Little Ponys, dolls, and watched videos, etc. Then we went to sleep. Then for the first time in my life I got CREAMED. Shaving Cream that is... and toothpaste, and moose. I didn't think it was funny at the time.....

The reason I didn't remember this one-time slumber party is because they went to different high schools and I kind of forgot about them.

I guess I kind of forgot about Laura Sorolonzo (misspelled her last name too). She was one of my best friends in middle school. We'd hang out every morning, crack jokes, talk about life, and school, before they let us in the building in the morning. She was in many of my classes including French. I told her about how I had wanted to commit suicide with detergent because of my stuggles in school (I had gotten my first Bs, I was used to A's) and she told me how she liked to eat cow eyes in her tacos. She came to my birthday parites at the rollar rink, and we made this video in french class called Le poisson! I made a fish puppet out of my dad's sock and made it look like a real cool looking puppet. She was the waitress, some other girl was going to eat the fish, when the fish (me under the table controling the puppet) protested and did not want to be eatern, dialog all in french. The fish then proceeded to attack the customer by sqiurting water from its mouth (watergun through a small hole in the fish puppet's mouth) , it was really funny! Yes, she was a good friend in middle school. She also went to a different high school.
