I remember the first time I met Ashke, she came into California to visit loupy, and we all went to a party together, and I was so excited to meet her. When she showed up to Moppy's house I was just... awestruck. She was every bit as bouncy and happy and vibrant and...ashke-like as she was on the board. It was..surreal, and from that instant I totally fell in love with the girl (if you can platonically fall in love, anyway). We exchanged bracelets with each other, and I couldnt tell you now which one she gave me, but I do still have it hanging up on my wall with all my old candy stuff - the relics of a time when I was more carefree, and happy, just wanted to have fun.
I'm fortunate enough to still know where to get in touch with her, but It's still been ages since I last spoke with her. I really miss that girl.
