What Comes Up During Sex?

Friday, February 28th, 2003

Wednesday Luke and I went over to Beth’s to study. We did fairly well, too. I wish we would have been able to start earlier than we did, which was my fault, because if we had been able to we could have finished earlier. Had we planned on finishing by midnight, we could have studied in the library instead, which would have been more productive.

However, it wouldn’t have been nearly amusing enough. Especially since every hour, when the clock let out bird noises as a chime, Luke freaked out. At about 12:58 we were studying and Luke just suddenly looked up at the clock and pointed yelling, “You’re not gonna get me this time, fucker!” Of course, by 1:00 he had forgotten and it did surprise him.

We were there until two’o-clock. After taking Luke back to campus, I found out that my sister’s car had a flat tire. So Luke kept me company and provided suggestions and bits of help while I changed the tire. I didn’t get to bed until after three’o-clock. I think that the exam went about average, though.

Last night the meeting with the Iowa Department of Health was alright. It wasn’t that exciting, but it’s not my job to understand what people do or think in regards to sexual practices. Hopefully whatever was said will be helpful to them. The only thing that was wierd was the first few questions. At first the lady was asking about where we went to pick up partners for sex. Six out of the eight of us were in monogamous relationships, so they were all kind of silent. They were also phrased really poorly, “Where do you go to meet partners?” Romantic partners? To get dates? To get casual sex? What?

I signed my load documents for my car yesterday afternoon. I go to pick it up at three’o-clock this afternoon. I’m excited to have a car again.

It’s Dean’s birthday today as well. Dinner this evening as well as Funny Bone entertainment. After that, I have to go home and work on the Youth and Shelter Services web site. They need changes made by tomorrow. Luckily, I work in the evening tomorrow. I’ll miss my day to really sleep in, but at least I won’t lose giant amounts of sleep.

And They Were Singin’…

Last night Luke and I studied for programming languages. We went through the study guide and checked off things as we decided that we had a grasp on them. I feel somewhat better about this exam. I’m still nervous for it, but it will be over soon enough though.

When I got home last night I found out that the car salesman had called. He told us about all of the new things in the car and said that he couldn’t come down to what I was asking. I was cool with it. Then they told me that not long after he called again. Apparently he had called corporate, and they told him to sell the car even if it was at a loss so that they could have another car for this short, ill-weathered month; so he matched my price exactly. I’m very excited because I liked the car, and more importantly, I finally have a car to call my own again.

Tonight I have a board meeting for Youth Alliance, supplimental instruction for physics, and a miracle session to finish studying for the exam. I’m vaguely worried about the amount of sleep I’m going to get, but I’ll have to just see how fast things get accomplished. I may not get my reading assignment done for Thursday, which is a shame considering I am completely caught up on my reading for both classes as of today.

Thursday evening I have to sign loan documents, probably do extra reading, and I have a meeting for Youth Alliance where we can hopefully win funding to provide young, gay men with education about safer sex and sexually transmitted diseases. Of course, this is all after class, which runs fr 9:30 in the morning to 3:30.

Friday is Dean’s birthday, so I have to get the car at the dealership, hopefully pick up his present, go to dinner, then to the Funnybone at 10 p.m., and after that I have a web page due for YSS by Saturday! I’m certainly going to be busy for a while, now.
