Why's It Feel So Good? Cont'd

The next day was stressful as I figured out which meeting I'd attend and
which I couldn't. We got assigned election stories in class, which sucked b/c
I've been having bad experiences with the school paper and naturally, that
particular editor was the one to visit our class and ask us to cover the stories.
So I agreed to do two, write one and assist with another. My professors were
letting us out of class for the big day, so I knew I'd have the time.

My other class I finally went to for the first time in three weeks, so that
sucked b/c I was so behind. I knew it'd suck trying to study for those exams
back-to-back like last time, but so be it. I did much better this time, almost
doubling my score, but still got a C with the grade curve. Skipping ahead,
Wednesday nite I covered my first beat assignment in the design college and
that sucked b/c the lecturer used so much architectural jargon, I could barely
understand what was goin on most of the time as all the other students
laughed at his technical jokes. I felt so dumb, so I left before it was over to
figure out how in the hell I'd write that story. I caught up on my e-mails
before going home and trying to study again. Thursday, I was a good girl and
went to all my classes since I had an exam in the second one. I spent the
whole morning studying for my mythology exam and finally gave into hunger
and went to lunch. I met up with Vee and Summer, and Karan happened to
be there, so I got my ID back, which I'd left at work the other day.
Then in my first class, I was finally able to view a printed copy of the
magazine and it was almost everything I dreamed it'd be. After that, I did
whut I suspected to be a poor performance on my mythology exam.

Later I had the opportunity to meet actor Brendan Fraser who was there to
promote the documentary on Kerry and introduce its producer/director. So I
never got to shake his hand like everyone else b/c I was waiting in the wrong
area while he was talkin to the VIP group. But it was nice seeing him and I
got to watch a bit of the film which seemed interesting. I had to leave though
so I could get some study time for my law exam in and before everyone
showed up for the Black greeks forum. Nita was there early as she'd attened
a meeting with me before I went to the film and a few others started showin
up early. I guess they came straight from dinner so they wouldn't be tempted
to go home and stay there. So it was cool, Doc and his organization finally
got a good turnout so I was pleased b/c last year's forum sucked in terms of
attendance. The characters on the panel was funny and though I can't go into
specifics, I'll never forget how hard Key and I laughed as we left early to
study. Naturally, we talked much of the time we were in there and I stopped
by to say hello and find out what happened after we left.

I stayed up til 3 that morning studying for my law exam, and my baby who
had a bigger exam at 8 a.m. said good night around 11 p.m., so I was all
alone when I finally got to bed. I don't think I did that great on the exam, but
I did understand a majority of whut I was supposed to say so it's hard to tell.
Afterwards, I began work on my article and shadowed a leader in one of the
political parties on campus. She turned out to be a lot of fun, so that was
cool and afterwards I headed to work. Once I got off, I lucked up on a ride
from Vee on the condition that I help her take her braids out. She agreed to
return the favor by taking me to different places to see if I could find a better
costume and accessories. I got this cool cigarrette holder and I realized the
bunny ears might not be a good idea.

It was cool catchin up with Vee since we don't talk on a regular basis it was
interesting finding out that she'd been talkin to Que as of late. I would've
never guessed, but I figure he could do her some good, mentally and
otherwise I guess. I don't know if I should break this news to Kay, but I think
it might be best for her discover on her own, besides, she's not really
investing her emotions in him, since I told her she shouldn't. Soon after, we
departed as she had a hair appointment and I had a meeting to go to. I met
up with Annette despite almost getting caught in the rain and ruining my
hair. As we sat in the hall waiting to be called, Doc showed up to decorate for
the Black greeks Halloween party. At one point, he was talkin to some girl
who would not let him go, so he came over to me while listening to her and
sort of rubbed my back. I controlled myself, but on the inside, i wanted to
take him back to our secret public place we ran off to last November and have
my way with him. I restrained and accepted his hug in a calm and collected
manner. I know he was waiting for the girl to leave so he could say to me
something he shouldn't say, but by then Annette had returned, and he had to
leave.

We waited nearly two hours for our finance meeting for the magazine only to
have everything from our proposed budget cut with the exception of printing
costs and writing literature. We were happy, but pissed at some of the
members of the all-white committee. So we went out to eat and eventually,
got two drinks at whut has become my new favorite hideout. I knew Annette
would like the place so went up there to have a drink and talk about our
flourishing love lives. It was fun and cool bonding with Annette as our usual
interaction involves just the magazine, so it was nice to be free from the
demands of work. We called it a small celebration for finally getting some
kind of money.

