ok. I had to blog about this! lol I’ve been a member of Classmates.com for several years. Not a paid member but had my name & school in there. So I’ve looked at the bios a few times from people I graduated with. Wondered about them. Wished a few times I could contact them but I sure didn’t want to pay Classmates for the privilege to do so!
Well the other day I open my e-mail to see that someone tried to contact me through Classmates! It was my ol’ buddy Tom
He had wrote me a e-mail through the site. Problem was I couldn’t read it! Had to pay for it. NOT! Luv ya Tom but NO WAY!! I decided to look on MySpace and see if he had a profile. Found a couple names that matched and 1 profile that the age matched too but the person didn’t have a photo of themselves on there AND they were in a different state. I went ahead and sent him a e-mail through MySpace and it turns out it was my Tom!! Yeah!!
I e-mailed him a long rambling letter yesterday. VERY condensed version of my life since high school. Sent him links to this blog and some of my galleries online. Haven’t heard back yet….hmm…. LOL!! Hope I didn’t scare him off!!
Yep me and Tom were good friends. Now before I go into detail, Tom if you’re reading excuse my memory and correct me if I’m wrong!! He was new to the area. Came to KY. from NY. How or why on earth they moved from NY to here I forget. Anyway we drove around these ol’ country roads after school, me dropping lit cigarettes on him
cranking up the tunes, talking.. Spent our time in Spanish class goofing off! lol I can still picture Tom’s sly grin. Unfortunately my Dad was a jerk about Tom. Poor guy!! He showed up at my house one night asking if I could go take a ride with him. Of course my dad said NO. Tom was a cutie for sure. Very dark, dark hair, kind of olive complexion and BIG, beautiful dark eyes, tall and well…just handsome
Dad wouldn’t let me ride anywhere with him because he was just a jerk at the time. My dad that is. Very judgmental. Tom was from NY after all! Not to mention he had the gall to actually come to the house in the evening to ask me. Sigh. The things I had to put up with! No wonder I left home at 17!
I remember going to Tom’s house when I was supposed to be going to a girl friend’s church party instead.
His parents and brothers were there. They made sure I got home just fine. Oh those were the days!! You know I’m leaving out lots of details!! LOL!
I’m not sure why Tom and I were never more than friends back then. If I remember correctly I wouldn’t have objected AT ALL to being asked out like a girl friend
Maybe my Dad did that one in?? I don’t know. Yes this is a true confession!! lol Sigh…………………………………
Anyway now that it’s 20 years later we’re both married both of us with 3 little kids. From the little bit I”ve read about him sounds like he turned out just fine despite being from NY
Hope to hear from him soon and Tom if you’re reading…leave me a note will ya!! Hurray for MySpace! Guess I”ll stick a “pimp my space” layout up on there now
Oh and hey Tom!! If you’re reading of course I was listening to the Chili Peppers while I wrote this! Here’s a song for ya
edited to say~I should have said this before but…dh knows all about my friend “finding” me. He’s a good guy my dh. He’s fine with me talking to him
