October 25, 1992 - Sunday - Parade, Gator Growl

October 25, 1992 - Sunday
What a party! Gainesville has suddenly been transformed into thousands of sweaty, drunk people. And the girls are more gorgeous than ever. I got to the point this weekend where I thought I was going to explode!!! I've been working on my image all week out in the pit. The pit is a huge grassy depression in between Beaty, yulee, and Broward halls. There are oak trees scattered around the edges, and it makes the perfect place to lay out and get a tan when you can't get to a beach. And the weather this week has been beautiful. I actually, at one point, got so hot that I thought for a second that I was at the beach in Tampa. It felt damn good. I love the heat. It has all really paid off, too, because I'm getting dark as hell. It looks really good. I figure this will probably be that tan that has to last me through the winter.

Sunbathing in the pit has it's fringe benefits as well. Almost every other person down there is a girl. And these girls are gorgeous!!! Very gorgeous! And they're not afraid to show off. It's great flirting with them, or waking up to find one gazing at you, and then turning away as she realizes that I'm awake now. I saw one girl who had her top undone, and as a another girl walked up to talk to her, she sat up and just let her tits hang there barely covered by her bra. I was impressed, she was perfect. And I saw a lot more than I should have. Ed and I saw something similar out in front of Beaty the other day when we decided to wash some laundry. These two girls were outside sunbathing. The better looking one sat up with her top still just hanging there unsnapped, and we saw practically all she had to show. I then realized that this is a girl that I've just started seeing around Beaty, and I think she's really cute. She flirts back and I love it. I made sure that she noticed my interest in her as she lay there looking in. It was really cool.

Friday was when the girls came out full force. Ed and I got an early start on the weekend by heading over to the Reitz Union for breakfast. I bought a dozen Dunkin Doughnuts, including six Boston creams for me, and Ed bought pizza for the both of us. There were two cute girls at the table next to us and I flirted. We then headed back to the Towers to get Jon so that we could all head over to the Homecoming Parade. We walked down Thirteenth Street and were being really perverted. I took full advantage of the weekend, never missing a cute girl if possible. We got as close as possible to the street and ended up being right at the front and had perfect views. I took some pictures of some of the better floats, like the Volleyball Team. Patricia Moreno was walking along the side handing out schedules for this weekend's games and handed three to Jon. We were having a fun time, which was made better by the gorgeous girls all around us. Ed and I had a field day picking out the good looking Sorority girls as well as the ones in the crowds. This older guy who was there with his family and friends kept agreeing with my picks and joking with us. It was funny. I saw this girl that I met through Tama the other day, and kept flirting with her. I'm sure that she recognized me because I'm just so hard to forget.

I then looked up and sideways into the crowd, and POP, there was Nicole's ugly little face smiling at me form about twenty feet away. She is up[ for the weekend visiting Ali. She came u with Tanya who is staying over at Cindy and Jana's. Cindy had told me that Tanya was coming, but she didn't mention Nicole. We walked over to each other and hugged and asked each other what was up. I mentioned that I was just in Tampa over the weekend but didn't get around to trying to call her. She said to call Tanya next time to get her number. I gave her mine up here in case she wanted to call before she left. I then went back over with Ed and Jon. Ed ended up heading back a few minutes before we did, because he had a bicycle shopping date with Heidi. Jon and I walked up and down University Ave. once to check out the girls. These two gorgeous girls asked Jon and I for directions. After we old them, I told Jon that they really didn't care about the directions, they were inadvertently telling us to fuck them now, and we had a good laugh.

Later on, Ed and I took a slow bicycle ride around the campus and sucked in all of the cute girls roaming the campus. We just couldn't believe it. At seven, all four of us headed off to Gator Growl. The girl's got even thicker, and we could see serious cleavage everywhere. It's fun scoping for girls with Chris because we'll then do something about it. We flirted with and joked with as many girls as we good. Our seats were on the very last row at the top of the stadium. It wasn't that bad because we had a much better view of the people and the laser shows. They would have been awful seats for a game though. We started a traditional student section paper fight and were throwing things at everyone. It was great. We even had a wave going on at one time. They had some smaller fireworks in the empty stands above the stage in the North end zone. They had two really good comedians, Larry Miller and David Alan Grier. They were great, we were cracking up. Miller had some awesome sex jokes. He was telling women that, when they try to think about what a man is thinking about when he is lusting over a woman, they have NOOOOO idea whatsoever!!! It was great. I almost lost my voice by the end of the Growl, which didn't end until eleven.

Ed and Chris left early to get some warmer clothes back at our room in Beaty, and we were supposed to meet them and Chris' friends outside of Joe's Deli across the street. Jon and I watched the grand finale laser light show. They blew tons of blue and orange crepe paper confetti out of these big tubes around the top of the stadium. We were standing right in it and were grabbing handfuls of it. Lots of it blew over the upper stadium walls and littered the surrounding campus. I was sort of surprised that they did that. Jon and I then headed out. Because I am tall, I can see all of the cute girls, and there were tons of them in the rush to get out. I got pressed up close to quite a few good looking ones. I was flirting a lot and having lots if fun. It was the best night of college so far! Jon and I met up with Mike and George at Joe's, but Chris and Ed never showed up. After an hour, we headed back to Beaty. They then turned up an hour later at the dorm, and after we bitched at them for taking so fucking long, we got in George's truck and went out partying.

We ended up at this big party at some sorority and hung out there for a while. There were some cute girls there but the bastards always leave too early when things start to get good. I met up with this girl from my German class. She was there with her boyfriend and the tall girl that I think is cute from my Physics class. She tried to talk German to me, but she was completely drunk. I'm thinking about making fun of her tomorrow. I drank some beer, and it's actually starting to taste better. We then went to Miami Subs where the girls were just as gorgeous. After we ate, Ed, Jon, and I had George drop us off back at the Towers. Dammit, Homecoming weekend and I didn't get laid!!! Oh well. I'm starting to figure out that you don't need a special occasion. I hope I can find a girl real soon who will prove me right, besides Abby.

On Saturday, Chris' father and Aunt stopped by to pick him up and take him to Jacksonville. His father is really nice and interesting. I liked him a lot. We talked about how your college years are some of the best times of your life, and also about me taking German. After they left, Ed, Jon, and I went shopping for groceries at Albertson's. I ended up saving nine dollars with coupons, and I only had about eight. They were off of things that I would have normally bought anyway, that was good.

At five, Ed and I biked over to the O'Connell Center to see the Florida-Auburn volleyball game. When we got there, the usher told us that because of that nights Kris Kross concert, the game was over in the Florida Gym. When we got there, the Gators were already winning the second set, and the stands were packed. We ended up with front row seats, but all of the way at the corner. They weren't nearly as bad as the ones way up high where we first sat though. I soon got really into the game and remembered why I love volleyball so much. The program had Keri Uptegraph's picture on it. After the game, we headed down to the court to try and get autographs. Because it is Homecoming weekend, many of the girls' families were there visiting on court. I went up to Keri and had her sign the front of her picture. We joked around for a minute. I really like her personality. Ed told me that she reminded him of me. She's really good looking, too. The picture was taken last year and it looked as if she were a bit overweight. From far away she looks a little big, but when you're next to her, she's gorgeous. Proportioned perfectly! I was amazed. I also asked for and got Gudy to sign one, too. Now I'm going to have them laminated at Target Copy so that I can save them forever.

I went to today's game at two o'clock by myself. this one really was in the O'Connell Center. I just wanted to get a couple of this game's posters. Every home game, the programs have a different player on the front. This time it was Patricia Moreno, from Brazil. I decided to go ahead and go in. There weren't that many people so I went down about three rows up from the net. After I realized that I was on the wrong side of the net, facing the teams, instead of behind them as usual. I got up, pick up two programs, and went around to the other side. I sat about three seats up from the center of the net. Keri recognized me. I could tell because of the way she reacted when she first saw me. So did Gudula. Ed, Jon, and I joked that Keri will think that I am some kind of psycho or something if I go to games by myself and stare at her. Of course, I didn't.

