My Wells Woman spent the weekend with me again this week. She'll be coming up next weekend to go with me to a dance. I honestly don't think that this was the best weekend for her to come up here. Firstly, I had to work on the Friday evening that she had arrived. This meant that I spent about one or two hours with her before saying, "I have to work now." Two hours at my job (I usually work on Saturdays, the reschedule for this week still baffles me) and then I saw her again. Of course, when Sunday came I had commitments from 2:30-6:00PM. Guess what for? I'll give you a hint: the organization's name has four call letters. My Wells Woman and I had a talk on Saturday. We have effectively defined the nature of our relationship: we are just friends who happen to have sex. I've been thinking a lot about that. I know that I am not now, nor am ever likely to fall in love with her. That being, should she and I really be having sex? I can say that I care for her as a person, but I've been questioning as the appropriateness of having sex with someone I don't love. Please don't tell me that I'm getting a sudden rush of morality. That would really mess me up. I know that I don't want a girlfriend. In fact, I actually think being single is a really good idea at this point. Maybe I should fall in love and start dating with someone before having sex with her? Then again, I could just be further deluding myself.
The truth will out: if you want to entertain a peaceful existence, do not live on-campus. A few days ago, the University Police discovered some stolen road signs in the lounge of my residence hall. They also found some powdered lemonade arranged in lines on a table, and immediately assumed that since it was a powder, and since it was in lines, it must be cocaine (such logic). It was rumored for a while that everyone's room was going to be searched, but that never came to pass. I guess I can empty out my trashcan of the used condoms and tissues. Search my room!
Just a few random thoughts:
