Memory 1: The OSOP ~ Happy Birthday, Jocey!

For this year's JGT Birthday Cycle, we are going to be doing something a bit different. Much like how this comic was created, all three JGT girls will be helping out with creating these birthday posts.

For each JGT girl's birthday, the other two friends will pick their favorite memory of her. It can be happy, it can be sappy, or it can be straight up random! This memory will be the theme of the birthday post.

First up is, of course, Jocey's birthday! Huzzah!

So, Taylor and I decided to pick a Jocey memory that would always make us happy and nostalgic. It's the memory of the OSOP, the Oxymoron Scarf of Pain!

Jocey received the OSOP when we were all around...13-14 years old. It was a green scarf with peace signs on it, and Jocey wore it pretty often.

But...we're talking about young Jocey. And, very much like her comic-self, she was very spirited and very feisty. And she poked us. A lot.

One day, we found ourselves hanging out at Grape Day Park, where the slide resembled a big bundle of grapes, and the jungle gym was made up of giant grape vines (as seen in the picture). We climbed, ran around, filmed silly videos, and ultimately, ran away from Jocey and her dangerous poking-finger!

We told Jocey, "Man, you're so violent for someone who wears a peace sign scarf!"

Jocey then said, "Well, I'm an oxymoron."

And the Oxymoron Scarf of Pain was born....and we could never forget it.

Truthfully, Taylor and I really do love this memory. It just really captured who Jocey was and is, and that couldn't make us smile more.

So, from us to you, Jocey, Happy Birthday! We hope it's a wonderful one, filled with love, laughs, and an oxymoron here and there.

From,

Genie, Taylor, and JGT