October 22, 1992 - Thursday - Melissa, Tama

It's been a pretty cool week, but really busy. Oh yea, I got laid this weekend. Ha ha. I just finished up the last of my three tests this week just a few hors ago. It was for Physics. I'm not going to even assume how I did, because I'll probably jinx it.

Melissa and I decided to be partners for our oral portion of the mid-term. I was glad that we are finally going to get to do something together again. I went over to her room for about an hour at six and we wrote our dialogue. On the phone she told me that it didn't matter when I wanted to come over, that she was wide open all night. I liked that one and would have joked with anyone else. She was sitting on top of a picnic table near the entrance waiting for me. She looked really sexy, and I got a really big smile when I walked up. I want so much to make an impression on her, but I feel like I look stupid to her. I keep making the awful mistake of saying no to her. She asked me on the phone if I had eaten yet, and I said yes. I could have gone out to dinner with her dammit!!! And she would have driven. She was drinking Cappio outside of German today and when I asked her how it was, she asked me if I wanted some, but I said no. She looked really sexy sucking on the bottle neck like she did. I don't now what it is about her that causes me to act that way when I'm around her. I really wish it'd stop.

I called Tama before computer class and we walked down there together. We ended up staying the entire period because his review was supposed to help her on her make-up exam. We went and copied our new homework assignments off of the computers and then walked home. After I came back from Melissa's, I called Tama. She was typing a report, but at about eleven, I went up to her room and stayed for a while.

October 18, 1992 - Monday - October 18, 1992 - Monday

October 18, 1992 - Monday
To think, I come all the way to the University of Florida to go to school, and I have to go back home to Tampa to get laid. So, I've had sex, and it was pretty good. The other funny part is that she turned out being Abby.

Thursday night I went and met Cheryl out in front of the room where we were taking the computer mid-term and we talked for a little while. The test was a pain in the ass because Girish makes so many mistakes and sometimes has trouble getting his point across in English. It's not that hard for me to figure out what he wants, but I feel sorry for a lot of those people. This Indian woman teachers one of the other sections of the class and I kept flirting with her as often as I could. It was funny. I, of course, was the first person finished and I hurried back to my dorm so I could head for home. I'm really glad Jon leant me his glasses because it would have been a real bitch driving in the dark for me.

During, parts of my trip, there was nobody near me and I took my car up to at least one hundred miles per hour for a little ways. It's an awesome feeling going so fast. I had complete control over my car. It was great. I was in my dorm at 7:30 and was in my house by 9:30. That's fast. I sat around and caught up with my family before going to bed.

Chrissy and Cathy had school off on Friday, which I had no idea, so we all got up early and went to Sand Key. There were hardly any people there which made it that much better. I set up the cabana. Cathy and I started digging a hole and making a mountain out of the sand. She hasn't been to the beach very often and I wanted her to have some of those childhood 'at the beach' memories that I like so much. We ended up digging a huge three foot deep hole that filled up with water. She thought it was really neat and was jumping down into it. Then we went swimming. Chrissy and mother were on their periods. Ha ha. Cathleen really took to the water, she wasn't afraid at all. It was a bit cool being the middle of October, but it was very bearable. My family hasn't seen me with my shirt off in a long time because they have never been to the beach with me at all this year. I was already surprisingly dark. Running around like we did all day, I got a more even tan all over. Right now, my tan is beautiful.

After we got home I called Abby for old times' sake. We hadn't talked since about the middle of the summer, so she never got to give me her address so that I could write her. I could have called, especially right before I left but I was busy, and for a long time over the summer, she was up with her relatives in Massachusetts. She told me to come over and visit for a little while and I did. Her mom came home about forty-five minutes after I got there. We just sat around and caught up and did a little revealing. I asked her if she is still seeing Dave. She said yes, and it's been five months. They've even been having sex now for about a month.

We then started talking about why we never went out in high school and I was being really open. She said that she really likes how I talk a lot more now. I told her that for a while, I didn't really pick up on her hints, and then that I didn't ask her out because we became pretty good friends and I was afraid of turning her away by being forward. That was before I realized how wonderful and gorgeous I am. I asked her why she went out with David in the first place. She said that she sort of stopped chasing me at the very end because I was going away to Gainesville. We joked around about having sex until her mom came and it was about time for me to go. She came outside with me and I asked her what she was doing on Saturday. She said that she would be finished with her class at HCC by two, but she has to take pictures at Berkely Prep's homecoming later at night. She told me to call her and come over after two. We hugged, she called me a coward for never acting on my promises, and I went home.

I also tried calling Jon's girlfriend, Karen, over the weekend, but I think she is on a road trip with the USF girl's volleyball team. I was just going to say hi and possibly surprise her that I was down in Tampa.

After I got home from Abby's house at about nine, I called Kimmeth. She has a boyfriend now that goes to USf and is a year older than she is. I congratulated her for finding a guy that is her age this time. We talked for quite a while before finally deciding what we were going to do over the weekend. We ended up saying that we'd call each other at ten on Saturday morning and go out for breakfast at Denny's.

I was up early and this time had a shower and was already dressed when I called her. Usually I'm not ready and it takes me a really long time to get to her house. I called her at 10:10, and she answered the phone and told me that her ducks were running down the street and she'd call me back. And she did. It turned out that a big dog had gotten into her backyard and had chased her mom's ducks out of the yard while chewing on one of them. She saved the one duck and then had to lead the others back into the yard. It sounded like a really funny story and we were both laughing. We talked for a little while before I left to pick her up. I thought to myself that we shouldn't do all of our talking over the phone, because then we won't know what to say while we're eating. When I got to her house she was on the phone with Teresa, her friend from St. Louis. She's the one that always got in our way when we planned on doing something. Kim thought it was funny.

We ended up not getting to Denny's until lunch time. She still ordered a big breakfast, and I used a coupon from the paper to buy one lunch, get one free. That gave us twice the French fries to munch on. We wee joking about those, too. There were these little cardboard signs on the tables that said, 'THE FRIES HAVE IT! And it's a zesty ne flavor: seasoned fries. For an additional 25›, you can substitute these new fries for regular French fries.' We thought it was funny, so we stole it and she signed it when we got out to the car. She wrote, 'To Dan, Fries Forever. Julia Roberts,' and then signed 'Kimmeth' on the inside. We talked a lot and had a really good conversation.

She mentioned again about wanting to come up to Gainesville to visit me soon. She wants to take a shorter road trip before driving all five hours to Ft. Lauderdale. She asked me where she was going to sleep, and I told her that she'd be in my room, of course. I also told her that we have open visitation hours so it won't matter if she is there. She staid with her ex-boyfriend who is in the Air Force once when she was eighteen and the Military Police busted in and took her into custody because she was sleeping in his room. I can see why she might possibly be concerned.

After lunch, I drove he home and she invited me up to finally see some of her paintings. She told me to definitely not looking her room. Before today I had never even been in her house. It told her that I like it because it is rustic and reminds me of Georgia. It has that wooden house smell that is really cool. One of her paintings is of a nude girl swimming in the ocean so she was asking me if I had either an ID or parental consent to see it since I am under eighteen. Her mom laughed that she'd show me that painting but wouldn't let me see her room. I looked in her room anyway and she yelled at me. We took the painting out on the porch and sat down. She had a small one of a pelican that I would have bought to hang up here. She is really good. She had a very large painting of purple passion flowers that was beautiful. The detail was perfect. I was amazed. I told her that if I ever need a mural painted on my house in the future, I'd give her a call, and she gladly accepted my offer. It was starting to get around that time when I was supposed to see Abby, so I had to go. Kim said that maybe she'd call me later so that we could all go out to Ybor city to go to a haunted house.

