July 12, 1995 - Wednesday - Random flirtatious nonsense

     I've tried taking back over my life from the boring monotonous routine that I became trapped into. With the help of a refreshed tan (a sign of happiness) I have regained some confidence and have
rereleased my flirtatious nature. My body and mind are now in the process of getting back in shape with my spirit.

     I stepped back and realized I was letting too many little things bother me that I shouldn't. I wasn't really in the mood to be friendly, especially with girls. I was just having too many bad encounters to really enjoy myself, until suddenly now I don't even care. I had been getting upset when the love of my life, Jennifer, only would sit with me if randomly forced to. Today I let a new girl sit with me and saved the other seat for Alli. That way I wouldn't set myself up for a letdown, even though none was probably intended.

     I did walk into the breakroom last night on the way to wardrobe with Dana only to have all three women in the room call out my name practically at once, and none had anything to do with each other. One was Letitia from work who just got married who was talking to Matthew, Dana and my ride home, so that was nothing special. The second was the sixteen year old virgin, Mica-Marya Wenner from our sister buffeteria. She's actually really cute when she wants to be and I like her best out of the little kids in our area. She was talking to two hispanic guys and I completely blew her off by acknowledging Rochelle instead. She walked with me into the locker room and we had a good little chat. I actually think it would be fun to hook up with her here being that she got dumped at the end of summer and all. She's pretty nice but I just can't figure out how to get to be in the same place with her for any length of time.

     When I walked back in the breakroom, Mica made sure I saw her this time. I also had a fan club (of the criticizing sorts) when I went into currency operations with Dana to drop the banks. All of the
girls from the front of the park that work with Keven were there and Jennifer was making a big deal out of me being there. She's the one that called my name out from the pool that day I was walking by with Kristen, which made the latter jealous. Kimberly form the front is one of my new favorite people. We were at lunch collectively the other day until everyone but she and I were there alone. Both Keven and Danielle have individually told me that she is quite and were surprised when I told them how much she ran her mouth at lunch with me that day.

     She came by the boat the other day in plain clothes with a Delta Gamma girl, and she looked fucking amazing!!! I stood there in utter awe which was immediately noticed by my coworkers. And then they all saw Kim recognize me and wave. I was so happy that everyone saw, for it is far and few between when such a beautiful girl acknowledges me on her own accord.

July 1, 1995 - Saturday - Galavanting around Disney World!

     I realized last night how little direction my life has when Matt could not figure out at all what he thought I should be. He had a good idea for everyone else but just didn't think being a doctor was
quite right for me. He finally placed me as the person who writes all of the material for the president to speak and indirectly runs the country. Kristen piped up and said I would never go for that because
I would want all of the credit. He then went on to finish by saying that I would write a book exposing everything when I was through, and Kristen and I laughed, agreeing at how true that part really was.

     I attempted today to get a little bit of n...... back into me, for it's been a long time since I've peeled off my clothes and just shriveled like a raisin out in the hot Florida sun. It felt amazing. I've even started a new fad with myself by wearing a pair of sunglasses, something I have never done before. They are those almost new Oakleys I found on the Kumba that time that were in perfect condition. I also found and put back in an earring today for the first time in quite a while. I'm positive that Kristen will be disappointed after how many times she noticed and complimented me for not having one in.

     I went with Kristen gallivanting all around the World yesterday. We started by heading over to the casting building to complete a little task presented to us during our seminars on Wednesday. I asked
her to try and get the same assignment that I had gotten so we could do them together. We had to answer a lot of questions about the new employee recruitment process including its challenges and the way the building it is done in is presented. I was actually amazed by the place for it was an extremely imposing and grandeur work of architecture that made you feel puny compared to the almighty Walt Disney Company. I brought a camera with me to get a lot of the memories I've been waiting to capture on film since the summer started, and we started here by having one of the employees take on of us together on the entrance ramp to the main desk and lobby.

