SuperPsaturn (4:11:57 PM): Hi there.
Alena134 (4:12:04 PM): hello
SuperPsaturn (4:12:29 PM): I was going through your webpage and I noticed you had Anthony Pratl on it.
Alena134 (4:12:54 PM): yeah, how did you know him
SuperPsaturn (4:13:10 PM): He was my best friend in middleschool.
Alena134 (4:13:24 PM): i'm sure he mentioned you to me
Alena134 (4:13:26 PM): what's your name again
SuperPsaturn (4:13:30 PM): Jeff
Alena134 (4:13:38 PM): yeah that rings a bell
Alena134 (4:14:40 PM): so he was in a car accident? no one really told me much about what happened
SuperPsaturn (4:15:14 PM): Yeah he skidded off the road into a tree.
Alena134 (4:15:49 PM): :-( was he with anyone?
SuperPsaturn (4:16:20 PM): Yeah he was with his girlfriend.
SuperPsaturn (4:16:24 PM): But she survived.
SuperPsaturn (4:16:54 PM): Luckily she only severed her spine and was confined to a wheelchair.
Alena134 (4:17:05 PM): that's so sad
SuperPsaturn (4:17:07 PM): SHe's doing good now though.
SuperPsaturn (4:17:16 PM): She's learning to paint with her mouth.
Alena134 (4:17:38 PM): wow really? she is paralized from the neck down or something?
SuperPsaturn (4:17:45 PM): Yeah.
SuperPsaturn (4:17:53 PM): Not that it matters since she lost her legs anyway.
Alena134 (4:18:16 PM): all of this from skidding into a tree?
SuperPsaturn (4:18:17 PM): So it's kind of a lucky break since she doesn't have to go through the irony of having legs and not being able to use them.
SuperPsaturn (4:18:38 PM): Well she was hurled into the windshield and went mostly through it.
Alena134 (4:19:01 PM): what exactly killed tony
SuperPsaturn (4:19:12 PM): But her legs were pinned to the dashboard and were gangerous when they found her.
SuperPsaturn (4:19:21 PM): Well he really smashed right into that tree.
Alena134 (4:19:42 PM): gosh.. they must have been going really fast
Alena134 (4:19:47 PM): what was his girlfriend's name?
SuperPsaturn (4:19:54 PM): He might as well of jumped off a building into the pavement as hard as he hit.
SuperPsaturn (4:20:08 PM): I believe her name is Ashley.
SuperPsaturn (4:20:23 PM): I don't visit her much because it's hard to look at her.
Alena134 (4:20:52 PM): yeah, i understand
Alena134 (4:20:59 PM): that's so tragic
SuperPsaturn (4:21:07 PM): Yeah I know.
SuperPsaturn (4:21:20 PM): What's really tragic is that she was quite a looker before the accident.
SuperPsaturn (4:21:33 PM): So I understand you were his girlfriend for a while too?
Alena134 (4:22:04 PM): well, i was his "internet" girlfriend through 7th and part of 8th grade. well, i'm a year older than him though
SuperPsaturn (4:22:20 PM): Ah yeah, he never told me about you.
SuperPsaturn (4:22:41 PM): I guess he was kind of embarrassed about having an online girlfriend since he couldn't get a real one.
Alena134 (4:23:43 PM): possibly. it was just so weird when none of his email addresses worked and I couldn't find him on aim or icq
SuperPsaturn (4:24:23 PM): Yeah, they discontinued his service in his memory after he was creamated.
Alena134 (4:25:01 PM): oh he was creamated
SuperPsaturn (4:25:04 PM): Yeah.
Alena134 (4:25:29 PM): :-\ oh well
SuperPsaturn (4:25:32 PM): It only seemed like the right thing to do because he was pretty much disfigured beyond recognition when they pulled his corpse out of that wreck.
SuperPsaturn (4:25:48 PM): They didn't want people puking at the wake or anything.
Alena134 (4:26:23 PM): gosh
SuperPsaturn (4:26:23 PM): Plus it saved them some money I understand since they didn't have to bury him. They took him out to see and dumped it out.
Alena134 (4:27:04 PM): how did you find my website?