When I got home, Abby had just called, and I couldn't get a hold of her for a long time. I really got a hold of her on Sunday, though. She ended up calling me later and said that her mom made her run some errands with her. On Sunday she said that Dave was coming over in the morning to mow her grass. We decided that we'd go to the beach afterwards and that I should call at about ten. I also found out that Chris and Jennifer, from Ecology, broke up and now Chris is going out with Jena. Abby and I kept talking about sex and confessed a lot more. She told me that she ended up going out with Dave, because I was leaving for Gainesville at the end of the summer. She then asked me if I was being serious about what I was saying, unlike back in high school, and I said yes. It was a really interesting talk.

That night mother made spaghetti, yum yum. We then watched movies and I went to sleep earlier so I'd be awake for Sunday. I called Abby at ten the next morning and she said that her mom had taken the car and she was just going to mow the grass herself. After she took a shower she called me and I went over. I didn't tell anyone in my family that I was taking Abby with me to the beach, just that I'd be home at around four. Her mom was home when I got there and she asked me where I went to school now before running off and talking on the phone. Abby told me that she called Dave and when he asked her what she was doing, she told him that she was going with me to the beach. He said something like, 'Oh really?' Poor Dave. Ha ha. We talked and listened to Toad the Wet Sprocket on the way over. I took the new way to Sand Key so that I didn't have to pay the 75› bridge tolls.

We got there at about one. It was a bit windy but the sun was out full blast. Another perfect day. A cold front had come through though and I asked her if she'd go swimming in the cold water. She said definitely, that she liked it better that way. I was glad that I finally found someone who'd stay in with me. I figured she would since she is from up North. She said that when she comes with Dave to the beach he always starts whining about something and leaves early. I put in three hours' worth of quarters and it turned out just right. We threw our stuff on the beach and went straight into the water. There weren't many people at all. I told her that it was a perfect day for my fantasy. I had told her that I always wanted to have sex out in the water on a public beach and she said that it sounded good.

A few minutes after we went out, I stepped on a stingray! I felt the flat slimy part under my foot, and then something brush me on the ankle as it was swimming away. It seemed to tingle for a second and it scared the shit out of me. If I would have been stung, my foot would have been so swollen that there is no way I would have been able to drive back to Gainesville last night. During the next two and a half hours, we shuffled, and bumped into a bunch of them. It must have been the colder water, and the fact that there were no people except us to scare them out deeper. We also kept kicking fish all of the time as they swam around us. There definitely was a huge abundance of wildlife out there. We joked about what were happening if we were having sex and a stingray decided to sting me in the dick. That would hurt. I realized though that a swollen dick would be very beneficial for me when I came back up to Gainesville. She thought it was really funny.

After she kept stepping near sting rays, she started keeping her legs up, letting me pull her to 'safety.' I would then lift her into my arms and walk around out in the water with her. We would keep talking about sex and saw another couple down the beach that were fooling around. I kept making jokes about them. She kept calling me awful and I had to defend myself. I kept saying how nice and wonderful I am and had some really good arguments. We kept splashing each other and kept horseplaying, too. She asked me why I wanted to come with her to the beach. I told her that I was hoping for great sex, and she said that she really doesn't want to disappoint me. We were talking about what I'd tell my roommates when I got home. We were still both pretty much in the bullshitting stage. We were also starting to get cold, so I said how nice it be to have a second body with me to keep me warm. At the same time she stepped on another stingray and it brushed me as it swam away. She said that she wasn't going to stand anymore except for on my feet. She ended up straddled around me as I had my hands planted on her ass to hold her on to me.

We had a good talk about how I'd rather be spontaneous than make plans, because plans often will either get broken, or the result will not be to your expectations. We ended up talking about her exposing herself and she kept asking me if she should just rip off her entire bathing suit. I said yes, but I would do it myself. She called me a coward Friday night because I never acted on any of my promises. She then dared me too, and I asked her if she really wanted me to. When she said yes, I slid the straps off of her shoulders and pulled her top down, and then gave her a peck on the lips. She has really nice tits, much better than I had expected. I never saw Nicole's in broad daylight, but I'd dare say that Abby's are much nicer. Really cute pink nipples... really cute. After the initial shock she pulled her top back up and I complained that we're never going to get anything done if she keeps reversing what progress I make.

So we got in a big water fight, and then I pouted and started swimming out deeper. She called me back, and we were both smiling wryly. I'm not sure what all we said right then, but I ended up asking her if we should be spontaneous, and she said yes. So I kissed her. She's a pretty good kisser, too. I was the better, she hit my teeth with hers a couple of times, but I'm definitely not complaining. The one problem was every time a larger wave would come, we'd get a mouth full of salt water. I told her that if Dave asked, we aren't kissing, we're cleaning the salt of of each other and she laughed. She kept saying that she really should have dated me in high school. I untied the front of her bathing suit, as not to be too obvious to the people on the beach, and slipped my hand in and began massaging her breast. We had talked earlier about how it would be easy to have sex without taking off her bathing suit, just reach down and pull it to the side. After a little bit, I took my hand out of her top and pulled her close again. We kept kissing the entire time.

There were these two parents on shore with their kids who kept watching us. I still had my face towards the shore. I then pulled both of my hands down and pulled the bottom of her suit aside and began massaging her. I slid one finger in and out and she moaned. I then pulled my dick out of the side of my shorts. I had been hard for some time now, even in the freezing water. Chris and Ed were right about it not being easy to have sex in the ocean. I got in her about half way three times but kept slipping out. Chris said that was his problem when he tried the same. I gave up and told her that it'd be better if we went and found some secluded spot to finish our little talk. I asked her if she had any good ideas of where to go. She said that we should just start driving and be spontaneous. I joked about going to Upper Tampa Bay Park but there aren't many good hiding spots there, especially on a Sunday. She asked me why she should have sex with me. I think she was rechecking my intentions. I told her that it is something that probably should have been a long time ago, I just never saw that. She then asked me if I had a condom, and I told her it was in my car. We were also starting to get waterlogged so we headed in.

We went up and took showers and she went off to the bathroom. I then went up and sat up on the bench by the bathrooms. I started thinking that this probably wouldn't happen, because every time I stop something, I usually never get back to it. We started talking and I thought that a cool place would be Brooker Creek Park. When we got to the stop sign, I asked if I got a kiss, and I did. So the rest of the way, every time I had to stop, we made out. We could only kiss on legitimate stops, though, because she said that the more times that we stop, the longer it is going to take for us to get there. I sped up. We drove around inside the park, until we realized that there were no good concealed places, and we both agreed that we didn't want to get arrested. I then had a brilliant idea!!! I remembered the picnic docks that stick out over Lake tarpon off of the boardwalk. That is where we usually have Cathleen's birthday parties. We decided to give it a try.

I put on my tank top as not to look too obvious, and grabbed a towel and my condom, and we went walking. We went to the very last dock shelter, and I left my towel and flip flops out by the walkway, hopefully to deter anyone from coming, except us. Ha ha. It didn't work to begin with though because a family with a bunch of little kids came along and they all came down the walkway. When their parents saw us sitting there, they called to the kids and told them that it is just a dead end. I thought it was funny. Abby and I joked about where we were going to do it, from under the table, to up on the rafter. I pulled off my tank top. She asked me what I thought of her since she has a boyfriend and was here with me. I told her that I think she is an easy screw, and then told her I was just kidding. She asked me what I would say when I bragged to my roommates, since I already said that I would. I told her that I would say that she is an old friend from high school and she liked that.

