Hi..me again…sorry for the long gap. So, where was I?? Oh yeah…Buffalo…waist-deep in snow. I quickly found out that my idea of what college SHOULD be like and what it was ACTUALLY LIKE…were two completely different things.
Since I had seen the movie “Daddy Longlegs” with Fred Astaire..where the girl goes off to school with trunkloads of fabulous dresses, etc…that’s what I did. I was so thrilled at the prospect of dressing for the dances, socials, dates, football games….WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. As I began unpacking my “trunks”, my roomate and suitemates were sitting on the floor in their WORK OVERALLS smoking pot and laughing. Where was my social whirlwind, my mint juleps…my gentlemen callers…something told me I was not in the south anymore. So, fast forward about a month…I am now sitting on the floor in WORK OVERALLS AND WORK BOOTS…smoking POT, eating pizza, and passing around a bottle of whiskey. Cinderella had turned into a hippy at midnight. Talk about BACKWARDS!
One day I saw a beautiful boy playing guitar in the lobby of my dorm and fell head -over -workboots in love. After asking around I found out who he was and wormed my way into his life. We were both virgins and I remember the night I lost that title. It always reminds me of the song from “A Chorus Line”….”I felt nothing”. All I remember is about 10 seconds of something after which he said “it broke”. I found out later he was referring to the condom.
We dated a while until I fell in love with Jesus. I was in the college production of “Jesus Christ Superstar”…and Jesus was downright dreamy. We started hanging out together and I fantasized about how passionate it would be for Mary Magdalene to be making love to Jesus…wouldn’t it be so cool in the throes of passion screaming out his name and it WAS HIS NAME???? Oh Jesus…that didn’t happen. What DID happen is I bopped over to his off-campus apartment for a surprise visit and found him in bed with KING HARROD!! I mean, JESUS CHRIST already. As you can probably guess, that pretty much ended my fantasy. It wouldn’t have been as much fun screaming out ASSHOLE.
