If you are a person on this page, you might learn some very interesting things you never knew about how I felt about you.  You might learn I even had a crush on you at some point in my life. The main point of this page is to explain previous relationships and current relationships to all the people who ever knew me or wanted to know me.  Relationships have always been my weakness - and in some cases - my only weakness. This could be confession time, I suppose, but the main reason I went with this page is because Jonathan Graham invented this idea on his web page, and I thought it was a terrific idea. He is currently experiencing problems with his current relationship, but while he is in that relationship, hey, she's gotten him to take his relationships page down.  Maybe that won't happen to me. ;-) 

So, without further hesitation....
(only people who have been termed 'serious' at one time or another appear on this page)

Reanna - She was way back as West Elementary School. I do not remember too much about her ('specially from way back then!), but I eventually ran into her once again at Wallace State College - during the summer of 1996.  We were quite shocked to run into one another in that biology class. She said she recognized me, but I did not have a clue as  to who she was until the teacher called out the roll.  She gave me a little bit of a life back in Cullman, as I hung out with her for about three months after we met that summer. She also worked with another, um, sort of friend, Heather, who I was in the Wallace State Jazz Band with at the time.  This whole. relationship...thing grew away with time, as we never really talked much anymore.  This was extremely unusual, though, to know her in elementary school, and then run into her again in college.  I had always thought she had moved away.

Tonya - Welcome to sixth grade.  I still had a major speech problem, it was in the process of being corrected with braces. I just started band, and my wonderful sister was a "hot" 8th grade cheerleader.  She was picking on her little brother one afternoon, and asked me who I thought the hottest girl was.  I wasn't really into girls yet, but the only who who had remotely caught my attention was Tonya.  Low and behold, my sister proceeded to fix me up with her.  That, more or less, consisted of about a week - but it was still the start of relationships for me in middle school.  It ended on good terms, and Tonya and I still talked off and on through the end of High School.  As a matter of fact, I recall I typed her Senior Term Paper for her. :)

Leslie  - The biggest joke of my life. I had just entered seventh grade, and had apparently caught the attention of an attractive eighth grade flute player's attention.  She called me at home one night (I think), and arranged a date with me.  My family went completely ballistic over this one - they couldn't stop talking about it. My mom drove me to the movie theatre Friday night where I met this girl - and while we were watching the movie, apparently drove to her house to check it out. We were seeing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, except it was me watching the movie - all she could do was talk to her friends.  I never got the time of day.  At the conclusion of the movie, she informed me someone was coming to pick her up, and a few hours later, I received a phone call from one of her friends - informing me she didn't want to see me anymore.  That was....the end.  Like I said....the biggest joke of my life.

Brandi - She was the first real experience of love.  I was working extremely hard on being an all-state percussionist in the middle school band. I used to spend a lot of afternoons at the middle school band room - more to socialize, than anything else, but still, to improve myself where I could compete against other folks for All-State. My dad had recently told me how I could win movie passes on a local radio station by answering a "morning trivia" question. (which I later worked for WXXR, believe it or not).  Sure enough, I eventually answered a question, and won movie passes.  Brandi was a young girl, in sixth grade, who was working to be a mallet player. We were just outside the band room one way when I offered to take her to the movies on my movie passes.  Of course, she couldn't really go out in sixth grade (which I eventually found out...hehe), but we were still pretty good friends.  Word spread about what had taken place that afternoon, and next thing I knew, people were asking us if we were going out.  Neither one of us knew what to say - so eventually, we got together another afternoon after school - and since the entire school thought we were going out - we decided that was fine.  This lasted, oh, I don't know, three months? No, I think it was longer than that.  I got really attached to Brandi, and also - having a girlfriend - apparently made me 'hotter' property. The older sister never made fun of me anymore because I was in a different school from her - and she never knew what was happening with me. I remember flirting with a lot of people after school the same way I met Brandi, which was the first experience I really had with this.  I also had some problems develop because of this, which I won't repeat as they are not good memories.  (my mom had to intervene...oh...no!).  Eventually, Brandi and I became an "item."  Her older sister, Amber, was in my math class with me, and most of the time, the teacher, Coach Page, would constantly discuss relationships.  That was just...an interesting situation. :)  
The Breakup - As time went on, Gadsden Honor band occurred. This was a place where people from different schools got together and competed.  I managed to get first chair of the gold band at this honor band, and was put in a section with a lot of other girls (Rhee Bundrum was one of the other girls I remember from this competition, but we never kept in touch). The gold band rehearsed on the second floor of the cafeteria, and whenever it was time to eat downstairs, I would ride down in the elevator - typically with a lot of those other girls.  Rumors started to spread, and next thing you know, the middle school gossip told Brandi I had cheated on her. I did not find this out until several weeks after the fact - but I remember when she told me it was best that we did not see each other anymore one day during break when I had gone to visit her - that that was the first time I had actually felt pain when someone ended a relationship with me.

more coming....stay tuned. =)