We started kissing again. She told me not to expect too much because she hasn't had that much experience. I reassured her that neither have I. I slid my hands up her shirt and tried, and failed, to get her bra undone. that's the first time it's ever taken longer than four seconds for me to get a bra off. Of course, they were al Nicole's and she probably made sure that they were easy to undo. Abby's had some weird little clasp and I bet her that she wore that one on purpose but she swore that she didn't. I started kissing her down her neck, and then raised her shirt and licked and kissed her right tit. I then went back up to her lips and kept my hands caressing her breasts.

I don't think she's ever really had sex with anyone who really had an idea of what he was doing because afterwards she asked me, 'OK Mr. Inexperienced, how many partners have you really had!?!' I didn't tell her yet. She also told me how Dave thinks that her job is to please him. I told her that I disagree, I think it is my job to use her to please me. There really is a difference there, I'm not sure how much of one though.

I again pulled my dick out of the sid of shorts. I was very hard at the time, and directed her hand down to it. She began squeezing and pulling and knew what she was doing. I had hoped that she might give me a blow job, but I'm not sure if she ever has, and I didn't want to force her to. We then stopped and she pulled off her shorts after I started to unbutton them. She then told me that I couldn't tease any longer, that I had to take my shorts off, too. I joked that now we'll both get arrested. I pulled her legs over the edge of the table top and then gently eased her back so that she was lying across the table. I spread her legs and then ate her out. I tried to get in as deep as possible with my tongue. I then got up and slid one finger in, and then two, and tried to get her as aroused as possible. I pulled them out and pulled her back up. We decided to do it sitting up on the bench. I put on my condom and she came down and straddled me. She moaned as we moved to get me completely inside of her, but otherwise we were pretty quite.

She could move her hips pretty good, but I kept my hands on her butt to keep the motion and to help her out. We kept our mouths pressed together the entire time we fucked and ended up pretty messy. I came first, and I am pretty sure she did soon after me. Even if she didn't she seemed very satisfied. We both agreed again that we should have gone out back in high school. We sat there talking and holding each other for a few minutes before I figured that we risked it long enough and needed to get dressed. I was very surprised, and very very relieved that nobody ever walked back where we were while we were having sex. I thought for sure that a Park Ranger might come back since it was getting closer to dusk. I also thought about how ironic it would be if I went home and said, 'Hey mom, do you remember the place where we have Cathy's parties, well I just got laid there!'

We kept kissing the entire way home, and as I dropped her off at her house, we shook hands and thanked each other for the weekend. We had talked earlier about how I should call her when I am coming down, and she'll reschedule her weekend around me. We agreed that she can keep Dave, and have me on the side. She said that she'd really like to marry us both. She was going out to dinner with Dave after I dropped her off.

I didn't get home until six, and couldn't tell my family the truth. I told them that I was swimming and talking to this girl, but not who it was. I had dinner and then headed back up here to Gainesville. I never got to call Kim and say goodbye, though. When I got back up here I bragged, and bragged. I even called Valerie and told her that one of my fantasies came true. She was happy for me. She had gone down to Miami for the weekend, so we both talked about our trips. Chris agreed that after you get laid, it boosts your ego for a while, and it definitely has.

October 15, 1992 - Thursday - Tama's room!, Melissa

What a week! It's been quite an adventure. I never got to finish my journal last Sunday because I had a much better offer come my way. Namely Tama. She hadn't called me lately, and both times I called her, she was either asleep or not there, and didn't return my calls. I started getting worried. She also didn't show up to class last Wednesday. I wondered what was up because I knew she wouldn't dump the guy who was going to save her ass in computers. But on Sunday night, she gave me a call, and asked if I wanted to come upstairs and do the assignment with her. She had been really sick last week which explains her not calling. She asked me when I wanted to come up and I told her that it really doesn't matter to me, and she loves me for being so easy going. Funny, the way I've written this makes it sound like she's using me. Anyway, I wandered up to her room at about ten. She was wearing a sweat suit and looked really cute. I met her three roommates, one who has mono, and one of their boyfriends. Some other people would come by every once in a while. One of her roommates birthday's is on November 15th. I wanted to remember that. One guy, Dan, came in and talked to us from across the hall for a while.

We studied for an hour before her roommate got back with the wine. They brought back two bottles of Sutter Home and proceeded to get drunk. I only had one glass of red wine, which wasn't that great, but was a bit enlightening. We ended up talking and messing around until about two. It was really fun. She, her roommate, Dan, and I all ended up sitting around the kitchen table talking about life. She looked so cute. Every once in a while when I'd be listening to her roommate, I'd look up to catch her gazing at me. I was being pretty witty. She at one point had to go to the bathroom, so I smiled and started clapping really slow and asked if I could watch. She thought I was cute and stuck her fingers in my hair and gently twisted it around. But she then declined my offer. But that seemed to have brought us together a bit because we'll touch each other now to emphasize things. I've never quite been in a friend relationship with a girl where se grabs a hold of my arm to make a point. I guess it was always get as close as possible but don't touch with the people I was around.

I ended up leaving at two because I had forgotten my keys and wanted to be able to get into my room without waking everybody up. At the time we were all in one of the bedrooms and when I told her I was getting ready to go, she actually got up and walked with me out to the elevator. As we walked by her bathroom, we both held the door shut so her roommate couldn't get out. It was funny. She then came out to see what we were doing or something as Tama and I walked down the hall. I turned around and noticed her so she went back into the room. She realizes how nice I'm being on my part because she knows that I definitely don't need to study for that class, and I'm only helping her for her benefit. Well actually, I'm hoping it will be for my benefit, but in a different sense. Right before I left she ended up saying something like, 'I guess I'll have to make you like me, so that you'll keep helping me.' We were both somewhat smiling at the time and I agreed with what she said. unfortunately, some guy and girl had come out at the same fucking time to use the elevator. Why the hell did they have such bad timing?!? Not that anything would have happened, but who knows. She was still a bit drunk.

I also know how her friends are, Everybody talks about everybody behind their backs. I really wonder what they said about me, good or bad. I wonder how obvious it is to her roommates that I like her. I wonder.

Tama called me on Monday and said that she'd meet me at class. I walked this time so that I wouldn't have to ride my bicycle while she walked. We only stayed in class for five minutes until Girish called for the assignments to be turned in. When I told Bryan that I'd see him later, he laughed that we were once again leaving. We walked home and it was a beautiful day. She kept saying that. There were no clouds but the air was still cool. It felt good in the sun, though. On Wednesday I called to make sure that she was going to class and then wandered over. The mid-term is tonight but she has a social problems test today that somewhat conflicted. We stayed in class the entire two hours so that she could schedule her makeup. I think Girish made her wait until the end of the class on purpose because we always leave. I didn't mind though because I got to see and talk to her. She started getting cramps half way into the class and said that her period always comes at the worst of times. At least I won't have to worry about her going and getting laid over the weekend. I joked that I was glad I was going home for the weekend so that I wouldn't have to be around her. I couldn't stand to see her bitchier than normal. I knew that wouldn't offend her though because she prides herself in being a bitch, along with her roommates, who always argue with each other. She's not bad at all though, she has my same sarcastic outlook that just makes it seem like she's bitching. I like it a lot.

On Tuesday I studied computer with a girl named Cheryl who's in my German class. I found out on Thursday that she was taking the same computer course as I and asked her if she had to take the mid-term this week. She said yes. We ended up going out with three of her friends Amanda, Debbie. Went to McDonalds, Tricia saw me with the four girls and we said hi. Post card (sand) for Debbie. We made Rice Krispy treats in Amanda's dorm. Didn't get home until midnight. Twice I've done that in the same week.

