While typing the previous post, I remembered that PK had tried to get in contact with me recently. I received a call around September or October last year from him while I was at work. Normally when I get a message from someone unfamiliar, I just hit the erase button and call it a day but it was something about the voice I heard that made me keep it.....well that and the fact that I heard my full name. The message as it played out basically said he was looking for me, stated his name (which I couldn't understand), and said that he would call back at a later time. I listened to the recording he left repeatedly for days and could not figure out what name was being said or who the voice belonged to. I even made Z listen a few times to see if he could decipher anything. After about the 5th day of trying to figure it out, I finally struck gold and heard the name ......Preacher's Kid. I literally screamed out loud because the mystery had been solved. I also figured out the reason I couldn't understand him is because when he stated his name some noise was interfering (it kind of sounded like someone was talking over a loudspeaker) and he didn't repeat himself.
After calming down, I then wondered...what the hell did/does he want? I wish I could tell you but he has yet to call back. I must admit I was initially bummed out because curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know what was up and how he was doing. I haven't laid eyes on him or talked with him in like 15 years and it would be awesome to catch up. Random thought.....every time I refer to something in the past using double digits like that I feel old as hell. Anyway, I know that he got married not too much longer after he split from our hometown, lives in NC (or was the last time I heard) and had a couple of kids (gotta love the small town grapevine network). Oh well, for what it's worth I hope all is well with him.

Who knows maybe he wants to catch up with you too. I hope he calls back so you can find out what he wanted. Don't you hate when someone calls you and you're left wondering what they hell they wanted unless or until they contact you again?
I still kind of hope he does too if nothing more than to find out what he initially wanted. Yes I do hate that. And he called from an unknown number so I can't return the call. Hmmmmm, now that I think about it he may have been in jail!! Naaaw, he would have had to call collect right?
Lemme stop thinkin about this and take my black ass to bed. lol
If he is like me, he got one of those like is short, tell your parents you love them, and reconnect with your friends forwards and decided to pull out the old address book and see who he could catch up with. :-)
Or maybe he was reminded of your cherry burst experience and was like...yah know, I have her number, let me see what's going on with her....
:-D
I don't even know how he got my number. I guess he could have looked it up online though. The cherry burst (giggles) experience wasn't all that great (at least it wasn't for me) so I don't see why that would have been the reason. We did have fun when we were together though.
I feel old to when I refer to something using double digits. I'm like damn it was that long ago.
FYI: some jails allow calling cards so you don't have to call collect. So he could be in jail. lol
Calling cards? When they start doing that? I bet you have to have tons of dollars on your books. Anyway, for his sake I hope that's not true.
