I knew I was outta luck the day the music died

Spring Semester 2002

When sophmore year ended, so did me and Hippie. I was pretty unhappy with our relationship anyways. I always wanted to see him. He wanted to hang out with his friends. His friends loved me and were so happy about the relationship, but they had me on watch to make sure I didn't flirt with other men. I was sort of stuck, but luckily the end of the year ended things for me... or so I thought.

In January of 2002, Hippie was back on campus after a summer and semester abroad. In the time that he was away, there was BlondEngineer, Matti, KoreanDancer and plenty of non-memorable kegs... but when I came back for the spring of 2002 I was excited to see Hippie. I was secretly hoping we could start back up. Things would be different this time around.

When I arrived at the party, I saw him but was too drunk to properly think of what to say. We said hello and hugged, but I felt weird. We didn't really chat and I didn't see him for the rest of the night.

The following week, I go out to Sligos and a lot of Hippie's housemates are there. I had just gotten back from downtown after a night with BlondEngineer, and I wasn't in the mood to think about Hippie. But they were all very excited to see me and told me that I just HAD to come to their house party on Saturday.

When Saturday came, I hit up every other party I could before heading over to Hippie's place. I was nervous, but finally I sucked it up and headed over. It was cool because there were a lot of people there, plus I had Twin with me. Hippie and I didn't really make an effort to have a conversation, but finally I got the guts to go over to him.

The attraction was still there and I totally got a vibe from him... but I was still really nervous. The entire house was watching us, waiting to see what would happen.

We didn't hook up that night, but I did stop by the following week. We finally got some alone time. It was late, and I was lying in his bed with him. I felt good. I liked him. I was so happy because this was it... our second chance.

Hippie is holding me tight and then he says, "I'm sorry Roxy but I can't hook up with you... I like someone else."