Had a hell of a time with Melissa today in German. I was early because of a Physics Quiz. She came twenty minutes early and we sat outside of class and talked. Fran‡oise seemed a bit concerned. Melissa and I are partners for the oral dialogue for our German mid-term. Wants me to call her either when I get home Sunday or I'll see her Monday.

After Stacy received my letter, gave me a phone call and we talked for over an hour. He didn't care because his mom pays for it and besides, he calls long distance on his modem all of the time anyway. Is going to give me his old modem which is great, and has a bunch of new picture files and animations for me, including pictures of Cindy Crawford. Said he'd mail me a disk.

I went and got my car today at three and filled her up with gas. Went downstairs with jon, who was returning a vacuum hose, just as Tama was walking in from her social problems test. We said hi and talked for a couple of seconds there. After I got back, I gave her a phone call. She said that the test was harder that she expected it to be. She told me to have a safe and fun trip and she hopes I get some color. I told her about losing my glasses and how it's going to be a pain driving at night. She said great, now she's going to worry whether I make it safe or not. Luckily, my wonderful roommate Jon is letting me borrow his glasses for the weekend. Thank you!

October 11, 1992 - Sunday - Spaghetti w/ Ed & Cathy

October 11, 1992 - Sunday
It's early in the new week and I'm relaxed, content, and happy. I got all of my bullshit work out of the way yesterday so this week would be off to a good start. I washed the dishes, cleaned the bathroom, shaved, and all of that fun stuff.

Ed invited Catherine out for the evening. She called when he wa sin the shower and asked me if I'd come down and let her in. She actually remembered my name. I was impressed. I went downstairs but couldn't find her so I came back up, figuring that maybe she got on the other elevator. She hadn't, so I went back down and this time saw her waiting outside the door. I waved to her through the glass and asked her if she wanted in. When she said yes I shook my head and said, 'nah.' After laughing at her a bit longer, I finally opened the door. She confessed that she had gone to Beaty West, the wrong building, which was why she wasn't down there when I first went down. As we got on the elevator, Jen from down the hall did, too, and we talked. I then asked Catherine what was up and told her that I had just been asking about her, because I hadn't heard anything about her since we were over at her dorm way back.

It was only seven-thirty when she came over, and the cheap little band that they were going to see didn't start until ten-thirty. We finished watching The Lawnmower Man, by Stephen King, and then watched Club Med. We saw an add for spaghetti and Catherine mentioned that she hadn't had any in a long time. She also really liked the Fry Daddy idea, because she missed crunchy French fries. Talking about all of that food made us hungry so Ed got up and cooked some spaghetti, and I made a big batch of tater tots. It turned out pretty good. I told Ed that I'd take care of the dishes while he was out with Catherine. While she was here, we kept talking a lot, and I kept inadvertently flirting with her.

October 8, 1992 - Thursday - I'm cute!!! German girls

Damn I feel GOOD!!! And no, I didn't get fucked either. I've had an awesome morning. I had a German test at 10:40 in fourth period. Thus my entire life has been devoted to German since early last night. I even woke up early this morning and went to language lab to complete my workbook dictations. I actually understood what they were saying! It's because this test reflects my new study habits. It's been two weeks since I began studying on a daily basis and it's really paying off. After language lab, I went to my third period Physics discussion class. I was early so I sat outside and studied, and watched all of the cute girls go by. I planned on walking in, asking when the next quiz is, and walking out. That's exactly what I did. I then went to German class to sit outside the classroom and study for an hour before class. I knew that I would get the most studying done there, without many distractions. It's actually a cool place to sit because it's on the second floor and is open to the outside. you can sit up there and look out at the trees or down at the people walking by below.

When I got there, this girl was already sitting there studying. I still don't know her name although we talk now all of the time. She's twenty-one, I think, and she's from Jacksonville. She's really good looking and has a cute Texas accent. Her mother is from Texas but she swears that her mom doesn't have an accent, and doesn't know where she got hers from. It's fun listening to her speak German. Her only flaw is that she has a boyfriend, but that is definitely no reason why we can't be friends. We studied together by comparing notes while I verbally quizzed her. The rest of the semester's test, starting with this one, are supposed to be much harder because they will be written instead of multiple choice. Actually these kinds of test are usually easier for me than the standard ones. I much better at doing something perfectly myself, rather than pick the correct one out of a bunch of wrongs.

Melissa walked up about forty minutes before class and joined us in studying. We kept making up funny sentences. it's much easier to learn German by speaking it with somebody you actually want to talk to rather than out of a book. There is this Greek dance Friday night and she asked me if my roommate was going. When I said yes she said that she was glad because she really wants people to come. She then told me that I should come. I told her that I'd think about and if I could get Chris to drive me I'd go. She then told me that she'd take me and that I really should go. I loved how she only asked me. This Taiwanese guy named Pong always sits next to Melissa when he gets the chance. He always takes my seat when I am late but I always end up butting him out anyway. I wonder if he felt like shit when Melissa was telling me to go and never even looked at him. Thank you.

Before we went into class this other girl came up who is a friend of the girl with the Texas accent. She isn't that bad looking, she's just a tad bit on the overweight side. She's really nice though and we always talk when we are near each other and get the chance. She was talking about a computer class she is taking and how she's screwed up on the assignments so far. I realized that she is in the one of the other CGS 3462 classes that I am taking. I told her that I am taking it, too. She asked me if I know what I am doing. I told her that I really know what I am doing and told her about how I took AP in high school. She then asked me if I'd help her study for the midterm sometime next week. She's the one who almost ran me over that night while I was on the way home from Farnaz's dorm. I told her that I didn't know after she tried to run me over. She then explained to me again why it happened. She told the same story but only until now did I fully understand what she had said. By this time, everyone else had gone into class and only the three of us remained outside. She told me how her friend who was in the car was pointing and saying that he's really cute and as she was trying to look to see who she was talking about. When she did, she swerved and realized that she almost hit me! What I didn't realize was that I was the guy that her friend thought was cute!!! That blew my mind! The whole story made so much more sense. She joked about how her friend thought I was really cute and then she almost ended up running me over. When she realized that she knew me she hoped I wouldn't see her after nearly running me over although I never knew the difference. It's a tremendous boost to my ego to know that girls will pick me out as being cute and tell their friends. WOW!!!!!

In class, it's also sometimes a pain in the ass keeping the two chairs open on my sides so that Fran‡oise and Melissa can sit next to me. It's because this girl, Dianne always tries to sit next to me. She's cute but she's too skinny and looks too much like the witch on the bicycle in the Wizard of Oz, only with dirty blonde hair . Then there are the guys who are looking for a cool friend who sit near me because I will talk and listen to them. I've already told one that the girls are my fist priority, but feel free to sit anywhere else near.

Anyway, the test ended up being hard, but actually was easier for me than the first two. It sure did take Melissa a long time. She's not good at this kind of test. Fran‡oise and I finished at the same time and she told me to wait so that we could walk out together. She's going back to Clearwater for a day again. This time it's to get a haircut. She said that she was thinking about getting her hair cut shoulder length. I begged and pleaded with her not do and told her that if she did, I wouldn't talk to her any longer. She told me that she'd just have to kick me that much harder in class. I told her that I'll start kicking back if she cuts her hair too short. We laughed and then parted.

Well, that's why I'm in such a damn good mood right now. I'm confident about the test, Melissa asked me to a dance, but most importantly, my ego was severely boosted by being called cute like that. It'd be really freaky if I get to study with her and actually meet her friend. That would be cool.

