I dont want Jessi to move. :( :( :( I've known her longer than any of my other friends, since before Kindergarden. She was the first person I met when I moved here. Soooo many memories. I'm used to looking out my window, and seeing "Jessi's house." Where we used to climb around on the back hill, and have so much fun. One time, when we were climbing around back there in the mud, just after it rained, when we were about Kindergarten age, I stepped on a nail buried in the dirt, and Jessi's mom washed my foot off, and gave my a Casper band-aid. It was glow in the dark, and I remember thinking how utterly, amazingly cool it was. Almost worth getting a nail through ones foot. I remember the first day of Kindergarden. I think she had black spandex on, and a minnie mouse shirt, and pink cowgirl boots, and a black headband. I had a floral dress on. Jessi had a Little Mermaid lunchbox, the kind that come with a thermos. I remember biking in the canyon, and going to the waterfall. I remember playing Lion King. I remember swimming in the Lion King kiddie pool, and various other types, all the way up until the real pool was built. I remember in when that was first built, pretending we were surfers that lived in Hawaii, and Jessi was Laya Elhonu. "Honu" means turtle in Hawaiian. Literally translated, it means "Layla, the turtle." We made all these plans when we were little to graduate from Elementary, and then Middle School and then High School together. We are so close. Two years away, and 12 years of planning will be fulfilled. I remember in second grade when her dog, BJ died. She sat sadly on the curb with her collar and leash in hand while friends comforted her. I remember watching "The Neverending Story" and freaking out when a horse almost died. I remember when her mom made us grilled cheese and gave us milk to drink with it. I remember roller blading, and getting sodas from her garage. And singing The Lion King and various other songs in the jacuzzi. And playing handball in the backyard in the court i used to have back there. And talking about crushes. And school. And friends. And life. Jessi doing my hair for homecoming. Cutting my hair. Doing my makeup. Carpooling, and rolling our eyes when Brittany would talk constantly about driving, and other odd things. Her first screen name was MissSupercross77 (even though now she is being attacked by sharkkks) or something with a 7 in it, her lucky number. I remember hanging out with her at bonfires, walking to Brian's house, going to Youth Group, seeing Ashlee Meyers, and looking back on "the good old days." I remember taking her kitten Cammie for a walk when she first got it, and it stepped in wet paint, and made little white footprints along the sidewalk. I remember when I first got Duke, and I brought him over, and her dad told me his ears were so big he would fly away. I remember going out to lunch. I remember having picnics. I remember Jessi pretending to smoke this little stick thing. I remember hanging out with Monterey and Jessi, and Jessi and Monterey had a very love/hate relationship. I remember seeing Phantom, and Jessi had some very funny comments. And about Constantine "heaven won't take him, hell wants him, earth needs him... Alexandria, just like you!!!" I remember swinging on the swings at the park. "Getting high," haha. Taking pictures for her photography class, and dressing up like a pregnant woman. I remember going Trick-or-Treating almost every Halloween with Jessi, and the year (last year) she was a Soccer mom, and all kinds of people though her doll was a real kid, and some though it was cute, and others looked at her like they were thinking what a horrible slut she must be. And how everyone loves this one boy I won't name, and wants to marry him, and he is Jessi's pet. It's actually pretty funny. I remember when her brother got cheese stuck to his tonsils, and had to use a straw taped to a vacuum cleaner to get it out. Horrible/funny. Abusing Valerie. I have a disturbingly large number of those memories. I remember when she had a crush on Thomas. (He would never read this, it's okay haha.) I remember hanging out with Jennifer and Amber and Johanna, and being crazy. Running around with no shoes on. Putting up Halloween decorations. Playing "Haunted House" in the court yard when it was decorated so spooky. Playing vampires with Jennifer and Amber and Johanna. And thinking a vampire lived across the canyon! Throwing mud and grassballs at the boys (AJ and Thomas.) Sometimes hanging out with Ashley, from next door. And furniture shopping... "wicker, it's thicker.. at Pier 1!!!" And Easter last year at my house, with her and Shannon. And when Jessi and Julia and I were "the exercise crew" and it went "Exerciiiiiise them lungs, yall!" And making good smoothies. And reading all of Jessi's writing, and poetry, and being amazed. She's going to be famously successful with that, you know. I have so many more, too. So many memories, and we have such good times. I hope Jessi never leaves. BECAUSE SHE OWNS. I love you Jessi.
If you don't want Jessi to leave, and love her, comment with love stories. And no, they don't have to be that long.
