Description:
Every sunday for two weeks he would bring me a root beer float from the "tasty-freeze" two blocks away. We would sit on the hood of his big yellow cadillac, talk and listen to death metal. I was 14 he was 18 and he made me nervous because he liked me too much and I barely knew him. I liked the root-beer floats and the fact that he wrote my name all over his car for the whole world to see in big black scribbly letters. A few years later we ended up working at the same old folks home together. I was a "dietician" (glorified cafeteria worker) and he was a CNA.
He was also very very gay and did a lot of drugs and wore too much make-up and jewelry. We would joke about how silly he was back before he came out.