     On the was there a pretty cute girl had been sitting at the bus stop with Kristen when I arrived. I made eye contact with this girl and slightly smiled as I walked up, but nothing unusual. As we boarded the van, Kristen said this girl seemed extremely eager to get in front of her and sit right next to me. I was rather pleased. I even joked to Kristen this morning that if she wasn't nice to me, I
would go and ride that same van all day until the girl came back. I also had her thank me for not making conversation with this girl in the first place which I very well could have. Especially how Clint was saying that I'm so easy to have a conversation with, after he was amazed hat I always insight something to talk about.

     I didn't really think much about the whole deal until the same girl came and sat in one of the closest lounges to me this morning at the pool. I had never seen this girl before yesterday and suddenly she's popping up everywhere like some kind of beautiful omen... or fate? She has a very attractive body, but didn't take of her Umbros when she was laying out hinting at thighs on the larger side.

     Kristen and I walked over to the Sunbank when we were done at casting so I could cash my paycheck and buy some two dollar bills, of which they only had nine. We then went into the Disney Village Marketplace where they sell the best soft pretzels I've seen on Disney property. Kristen bought one and I decided to finally buy one of the cinnamon ones that I had always wanted to try. It ended up being even more delicious that hers, so I didn't much mind the dollar seventy-five price tag.

     We switched over to mass guest transportation and headed in towards the Magic Kingdom. There were what seemed like fifty million people waiting in line for the monorail there but none for the
resorts one, which stops at the same Magic Kingdom station as the other one. We walked right on past the herds and even rode in the very front with the operator which excited Kristen a lot. It was only my second time doing that so I thought it was pretty cool, too.

     We knew it would pretty much be too crowded to ride the stuff that we've already been on fifty times anyway so we took advantage of the sun and her mom's expensive camera while we had it. We figured we'd just take pictures, eat and shop. We got a few good ones at the front of the park including one of her holding a giant bouquet of balloons that a cast member was selling. We ate at the employee breakroom that I had just found out about the other day during the college program publicity photos. We bought the exact same pizza sold in the park for well over three dollars for a dollar thirty. We ate with the guests, though, overlooking a lake and Cinderella's castle.

     We shopped out at property control where we receive our seventy-five percent discount but only found a cool little CD with hits from 1978. It was awesome because it is some of the earliest music that I can remember, for both Kristen and Matt don't. We then ran around the park for a while longer getting some really good pictures, quite a few where a guests would offer to take one of us together which was really nice and really cool. I also cornered Meeko, everyone's favorite raccoon from Pocahontas, and we both had our picture taken with John Smith and the Powhatan princess herself.

     We had a huge spool of cotton candy and watched the runoff election between Winnie the Pooh and Captain Hook in the Main Street town square before heading off to Epcot. We enjoyed a romantic little ferry ride across the lake followed by a two and a half mile monorail trip to the park entrance. Once inside, we headed towards the world showcase had a gorgeous blonde named Nicole guide us around the world in a replica of a London bus. We got off at France and headed out the
back of the park over to the Yacht and Beach Club resorts and wandered around taking pictures for a while. We had a security guard named John tell us all about how to look inconspicuous when sneaking into the pools there which are reminiscent of a typical water park's.

     We played a little ski ball and air hockey at the arcade before swinging on the beach of the lake for a little while. We took the river walk back to Epcot and found good seats for IllumiNations,
which neither of us had ever seen before. I was amazed. It was the best show I have yet to see at Disney complete with lasers, spotlights, fireworks and music.

June 28, 1995 - Wednesday - A beautiful beast

     There's actually a girl here at Vista Way that I am completely entranced by. She picks up where my fascination for Lara left off. I dare say I would marry this girl right now without knowing anything further than I already do about her personality and lifestyle. Of course I speak of Kristen's roommate, Jennifer Merritt.

     Jen comes from Pennsylvania but goes to school with Wil at Bowling Green in Ohio. She has admitted to being a spoiled brat, the daughter of very prominent parents. Jen is Presbyterian, but says
that her virginity has nothing to do whatsoever with her religion. She is waiting only for the right guy to come along. This may very well be the second time Kristen has ruined an opportunity for me to
be a gorgeous virgin's "right guy". The first was Erin Wilcox. Jennifer claims to be anything but innocent but won't explain why, no matter how much I coax and prod. She also says she is really mean and sarcastic (so am I!!!) to those around her. She has agreed to "leave me a letter on my pillow" at the end of the semester explaining the evil within her, and Kristen seems to think it means that Jen has done everything but have sex.

