from the day i met brendan, i thought he was weird. in mrs. patton's homeroom in 7th grade he was quite round and wore brightly colored solid shirts, which led to me calling him M&M. we didn't interact outside of school, but we were goofy as hell during it. then in 8th grade he decided to explore his irish heritage by wearing excessive amounts of green, shamrocks, and have an obsession with leprechauns. he flourished on st. patrick's day. the summer after 8th grade me, brendan, amy, and matt went to six flags for a day. he sat with amy on monster plantation, and i sat with matt. while me and matt started to make out brendan for some reason reached back and touched matt's head and loudly exclaimed "they're making out!"...we immediately stopped and haven't really spoken since. i guess you could say brendan ruined my possibly relationship with matt. which is ok cause he became a druggy. so me and brendan were in the same math class freshman year. he was still "big-boned," in what he calls his "ugly phase," but he was cute and hilarious. sophomore year we started hanging out in the same anti drugs/alcohol crowd. we were goofy and frequented the kroger parkinglot. nathan hit him with the car. we ran through dickerson to try to visit mrs. patton, our 7th grade homeroom teacher, but she had retired. one day brendan was thrown out of a car wrapped in duct tape to a pack of wild middle schoolers at chick-fil-a... he survived, but we got an ice cream cone thrown at us. that year brendan started working at cold stone and also jogging. one night me and amy were dropping him off at his house (pre-apartment) and both commented on how cute he was. i ended up dating him, but i'm going to leave that part out due to awkwardness. so sophomore year i think he moved to the apartment and our fascination with playgrounds at night started. we also rolled down the hill at school to the buses everyday cause we were losers, but it was fun. that summer brendan started looking like a goblin. he got way too skinny and his eyes had circles around them. he was scary, but he's ok now. junior year brendan and i clashed. we had broken up during the summer and we still hung out with the same group. i remember we went to trivia at taco mac where his sister worked. oh, and he overtook the president of UNICEF and we pretty much monopolized it as being only our group of friends. we started getting along that spring right before prom. he went with amy, possibly not away that she had been in love with him since sophomore year. prom was fun, me, cassidy, and him took some posed raunchy pictures that made us look drunk, but we weren't. we were the type of kids who could have the way we used to when we were 5, just running around and being goofy. we slept at amy's dad's house. we hung out there a lot and went swimming all the time.. i think brendan went in his clothes a few times. we all did. so summer. i found out he was dating amy 3 weeks after they started (they thought i'd be mad but i had been waiting for it to happen since prom)... oh i forgot this scary girl named megan davis (no relation) was obsessed with him junior year.. it was creepy. oh and that brendan started wearing fun thrift store clothes after like half a year of wearing his old clothes that no longer fit him. he had a khaki Member's Only jacket. hot. SO, he was going out with amy and i had PE with her so although i didn't get details, i did find out that a cop caught them making out at 4 a.m. on a playground we frequented behind Mt. Bethel elementary school.
