Five things you never knew about JHJ.
June 13th, 2009
Clean off my camera week is still going since I missed a couple of days. Tonight’s subject is JHJ. A month or so ago I talked him into a little impromptu photo session, and I never got to show you dear Internet! There are MANY MANY things nobody knows about JHJ, myself included. UNLIKE me, who is an open book, and could not keep a secret if my life depended on it, JHJ likes his privacy–but I do know some interesting things.
1. JHJ used to have a really cute perfectly round mole on his right cheek, close to his chin. A mean kid teased him about it, and my parents let him have it removed when he was seven or eight. When people asked where he got the scar, he used to tell them he was in a car wreck. I wonder if he now regrets having his sweet little beauty mark removed?
2. He has always been really shy. He acts like he just gets easily annoyed by people (which is true) but he is mostly just uncomfortable talking to new people. Except on the phone. He (and me too!) has MAD phone skills.
3. He is great with children, and while I doubt he ever will be one, I think he would be an AWESOME teacher–unless he had to deal with their parents.
4. He used to color code the lighters when he worked at the store owned by CAT‘’s family. She would mess them all up just so he would have something to do while he was working. He did not appreciate this gesture.
5. He is afraid of the Aliens on Sesame Street that say “yup yup yup yup.”
6. He is probably really not pleased I used him as a blog post, but I think he is cute and like pictures of him, and it is my blog and I am still his bossy older sister and I can do what I want. So there.

Clearly one of us has forgotten the agreement made on that day.
I think you may have fictionalized the removal of the mole.
1. I don’t remember anyone ever commenting on it at all, much less “some mean kid” talking me into surgery. If such a mean kid existed, I imagine she’s the author of this blog.
2. As I remember it, there was a possibility that the mole was pre-cancerous and was removed for medical reasons. Surely our parents wouldn’t have allowed me to have cosmetic surgery for no good reason.
3. I may have said I was in a car wreck, but it was certainly not out of embarrassment. I still say things like that. It amuses me when people believe them.
Also, I recently saw a YouTube video of those aliens and I am proud to report that I was not frightened. Just annoyed. That’s a stupid sketch.
I’m not touching this one with a ten foot pole. But, I do like the pics.
THERE WAS TOO A MEAN KID WHO TEASED YOU! Other than me. When we lived in Roswell he lived in the second house on the left as you were leaving the subdivision. I can’t remember his name but he lived across from those slutty Korean girls (Lordy, I know all Koreans are not slutty, but these two were.) He kept saying you had poop on your face. You asked to have it removed. It MAY have been precancerous WAY in the future and you hated it, so Mom and Dad let you have it removed and you told everyone the scar came from a car wreck……And did I really promise not to put those pics online? Because I remember conversations from twenty years ago, but not that one. Oh, and congrats on conquering your phobia. Yup. Yup. Uh-huh. Yup.
I totally agree about the teaching thing…JHJ rocked the socks off the middle schoolers at that church where he served as my intern. They absolutely adored him and hung on his every word. More than a year after he left, the kids were still talking about “J-the-intern” and all the stuff he talked about.
Just don’t ask him to fill a Coke machine…he will respond with, “I won’t be doing that” in a perfect dead-pan. His boss (i.e. me) was always left wondering whether he was serious or not. A couple of hours later (after I’d filled the damn Coke machine), I realized he must have been serious.
