I remember the first time I met you was when you were working at subway on Kbeach. The first thing you said to me was you made the best sandwhiches in the world. After that you asked me for my number and right as you go it you texted me, and then said I had to make sure it wasn't a fake number. That was the start of a great friendship. I remember how you told me you loved Marilyn Manson, and you set my ringtone as beautiful people, because I said he was kinda scary.

The first time we ever hung out was the funnest night of my life. You named my kitty flopalopogas (Which I call her sometimes now) and you chased me outside because I took your picture.

I miss you a lot Aj. I'm getting a tattoo for you. It's going to be amazing.

Love you<3

One time back before my daughter was born Aj came to visit me when I was living in the purple Duplex back over close to K-Beach. He visited with me for a few hrs,

Tommy came home and drank a little on an empty stomach, no AJ did not drink, but when all 3 of us piled into the car to take AJ home all the way there Tommy and AJ messed with me. Played the music loud and sang bad lyrics right along with the CD. Made me so mad but made me smile at the same time. All I remember i when I did finally pulled over too the side of the road, Tommy backed off a little but not AJ...he kept going but then when I was througly pissed at him he cacked a really good joke. I cannot remember what it was but it made all the anger drop away and I smiled.

He was always so willing to pick up and make a joke out of any situation.  I loved that..I just forgot how he was like that..

AJ, I never knew you well. But now that I hear everyone talking, I wish I had. You seem like you were an amazing person. And a jokester too!

The first time I met you, you scared the crap out of me. You know that, right? I was eighteen, it was my first day at the alternative school, and I had a newborn just barely over a month old. I was trying to juggle holding her, and digging through my backpack and diaper bag looking for something... I don't know what. Probably a pacifier or something silly... and you said "I can hold her for you."

I looked up and was thinking, he's kidding right? You had black hair, peircings... You didn't look like a baby friendly person! Then, you must have noticed my hesitation and you said "Don't worry! If I drop her, she'll bounce!"

Well, I didn't let you hold her, but it was still funny as heck and you made me smile. :)

I hope you aren't upset with me. I took it upon myself to put a memorial up for you. No one else had, and I really thought that you deserved one.
