Many memories of Jessica have flooded my mind for the past two weeks. Her lovely singing voice, her hilarious nicknames for people, her fast paced gate... I've been thinking of her a lot and many snippets of the times we spent together pop into my mind daily. Today I remembered that I saw my first New York celebrity with her! On the first sunny days of spring. Jess, Robyn and I were searching some neighborhood in NYC for a good spot to drink a beer outside. As those things go, it was soon too chilly to drink outside and, forced inside a bar, we were jostled around in a gang of adult frat boys. Grumbling, I suggested we look elsewhere, but it was then that Jess spotted the aforementioned celebrity, the one the only, Paul Rudd. "Isn't that the guy from Clueless?" It sure was. I was wide-eyed, Robyn couldn't place him, and Jess smiled and shrugged her shoulders like, hey, this is cool, but he's not that big of a deal. Funny. Today I thought of Jess as I watched a girl with pink hair cross the street. My first memory of her was from the manic panic years. Robyn pointed across campus to a quickly disappearing pink dot and said, "See that cute girl with the bright pink hair? I want to know her." I'm glad that I knew Jessica and I'll keep sharing the memories as they come to me.
