May 10, 1994 - Tuesday - Poetic trip, Tiger needs

from "Meeting" by Marie C. Stopes

At last!
We meet!
Hands touch and cling
Hearts vibrant sing
But silently, for lips are pressed.
I feel your breast
Throb on my beating heart,
I feel your knees
Tremble like aspens in a summer breeze.

by Anon

I find my love fishing
His feet in the shallows
We have breakfast together,
And drink beer.

I offer him the magic of my thighs
He is caught in the spell.

"Love remembered" by Mary-Jo Wilson

I remember love,
how could one quite forget
a twilight walk in misty rain
to laugh and come home wet.

I remember love,
hard we fought the reaper,
you smiled acceptance when he came,
still the cheerful dreamer.

I remember love,
it sits upon my lap
purring contentedly with life,
she knows you won't be back.

I remember love,
was you who taught me how,
make lasting memories, share a dream,
how much I'm grateful now.


"Perpetuum" by Danny Rowden

I dream of you each night:
I don't know why.
You'd think your haunting
Of my every waking moment
Would be sufficient.

by John Laws

I remember most
the times
when love was short
and memories were long.

And thus I have created a poetic compilation representative of
my emotional transgression through Shar¡. Rather interesting I must
say and completely sincere.

Abigail called me again last night at about nine thirty. She was
supposed to pick some guy up at work at eleven thirty because he
doesn't have a car and wanted something to do until then. I had just
finished eating and was ready to go to sleep so that I'd be well
rested for today at work so I declined. We started bullshitting and I
was complimenting her quite a bit and that progressed to some serious
conversation. I even thanked her for calling and she seemed so much
more happy with me when we parted than when she returned my call on
Saturday evening.

I still can't help but think how smart I am when I finally put
my mind to something. My excuse for core biology was that it is a lot
of memorization. Well I just made it through one of the greatest
memorization challenges that exist, art history under Dr. Stanley,
and that has made me realize that I can and will do well this fall in
all of my science classes including those with tremendous
memorization requirements. If I can start proving my worth to other
people now, it is sure to get me far.

Off to work I go... in a far more optimistic mood than
yesterday.

Work went pretty cool, I decided to just be talkative and mess
around all day. Shannon came in about the same time that I did and
got sent to platform despite a request for boardwalk. We didn't
really have a boardwalk position yet but Ryan had asked me to cover
the area once to make sure it was in good shape and then to go and
get Jamey from the wall so we could start on lunches. I went out
there and found the oaf answering the questions of two very tall and
very good looking girls both probably around twenty-two. I figured he
was sending them to Kumba so I hurried over to him and told him to
come with me so that we could walk with these girls and so I could
get in on the action. I figured they'd much rather talk to gorgeous
me than Elvis.

It turns out that the cuter girl was afraid of riding the ride
and so I was doing my best to subtly convince her that it would be
worth her trying the thing at least once. We talked all of the way up
to the entrance before heading up the exit to the platform. I noticed
that she was coming through the line but she ended up walking across
the coaster like I had told her she could. She said that she wanted
to see her friend do it once first. I told her that I could
understand a little kid being afraid to ride, but her? She laughed
and told me to shut up and then told me that she's just an old
married woman who's afraid of such things. Shit!!! But I knew that
she figured I'd probably go away once I found out but I proved that I
was being genuinely nice but continuing to talk with her and she
quickly regained her flirtatious attitude.

She ended up going and told me that it really was great fun but
she was really dizzy as she stumbled off. They reappeared at the end
of the day as I looked into the crowd to see her waving at me with a
big smile on her face. They rode twice, the second time in the front.
I joked that I swore she was once afraid to ride on the ride and we
laughed and she said that she really likes it now. That was their
last ride and they then took off.

