| NAME: Judy NICKNAME: N/A HOOKED-UP: 1986 NOTEWORTHY: I originally met her through Tina; she is my second link in "The Tina Chain"(TM). And during the short time I was together with Tina is when Judy had shown early signs of possibly being interested in me. I think Tina sensed this as well, which may have factored into the falling-out that happened between them later on. In any event, Judy became my girlfriend when I was a Junior--the school year after dating Tina. As it had been with Tina, so was the case with Judy in how I basically agreed to the idea of getting into a "relationship" without properly evaluating exactly whom it would be shared with. I cannot honestly say if Judy was a good girlfriend or a bad one. To me, it seemed acceptable enough being together at school; but getting together off campus was an idea I had difficulty warming up to. With her, apparently liking me enough to want to date me, she seemed content once we got together. But when another guy came along that caught her interest--who suggested she break it off with me so they could date--she jumped at the chance all too quickly. Ultimately, dating her left a lot to be desired. Although undecided on exactly what I wanted at that point, it was pretty clear that she did not fit into the picture. The guy who lured Judy away actually wound up doing me a favor: I was spared having to initiate a break-up while provided ample reason to reject her later when she came crawling back after their relationship had failed. By that point, I was just thankful to have my freedom restored, and was in no hurry to lose it again. Especially not to her. Remembering the last time I saw Judy... It was Fall 1988: she was sitting at a bus stop in front of Pierce College, and I was driving by in my old Buick, heading home for lunch. She had occasionally tried to call me during the two years since we broke up. I eventually stopped taking her calls, praying that she would just go away on her own... hopefully sooner than later. Spotting Judy at that bus stop as I drove down the street caused for me to speed up with the hope of racing by her without being seen by her. Can't remember if this effort proved successful or not; I never looked back for confirmation...and still cannot remember if she even tried calling me again after that. It's just as well. __________________________ |
