August 17, 1992 - Monday - Maria, Meg

Today worked out pretty smoothly, although it never got as extreme as I wanted it to get. Maybe tomorrow. OK, I'll quit the bullshit: I want sex!!! Well now that you know my mentality right now, I can continue.

I made a to-do list this morning and got about half of the stuff done. I used my little spiral notepad and wrote down my dorm address and phone number in the back for when I need it. I finished getting ready by about 10:30. I ran around the corner to visit Mia in her room. She always leaves the door open which is cool. She's the Resident Advisor for the sixth and seventh floors so she sort of has to. Right now under the current visitation plan, there can't be a member of the opposite sex in your room before eleven, but we used the excuse that she was advising me. We sat at the table and talked for a long time. We also read through the Gator newspaper. Her roommate showed up with her parents at about a quarter after eleven. Her name is Maria and she is from Miami. They had stayed at a hotel last night here in Gainesville. She has a year and a half left before she graduates and is pretty cute. Her father seemed a little bit agitated to find a guy already in his daughter's dorm. Oh well. Mia was giving a campus tour at five so at eleven thirty we both decided that I had better get started on my list so I would get back in time.

I drove to First Union to set up an Organized Banking account with the seventeen hundred dollar check that mother wrote for me on Saturday. A thousand went into a savings account to collect interest and the rest went into checking which has no charges for the checks when set up in this fashion. I was done and out of there by twelve which surprised me. I went to KFC and had popcorn chicken for lunch. I then went went into Eckerd's to buy some necessities, mainly thumbtacks and condoms, but I chickened out. I then ran into Wal-mart where I did buy them along with a case of Pepsis and a dish drainer. I also checked out the bikes because I'm really going to need one, even just to get to my car! My first condoms are Trojen-enz lubricated. Aren't I special.

When I got back, two of my roommates had arrived and filled the room with stuff. They're from Sarasota and are named Ed and Jon. They both are hippy people who would have been in our Ecology club at Leto and they're really cool. Jon is black. They know the fourth guy, Konstantine, who is my roommate. Ed wanted to switch and stay in my room, which I would have let him do gladly but Mia advised him not to because he would be fined when housing found out. They brought a TV and VCR and microwave and an Apple computer. They then took off for lunch and I stayed since I had just eaten.

When they came back about three hours later they brought this hippy girl with them. She was pretty cute and older and lives in an apartment. I was joking around and then was talking with her and Jon around the table. I tried to talk her into cooking for us and she said she would. Then they got ready to go. After they dropped her back off at her apartment, they were leaving back to Sarasota until Thursday. Ed left me the swimsuit issue of Inside Sports. She notice that I had a computer and they asked what kind it was. I showed them a couple of the VGA pictures of the tree frog and space shuttle. she thought that was really cool and then Ed asked what about the pornographic ones. She walked out and I put on the best one I have, two naked girls on the beach together. It was funny watching the reaction as each of them saw it. She turned around and pulled the bottom of her shirt up over her face, a little too far though because she pulled it up over her tits. It was funny. As they were walking out I sort of hit on her. She was looking at our names on the door and said how much she likes the name Konstantine. I asked her if Dan wasn't good enough for her. She told me that she didn't know, maybe she could get to like it. Because of the way she said it, Ed sort of laughed. That was good.

As they got on the elevator I ran over to visit Mia and Maria. Mia was asleep so I got to talk to Maria for a few minutes. I asked her if she had an eyedropper so I could drip water on Mia, but she didn't so I had to settle for an ice cube. She woke up before I could use it though. It was all funny. She then asked me if I was going on the tour at five and I said yes. It was raining though, and i knew that they were going to postpone it. At 5:15 I went over to Mia's room and Maria was there. She opened some OREOs and let me have some and we sat there and talked until Mia came back upstairs from telling everyone that it was canceled. Her mom was here at campus with her brother who got put in a temporary double room that was built for one person. The other person had already taken up all of the space and he was really upset. Maria and I then helped Mia carry some stuff up out her mom's car and then we watched TV and talked while she went and visited her brother. Maria is a really interesting person and I want to ge to know her better. They ended up kicking me out when her Mia's mom was on the way up so she wouldn't find me there.

I went back to my room and watched MTV until nine when I went to another little TAG event. This time we were going to watch the preseason football game between Detroit and Buffalo. We ate hotdogs and chips and drink. I sat with Mia and talked to a couple of others to begin with. I got tired of following her around though so I went and sat near Ivan. This girl named Meg was there who I had seen at the ice cream thing last night with her friend from Ohio. We all went over to play ping pong and I talked to Meg. She is from Clearwater and went to Countryside High. We volleyed the ball for a little while and talked quite a bit. She said that we can play tennis one of these days. Mia told me earlier today that I can borrow her racket. When the last few of us were about ready to go, almost everyone else had already left long ago, including Mia. We listened to Ronald Reagan's speech at the Republican Convention and he kicked ass!!! It was one awesome speech! I didn't get back to my dorm until eleven thirty. I then cooked me a dinner of canned macaroni and cheese and a grilled cheese sandwich.

So today turned out rather well. I made friend with that one girl in my dorm, with Maria, and with Meg. It was a rather productive if not reproductive day. Can't wait until tomorrow.