I had the uneventful pleasure of working with Shannon on the
platform in the morning. We talked periodically, and I did nice
things like get her water and take the guests' articles to the box
for her, but neither of our attitudes were very exciting. I was
standing with her one time when I saw this gorgeous tan girl who was
tall and had what seemed like a perfect body. She was in tan shorts
and a hot pink tight nylon sport midriff top that showed off a
beautiful stomach. I said that she is cute and started the entire
time. Shannon laughed and said that I was drooling and then told
Melissa across at button what I was doing. I reasoned that I have
full rights to look at someone that good looking when they are so few
and far between. We chatted a little bit more before I got sent on
lunch.

I traveled to Crown Colony and got a couple of cheese pizzas and
headed back to the breakroom because Shannon was supposed to get her
lunch soon, too. She was there so I sat with her and we ate and
talked. I showed her my report card like I had wanted to the day
before and bragged. She's the only one I cared to show. I was on
platform later and was talking with Ronnie who wanted to know who the
women of choice are for me lately. I told him I like Kristen and
Briana because they are UF girls, but he said they both have
boyfriends. Shit... I'll have to work on Kristen a little bit
differently now. Fuck. I then said that if Shannon's circumstance was
only a little bit different referring to her boyfriend and he agreed,
talking about her kid. He also said she is too old which I strongly
protested. He said that she would wear me out because she likes sex
at least once a day. That was funny, so I told him about Leigh Anne
and he pieced that together with what I had already told him about
Shar¡, with her getting pregnant and all.

It was cool to get to talk to Ronnie for a change. Even better,
Paul has gone off to Timbuktu for good!!!!! That fucker sucked. I
joked around with Mike a lot today as well as we looked for potential
in almost every girl that walked by. He looks but quite scarcely
talks to them despite his decent looks. Of course I had to secretly
gloat as he saw me talking to various girls. The one in pink came
back with her friend and I saw them laugh and go out of their way
once to read my nametag. I then heard her friend tell her what my
name was. The friend then talked at me the next time they came around
which was pretty cool.

I got to work across from Melissa after my turn in the panel and
we ended up having a pretty cool time. We were joking around a lot
just like we used to and were touching each other to emphasize things
and were laughing a lot. I was glad. I had sent Shannon on her break
first because she was thirsty without her really asking me. I then
went and came back to be alongside her. We were playing around a lot
then and kept talking the entire time. That was really cool. She told
me how fat boy had slammed her hand with a harness and how she almost
(or did?) start screaming at him. When he got off, he came up into
booth with Mike and I and was getting all worried about how next
Saturday's night function would be staffed and we started making fun
of him and then were saying stuff like we should shut down the ride
because he was leaving and all. I joked so that he would laugh as
well, but we both instantly looked at each other when he left and
said that he is psychotic.

Shannon was telling me how much she wants a stuffed tiger and
how she and her boyfriend spent fifty dollars trying to win one. I
saw an airbrushed tag on the front of her car with her name and
Richard's. I thus dub Shannon's man Dick. So Dick didn't win her a
tiger. Somebody kept coming through and she kept eyeing their medium
tiger a lot. I would have asked them how much they'd sell it for if
they would have only come through one last time. She then told me
that someone had given her a stuffed animal once in the park and her
Dick bitched so she through it out the car window. I asked her if I
went and beat up those little kids and stole her a tiger, if she
would throw it away, too. She said no.

I've also remembered my gleam that I can make my eyes do and the
wonders it works with a little smile. I was flirting a lot and even
got an unexpected number of girls in opposing gondolas on the Skyride
to wave and say hi as I passed. It was cute. I'm getting into the
swing of things far earlier than I did last year.
Ashley just called and told me the horrible news of the
requirement that liberal arts and science majors must have a B or
better in the biology sequence classes. I only had a C+. Shit!!!
Ryan and Shannon were in the booth at closing and I went up
there to get my glasses and hang out in the air conditioning for a
few minutes. At closing Ryan said, "Go home assholes!" referring to
us. I told him about the British guy with an earring in both ears who
was waiting for us to find his hat. Shannon looked down and then at
me and told me to tell the guy to take his earring off and then we'll
get the faggot his hat!!! That was quite funny.
