davidwraith made a post recently about this guy from the loop that everyone seemed to know and I knew him too. It made me start thinking about those days. I really don't talk to anyone anymore from back at that time. I was one of the kids that hung out on the wall in the loop and for a period of about a month close to Halloween in my sophomore year I ran away

It's actually sort of funny, because David's post made me think about all of those things around that time as well. The girl you refer to as poison sounds an awful lot like my best friend during most of my Haven days. I think everyone has one of them in their closet.

If you've been reading my journal, and used to hang out in the smoking lounge then you probably know Jordan Catalano... or at least know of him. It's sometimes refreshing how people can grow up and out of their pasts. But it's always disappointing when they don't.

Anyway, glad you found me... thanks for adding me... and we should compare notes some time. :)

Hmm...I looked over your journal and don't have much to go on for who Jordan Catalano might be but the only person I could think of might be Francis Raven??

I could be totally off base but that's just what it makes me think of. I was totally and completely in love with him at Clayton High.

Oh wow... Raven... I haven't thought about him in forever. No, this boy is older... my class. He didn't so much hang out in the smoking lounge, as he was just simply notorious and tended to hang about the commons in the same area as those people that frequented the smoking lounge. He has Jordan Catalano's eyes. He really wasn't in my league and broke my heart so many years ago. Of course, he apologized profusely time and time again so I forgive for youthful indiscretions. I was never cool enough to be introduced to his crowd openly. Oh, and he transferred back to CHS after a brief stint at CBC. That's all I'm going to say. All guesses are welcome. *smirks*

Oh man, I thought I was so right. Well he was definatly my Jordan Catalano. Same kind of personality too.

Wow...if it wasn't for the fact that it's been such a long time I might be able to make a better guess but I can hardly even think of the names anymore. I have to say I'm curious though even if I would know the name. It's cool that you don't want to say though. Thanks for adding me back as a friend. I can't sleep so I've been kind of going back through your journal to catch up to you.

Man, it is such a good thing to get away from people like that... or even just to realize that you have so much more worth then them to the people that matter...
I've been in similar situations all my life, I'm always the fat friend :) Heck, I'm even that way now with my *best* friend, but the difference is she understands and is receptive to my insecurities, and she never intentionally tries to pull attention to herself or make me feel inferior/uncomfortable. I guess that's that whole genuine friend thing you were speaking of.

ha. I just got this comment in my email, I guess the livejournal servers are finally catching up.

Anyhow I know what you mean. I'm the fat friend too,
