Goat roper country pt.4
I went to the Prom that year with my best friend Saffron which was fantastic! I really was hoping “V” would ask me but he didn’t, a really nice guy asked me and I turned him down, I always regretted the way I did it, I don’t think I was particularly nice about it – he deserved better and I am sorry.
Saff and I went out for a meal at a fancy restaurant (well as fancy as it gets in bizarroland) and then we got wasted (ah the sins of my youth). Saff and I always knew how to have a good time and she was the BEST date I could ever ask for, we danced and sung our hearts out, I remember she was wearing this beautiful grey dress, she was always so cool.
Prom 1985 - Anderson Valley High
We arrived at the Prom and I met “J” he was a bit older, probably 18 or 19, I don’t remember what he was doing at our Prom, maybe he was working with the band or maybe he was cruising for chicks, and God knows there was nothing much else to do in a town the size of a breath mint. I went out with him a couple of times after the Prom though I don’t really remember him too well, you’d think that such a cutie would make a lasting impression, but not really – all I remember is that he was nice and that he liked me but that’s about it. Saff just remembers him vaguely, being a smooth talker.
So here is a picture from the Prom “J” and me, I was so young and look at him posing– hilarious, so cool.
That was a wild night, really wild, we partied all night and into the morning. It was a great way to end my stay in the Valley and make way for a new life in Norway.
I wonder what happened to “J” and “V” cannot find anything when I Google them, I think “V” ended up in prison and “J” who knows.
I just found and reconnected with Saff on FB!! I am so glad I found her, she was such an important part of my life and I have missed her so much. Just know Saff when I think of you it is with admiration and love.