Alena134 (4:27:10 PM): were you searching under his name or something
SuperPsaturn (4:27:14 PM): Yeah.
Alena134 (4:27:25 PM): what search engine?
SuperPsaturn (4:27:26 PM): I was caught up in one of my teary moments thinking about him.
SuperPsaturn (4:27:33 PM): Google
SuperPsaturn (4:28:03 PM): I remember us both going through the woods as kids looking for crawdads in the ol' river.
Alena134 (4:28:03 PM): do you have any pics of him online or anything more recent than the one i had?
SuperPsaturn (4:28:25 PM): Well I used to, but looking at them just made me too depressed so I had to delete them.
SuperPsaturn (4:28:38 PM): And they were taking up space on my computer.
Alena134 (4:28:46 PM): uhh ok
SuperPsaturn (4:29:13 PM): Did he ever tell you about the time we went into that abandoned house on Millbury street?
Alena134 (4:29:25 PM): that sounds really familiar
SuperPsaturn (4:29:37 PM): We were both a lot younger then.
Alena134 (4:30:00 PM): didnt he have a friend Jessica Del Alcazar or something like that
SuperPsaturn (4:30:07 PM): We had heard it was haunted but Tony was always a warrior at heart so he insisted we check it out.
Alena134 (4:30:23 PM): heh that's cool
SuperPsaturn (4:30:37 PM): Yeah so we crept in through some broken boards and heard a sound.
SuperPsaturn (4:30:50 PM): I was going to run away but Tony grabbed my arm and told me he'd protect me.
SuperPsaturn (4:31:04 PM): I always felt safe when he was nearby.
SuperPsaturn (4:31:23 PM): So we went up stairs and there was some homeless black guy sleeping in the tub.
SuperPsaturn (4:32:18 PM): He screamed at us and through a liquor bottle so we got out of there as quick as we could.
Alena134 (4:32:34 PM): hehe
Alena134 (4:33:47 PM): he sounds like a great guy. i know he has relatives in wisconsin so i was hoping to be able to meet him in person some day
SuperPsaturn (4:34:13 PM): Yeah he was a great guy.
SuperPsaturn (4:34:24 PM): We told the police about the guy in the house and they arrested him.
SuperPsaturn (4:34:30 PM): I guess he killed himself in prison.
Alena134 (4:34:41 PM): dang
SuperPsaturn (4:34:47 PM): Good old Tony always gets the last word in.
SuperPsaturn (4:34:56 PM): You gotta love that about him.
Alena134 (4:35:16 PM): maybe their in heaven now laughing about it
SuperPsaturn (4:35:27 PM): Well Tony probably is.
Alena134 (4:35:40 PM): why did they arrest that man
Alena134 (4:35:42 PM): what did he do
SuperPsaturn (4:35:43 PM): My dad told me homeless people go to hell for taking up space.
Alena134 (4:35:57 PM): that's fucked up
SuperPsaturn (4:35:58 PM): I think he was a rapist.
SuperPsaturn (4:36:04 PM): So they arrested him.
Alena134 (4:36:04 PM): i see
SuperPsaturn (4:36:37 PM): How did you feel when you heard Anthony died?
Alena134 (4:37:41 PM): well his big brother told me on the phone, at first i wanted to be like "are you kidding?!" i guess i was just in disbelief but then i hung up and just cried. and thankfully i still had the picture he mailed to me in 8th grade, and i lit a candle and told him goodbye
SuperPsaturn (4:38:25 PM): Ah yeah.
SuperPsaturn (4:38:30 PM): He'd of liked that.
Alena134 (4:39:11 PM): i figure if there's a heaven and he's up there, he would've come to look if someone was talking to him, so i figured he finally got to see me. heh
SuperPsaturn (4:39:29 PM): Yeah.
SuperPsaturn (4:39:50 PM): Did you ever send him pictures of yourself naked?
Alena134 (4:40:01 PM): uh, no
SuperPsaturn (4:40:02 PM): Because I remember he liked to do that a lot.
Alena134 (4:40:14 PM): we never did anything like that...
SuperPsaturn (4:40:32 PM): Yeah he'd always be bragging that he'd gotten some broad to send him naked pictures.
