This is what Gretchen wrote in my yearbook Senior Year. I think that I remember about 99% of these inside jokes. Everything amused us. Almost every year she did a roundup of memories. In one of my middle school yearbooks, she wrote out the chorus to the song "Estranged" by Guns 'N' Roses in a secret code that we'd come up with. Anyhow -- here's Gretchen in 1995:
Chrissy -- Wow. It's all over. You are graduating in a mere week. So much has changed since we met. I was the pure, innocent 8th grader and you were the bad influence...and somehow I became the rebel and you the voice of reason. Mixed in all our adventures through the years there was the constant of the TV STUDIO! One big incestuous family! Baa! No, Don, no! I'm ENCHANTING! And countless other inside jokes that evolved from us being in a very small enclosed area for long periods of time. Your brief stint as GUIDANCE GIRL (that's me now!)! Oh yeah! And of course Ricki Lake and Jenny Jones! And Chrissy, we cannot forget that you are my mommy! But now I won't have to leech off you, since we will be chillin' at Genuardi's! Yippee skippee!
FLASHBACK (since that is this yearbook's theme): Rock the vote! On your knees! Shawnith! Marty "the boy" Molloy! Mischa and my studio flings! Junior prom '94 -- crammed in a bus seat! Choral probation! Tequila! RANDOMNESS! (is an art). "The cafeteria is an extension of the TV Studio." Jen and John -- "what's going on behind that table!?" All night Trivia Pursuit Marathons! JOLT and NODOZ! The chicken dance! The ROYAL BALL! Drive-by flower pickings! 6 hour mall trips -- (drumroll) El joven del Dejaiz! Seve, Blas, and Axl...and Luke! Roberto -- the homsexual hostage living in the Spanish section of China. The monotone. LOVE BUNNY! New Year's! -- Who am I now? The Sound of Music -- Friedrick! Saturday Night Fever! Disco fever! Senior Prom -- Thai Pepper -- How did the parsley get there?? I WANNA FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL! (Oh, hi Dr. Pollock!) Jeff-for-free and friends...Andy...1-800-Tampax. Medicine Man. Pixie Stix - Trichonichism -- POISON -- "Bonda Joy, Bonda Joy..." and our other poetry. MI PAPAGAYO (or really TU PAPAGAYO) -- Fuzzy navels -- Driving 15 mph in front of a SEPTA bus -- the Zoo! (is that you Don?) -- disfigured tree surgeons (AND THE NIGHT BRINGS CHARLIE) -- The Time Warp! -- What is the hypergeometric theorum? -- Mr Fishie Loves you! -- Free period with a credit! -- GREASE (Either watch it or we'll sing the sound of music!) -- "Punch is necessary with floating orange things!" -- Storming the White House! -- The failed video yearbook -- 2 cheeseburger meal, again. NO BILLY JOEL! -- Oh, what a night! (Joey) -- TV Studio lunches - Elias, TED and ZED bashing! BEAT THE FRESHMAN! -- Chrissy, isn't your career elective in the studio? Oh, God, not Physics! -- Do you like pina coladas? -- Freaking out waiters at Bennigans -- OH GOD HE HAS BREASTS! -- Junior Prom with Tommy - an evening we both experienced -- Semi-formal YMCA -- Let's do the Hokey Pokey -- Shooting peas out of your nose! Ready, aim, fire! -- Are you girls supposed to be in class? No, we don't go here! (Duh!) -- Koosh ball baseball! -- Infomercials at 4am -- What happens when you OD on caffeine? -- Andre! -- The Real World! -- TANG -- Juggling (or trying to) at Natural Wonders -- "Gonna kill my parents, yes Satan!" -- Pete: the Long Island guy who I kinda forgot what he looked like, oops -- Let's go to Genuardi's and hang out! -- Salute the Flag! -- Be One with God!
My God Christine! I could go on forever writing out all of our inside jokes and old silly stories! We've had some wonderful years! I will miss you so much next year! You better write and call and email ALOT and I'll try and visit. I love you.
Love,
Gretchen
