and now I remember !!

there is that one time..
when I spend a couple hours alone with John..... in my car
He was so sweet and funny...always smiling, of course
how could I forget that night....

it was one Sunday evening after school.. after Flannery's....
John had to catch a plane at JFK.. and he still had no idea about how to get there but the cab.

So I said I will drive him there..
After some more beer.. He suggested we leave the party because of the unpredictable traffic in Queens....

He was so friendly to me although we didn't talk a lot during school time.

We talked about classes
We talked about professors
...We started worried about the time
We talked about classmate.... AKA gossip ha ha...
...We really worried about the time... and started talking about his next flight schedule.. which I believe it's in the next morning...or something...

And then,
John did something that I was half surprised and half in horror....
He laid back and lift his leg+his shoe up in front of my car console...

"Arrggghhhh.... My car..My wax !! I just cleaned it !!!!!!! You (westerner) !! put your feet and your shoe away right now !!!!! "
I was screaming

in my mind.. of course

then we talked about this and that.... but I knew he was worried that he will miss his flight.
Still, he keep saying "it's OK, elly. You dont have to rush... if I'm late, I will figure something out"
Still, I felt so guilty at that time.... because I thought it shouldn't take more than an hour for a trip to JFK on Sunday evening.
Finally, we got to JFK by 2mins before the check-in time..
and John said to me...

"You see? we get here in time.. I know I can trust you and you know what you're doing"
We say goodbye and smile at each other... but I think we both were sweating at the inside.....ha ha

But one thing I learned from him is the kindness and his calm for the situation... I need to learn that, seriously...
Oh.. can I write more?
I had this dream last week... another weird dream of mine....

it was my last day in NY.. We just finished school....
I went to hug all my Asian Gangsters.. and I ran across street to the other bus stop in front of Pratt to say goodbye to Chris, Adileh, and John..
then everyone's face becomes John's face.. even the extras (at that bus stop)
just like that movie--Being John Malkovich ?!

That's it... that's all I wanna share with you guys about my little memory of John..

John Dymtrow, It was a short time.. but your signature smile has already imprinted in my heart... I will miss you and your way to enjoy life...... YEAH !! BABY !!