October 7, 1992 - Wednesday - Farnaz, Rebecca

October 7, 1992 - Wednesday
I had a pretty cool morning, in the area of meeting girls. When I first walked out the door this morning to head to Physics lecture, this tall cute black girl who lives next door was leaving at the same time. Her name is Jana. We talked from there until I had to leave to get my bicycle. She's nice and I'm glad I finally know one of my neighbors. I was wearing a Sea World T-shirt with dolphins on the front, jean shorts, and flip flops again. In other words I go to class looking like a bum nowadays. It was cool again and it's funny seeing all of these people in heavy jackets already. I'm just conditioning myself so the weather will be much easier for me to bear when it does get cold. Jana didn't really complain about my clothes, she wanted to know where my books were. I told her that I don't take them because most of my teachers don't require them to be brought to class.

I got to Physics a few minutes earlier than usual, and so did Farnaz. When first period was released, we went in and got our seats up pretty close to the front. That's our usual spot, although there's no real reason why we sit there. We were talking politics because of yesterday's rally and I was arguing my point about how Clinton will fuck up the nation if elected. We then started arguing about abortion. We weren't conflicting over pro-life and pro-choice, we were arguing about who should decide the laws on abortion in the first place. She said that women should have complete say in the matter since it deals with their bodies, and they are the ones who have to carry the baby for nine months. To be difficult, I argued that men should have most of the say in the matter because women are mentally inferior in making such emotional decisions. Besides, it deals with our bodies as well, because I don't see many women getting pregnant without first getting fucked.

At about that time, Ed's Tri Delt walked in and sat down on my other side so I turned and said hi, somewhat surprised, because I feared that she wouldn't show up. I also was worried that she might not find me because we were so close to the front. Since Ed never introduced us, I asked her name, which is Rebecca and told her mine. I actually asked Ed last night and he laughed and told me that he wasn't going to tell me. Chris was there at the time and we were talking about how I always seem to steal Ed's 'women.' It's because I know that I am better than Ed, and if a girl will talk to him, then she'll definitely talk to me. I told him that I really didn't care, I'd just ask her tomorrow morning when we sit together in Physics. So he told me that her name is Rebecca, or Becky. We talked for a few minutes before we had to shut up because of the lecture.

I found out that Rebecca got an eleven on the test which is just above average. I told her that it was good, and she wasn't completely mad about it. After class I went upstairs with Farnaz to find out what score she got on the test. I also wanted to make her feel important after I just had another girl, a Tri Delt no less, sitting next to me. She got an eight out of twenty. She was pretty depressed. Oh well. She then had her discussion class so we said goodbye.

I decided as I was walking downstairs to the bike rack to take advantage of the test score situation. There is this tall girl in lecture who is a bum like me, always in jean shorts and all. I think I've mentioned her before. Anyway, she was upstairs behind me getting her test score, too. I knew that she always parked her bike near mine, actually the reason I initially parked mine there is because she did. I also knew that she'd be coming down soon so I unlocked my bike very slowly. When I saw her, I read her face, and figured she did worse than she had expected. I have flirted with her on many occasion and she seemed slightly taken back when I asked her how she did. She only got an eight! We ended up slowly riding our bikes together all of the way to her next class. She has very pretty blue eyes which took her a few minutes before she'd let them meet mine for long periods of time.

I found out that this is her fourth year here but she still is only a Junior. She didn't really know why she did so bad. She just scored a 99% on her Calculus III exam so she's definitely not stupid. She brought up how she did all of the homework and studied all of the things she really didn't understand, but they ended up not being the things on the test. I told her how I never do the homework, I always sleep and read the paper in class, and only really studied the practice test, and made a fourteen. Oh well. I didn't find out her name yet but I definitely will. Go me for taking the initiative on something I really wanted.

I also ran into the red head, Jen, from down the hall, riding her bicycle in the opposite direction. We said hi, and then she yelled at me to get some real shoes.

October 6, 1992 - Tuesday - Bill Clinton, Tri Delt

I don't know what's gotten into me but I seem to have an abundance of things to write about in my journal lately. It usually means that things are going pretty well for me, which they definitely are.

I found out during the past couple of days that Bill Clinton and Al Gore were coming to speak here at UF. It was scheduled for this morning at nine and was to be held in the Reitz Union lawn. I pictured a decent crowd and a typical politician speech on a raised platform in the center. The University Police Department expected about ten thousand people to attend. I really wanted to go yesterday and was talking to Melissa about it, but I had Physics lab this morning from 8:30 to 10:15 which really sucked. I had thought about going to the department head yesterday morning and asking for a make up date so that I could attend, but I didn't really want to have to do my lab later.

On the way to lab I saw them setting up a huge stage in the lawn behind the Union, which is much larger. There were already tons of people packed around the stage and many more were flooding in from every which way. Kim and Debbie were at class waiting outside the door again, so I sat down and talked with them. They thought I was crazy for wearing only a T-shirt, shorts, and flip flops but it was actually warmer than yesterday. We really wanted to go see Bill Clinton but our instructor, Dave, said that it was impossible. The little faggot. He is the biggest pussy I have ever seen teaching before in my life. He really pisses me off. He told us that he was going to go ask the head if we could, so he walks out, and then comes back in and says that the guy said no. I would bet money that he just went outside and never asked. Kim and I decided to work together again.

When we were done at about 10:20 we both hurried out to try to catch a glimpse of Bill and see what else was going on. There was an ocean of people! The UPD later said that between twenty and twenty-five thousand people came to see Bill CLinton speak!!! It was amazing. I was tall enough that I could see Clinton and Gore standing way down on the stage with their wives, Hillary and Tipper. They were both in blue dresses which made it easier to pick them out. Kim couldn't see them except for the one time when she jumped. I was about ready to give her a piggy-back ride and I think she was going to let me. We ended up walking around the back through the crowds and stopped as we were getting close to the Union building. The whole sight was very impressive. The media coverage was very extensive, they had an entire section devoted solely to news cameras. There were also Secret Servicemen everywhere. If you looked up you could see them with binoculars up on the corners of the buildings. I'm sure they had every square inch of that place being covered at all times.

All of the sudden Ed pops up out of nowhere. I introduced them and we all talked for a few minutes. She then had to go to her Physics lecture class so I'm glad Ed showed up. Since we are both tall enough to see past the people, we decided to go around and work our way in straight from the back. It worked and we ended up with a really good view of all four of them on stage. Gore had been talking all of this time, and right as we got there, he introduced Clinton. He gave his typical speech but it was impressive. I am so glad that it ran late and that I made it in time to see and hear him. The whole scene reminded me of what high school students dream college will be like. Twenty-five thousand students all together attending a presidential-nominee rally. I remember getting caught up in those thoughts and thinking that, 'This IS college.' It was unbelievable. That is truly why I wanted to go. Even though I do not support Clinton in any way, I knew that this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

There were also millions of babes. He he. Ed was about ready to wander over to his fifth period class but I convinced him to stay a bit longer. As soon as the crowd began dispersing, we headed straight into the crowd. My intentions were to see and run into as many cute girls as possible, find people we know, and get as close to Clinton as possible. There is this cute girl in my Physics class who I see all of the time, but since I'm usually with Farnaz, I've never talked to her or anything. I've also noticed that she pretty much sits by herself in that class. She's one of the few cute girls in there, there are not many for a class so big. Ed also always talks about a girl in one of his classes who is a Tri Delt that he always talks to. As we were walking forward, drooling over the girls, I see the girl from my Physics class, and she looks up and goes, 'Hi Ed!' I was surprised that she turned out to be his little Sorority friend. I immediately made my presence known so that I will be able to talk to her tomorrow in Physics. What a coincidence.