SuperPsaturn (4:40:41 PM): I guess he was a real cassanova online.
Alena134 (4:40:56 PM): hehe
Alena134 (4:40:59 PM): he typed so badly
Alena134 (4:41:02 PM): it was kind of cute
SuperPsaturn (4:41:08 PM): Haha.
SuperPsaturn (4:41:13 PM): What a kid.
SuperPsaturn (4:41:56 PM): If he'd been better at talking to girls in real life that whole situation probably wouldn't of happened.
Alena134 (4:42:08 PM): how so
SuperPsaturn (4:42:27 PM): You know, that whole thing with the girl he asked out.
SuperPsaturn (4:42:31 PM): Not when he died.
Alena134 (4:42:58 PM): i dont know if i know what you're talking about
SuperPsaturn (4:43:07 PM): He never told you about that?
SuperPsaturn (4:43:27 PM): There was this girl he liked that he asked to one of the school dances.
SuperPsaturn (4:43:45 PM): And she wasn't really interested but he'd constantly ask her so she finally said yes.
SuperPsaturn (4:44:24 PM): And I guess he was all excited because that day before the dance he told me something like "Hey man, wish me luck. I'm losin' it tonight."
SuperPsaturn (4:44:44 PM): And then the next day I heard he had a restraining order put on him.
Alena134 (4:45:55 PM): dang
SuperPsaturn (4:45:58 PM): He wouldn't really go into detail but I guess she was really uppity about fondling on the first date.
SuperPsaturn (4:46:17 PM): And you know, Tony's not one to take no for an answer.
Alena134 (4:46:29 PM): i guess i didnt know him as well as i thought
Alena134 (4:46:37 PM): he seemed so shy and innocent online
SuperPsaturn (4:46:47 PM): Oh yeah he was really shy.
SuperPsaturn (4:47:33 PM): But now I imagine he can be as open and flamboyant as he wants.
Alena134 (4:47:50 PM): frolick around naked
SuperPsaturn (4:47:56 PM): Yeah whatever he likes.
Alena134 (4:48:12 PM): wasnt he saving up for some car
SuperPsaturn (4:48:14 PM): At least he's survived by that girl though.
SuperPsaturn (4:48:46 PM): Yeah he was. If he'd held out a little longer and not bought that used piece of shit he might still be alive and recognizable.
Alena134 (4:49:08 PM): yeah how did the car skid? was it raining out or something or just a shitty car
SuperPsaturn (4:49:28 PM): A shitty car and I think there was an oil slick on the pavement.
SuperPsaturn (4:49:39 PM): Plus I guess he was kind of depressed at the time.
SuperPsaturn (4:49:54 PM): So you know, I'm not one to speculate but maybe he didn't exactly "skid" if you know what I mean.
Alena134 (4:50:09 PM): i dont think he'd wanna take out his girlfriend
SuperPsaturn (4:50:17 PM): Eh, I dunno.
Alena134 (4:50:20 PM): well, he must have been going very fast
SuperPsaturn (4:50:28 PM): I think he'd thought she was cheating on him.
SuperPsaturn (4:51:16 PM): He punched her in the face a few days before because he found a condom in her room.
Alena134 (4:51:30 PM): wow
Alena134 (4:51:34 PM): hitting girls is not nice
SuperPsaturn (4:51:35 PM): Yeah I know.
SuperPsaturn (4:51:57 PM): I was like "holy shit."
Alena134 (4:52:10 PM): this sucks, it's like you're tlaking about a totally different person than the tony i knew, but it's hard to know people very well online sometimes
SuperPsaturn (4:52:16 PM): And he just said "The bitch had it comin'"
Alena134 (4:52:27 PM): =(
SuperPsaturn (4:52:35 PM): Yeah well I'm sure you should just remember him as the sweet guy he was to you online.
SuperPsaturn (4:52:47 PM): Hey, I've gotta go. Nice talking with you though.
Alena134 (4:53:02 PM): yeah thanks for messaging me
Alena134 (4:53:05 PM): i really appreciate it
Alena134 (4:53:06 PM): goodbye
