Entry: Hidden for 88 Years! Sunday, October 15, 2006
I
met a guy at Va Pride. Hes a senior and lives off campus and hes sort
of your Greek God type. We talked for a while and he asked if Id like
to go to a movie or something on Friday. I said yes and he said do you
want to come by my place first? And I said would it be ok if you came
to the dorm and picked me up? He said ok and I told him the building
and number.
It wasnt till later that I realized that Greek
godlike or not, I dont really want to go out with him. I dont really
like him. Hes sort of a creepo. So I called him and made excuses and
left it at something like "maybe another time." I also realized that
the only reason I said yes in the first place, and the reason I wanted
him to come to the dorm to get me was that I was hoping somebody else
who lives here might see me going out with a Greek godlike guy. And I
donno...maybe this other guy would get jealous. I hate it when I find myself doing something that small.
In
other newz, heres a cool story from right here at Mr. Jeffersons
University. You may have seen this on the news last week. UVa bought a
bunch of old books from this private collection of a family in New
England. And they were being arranged and cataloged by a grad student
before they were going to be displayed here. The grad student was going
thru the old books and opened this book of poetry by Robert Frost, and
saw that there was an inscription by Frost himself in the cover of the
book. And then he saw that it wasn't just an inscription. It was a
whole poem, handwritten and signed by Robert Frost and dated 1918. The
poem was about a friend of his who was killed in WWI. And here's the
amazing part--it had never been published! Nobody except the man who
owned that book had ever seen it before!
88 years sitting inside this book, waiting for the right person to open it.
Awesome.
I'll
probly spend Friday nite in my little cave in the stacks lol. Unless
theres a Greek godlike guy who isnt a creepo who wants to go out with
me haha.