She mentioned being hungry and wanting to go to the Reitz Union for something to eat. Ed, who is a big time follower, said that he was thinking the same thing. In normal circumstances I would have let them go and would have gone my own way, possibly to the last half of German, but I had too much to gain from sticking around. I told her that the restaurant in the Reitz is probably packed because of all the people had the same idea, so we decided to go to the one over in the Fitness Center. She was in a very political mood and is a strong Bush advocate. Go her! She was part of a large group of Bush supporters at the rally who all had their big Bush campaign signs with them. She was going off on all of the ways Clinton would fuck up the United States. I completely agree.

I was all for change back when Lawton Chiles ran for Governor of Florida and it didn't matter to me then that he was a Democrat. i had an open mind and was willing to accept them hoping for the better. Instead he ended up giving a bunch of false promises, and ended up majorly screwing the state of Florida. He has almost destroyed our state's education system after promising to make it a top priority. After seeing what the Democrat's mean by change, there is no way in hell I could ever see voting for Bill Clinton. If he does become president, I think a lot of voters are going to shit in their pants after they see what they've put into office.

I had mentioned to Ed earlier that the most awesome combination would be George Bush for President, and Ross Perot for Vice President. That combination would kick ass. The Tri Delt brought that same point up later and Ed and I laughed. We sat in the restaurant and talked for a little while about the entire political thing and I put in some very good points. It got to where she would talk solely to me for long periods of time. Good. It sure does seem to me that every girl friend of Ed's that he lets me meet, I try my hardest to steal. It's actually true.

Anyway, there were these little hand held campaign signs for Clinton that were passed out during the rally that said something like, 'This is Clinton country.' A Republican got a hold of one and changed it saying, 'Who misspelled county with an r?' or something like that. She thought it was really funny and wanted one of those signs. She mentioned that as we were walking over and I told her that we should have just grabbed one out of somebody's hand in the crowd. I had my hand on one in the crowd but didn't do it. I then suggested afterwards that we walk back over and will most likely find one on the ground with the rest of the trash. I was intent on being the one to find it for her. She and Ed only found folded up messy ones. I walked up through a fence to the stage and looked under the cloth where I found two nearly perfect ones and she was very grateful. That turned out very well. They then had to head to class so I said goodbye and told her that I'd see her in Physics, and that I'd see Ed later at home.

Just before that, on the walk back to the field, we walked by a group and there was Kendra, the better one, with some friends. One was Heidi from my German class. She knew the girl we were walking with. She turned to Ed and said, 'How are you?' and then said the same to our Tri Delt, and then laughed as she realized that she knew me, too, and said the same to me. It was funny. Our Tri Delt knows her from one of her classes and asked me how I knew her. I told her that we went out once and she agreed that was a good reason to know her. It's starting to get funny, the people this girl knows, that I also know. I'm also pissed off that Ed never introduced us. Oh well, that just gives me more conversation for when I see her in class. Darn.

On the way home, I ran into Melissa walking to class. She too had gone to the rally but had then gone to German half way through class. I don't know where she gets her clothes but she looked very sexy again today. She was wearing a black button up shirt, black shorts, and black panty hose. It looked really good on her. I later saw Fran‡oise outside of Matherly Hall but I didn't say hi to her because she was with some Greek friends.

I figure I'll call Tama later on tonight and ask her if she went to the rackety. If not, I have some stories to tell.

I was also on the phone with my dad on Sunday night and I referred to my dorm as home and he asked me if that's what I call it now. Yep.

October 5, 1992 - Monday - Tama's hints, Francoise

You feel like you're taking on your weight in wildcats. It's a fine time for pouncing upon spontaneous opportunities. Life takes on a more exciting hue - soul mate may be just around the corner! Focus on universal appeal. Lively Aquarian says, 'We can do almost anything we decide to do!'

What a month this is turning out to be. Those are excerpts from my horoscopes today. I really love them because they can be sort of an inspiration and self confidence booster. If it seems like my day will be good because of what my horoscope says, I will be much more inclined to take the risks that almost always roll in my favor. After the Bucs and the Gators lost this weekend, along with a few other minor tragedies, I feared that this might be an uneventful week, but I encouraged myself this morning to take full advantage of the opportunities around me, mainly the girls. I've done my best to enjoy every single one of them all day long. Wow!

I'm really excited about Tama. She's perfect, well almost. I found out that she smokes, Malboro no less, but I also found that I could quickly learn to accept that. I was going to call her before I left so that we could walk to class together but I lost my nerve. I'm so fucking afraid of seeming 'out of line,' whatever the fuck that means! I hate it when I do that. The only real reason we went to class was to turn in an assignment that was due today. While we were in there, before class, we talked to a few new people near us. There was a cute blonde who sat right behind me who I talked with. I asked her what Girish taught last Wednesday but she didn't know because she left, too! Tama and I turned our papers in and were gone before class even started. We went to the computer lab to send our programs to the grader and to get the new assignment. There was another guy in there from class who came in with us to do his entire program.

I then figured out a way to send messages from computer terminal to terminal. I sent stuff like 'Hello' and 'Kiss my ass!!!' to begin with and she thought it was funny and wanted to know how to do it. She then sent this to me -

Tama: This class is boring.
Me: so
Tama: Why don't you do something about it?

I was overcome. Definitely overcome. We then were talking and sending stuff at the same time. She laughed and said that she feels like she's in the movies. I asked her why and she said that this whole scene, a guy and a girl typing messages to each other like this, seemed like something that would happen in a movie. I really liked her comparison. We then were messing around so that she typed in:

Tama: Fuck you!
Me: when (she laughs)
Tama: Not now, I have a headache. (I laugh)
Me: Can I get you a Nuprin (she laughs again)

I was worried for a second that she was typing in that she has a boyfriend, but I really don't think she does, or I think she would have brought it up after what we were saying. We also were talking about our weekends. I'm glad now that I went to the parties so I had stuff to tell her. She was away in Jacksonville for some Sorority thing and it poured the entire time. Actually it has rained so much there recently that there are huge floods that are up to the cars' taillights in residential areas.

Anyway, she was telling me how she couldn't sleep last night and thus was up early this morning at six and made her roommate breakfast. I told her that the next time she was up, she could come down about six floors and make us breakfast. She laughed like I didn't have a chance. She also was saying how she and her roommates were going through a cleaning stage yesterday and were cleaning up everything in sight. So I told her that the next time she was in the mood to clean, she could come down about six floors and clean our room. It was funny this time because I said it the same way that I did the first time. A few minutes later she mentioned that on Friday night she was totally wasted. I couldn't resist so I told her that the next time she was wasted, she could come down about six floors and..... We both started laughing. Actually it's seven floors, but it would have been less funny if I had corrected myself.

On our walk home, I had to get my bike so she tells me that she really hates it when she has to walk with someone while they are riding a bike. Smartass! I then told her that I was about to call her before class but decided against it. She said, 'Oh, I see, so I'm the one that has to always call you, huh?' and I agreed that she was right. I told her that I was only kidding though. She said that she was still in a daze on the way to class after waking up and said that she probably wouldn't have talked much. But still! Just thinking about what we said to each other today is very stimulating. i wonder if Tama is an Aquarian. Get it?

The weather is still cool. It's a dry cold today so it is much more bearable. I wore jean shorts, a tank top, and flip flops. My roommates are Jon, Ed, and Chris. Jon and Ed just asked me what I am doing. Jon said that I am writing my award winning journal. Jon then asked if he could have my autograph now, because I'll probably never talk to them again when I'm successful. Thus I put in that sentence just for them. Anyway, I got plenty of attention for my lack of clothes. It did warm up like I figured and I got to tell lots of people that I became conditioned for the cold while working at Busch Gardens last winter.

