October 15, 1993 - Friday - Hanging w/ Ashley, Karen

Well, I just graduated a beauty named Karen Tapp as the newest member of my personal fan club. She's that gorgeous straight haired blonde who lives on the eleventh floor in my tower. It was just over a week ago when I first decided to say hi to her in public outside of class. We both had a biology and a psychology exam today and I struck up a conversation first thing in biology lab last night about them. Natalia then showed us our total points in the class so far and it took three girls to add up the points to find out how many our score was out of, and they were all wrong!!! I finally went up there and did it quickly in my head after even Natalia screwed up on paper. Bunch of stupids. There is this one girl who is sorority looking who asks questions about everything, except her question are really basic and stupid, and really frequent. She has to be the most naive person I've ever seen and must have lived a very sheltered life so far!

But back to Karen. Donald ended up sitting next to me and we talked about our test in Greco Roman culture and inquired to which essays each other wrote about. Eva ended up sitting at the far end of the table and we only said hi. I thus turned around and paid full attention to Karen until Natalia started talking. We all rushed trough lab, and I spent most of my time studying a human skeleton with Karen and Eva which was a fun waste of time. I accidentally let Karen slip away without asking to walk home with her which was a mistake, but oh well. I sat along the isle in Psychology today mainly so I could get out easier when I was finished, but also because she usually sits there. After a while, she came up, we smiled and said hi, and she sat right next to me. We talked all about our biology exam this morning and then got a little personal.

She's going to Tampa this weekend to see her sister who lives there. I thus ended up telling her all about my job at Busch Gardens and she liked that and told me that her sister has some friends who work there. She'll be staying up here over the summer, and she works at Kash n Karry. We were both talking about how really exhausted we are which was a good topic since we don't know each other yet. I hope this is the beginning of a nice little friendship across my classes. She'd be a damn good asset. I also swear I caught Griggs looking at me sitting with her. Maybe he was impressed.

I had Ashley call me this morning before her first period class so that I could get out of the room and read my notes before the exam. It was only seven in the morning and still dark outside! Ashley called and said that Laura already went to call the elevator so I went down and knew that I'd surprise her walking around the corner. It was funny because of the cute little expression I got from her. Ashley and I went to study last night at around 9:30. Actually, she just dropped by the room after leaving her sorority house and I was in my pajamas. We talked for a few and she told me just to come down when I was ready. I finished up the important stuff about my call to Shar¡ in yesterday's journal before I headed down. I had told Shar¡ that after she said to call back at nine, I decided to stick around the room a while instead of leaving. She thought it was nice that I stayed until I told her that however, I missed going to study with Chris and would be going with Ashley instead. She made her cute little pouting noise and said that she'd rather I'd gone and study with Chris. I laughed to myself and then told her about how Ashley and I studied Wednesday night from eight until two in the morning, and also walked to Taco Bell for dinner. I thought to myself that two can play at this game. Chris and Jon both praised me for doing so. I did however tell Shar¡ that Ashley is an almost married devote Catholic and told her she has nothing to worry about. She asked me what I was doing hanging out with her then?!, and I told her that I don't know, I just always seem to go for the extremes. I wasn't quite sure if I should have said that but it's too late now.

I went downstairs to be greeted by Jessica and Laura. It appears that Jessica belched for the first time even though the other's are always doing so, She was really embarrassed and it was really funny. I relaxed on the fouton next to Laura after her invitation and we talked for a while about "us" and Ashley joined in on the conversation, telling Laura some of the stuff I've said. It was really funny and I actually told Laura that I do still love her since she is usually the one that tells me. It was pretty interesting. It's always interesting... I was visiting Amy and Leigh Anne a little while ago and told them about my newest "girlfriend." Leigh Anne first asked me if I was going home and I told her I have nothing to go home to anymore, but ended up retracting that statement kind of.

I told Ashley later as we studied that I tried to use her name to make Shar¡ jealous and then told her the story. it was funny. We ended up walking to Burger King to get food first this time and ate there so I could get free refills. I ordered two double cheeseburgers, and she got one and some fries. I ordered a drink and the cashier handed me my cup, but the server also put one on my plate. I hid the one in my hand and then handed it to Ashley who appreciated it. Ashley told me that I'm a really bad influence on her because first she ate at Taco bell, and now this. It was fun though and I told her that she needs the real food for her brain to use on the tests. We talked a lot about Shar¡ and Daniel like we always do. We then went to Turlington only to find out all of the doors were locked. I suggested the elevator, and surprise!, it opened up. When it got to the second floor it almost didn't open and we started laughing as I said that we don't try that anymore. I then joked that we would have ended up studying in the elevator until somebody freed us in the morning and we laughed.

We read a newspaper and talked for a while in the room as a prep for our studying. She told me that she has already kissed a couple of guys this year. She said that she was drunk once recently at a sorority party and ended up kissing a guy and pictures were taken. She says that she was really embarrassed especially when a friend of her and Daniel's from Valrico saw it. I had a crazy notion that I want to kiss her just because of the awesome friend that she is and thought that I'd picture Shar¡ if I ever did so. We have become extremely emotional with each other, but can still joke around and have lots of fun. That's something I truly miss with Shar¡ and it's solely because I'm not there all of the time, and I think about that all of the time. It's almost like life is trying to teach me that long distance sex isn't mentally healthy, because of Abby and Shar¡.

Ashley and I also joke around about sex a lot!!! She has a habit of putting markers in her mouth and I'll always refer to her giving a blow job. I told her last night that she's getting better at it and she started laughing and almost blushed. She bit the end of it as she took it out of her mouth and I commented that she screwed up on that part, you're not supposed to use your teeth. It's really funny. She and I were talking about the Meatloaf song "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that!)" and I told her why I like it so much. I told her about how it came on when Shar¡ and I were having sex so it also has a strong sentimental value. That's when I told Ashley my entire meeting Shar¡ and dissing Laura story from the summer. I admitted that it was almost only for sex at the beginning because I I knew I'd be leaving really soon and didn't think that was enough time to do what we did. Ashley told me that she thought she heard some of that story before from Laura, which is funny.

On the way home last night, we were both delirious from lack of sleep and couldn't of been having more fun drunk. We were joking around and laughing almost hysterically. There's these hedges along the walkway and when we;re depressed in the mornings we'll always joke that we're going to walk through them, not really caring that something's in the way. Well, she decided to do so for real tonight but didn't make it very far before the plant "spit" her back out as I put it. it was hilarious and I made millions of beautiful comments about that on the way home. When we got to her room, she let me borrow some really good CDs to copy including The Rose!!! She has two really good love song tapes that she said I can use as well. She's so wonderful! We then listened to some good country music while she showed me her scrapbook of her and Daniel.

Back to this morning, Ashley and I were still joking around and laughing a lot and it was all inside leaving Laura essentially out in the cold. Poor her. As we parted with Laura, Ashley and I were still laughing and it was cool to let Laura see how much I get along with her roommate before I go back to hitting on her. I sat outside on a brick wall and studied while Ashley took her first period chemistry quiz. We then walked to biology. I saw quite a few people I know and was talking to all of them and was glad to in front of Ashley. She walked up to a group of girls and started talking to this one. Fran‡oise was there, too, so I started talking to her for quite a until we got to the door.

Ashley and I walked to the stadium after class so she could redeem her Gator Growl coupons. I then left her at the gym to work out as I went to the library to study for my Psychology exam and things proceeded with Karen form there.
