Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I don't know why it matters because once again I have no Valentine of my very own. It's not that I couldn't have one. Leigh Anne has been begging me to forgive her all day long and to give her one more chance. She swears that we will never have to have this conversation again because she will dedicate her life to me. She also said that she would marry me tomorrow if I asked her to. I just want my first real Valentine to be special!!!
I slept last night under the study counter in the living room on my comforter with all my pillows and sheets. As soon as Marty was ready to leave at seven, Chris woke me and told me to come back into my own bed. Marty thanked me for letting them have the room and we said our farewells. I woke up at ten to meet Jana in front of the Fine Arts Building to give her the art history notes I had promised her from the day she missed class. We had our exam today at 12:50. Leigh Anne and I studied in Turlington until three in the morning last night and I got a lot done for my exam.
We read the Love Lines in today's Alligator and neither of us had sent each other one. She claims that she did and will soon have a check to prove it. There was a check missing number on her balance sheet but there was no place where she had written down who she wrote the check out to. I told her it makes a good story, at least.
I also went to my Greek class today and wrote Shar¡ a letter about Mardi Gras and all of that. Leigh Anne had gotten a letter from her delinquent friend, John Jerico. This is the guy who sent her a giant green wax hand tossing off a big red penis candle for her birthday. He writes worse than Shar¡ and I often joke that he's her version of Shar¡. He's broken up with his girlfriend and it's really obvious that he wants Leigh Anne. His letter ended up with, "P.S. Words alone can not express the way I feel. So please ask for a free demonstration." That's an awesome line and I copied it down to use in my letter to Shar¡. I also had a cool conversation with Dana (whose name I don't know yet) in Greek class about our lives over the past week and looked at her a couple times very sensuously and she returned the favor. She has really pretty dark hazel eyes.
Despite being exhausted I went to the hospital to volunteer tonight at six. Chris, Jon and I had been talking about what I can take the last ten pictures I have on my roll of film of so I can get them developed. They are really eager to see them so Jon joked that he needs four pictures of his plate of spaghetti and so forth. It was funny. Anyway, I figured it would be cool to take a couple of pictures of Shands so that everybody can see where I volunteer. I took two exterior shots and then had the nurse take my picture holding a baby in one of the rooms. That was really cool. I signed in at six and signed out at the same time with nine. That way I could leave before nine and not have to return to the desk and I did end up leaving at eight.
Things timed beautifully. I always wear my volunteering apron and name tag when I come back to Beatty because the girls seem to be really impressed by that. I saw two girls coming in the door as we walked in the elevator and I held the door a little longer for them than I normally would. It turned out to be Laura and Ashley!!!!! Laura had just given blood in the mobile outside the towers. We exchanged our Happy Valentines with a hug from Ashley. Laura then noticed that I volunteer which is really cool. I then told them how tired I am because of Mardi Gras and they got excited and asked me how it was. Ashley asked if she gets any beads and I said of course because I had already planned on surprising her with some earlier.
I came upstairs and put all of them on and then went straight down, still dressed up. Ashley was glad to see me so soon and we talked all about Mardi Gras and Valentines Day. I also talked with Jessica for a little bit about our history class. I gave Ashley a big pair of gold beads which she really liked. She was dressed up really nicely in a red sweater but told me that she had been wearing black all day and denying Valentine's existence because Daniel hasn't called. She only dressed up for dinner at the sorority. All this after she sent him a pair of silk boxer shorts and a bunch of Hershey Kisses and other candy.
I asked her about ideas to use up film and she mentioned Century Tower which everyone else said, too. That's got to be the worst idea because there are so many postcards of the ugly thing. Plus I've already taken my share when I've needed to use up film before. I had the idea that I wanted to take her picture especially since she looked so pretty dressed up. I don't think I normally would have asked, but I got her to come upstairs and Jon took two of us together which was really cool! We then talked in my room for quite a while about everything some more.
Oh yeah, while I was volunteering, Shar¡ called. I wondered why for a second when Jon suddenly made me realize that it's Valentine's Day!!!!! That's awesome!!! She's called twice in a week, and once on Valentine's! I tried calling her back but she wasn't home. The guy kind of rudely said no, but then seemed a lot more at ease when I said it was me. That's funny but is probably nothing. Anyway, Ashley and I talked about that for a few minutes, too, as I wondered out loud what Shar¡'s intentions are. May I soon find out!
