My Life as a Whirlwind...

[phyllis_poetess]

So much has happened to me I haven’t had any time to document it all. It’s as if my life has become this whirlwind of incredible events and before I have a chance to breathe and take it all in, something else happens. It’s not just about Eupheme or working at Brennan’s and my curious relationship with Shawn - it’s all sorts of things - mainly

Hello Phyllis, long time no see. I'm glad some good things have happened to you in your travels, however!

As for the party, I can tell you right now, it was pretty lackluster. Southern or not, they had rap playing and no one payed attention to the theme mostly. I've met some delightful new characters, but some of the old ones have turned exceptionally sour, although I managed to drink myself into a sot.

And, as for the sex, well. I can't say the lifestyle is for everyone, but I enjoy it to it's fullest. I can't possibly settle down like you have, Phyllis, there's something that calls me and pulls me hither and yon to try everything I possibly can before I die.

And I will die young, I can assure you of it, I never want to grow old.

In any case, congratulations. I hope I'll at least be seeing you in class. Are the professors anything but awful this year?

Oh, my dear Byron - it isn't the sex at all. It's just that everyone seems to have sex with the same people - tres dull. I mean, if I were ever so inclined, who'd be interested in me? By the way, I haven't quite settled down, but right now, I guess Shawn and I have something going on - I'm just not certain what, so I just have to take things as they come.

And yes, I'll be around and thus far the professors aren't as bad as the unlamented MLSA (My Lord Suck Ass).

I thought that about Chaucer's party, too...but since it was a chance to see people we hadn't seen in a while, we eventually decided to pretend the theme didn't exist and guess what, so had everyone else. I think there were maybe two or three people total who went in costume.

I'm glad to hear you found your mother's family. I have to wonder, though--why would they contact you now and not earlier?

[phyllis_poetess]

At that point, I didn't ask. I was just so happy to meet them finally. I'm sure though, my father had something to do with it.

And the next time there's a party, maybe I should be the one planning it.

[burning_blake]

You should!

Hey, I'm African and it doesn't bother me.

At any rate, my name is Augustine, but you can call me AJ.

I wish I had your self-restraint, or at least part of me does. God will reward you for it, as soon as he's done figuring out what he wants from me. Unfortunately, it could be a while.

See you around?

[phyllis_poetess]

Hi AJ, nice to finally meet you. I've seen you in the hallways between classes, but haven't had much time to stop and chat.

Self-restraint, huh? Actually, I'd consider it a lack of opportunity - though I'm kinda wondering if I ever got the chance what I'd do or say. Maybe I'm strange or something, but while i don't expect unconditional love from my first, I certainly don't want to get into some knock-down drag-out altercation that turns into school gossip. If we could simply remain friends and not lovers - I'd settle for that.

That's kinda the problem here at Eupheme...way too much drama. I say if you're going to have sex with each other, at least be mature about it when it's all over.

Although between you, me and the wall, Byron's love life (or should I say 'lust life') is pretty fascinating.

[burning_blake]

I was going to say that I doubt you'd have any trouble finding somebody, but if you want to avoid drama, that is tricky. I would almost suggest Byron precisely because he's had so much experience and isn't likely to get attached...but he's already had far more luck than he deserves.

[phyllis_poetess]

Hmm, Byron...does he like both sexes?
