PART DUEX: "Another Broken Heart on Campus"

Saturday, January 21, 2006

The following is the second part of,
"No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished"

Ted and Alice (names replaced to protect the guilty) seemed like a great couple. I mean, they were made for each other! They were both dumpy, both wore coke-bottle lens glasses, he played an excellent guitar and she sang like an angel, they had pretty much everything in common. A very cute couple to say the least.

I would pal with Ted and Alice and join their campy sing-a-longs from time to time.., of course Ted liked to play a little Nugent on his cheap acoustic guitar just to break the, Kum-Ba-Ya / John Denver, rut on occasion. I'd sing along, crack my jokes and engage in a witty exchange of conversations with myself; i.e., impressions of John Wayne, talking to Paul Lindsey, talking to Gomer Pyle.., and so on.

Then one day I did this "invisible friend" gag, whereby I sit right from you - no one else near, place a finger from both hands on each closed eye. I call on my invisible friend to make his presence known and the invisible friend would supposedly pat the subject on the back of the head. Alice was impressed. Too impressed.

The next morning I headed across campus for the kitchen! I was ready for a hearty breakfast and get on with the classes. Alice was waiting for me in the cafeteria, approached, looked up into my eyes and said, "Dave. What are we going to tell Ted?"

I get a blank. "Tell Ted?" I quizzed. I had no idea what Alice was talking about. Alice cleared her voice then began, "About us. What do we say to Ted?"

What was it about this place? Did the art of higher learning just get a major dose of stupid? First Candy and her wrong idea, then Alice. I began questioning myself. Was I doing something that seemed to be a romantic gesture to Candy and then Alice and be oblivious to it?

I asked her again just to clarify what was going on; "What!? What are you talking about, Alice?". She reminded me about my invisible man trick and swore we made "knowing eye contact" whatever that was supposed to mean. She went on to explain she would most likely tell Ted about us herself.

Just great! A really great guy like Ted was going to be crushed over Alice's twisted idea. Naturally I explained (once again) there was NO US, and this whole thing was wrecking the friendship between all three of us. I apologized if there was something I did that gave her the wrong idea.

This long story made short; Alice became irate with me for "being a slime"? Went and told Ted I lead her on and cheated with her. I never touched the girl not even in a kiss. Anyways - Ted hated my guts, Alice went spreading tales while I stood with somebody else's egg on my face.

Anywho - I learned a valuable lesson from those days. Some women really are nuts. I mean, that sort of thing just never happened all the time - but those two times really left me with sense of constant worrying about sending the wrong message. I mean.. am I the one thats nuts and these girls were simply a victim of my Donny Juan charms? Nah. I have all the charm of a drunken gorilla in a fine china shop. (yeah Its supposed to be bull - but this is my blog so back off).

	brandy101 January 21, 2006 06:41 PM PST that Alice must have sipped off the little bottle that said "drink me" a bit too often...


	Judy January 21, 2006 02:29 PM PST Boy, Dave, you really know how to find 'em, eh?


	plh January 21, 2006 11:48 AM PST god only knows Daveman what possesed those two women - if its as you say you apparently did run into bad ruck *bad chinese accent - i guess something like that can happen anywhere - ive had similar happen as well as Rob has - one case in example was when Rob and i were in a Safeway market shopping TOGETHER - one of the checkers started following Rob around the store - at first i thought it was my imagination then i delibertly split up from Rob and headed down another aisle, to look back up the one he was on - that darned checker was making gestures and whisperin to Rob... 'hey you - yes you hey come here & whistling at him' - he was oblivious to the whole thing - after we checked out i told him & he said i was nuts - so he drove back up to that Safeway & low and behold i dont know what happened - after he got home he refused to talk about it LOL - YES i guess im the nutty one, or maybe Rob was havin a fling? ;) way before Rob & married to some jerk... i had a 'charmer' of a fella that i had 3 shared classes with at college - we had to walk the same direction from all 3 no mater what because of a forest and narrow trails - one day maybe 2 months into school, he stops me just outside the 3rd class and says very curtly... 'are you following me?' - i looked blankly at him and was very puzzled then i said... 'are you kidding, we have 3 classes together and to get to them we must walk the same trails' he says back... 'yes but you have been following me' i said back ...'NO ive been walking the trail behind you so i can get to my class' he said... 'you dont need to follow me' i said... 'OK ive an idea, from now on ill leave the classes first and that way you will be following me instead' - after that he never said another word nor bothered me again & he took my suggestion and from then on he was following me LOL ;) -
