What Was I Supposed to Do

OK, so the other night I'm down at the local college watering hole having a beer and playing some darts. I live in a liberal arts college town and that's pretty much it for me unless I wanna hang out at the country bar, which I don't, though I went to college out of state and graduated several years ago. While I'm playing darts this super-cute girl strikes up a conversation with me, she's there with a bunch of her friends who're here for summer session. Cool, whatever, right, she looks about twenty - I'm too old for her but what the hell. Well, the beer starts flowing and I don't get super-tanked but I get loose enough to think why not, you know, who's it gonna hurt. And when she says her & her friends are gonna go back to her room and party and would I like to come along, I say yeah, only on the walk to the dorm everybody sorta couples off and by the time I get to her dorm it's just me and her and then she opens the door.

You're named like my name! Seriously, I am also James Morton. But that's beside the point. I've had a similar situation recently, but at the other end of the ick spectrum. This girl had fucking teddy bears and pictures of 'hot' TV stars and stuff all over her walls and every available surface. Seriously, it was like walking into a teenager's room (she was 21).

I think what's to be garnered from this is that youth is indeed wasted on the young.

what you can't see in the frame is me not wanting to drive home with four beers in me but at the same time not having anything more to say about how trippy A Scanner Darkly is

I will never understand men. I would not be able to have sex in that room.

I am imagining someone breaking into an enthusiastic chorus of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" during copulation now. :/

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:35 (twenty years ago)

I think this room has done permanent damage to my eyes

― James Morton (Tommy), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:38 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad she managed to hold on to all her high school art projects.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:41 (twenty years ago)

ooh oooh did she play any mood music?

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:43 (twenty years ago)

fuckin' Gnarls Barkley on repeat all night

― James Morton (Tommy), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:44 (twenty years ago)

I have a friend who recently told me about her ex-boyfriend who insisted on, not only listening to JOURNEY when they had the sex, but SINGING ALONG.

ANYWAY YOU WANT UGH IT THAT'S URGH THE WAY YOU AH NEED IT

― the doaple gonger (nickalicious), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:46 (twenty years ago)

I HOPE SHE PLAYED THE ONE ABOUT NECROPHILIA.

What school lets students write all over the walls of their dorm room?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:54 (twenty years ago)

apart from the DMB quote - which is a creepy thing to have over yr bed for chrissakes - I don't really think its all that awful. I mean come on its a 21 yo college girl, what else would you expect? She's got her artsy little inspirational stuff, she likes some obviously "trendy" music, what's so wrong with that?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:34 (twenty years ago)

I'm a 20 yo college girl and I find it disgusting.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:35 (twenty years ago)

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BAD TASTE.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

How did you explain taking a picture of her room?

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:40 (twenty years ago)

"hang on, I want to always remember you this way"

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:41 (twenty years ago)

"oh man this is EXACTLY how I want to decorate my room, hold on"

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:42 (twenty years ago)

more pressing question: how did you justify using her computer to post on ILX?

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 16:43 (twenty years ago)

"fuck and run"

They're at home. :c There is literally nothing on my walls.

SHE WAS TOO YOUNG FOR ME AND I WAS DRUNK. ALSO, 1983!

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Hello, my name is James Morton and I'm going to tell you a story.

It's about a young girl...
She's only twenty years old and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

She lives with her parents in New Jersey and they love her very much;
And one night she and her friends decided they were going to come to New York City.

"My Parents are away and I'll take their car, they will never know!
We're gonna have a great time!" she said.

And they drove over the George Washington Bridge and drove downtown to the Limelight.

"Wow, look at the line!"
"Don't worry I know the guy at the door, we'll get in."
And they did.

"So many people, look at that guy's shoes... they must be a mile high!"
And she turned around and bumped into a really cute guy.

They had a good time, they danced for hours and hours;
and she had a few drinks too!

"Hey", he said, "My roommate's not home and well,
I was wondering if you wanna, you know... come to my place.
I just don't wanna... I just don't wanna be alone." And she said, "Yes!".

So they got into a taxi and went to 3rd Avenue and 11th street to the NYU dorm rooms
And went upstairs and sat on his bed.

And he said, "Take this pill..." And she did.
And then she said, "What did you just give me?"
"Ecstasy." he said. And then...

He fucked her all night. Fucked her all night. Fucked her all night.
Fucked her all night...

It's just one night in NYC. One night in NYC. One night in NYC.
It's just one night in NYC.

i miss dorm rooms

― velko, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:42 (seventeen years ago)

My senior year in college my roommates and I did not get along so I pretty much lived on the couch in an 11 person suite of guys I was good friends with. I've lost touch with many of them since but ran into one of them in the elevator at my work last week! It was so weird.

― sloth say hi to me (ENBB), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:47 (seventeen years ago)

I guess you missing dorm rooms made me think of that.

― sloth say hi to me (ENBB), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:48 (seventeen years ago)

wow, i had some bad roommates too

i kept my rooms remarkably free of clutter, my girlfriend at the time thought it was weird

― velko, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:49 (seventeen years ago)

i have this idea that dorm rooms today are totally high-tech and n/l but i'm sure they are the same cramped boxes with shitty furniture, except with wireless internet access

― velko, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 04:25 (seventeen years ago)

Oh man, how did I not realise who this was at the time hahaha awesoms.

― Trayce, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 09:44 (seventeen years ago)

hmmm, co-ed dorm rooms?

After almost six years that pic in the OP is still a live link. One might even suspect Jams is carrying a torch for his much-maligned young lady. Why else retain the photo all these years?
