This is Tommie - She likes me, she really likes me

Well, let me think ok, here we go basically being too black for white folks and too white for black folks I was pretty much devoid of any confidence when it came to girls whatsoever. I could never get up the courage to ever go up to one and actually speak to her. People made me feel ugly or even if they didn't I was sure I would hear something like "I would like you but..."

But there was this girl in school named Daria we well that’s not her real name but if you met her she would remind you of the character Daria Morgandorffer. She was cute I guess but, I was more attracted to her being smart as hell. She was also on the social outs so that made her a bit more approachable I suspect. Her Mom was a teacher and wanted the best for her daughter. She took opera lessons and stuff. She was VERY smart and I liked being around someone that was smart. She had lost her father in the 5th grade I think and she was still very bitter about that. When I think about it now I think that had something to do with the way she was. At any rate she was extremely sarcastic while she was religious she could respect the fact that I wasn't. She is one of the few people I've ever met in life who was religious but wasn't sanctimonious about the whole affair. I mean this was the perfect girl for me she hated life and everyone in it just as I did!

If I could only get her to like me then we could get married and rule the world with our awesome intellect culling all the people who thought they were cool but were really jerks from the face of the planet.

Well at the end of the 10th and the summer of the 11th grade (we are going back a bit) we talked over the phone and we got cool and close and then she said it. She thinks she likes me. I was like wow. Someone actually likes me and not with that if only you were white or if you didn't sound white. I didn't know what to do with myself. So we would hang out and stuff and I'd go over to her house and pick her up so we could go to Dairy Queen (it's a fast food restaurant but, they serve a lot of frosted treats) and she would get a banana split. It was cool so after a while we started going together. I don't know how it happened it just happened.

Oh wait! Yes I do, she said if we go together for 6 months then we can have sex. 6 months in teenage years was an eternity but like I always say I'm not a quitter. If I can see the reward then I can work for it. Hell as far as I was concerned that was a sucker's bet. It's not like anyone else liked me hell it wasn't like anyone was even interested in me so all I had to do basically was stay alive for 6 months and I was in.

Well between hanging out with J and his friends and seeing her I was starting to form the beginning of my power base. That is is in part what helped me to face Jason.

So now then lets flash-forward to about November 1990 I was in ROTC and I used to be the Drill team captain we used guns to march with but I preferred Sabers and our Captain allowed me to take a few ROTCers and have my own team. We used to practice all the time and one day we got done early. I decided I would go over to her house before I went home. I gave her a call to see if she was there and she said yeah come by and that her Mom was gone. Well, ok I never really gave much thought to the idea so I get over there and she is dressed in this sexy see thru nightgown and it's like 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I'm thinking, I like this but isn't she supposed to be more dressed?

She said, "Do you know what day it is?"

"Wednesday?"

She said, "No, we've been together for 6 months now."

Well stuff apples in my mouth and call me a pie! I started counting after she did and my ship has come in early! Being quick of wit like I am I wasn't one to argue I learned early on let a woman have her way when you get the chance, it doesn't happen very often. Unlike my first time I had a real plan for her. The way I felt I knew I had one chance if I didn’t’ get it right I’d never have another chance with a woman again. I mean if I couldn't get the nerdist girl in school off what chance did I have with any girl?

I think one of the world’s best-kept secrets is that geeks and nerds make the best lovers. Why do you ask? Well they say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, coupled with a desire to make a girl happy? Use your imagination and that’s exactly what I did. I did a lot of reading and watching porn when I could sneak it. I figured long ago that I'd be a lame for the rest of my life and I figured if I had one skill this would be the one. I guess it worked and after that day everything changed.

1. I started having sex a lot.
2. My Dad and I became bitter enemies
