April 16, 1994 - Saturday
I received a phone call while I was making dinner tonight and Karen informed me that it is a girl! I got excited and it was a good laugh for Ashley and all of us as well. Ashley and I haven't talked this week because I have been off studying and she has been at the house doing initiation stuff. She said that she was calling just to say hello because nobody is at home with her when I jokingly asked her what she wanted. She asked me if I enjoyed laying out today because she had seen me while she was on the way to the library.
I was cooking black eyed peas, rice, and popcorn bread, and brought that up to her. I then had the profound pleasure of explaining what popcorn bread is. She said she wanted to try it and I told her she probably wouldn't like it plain. We eventually started talking about this project she has to do for art class: create something beautiful. She has the choice of doing a paper instead which is ten pages long and really doesn't want to.
I started suggesting all kinds of things that she knows about and was telling her ways that she could bullshit as to why they are beautiful to her. Any of them could have been pulled off but she's a little bit pessimistic. She thinks she's not that creative and I have been trying to tell her that she is. One idea suggested by the teacher was to plan and prepare a meal and I suggested to try that one because she knows a lot about food. As I made a few suggestions about how to go about it, she got more and more interested in the idea. I told her that I had to go and eat and she quickly said to come down when I am finished if I'd like. That was cool! I gladly said yes and went and ate.
As I left the room, I said goodbye to Jon and Karen and told them that I hope I won't be seeing them in five minutes, because hopefully Ashley will keep me longer than that and they laughed. I carried two pieces of popcorn bread down to Ashley on her advisement just so she could see what it is. She immediately said that she was hungry and asked if she could try it. I told her I wouldn't because it is bland and needs something with it. With that in mind, she ate it, said it was really good and finished off the whole piece. I was surprised. She smelled part of it and said that it does smell like popcorn, which I had noticed earlier at dinner.
I then looked around in the rooms with her just because I haven't rooted down there in a while. We eventually started talking about how she should go about this meal thing. I gave her a lot of ideas and she finally started writing them down just to compile them for later use. That was smart. She then was planning out what she would say and do in the video she would make and quite a few times she really liked my ideas and scratched out hers and wrote down mine. That was cool to see someone else use my ideas word for word. Especially this one time when I thought she wasn't paying attention to me until she wrote down exactly what I had said. That was cool. We both came up with some really good ideas.
She started getting hungry after all of this talk about food and she was asking where you could get a good chicken sandwich. She thought about Chic Filet but it was already eight. I told her that she had plenty of time and then said that I would go with her. She seemed to jump at that and we were soon heading off to the mall.
Once we had gotten home, Ashley asked me if I wanted to go to this big party and I said yes. We were going to walk there in the same tradition that she and Laura had walked there from Tolbert last year. The party was supposedly thrown by the water polo team with seven bands, sixty kegs and so forth. I came upstairs while she showered and got ready. I called Kimmeth while I waited and told her what was up. We only talked for a few minutes because she was heading out to the movies. She told me that he was wondering wether or not I had the common sense to call her or not. She also told me that she was talking about me to a friend last night. He is twenty-six and was debating on whether or not to pick up this seventeen year old he knows. She then told him about her seventeen year old (ME!!!) except that I'm nineteen now. She was saying something about how I taught her how wonderful youngsters can be and I was complimenting her earlier in the same way. When her ride came she came back to the phone and called me honey!!! as she asked me if I'd call her back sometime soon. That was cool!
Welcome to Danland!!! I'm butt assed wasted and love it!!! This
is the first time in my life I've been truly drunk and I owe it all
to Ashley. She knows it too, and knew what she was doing. I think I
went to the same big party the same time last year and it was so much
easier this year because I had a girl getting my beer for me. And it
tasted so good!!! We joked that it was bad that our sole goal for the
night was to fond another keg and get there in time to tap it before
it went dry. Wow. I'm so ready to pass out it's not even funny. My
head is spinning. Nontheless, Ashley and I went and found Ed in the
downstairs library and he convinced us into playing pool. Damn.......
I'm going to sleep now.
The above is not edited for spelling or grammar to catch the pure emotional bliss of the moment. Heh heh