On the way to Physics, this girl in tiny, tight, white shorts was riding her bicycle up to the racks. If that wasn't enough, when she got off, she stretched her leg back very slowly, and really high, as she got off. That was a view if I've ever seen one. YUM!!! It was a very good way to start off the morning. I then met up with Farnaz as I was walking into class and we went down and sat together near the front. This girl that I flirt with, and flirted with today, was just to our right, and there were two really cute girls in front of us. The better looking one kept turning sideways to talk to her friend, and sometimes all of the way around, and I always made a point to make sure that we made eye contact. Fun, fun. I told Farnaz how I tried to call her Friday afternoon, but she had already gone by then. We were joking around quite a bit and I walked a little ways with her after class, until I finally turned back to go get my bike.

I then had an even better time in German. I walked with Jon towards class because he has history class in Little Hall during fourth period. We were a little early which was good. There was this really cute girl standing outside who must have been late for class and was waiting to talk to the professor because she is usually in there during third. I sort of flirted with her while we were out there. She has gorgeous legs and after the rest of this mornings events, I was really horny. Maybe it has something to do with the cool weather.

I made sure that Fran‡oise and Melissa's seats were open when they came in so that we'd all be sitting together. Before Melissa came, Fran‡oise and I talked all about the weekend. She said that they went surfing because Clearwater had the highest waves she's ever seen because of the storm. She also knew a guy who's expensive house on Indian Rocks Beach had its roof torn off by that big tornado. She said that she had a really good time. She also was happy that the big bruise on her leg is looking better. She got it one night when she was drunk and ran into a fence. I told her that I would still be hiding it if I had something that ugly on me. She always kicks me in the leg while we're sitting there in class, so after she came in I went and pulled a chair in front of her for her to keep her feet on. She then said that she was bored so she was going to draw on my leg instead. I thanked her for wanting to give me bruises and ink poisoning. It was funny.

When Melissa came in I turned to her and found out what was up. When I did, Fran‡oise immediately turned and started talking to some people on her other side. She normally wouldn't talk with them, maybe it was because she knew that I was going to turn my attention to Melissa when she came in. They don't really ever talk to each other, or even listen to each other when one is talking to me. Fran‡oise said goodbye to both of us at the end of class and Melissa seemed a little surprised. We asked each other about our tests back on Thursday and then she contradicted something that I said. I then pretended to bitch at her for always contradicting me. She said that she doesn't so I told her that there she goes again! It was funny. I then asked her why I always have to pry stuff about her personal life out of her. I don't really, I was just being difficult in a sarcastic way. We laughed and were on really good terms for the rest of the class. I even had to share my book with her. She looked really cute today. Her hair was waving up and over her face, and every once in a while she'll give me one of these quite little wry smiles that are really sexy.

What a day!!! I even saw that girl today that I met and talked to at orientation. She has class right next to my German class. What a coincidence. I wonder if I'll get the chance to talk to her again. I'll have to go back and reread my journals and find out her name.

Luck to me.

October 4, 1992 - Sunday - Parties, Tama, Melissa

Well, I guess it's Sunday, the last time I looked it was still Saturday. It's after three in the morning right now. I just got through washing my clothes for the week. I figured that since I was home, and since I don't want to do them in the daytime, I'd might as well get it over with. It also is much less crowded at two in the morning. I had to hide though to make sure nobody saw me washing clothes on a Saturday night. Actually a couple of girls did see me. One was a really sexy sorority girl with a friend who were waiting for their guy fiends to come down from their room. When I went near she raised her voice and was saying something like, 'and the guys just go off and... It's like fuck us!!!' I nodded and would have. She was slouching on the bench by the elevator with her legs spread a bit. It was really something that I need to see before going to bed. I also glanced up as I was throwing my clothes in the dryers and saw a cute girl out in the hall by herself staring at me through the door. When I looked up she turned away. I'm just too cute. I'm especially too cute to be doing my clothes on a Saturday night a two by myself.

Actually, Jon and I had just gotten back from a couple of parties. Chris, Jon, and I ordered a couple of pizzas from Little Caesars. When they were delivered, the one with all of the gross toppings that they ordered only had black olives on it. Jon called up and bitched and they said that they'd bring over a correct pizza. We just had to bring the wrong one down when he came. In the meantime I ate most of the plain one, while Chris ate half of the wrong one. All three of us went downstairs to intimidate the delivery boy and it worked. They made us two new pizzas, which again were wrong but we took them anyway, and after Jon showed him that we still had the first package, he turned around and walked away with it. Thus we had four medium pizza for only $8.98! That wasn't such a bad deal. Afterwards, we went over to Mike's apartment. I wasn't going to go at first, but then I realized that I needed something to tell to all of the girls when they ask me what I did over the weekend.

I drove the three of us over. I still can't find my glasses and it was raining the entire way which was a bitch. Actually it's been raining since Thursday, constantly. It's supposedly some kind of tropical depression that the experts are comparing to the one down in Sarasota in June that dumped twenty inches of rain on them. Jon says that he remembers that one. It was probably that time at Busch Gardens when it rained forever and they almost closed the park. They also said that a tornado touched down in an trailer park in Pinellas County killing five people. They also say that they aren't sure when the rain is going to end. Supposedly it isn't going to be soon. Anyway, we got to Mike's place and hung out there for awhile. George, Salem, and Abe were also there. I had a bit of Bacardi rum and water. They didn't have any Coke and they barely had any rum.

We then drove around the corner to Oxford Manor to this girl's house for a party. There were some decent girls there. One really cute one that we met was at the party next door. They had an open keg so we were walking around their apartment looking for cups. I don't know why I keep drinking beer, I think it tastes like shit. I didn't get much, and I didn't drink much either. After a while we made our way outside and were getting ready to leave. I have a really good perception of the things that are going on around me that pertain to me. I was just standing there with the guys trying to decide where we were going when my mind picked up a conversation way up by the door. I turned and there was a girl talking about one of us (I really think it was me). She turned away quickly when I looked. We all ended up going back to Mike's apartment before Jon and i split and came back home. Chris wanted to go to the Florida Theater and I think he ended up going with Mike after everybody else crashed on the floor.

At least I have something to tell Tama on Monday, or tomorrow, whenever she calls back. We talked yesterday on the phone again, but not for long. I'm hoping that we will be able to walk over together to class on Monday. I'm definitely falling for her. She's the first girl in a long while that I have a strong physical lust for, and can still talk openly and laugh with. With Kim I seem to be almost careful about what I say as not to mess anything up or seem stupid. I just was thinking back about how I used to sit in computer class earlier this semester and dream about Tama, not ever thinking it would be a reality that we could become close. Getting her has made it seem so easy. It's still all so fucking awesome to me. It's funny. I'm good looking enough, and smart enough, that I could probably pick out and become friends with any girl I choose. If only I had the balls, but I'm starting to get them pretty quickly.

I had to brave the rain and the floods this morning as I rode my bicycle out to get my car. Actually, it felt awesome out in the rain like that. I then went and bought groceries. It's awesome when it rains because the girls we be soaking wet and look really good, and sensuous. I saw Heidi from our floor come in all drenched as I was leaving and she looked nice. We said hi. I also saw and flirted with quite a few girls at the grocery store. One was gorgeous and the way her long, white, droopy shirt clung to her breasts was very intimidating. She was shaped very nicely. A good grocery store is one that presents a wide variety of good things to eat! Heh heh.

I also had to take my Physics test Thursday night. When I told Melissa that I had the test on Thursday, she was disappointed, because she was going to ask me to come to a seminar with her that night. It was supposed to give information on all kinds of programs including the Rhodes Scholarships. I really would have liked to gone with her. I also just remembered that Fran‡oise was going back to Clearwater this weekend. I had joked that it was going to rain all weekend. This was before I knew about the depression, so I guess I was right. Poor her, no new tan. Like she really needs it, though. I want to soon fall in love with someone who will fall in love with me as well. Who knows, maybe I already have.
