Melissa,
The last time I clearly remember seeing you was at a show at The Space. Some asshat bumped into whilst you were drinking a soda and the bottle chipped your tooth. It was pretty bad but you took it pretty good all things considered.
The bulk of my memories of you happened in what I like to affectionately refer to as my “Goth Years”. I had long hair, eyeliner, and pearls…that’s right ladies and gentlemen, your beloved narrator in eyeliner and pearls…how horrific and wonderful. You, Amanda, and Nina were pretty much the hottest shit I had ever seen and it appealed to my goth sensibilities that you guys appeared to be in a coven, or atleast the type of coven that could be spawned from a Midwest production of “The Craft” the musical.
I am soo ridiculously happy for how things have turned out for you, though the details elude my age addled brain, I know you are doing what you love, where you love, with whom you love, which is exactly what you said you were gonna do way back when. When I saw your wedding pictures on MySpace (anyone remember MySpace…so sad) it was like something out of a fairy tale. If half the women I know saw those pictures they would hate you, as well they should =)
With all the distance and marginal contact I doubt I will see much of you in the future, but I am sure I will remember you fondly as you were important to my early years (as with everything I am ferociously self centered) and for that you will always have a spot in my cobwebbed bedecked brain case.
Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,
Much lurve,
Curt
