Obvi I had to do a separate post just for this bitch. I am going to try and do it without sobbing, but I’m already weeping. @jenn_and_juicy & I met at HS in Hope Mills, NC. I was a freshman & she was a junior. I was also very closeted (but also like not at all closeted at all lolz). Every one of my notebooks & binders were COVERED in clippings & doodles I would do of my Queen. It was in the cafeteria, I believe, one day when Jennifer approached me. I had written “I ❤️ @madonna” on my hand & it was love at first sight. She introduced me to @justchass, @kellycerro, @ldubwalters, Andra (I dunno why I can’t tag you) Harter, and so many more. They all became like my guardians in HS, but Jennifer & I always had this kinda knowing bond. It was just meant to be. We would skip school & smoke blunts in Chas’ Chevy Blaz’ah! I would shoplift us sunglasses & Tommy Hilfiger baggy khakis for myself. We’d throw wild weekend parties at Jen’s vacant house while her parents were divorcing. We hated our drama teacher Mr. Davis & had so many asthma inducing fits of laughter while shit talking that little bitter f@qqot. The only memories of my time in NC that weren’t completely consumed with ending my life & misery & resentment. I loved them so much, and I know they loved me bc they protected me. A performer since birth, I would always do anything to entertain my friends. My fave was to reenact the entire Like A Virgin masturbation number from #BlondAmbitionTour in the backseat of the Blaz’ah. 22+ years later, we’re all in each other’s lives. I love them all just as much as I did back then. While we were in school, M’s Music album & #DrownedWorldTour happened & I remember desperately wanting to go with Jen. This past Saturday, Jen & I were finally able to make that dream a reality. Being able to hold each other through bursts of guttural sobs to dancing & screaming along like maniacs is something I will cherish for the rest of my days in this realm. Being able to share this most major moment w/ Madonna in your presence is a feeling I never would have imagined all those years ago forcing you to learn how to do the squat jump in my bedroom. I love you beyond words. ❤️
