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.