     This girl is just so fucking beautiful. She is a very big girl who is in no way overweight. She's just HUGE! which givers her the ability to carry herself with all sorts of apparent dignity. Despite
her beautiful appearance, he claims to have extremely low self esteem and we had along talk at lunch yesterday where I tried to relate to her about that as much as possible. Unfortunately she is under the
belief that Kristen and I are (or at least should be) dating and I think that truly affects her opinion towards me. I was hoping to fight the odds and see if I could milk this inner bad girl to see if
she be willing to consummate.

     Or perhaps I could look a little bit closer to home and fight for a bit of recognition from Alli Gill. She is the Zeta from UF which is in my seminar. She is very beautiful and we can actually talk and joke around with each other without much difficulty. I actually find myself looking at her with what I call "smiling eyes". Like a gentle and tender but very happy glisten that I also see as she returns my gaze...

     Well, I'm lying here staring at my giant confederate flag on the wall, and listening to one of my two new Disney Classic CD's that each have twenty-five songs each from all of the Disney animated
films prior to Pocahontas.

June 20, 1995 - Tuesday - Disney Sucks!

     Things are still severely boring and repetitive here at the most wonderful place on earth. The only trickle of satisfaction I get is from giving away free stuff to guests to increase their Disney experience. It's a privilege called "going above and beyond the guest's expectations". If someone seems even the slightest bit unhappy then I can often really cheer them up with something as
simple as a free drink or a bag of chips. If their wait is too long due to the person filling orders ignorance, then I will wake up for that with something free. It's a really nice little bit of power that
a lot of the full timers frown down upon. However, every supervisor in the park eagerly allows it (which explains why they are supervisors and the others are not!).

     It just amazes me, though, how much fighting and bickering goes on in practically every location in the park, according to all of my friends. There is no intimate supervision so when a fight happens, no punishment occurs, allowing such trivial bullshit to continue every day. It's the most ridiculous situation I have ever seen. No one is happy because of all this shit and the resulting attitudes get
directed at the guests. I am just so impressed with how well Busch Gardens promotes relations between individual employees, thus keeping them happy. I like to say that Disney really is made of magic, because there sure as hell isn't anything else holding it together!!!

     I ended up hanging out with Dana for a few nights doing stuff like drinking quite a bit of vodka. I got drunk but not wasted on five two ounce shots. We messed around a couple of times but I felt
really guilty because of Kristen so I just brushed Dana off and hardly talk to her anymore. I knew I could never love her or pursue anything with her and the though of a one night stand with someone
like that made me sick. I've been thinking a lot about love lately and have become even more content with not wanting to find anyone new this summer. I'll just wait... unfortunately this comes during my
stay at the "second easiest place in the country to get laid", and the "place where you will meet your wife".

     But that leaves me severely bored in the meantime with no real purpose in life but to drift along until this fleeting summer is over. It makes it all feel so fake to me since I can't really control anything here and don't care what happens anyway.

June 4, 1995 - Sunday - River Country

     Nothing very good is happening in the woman department these days. It could have something to do with the fact that I work from noon until eleven almost every day and can't go out with everyone
very often. It's also fucking overcast every day off I do get so I'm turning whiter than a fucking marshmallow.

     I had fun last night when me and three of the guys headed out to the theater and saw the latest Die Hard for the second time. It was much better the second time around. There was a riddle where you had one five gallon bottle and one three gallon bottle and had to measure out four gallons precisely. Genius me had to explain the answer fifty times and even draw out a schematic doing so. Heath said that I was actually good for something.

