7:55 AM Friday, March 20, 1992

this is IT. Let me explain (Long version) Saturday Cheryl ended up not going out with me - she had visitors from Austin. So I just worked on messages from the Castle. Sunday I went to work and afterward I had Jodi over and we studied. She studied anthropology; I studied calculus. Monday I had the calc test. It wasn't too bad. After school, I went to work. During work, I told Emilio about Jodi's proposition about summer. He said, "why wait?" Indeed. So after work I asked Jodi if she wanted to take the committment now. She said...

Oh wait. I forgot something. After work on Monday, I talked to Laura. I confirmed with her that she is not staying with us over the summer. Cool. She said basically that I broke up with her before she was ready. At the end of our talk, she was all sad and emotional, and she asked me, "Rob can I ask you something?" I was like "sure please do." She asked "Is it bad to want to kiss you one last time?" I thought for a while. Finally I said, "Not it's not bad, but I can't do it." She said, "Thank you... thank you" and that was it.. Dude.

So after that I asked Jodi if she wanted to really wait until summer to make a committment. She said, "You're Mr No Committment Man. I'd love to now." So we are officially going together. Excellent! We are going to have a fantastic Spring Break. We slept over at Jodi's house that night. The next morning we went to class. After school, Jodi and I went to the Galleria to go shopping for Maggie and Molly's birthday. We got Molly a wooden CD case identically styled, but twice the size of her current one. We got Maggie a wildly colored umbrella. We stopped by an expensive novelty store and saw the perfect sandals for me. They are entirely waterproof with velcro all over. They're designed for hiking and tromping through water, etc. Cool. I will most likely get them for my birthday. Cool. Oh we also got Jodi the CD soundtrack for Beauty and the Beast. Cool. Jodi went to work and I went to Laura's. Laura and I struck a deal. She didn't want to eat anything that they had at OB. But she didn't want to waste her board card by not letting me use it. But she didn't want to let me use it because of Jodi and I. So I told her that I'd go to Kroger and get her some stuff she would eat in exchange for her board card. So that's what we did. Cool.

That night, Jodi slept with me over at my house. We had great sex. At the end she said, "I thought I had done it in every position." heh heh. I told her that she still hasn't done every position. Wednesday was my Discrete Math test. I failed it like crazy. So I'm going to drop the class today. Wednesday at work we had an incredible storm. 15 minute period: Literally: Calm weather. No wind no rain. 5 minutes later, the wind was so fucking violent that it wasn't funny. I watched a trash can blow across the street. Lamp posts were waving wildly. The rain was gusting sideways and down into the street in the same way as ocean water striking a ship during a tempest. 5 minutes later it was barely sprinkling. When I got off work a couple hours (1.5 hours) later, the streets were dry. Hold shit.

After work, I embarked on my assembly language programming marathon. I got to school and we first celebrated Maggie and Molly's birthday. We had cake from Kroger and gave them their gifts. Cool. Then Maggie and I went to the VAX and laughed and giggled and burped and listened to music and programmed a little until 4AM. Before I got off work, she sent me a wonderful message saying how it was so hard to work alone and that she wished I was there to help her through it all. Very nice. She had her head phones there and we each used one in one ear. At one point we were jamming hard to some good old tunes. At 4AM we said forget it and went to bed. I called Jodi and crawled into bed with her until about 8AM. At that time I went to OB and asked Maggie to sneak out some breakfast for me. We went to class and stayed for about 5 or 8 minutes. Then we went and VAXed all day until Physics. Then we went to Physics and then Jodi met me for lunch for a minute. Then I VAXed some more until 9:30PM when Jodi got off work. I went to eat a pizza slice from Coogs' Cafe with Jodi, Then she got some books and sat ever so patiently with me at the VAX while I worked. I got it almost perfect and submitted my final version at 11:51 PM. 9 minutes before it was due. Then I drove Jodi out to my house and we lay in bed for a while. I told her I was slightly horny, and we started to kiss.

Dude. We'll have a great Spring Break.

I woke up this morning and did laundry while she slept. Then we came back to school. It's now during my (almost) ex-discrete math class. Russ, Steve, and Adrian are outside here at Agnes Arnold underground on the northwest white wall. (They are standing on the ground using the wall as a table to review for linear Algebra test.) I'm sitting on the wall about to give O'Malley my drop form. (I failed the (both) tests in here.)

Dude. Yesterday on my way from non breakfast to class at 8:30AM, I talked to the guys who were assembling the water pipes for the Cullen fountain. They assembled a section and then labeled it with magic marker. That gave me an idea. "May I put my name on one of those?" "Which one?" "Whichever one you're about to use." So they handed me a tube about 4 feet long and 6 inches in diameter and the magic marker. I signed "Robert was here 3-19-1992" Dude. And when I walked by there today. I saw the assembled piece with my name prominently on there. Ultimately Excellent. I am now going to be immortalized in the Cullen Fountain. permalink
