A year of FunI figured it out the other day, I knew Courtni for a total of 384 days. And of those 384 days, I would say there may have been a total of 30 days that we didn't talk to each other. Its strange how some people make such a profound impact on you. I know my life has been changed forever just for having known her. I don't even know how we got to be such good friends, and why on earth we ever went around doing the crazy things we did. The great thing about it though, whatever crazy stunts we pulled, we both had at least one full roll of film in our cameras at all times. I'll hold on to my memories of Courtni forever, and the pictures I can share with anyone who wants to see how great this kid really was.Courtni and I did crazy stuff...in August of '99, we went to the beach armed with 8 rolls of film, 2 underwater cameras, and 2 photo albums. The point of our trip was to do weird stuff, and make complete strangers take our pictures doing this weird stuff. Or we would just ask total strangers to pose with us. Every night we took our pictures to the one hour photo place, then put the pics in our photo albums. We showed our pics to various strangers....It was by far the best trip I ever took to the beach. 
  
Courtni and I stalked this poor man up 3 flights of stairs at our hotel...he needed a quarter for ice so we gave him one, then we followed him and made him take our pictures, then he had to pose with us. He did. We also went into weird stores and took pictures of each other. I don't think the store people appreciated what we were doing, but we were having fun.
This is the situation that Courtni will be paying me back for until I die, maybe even after. Before we went on our trip to the beach, I asked her if a lesbian asked her out on a date while we were at the beach, would she go if I paid and made sure nothing happened to her. SHE SAID YES!! Armed with this information, I had to make sure one asked her out, just because Courtni wouldn't go back on her word. Our relationship was like that, put up or shut up and most times we both said or did things only because we dared each other and we both had too much pride to back down. Anyway, a week before we went to the beach, I put an ad in the "alternative lifestyles" personals, using Courtni's name-and within a day I had a response. A 58 year old gym teaching, motorcycle riding lesbian wanted to meet Courtni and show her around at the beach!! I could not wait to see Courtni's face when i told her she had a date with a lesbian!! I printed out all the responses that this lady sent to "Courtni", and I brought them along to the beach as proof that she really had a date because Courtni would have called me a liar. Well, we were in the hotel for maybe 20 minutes the first day and I just had to tell her what I did. For the next half hour, she called me a fucking bitch, nonstop. That was her name for me anyway, but she could not believe I did that to her!! It was THE FUNNIEST THING I ever did to her. When i took this picture, she was in the middle of saying "you fucking bitch." Nick was rolling off the bed with laughter, I had told him what I did and he too was waiting to see Courtni's reaction. Courtni always told me that she'd get me back for that, and I truly believe that even though she may be gone, she has not forgotten. I also think that she's been doing little things to me now and then.... And who am I to ever compete with who she has on her side now?

Yeah we were weird
We called each other Pussgut. We were obsessed with grabbing(or fake grabbing) asses of all shapes and sizes. This just happened to be a gorilla statue at the mini golf course. |
Crazy Girl
I took this picture at work one night, I told Courtni to do something interesting...she decided to unzip her pants. (She only did it because she knew I'd drop the camera and run away...but I snapped the pic BEFORE I ran away!!) |
This night at work was so funny. I always go around talking like I've got the biggest, baddest muscles and I can kick anyone's ass. If you look at this picture, you'll see that Its so true...ok ha ha. I teased Amy and Courtni SO BAD, about the weird faces they made in this pic. Oh and also about why my muscle is so much bigger and more defined than theirs. Amy and Courtni would always end up in these horrible discussions about sex, and most times I just couldn't take it, it got so bad. 
Poor Courtney was all dressed to go to homecoming when Amy and Courtni ambushed her and kissed her.

I dared her to eat THE WHOLE PIZZA...she did.  
I think this summer is going to be a little difficult for me. Courtni and I had so much fun together last year, we were gonna do more outrageous stuff this year. She even signed up to play on my league softball team. She was so excited to play. One of the last things we ever talked about was playing softball....the day she died was the first day of open gym practice for the high school team that I coach.I was so excited that day. She wanted me to help her with hitting because she hadn't played in so long. I told her not to worry, she'd be clubbing homeruns in no time. You can bet every homerun I hit this year, I'll be thinking of my buddy the Pussgut as I cross the plate. um, yeah this page IS titty pink. |