     That reminds me... Matt Spiroti, the Carolinian, has screwed this Chi Omega from Southwest Texas Matt's school named Christi. She's a snob on the bigger side but is still fairly attractive. I
rode in the back seat with her that last time I went to Pleasure Island when I brought Matt back home puking his guts out. Spiroti stood the fellows up Friday night after asking them to wait for him
and then disappearing with Christi and not coming back. He then called last night and said he was bringing a bunch of friends over to have a little party. Clint talked to him first and then Heath, who
was still a little perturbed, got on the phone. He asked him what has a small dick and hangs down. The answer, a bat. He then asked what has a big dick and hangs up... and did!!! We all had a damn good laugh at that one.

     I went with Keven yesterday morning morning to Disney's River Country, the water (hole) park made back in the (Renaissance) seventies. It is free this month to employees so we decided to check
it out rather than paying the fifteen bucks. There are three, yes THREE, slides total and one is a kiddie ride! There is one little clean pool and the bigger one is connected to the lake that borders
many of the better resorts as well as the Magic Kingdom. We got free five dollar locker rentals from the guy working who then asked where we worked so the favor could be returned. Anyone with half a brain cell would know that's not the way things work around here but I laughed and agreed with him anyway.

     We quickly completed the two big rides which were OK but didn't even compare to Adventure Island's smallest ride. There was a volleyball net in about three feet of water and we came up to some
people just horsing around. They asked us to join in and we played and had an awesome time. I joked that there actually was something fun to do in the park.

     At the boat, a few more college program people have actually started working. There's this new girl named Dana who is doing the program for the second time. She's pretty tall and is cute, with
really nice thighs. She's from Massachusetts and wants to transfer to UF!!! to major in early childhood education. I was surprised at how much she paralleled Kristen. A lot of the people at work have kids already and I brought up the subject with her. She laughed and said that she doesn't have any yet but wants to have a lot once she is married. I think I asked her if she is Catholic but she said no.

May 26, 1995 - Friday - Rescuing Matt

     I just performed what I think is the first kind act ever
directed by me towards a fellow male. A million and a half of us
headed over to Pleasure Island tonight and had just gotten in the
front gate when Matt started feeling really sick. He had been totally
wasted for a long time and really needed to head back home. He had
never before taken the shuttle back to Vista Way so I intended on
making sure he made it back home safe and sound. We did meet some
girls from Sweden as we waited for the bus and I almost went to the
grocery store with the two of them to buy alcohol and hang out with
them. I didn't have any money on me though and I didn't want to make
myself look that bad.

May 22, 1995 - Monday - Lara in my Lap

     Today I started working at my new location for the very first
time. It's called Min and Bill's Dockside Diner and looks like a
silly little steamboat sitting in a pond. And most of the people I
work with are either middle aged lesbians or are in some way impaired
(so it seems). But I've been told not to worry because the cute girls
will be coming on the weekends and all summer as soon as school lets
out.

     I had a pretty fun day overall and was somewhat impressed by the
way Disney runs a fast food establishment. It wasn't half as bad as I
feared it would be, or as Matt said it was for him over at the All
Star Resort on his first day.

     It was partially because of the people I got to hang out with
all day, too. I met Rochelle who lives just around the corner from us
here in Vista Way when we were going through the second day of
traditions. She goes to Ball State in Indiana and only knows Clint
from when she met him at the airport after the plane ride here. She
seemed pretty bitter at first about having to work at food service,
and some other people got the same impression about her in general. I
was trying to be witty with her and eventually found out that she was
just dumped before leaving from a relationship that had been going
perfectly up until that day. That might explain just a little bit.

     She showed up on the same bus that Keven and I rode in this
morning and sat just across from me. We ended up arriving an hour
early so we just hung out at some picnic table outside the break room
making fun of everybody. We joke around a lot and I've seen her cute
little smile quite a few times so I've quickly overcome thinking
she's a negative person. If only she didn't have brown eyes...

     I ended up meeting her at lunch as well. She was with a Chinese
girl who goes to UF with me. Rochelle wanted to get some French fries
and since I was already in line at the grill, I saId I'd get them for
her. I then bought them for her and didn't let her pay me back,
although she didn't try very hard. I also encouraged her to let me
buy her a soda this morning during our cash handling break, and she
seemed appreciative. I consider them small monetary tools for kissing
someone's ass.

