Home Made Pizza
I made home made pizza for lunch today. It was very tasty, if I may say so myself. Almost as good as the pizza my grandma used to make when I was a kid. Home made pizza was a special event kind of thing. Birthday get together? Home made pizza was the meal.
I seen Jamie K. and his family at Wal Mart today. That's getting to be quite the 'meeting place' for me lately. I know he seen and recognized me too. I pretended to not see or recognize him. (As is my usual behavior when I see someone who I haven't seen in a decade.) I was a little embarrassed that Zachary was being such a bratt, and Thomas was yelling about God knows what. Jamie appeared to have the picture perfect 'Norman Rockwell' thing going on. I have to say, I was a little jealous. Then again, it's usually the ones that appear to be blissfully happy and picture perfect that are actually as far from it as you can get.
Background on Jamie......
When I was in 10th grade, and he in 9th grade, we both had the same English Literature class. He sat right in front of me, and would turn around and talk with me all the time. I would even help him cheat on work from time to time. We sparked up our friendship when he said his Grandmother was an O'Rourke. (Of course, I was many years from marriage yet, so, my last name was still O'Rourke.) Then one day, while I was rushing around to get my books together to catch the bus, he caught me in the hallway. He was asking me if I would like to go out with him some time. I was actually pretty excited about it. I really thought he was a nice guy. (Even if he was a freshman.)
The most horrible thing happened after that though. It was almost 1 week to the day that he had asked me out. My mother kicked me out. I can still remember that day. The one thing I was most upset about was the fact that I would never get to actually go out on that date with Jamie. From that day forward, I would be living with my Grandparents, and they lived downstate, so, that meant everything that I had in Gaylord, was gone. I didn't really handle that time all to well, either. I did not keep in touch with any of my friends. The only one I did keep in contact with, was Jessica. She was my best friend, and up until that point, there wasn't a singly thing that happened in my life that she didn't A.) know about or B.) experience with me.
I did realize one very interesting thing today. Jamie and Charlie are very similar in physical make up. Both the same height. Both have dark hair. Both wear prescription glasses. Both wear hats. They both were even dressed similarly. One big difference......about 15 years in age.