At the bus stop, we hugged and departed. I got home a little tipsy and
decided to call my baby, who was unfortunately in a bad mood. He was
stressin over the exam he'd taken that morning, worrying about the
possibility of his not passing and having to take an extra semester of classes.
I told him not to let it depress him, but his negative attitude started to bug
me so I told him to call me later. He did as Nita and I were leaving for the
Halloween party. She agreed to pick up Key once she got ready, but Key
ended up stayin at home to study.

So the two of us partied and throughout the nite, Doc made it a point to be
near me in some way. He danced with me and Nita in his ridiculous Flavor
Flave costume. Then Mouse showed up in a bad wig and big hat as an old
church lady. Not too far behind her was the Intellectual as himself, the
Omega man unrestrained. It was good to see them and many other people
used their creativity, while others just came out to support. It was a nice
gathering and while I secretly longed for Doc to whisper in my ear that we
should meet in the basement, I stayed true to myself and my sweetheart.
Before we went into the party, I practically yelled at him for making me wait
when it seemed just too inconvenient for him to visit this semester, so I felt
bad. However, I was able to forget about it in the meantime. Vee was there
as a vampire in hooker hose and Que looked like a member of Run DMC so I
called him DJ Alpha. Everyone seemed to have fun, and when it was over, I
went to say bye to Doc when he admitted to staring at my cleavage and
asking if my bra was padded. I flirtatiously responded that I was gonna make
him one of my hoes (since I was a pimp of sorts) and ofcourse he brought up
his girl. I knew it was only b/c Nita was right there, so I let it pass and soon
we went home.

Again, Wood texted me askin if he would see me in my costume, so I called to
let him know he could. His ass wasn't even around and asked how late I'd be
up, but a half hour wasn't enough time for him, so that was too bad for him.
Then Saturday was okay, I went to work and afterwards, attempted to return
the stupid costume I'd ordered and never used and the dumb company's
phone line was busy all day until the end. Then I read the Halloween policy
that says anything purchased after the 13th is nonrefundable so I'm pissed.
Vee and I decide to go to the nail shop, and end up shoppin at the mall a bit.
I got a "everybody loves an Asian girl" T-shirt b/c they didn't have any for
black girls, Gadzooks sucks ass! As Vee made plans with Que, I wondered
whut I'd do for the remainder of the day, I didn't want a repeat from the
weekend before. Hopefully my sistas would want to go to the movies still.

Vee unsuccessfully tried to set up a double date with her, Que, Doc, and me,
but of course, Doc was unavailable. Not that I got my hopes up or anything,
it would've been interesting if that had actually happened. Anyway, I ended
up goin with my homegirls, though we were late, the movie SAW was scary as
all hell and afterwards we went back to their place to watch "Breakin All the
Rules." I talked to my baby who said he'd finally had a date for his flight,
DECEMBER 3RD, so I could finally get off his back! I'm so excited.

Anyway, I loved that movie too, but once I got home i was still terrified I'd
have nightmares or even a close encounter on the way home and texted
Wood to see if he could walk me home. But if I'd waited for his response, I
might still be at Nita's, so I ran home as they watched me from their
apartment window. The next day I went to church and later was when I get
my response from Wood, but by then it was way too late and I was a little
peeved. It's obvious he justs wants me as a sex buddy, but he can't get that
without investing some kind of time and if he can't find it, too damn bad, he
don't want any of this. So I sat and studied, or rather socialized, with Nita at
the community center til it came close to time for me to volunteer again to
get people out to the polls with Kay and our "organization" of sorts. It sucks
b/c it's really like she's the only one putting in the effort. I got Vee to drop
me off over there, while tryin to convince her to volunteer too, but she said
she had laundry, a classic excuse from Vee! So we, Kay, myself, and one of
my favorites, whom I'll call Diva b/c she's a Delta and she's just cool as hell.
The three of us and another friend made calls as we listened to Que's radio
program, during which he dedicated a song to us, "Star" by the Roots. In the
meantime, we heard Doc laughin it up with him in the studio, even though he
should've been helpin us make calls, we didn't hold it against him. So that
was Sunday.

Last nite, the Libra called me and asked if he could be my assignment for the
nite, but I had to politely reject him b/c I had work to get done. But we'll see
later this week, if he doesn't go out of town. I'll insist I need to go OUT on a
date b/c I know he's gonna try to trap me at his house. Anyway, now it is
Election Day, or rather, it was and thank goodness it's over b/c it's been just
plain hectic! Now I'm all caught up in this diary, for the most part. And now
I'm goin to sleep. Until next time, live, love, life!
