ya ya story

so this one time when me and dernt were still dating, back in 2000 or something, we were hanging out boozing with our friends seth and kelly. seth was known for snowboarding badly, blaring the lesser known Fat Wreck Chords bands from his accord, and throwing up on himself while sleeping. Kelly was dating seth. On this night, kelly was upset with seth at his lack of romantic innuendo. "juli and jon have been dating for like eight years, and look at them, theyre soo romantic; they have cute nicknames for each other" she said. jon and i were wrapped up in each other on the couch. "he's my dernte," was all i could say.

now, little did most people know, the nickname dernte was a simple derivative of j.p's full name, jonathan. i began calling him that, and it evolved to jertha, and then to dernte, and i even sometimes called him "Deh." Dernte called me Fee, which developed from Fiahtah, which had arisen from Fatty, my nickname from punk rock Ryan Aspy as well as my obsession with all things fat, especially cats.

But seth didn't know about Fee. Kelly called us later that week dying laughing. Seth had left her a message: "Hey Dernte...I want to know if you wanna get dinner.."

He got ya ya'd for about 20 minutes straight by the entire snod fam + deh and kelly.


love, peki