     She kept telling me about this friend of hers with red hair who
is from England. I finally got to hear her accent at lunch and got to
meet her when she and Rochelle saw me in the unisex locker room. She
introduced herself to me and her name flew straight through me brain
for I was so enthralled by her beauty, especially for a redhead.
Keven met her earlier and said her name is Kirsten when we were on
the van home. I met a few more girls on the way back. One named Kelly
from Miami University in Ohio who is transferring to St. Louis in the
fall. The other's name is Kelly who's best friend rooms with
Rochelle.

     My most promising and exciting venture so far came Saturday
night when we all decided to have dinner together. The girls upstairs
went out and bought the fixings to make spaghetti, al a chef Matt. I
offered the garlic powder to make the bread and washed a lot of the
dishes at the end to do my part. The food was delicious and I was
surprised because I don't normally like chunky sauce.

     We checked out a VCR from the clubhouse after dinner so we could
watch Sleepless in Seattle. As I finished up the dishes, Jennifer who
was laying on the couch, offered to let me sit at her feet. Of course
such a trivial thing excited me and I would have let her through her
feet on me and even massage them had situations warranted. She passes
out pretty quick because of all the lifeguard classes. I woke her up
a little while later and she went ahead back upstairs, giving me the
full couch. By the very end of the movie, only Clint, Lara, and I
remained. I figured that she would be extremely prompt in leaving as
soon as the movie ended because Clint doesn't seem like the kind of
guy she would like to talk to and I just have low self esteem about
myself anyway.

     We all started talking for a few minutes and I was painfully
waiting for her to say goodbye, but she didn't. We brought up grades
somewhere in there and Lara was ranked number four in her class and
was in the upper eleven hundreds on the SAT. Clint's were "worse". So
of course I had to brag without seeming like I was and really
impressed Clint with my 5.3.

     Lara was telling us how they moved down from Pennsylvania early
during high school and she went from the biggest prep school in the
world to a school that was sixty percent black!!! Poor little girl.
She explained that they were the inner city kind and were really
tough and mean which scared the shit out of her. I don't blame her.

     I noticed while we were talking that she would kind of stare off
between us a lot when she was talking and would talk to Clint with
the same look that she was giving the wall. But quite often when she
looked at me her eyes would flutter for an instant almost like she
was the slightest bit shy. I liked that a lot. We kept talking for a
while and it was over an hour and a half before Clint finally went to
bed just before two. I was again overcome by a fear that she would
leave me now so I sat up on the couch and told her to come sit with
me because she seemed to be moving around a lot on the floor. CLint
had been on the far side of the room and she was in the middle of
both of us, but that was no longer necessary with him gone. She
obliged!

     The hourly chime on her watch seemed to beep like an alarm, it
went so fast and so often. It wasn't until after four thirty that we
finally called it a night!!! We talked about everything that has ever
pertained to either of our lives and I knew to take advantage of this
moment because it was one of the rare situations that I work best in.
I also say that all I need is a few hours alone, but preferably on
the phone, with someone to win them over. It almost sounds like a
game but it's not at all, for I was totally interested in everything
this girl had to say.

     I almost orgasmed earlier when we were talking about movies
because she asked at one point if we had ever seen Stargate!!! I said
seven times and she went on to use every argument that I always do to
explain why it is such an awesome movie. I was impressed and told her
so. She also said something from Better Off Dead and I almost died. I
repeated something else back from the movie and she almost had the
same reaction. I have always loved that movie but have NEVER found
anyone who knew what it was until now. I was completely amazed and we
went on to talk about our uniquely similar taste in movies in more
detail.

     She said, after talking about Stargate, that she would love more
than anything to go to Egypt and would really love one of those
nameplates using hieroglyphics. Chrissy knows how to write them so
I'm hoping I can at least get at written copy of her name soon. I
also saw THE military jacket and T-shirt worn by Lieutenant Kawalsky
(John Diehl) in Stargate at this shop at Pleasure Island selling such
things. I stopped standstill and just stared for the longest time,
wanting...

     My search for happiness will be over the day I have Lara sitting
in my lap with nothing but Kawalsky's jacket on, watching Better Off
Dead...
