I didn't actually date EVH, but I DID briefly date a kid in High School that looked like EVH. Since I graduated nearly 20 years ago, what makes me write about him you ask? I received a quicknote from him through Classmates.com recently. I have thought about him every time I hear ANY Van Halen (not Van Hagar) song.
He was a sweet kid, intelligent, good looking (obviously) & kind. He would walk to my house to see me in the dead of winter. HELLO! In Northern Illinois it gets VERY cold! I also laugh every single time I hear "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" by Elmo & Patsy. I laugh because I remember hearing it when we went out with a kid named Don. We were in the Pizza Hut parking lot & I fell on my butt because I was wearing penny loafers & slipped on an icy patch outside. OMG! I laughed SO hard I thought I was going to pee my corduroys! I can't imagine what I must have looked liked, laying in the PH parking lot laughing like a loon. Those were good times.
I also remember after he broke up with me, I saw him with Becky. I admit that didn't know her, but I remember thinking "OMG! What can he possibly see in THAT bitchy dog!" Like I said, I never knew her, it's just the impression I got from her....even BEFORE I dated Burke.
The following year every time we ordered pizza from "Happy Joe's", Burke would deliver to our house. Just pizza (Get your mind out of the gutter!)
He ended up marrying a nice girl that played the Flute in the band. She was always nice to me but I didn't really know her either. They have kids & are still married. How cool is that! Being married to your HS Sweetheart!
I had to date MANY, MANY flakes before I found the love of my life. I'm just glad that I finally found him. How lucky am I! I have a wonderful man in my life, two beautiful little girls, a new home & have been doing TONS of self-improvement work. I'm feeling more content & am regaining my self-confidence little by little. My dear sweet husband loves me & all of my baggage. Like I said...I am a lucky lady.
