Last night my sister had a few camp friends over to watch the end of the summer vidio Marla made for the camp they all went to.
Amanda came into the house, saying that someone was here, I didnt catch who she said. I just screamed back at her, ok! There was defanately more than two names Amanda said. There was a bunch of people. When everyone was in the den, Amanda said "Marla is here, and Jill" I was listening to my RedSox hammoring the Blue Jays so I just stepped into the hallway to say hi. Marla, who I have not seen in a few years, came over and said do you remember me? I laughed and said of course I remember you. She than started rattling off things we had done a few years back, including going to 6 flags, which I dont recall. My sister from the other room had to chime in with "yes you did". (I didnt say I didnt go, I just said I didnt remember) She said that Cindy misses me. *Cindy is her sister, she is married and had a son. but oh my god, the time that I spent hanging out with her, this married woman, I developed such a crush on her. She was outgoing in was always interested in my thoughts of what ever the topic of the moment was. One Friday night, after having Chinese food, in the restaurant there was a band. She said that she would love to go dancing. After I was finished eating, I asked her to dance with me. I got a mental picture of her body, and she was hot.* She said that she was having so much fun. Her husband is boring, he doesnt like to go out and have fun, He doesnt like dancing. I remember one day after coming home from hanging out with the camp group, she said to me, you like Cidy, dont you? I just smiled and she just said, I can tell, but remember, she is married. I tried to distance myself from this beautiful, smart, caring, fun jewish lady as much as I could so I didnt cause any problems. ... back to the now.
Marla asked if I was going to watch the vidio with them. I said some sarcastic like "of course not, the redsox are on" She asked who was winning. (not that she actually cared) to which I said the Redsox, 8 to 1. She said, sarcasticly, well, if you want to watched the vidio, we'll be in the other room. They put the vidio on as Marla was telling the others that she hopes they enjoy the music she put to the pictures. (it was a slideshow set to music, not a cam corder type vidio) They had blasted the tv and because I liked the camp friends of my sister, I didnt close my door. I just moved over to the radio so I could hear it. It was the 9th inning anyways, so when the game was over, I would go and join the gathering.
The game had ended, My redsox won 8-1. I shut off the radio and went into the hall. Since I knew there was a few people over, didnt want to disterb the vidio to ask if there was anywhere to sit, I just stood just at the doorway of the room. It was fun hearing a bunch of people laughing and commenting. The music was good and appropriate. Of corse the last song was Green day's "good ridden". When the video was over than people noticed I was there. I said hi to everyone. Someone came over to me and asked if I remembered her. She said her name was Jill simmons I said I did, she said that we went to camp together for a while and went to college together too.
(In my head I am thinking... I remember college with you, you were one of the girls my army roommate was fucking around with.) ... And my mom is here, you remember Judy? She said hi, I said hi back. She ran the camp when I was there. They said their "byes" and left while the rest of the crew stayed around for more reminnicing. My sister brought down a bag that had a bunch of poems her and others wrote from over the years they would resite at the end of the year at the camp counselor's end of the year dinner. They were pretty funny. My sister said they would take notes through out the summer and at the end, they would write the poems. They were mostly about the crazy and stupid and illegal things people did at the camp as well as the normal teen gossup things like, who's fucking who, who was gay or seems to be, and other points were cute things like a little girl who would always wear gloves. A boy that always wore a hat. the people who were "afrade" of the water and even that one camper throwing a counselor's keys to the bottom of the lake. So they were reading these out loud, one after another with pictures going around, so a lot of "I remember that" and "she-he did what?" or "I dont remember who that is, is there a picture of he-she somewhere?"
I was thinking, hmm I dont remember any of these people. But than it acurred to me, they were talking about 2000 -present and I was at camp in 1989-92. I felt old! Marla said, "how do you think I feel? I'm even older than you"
At about 10;30 the party was breaking up. My sister kinda introduced me to Justin. She said this is Justin, he is named after Justin*my twin brother*, You know barbra's son, your kindergardin teacher? *she was wrong, barbra was my nursery school teacher, but still* I had a supprized and confused look. Amanda goes, Yes, that Justin. *she misinterpretated my look, thinking I knew that she had a son named Justin*She goes, so how old do you feel now? he wasnt even born yet. I just said, "I'm old."
After the people said their byes and left my sister took a shower. After that, she came out and said "Didnt Jill date your roomate James for a while?" yep, she did. My sister goes, well, she is married with a child and another on the way to make you feel even older.
.....................................................
The last year of camp for me, I was developing a crush on Gena, a friend of Jill's back in the day. The second to last day of camp we were sitting around at the end of the day, daily gathering. I had found a casette tape next to me. I asked if it was anyones, but no one clamed it. It was GNR's Use Your illutions I. Which I did not have so I figured I would take it home, make a copy of it and bring it back to see who's it was.
As I was leaving, I found out it was Gena's. I would give it to her the next day. At the end of the day, the last day of camp, I told her that I had something of hers. I handed it to her and she thanked me and gave me a kiss. I was like... damn. she kissed me. (ok, so it was just a peck on my lips but to this inosant teen, it was a kiss) ... She had a green apple sented shampoo. I always knew when she was around. But that would be the last day I would see her.
November Rain
Guns N Roses
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
