      Roller derby, at least that one, was at midnight, so I don’t know if the library would be open that late.
      My school’s library wasn’t.

        Currently, the Wells Library (commonly known as the IU Main Library) closes at 8 PM Sunday thru Thursday, and 5 PM Friday and Saturday. So definitely no. I couldn’t say what their hours were in the past, since I haven’t been there in thirty years.

      I came in a few days late and had to flick back a few pages. Between the waking up scene and Lucy’s blunt honesty with Danny about her sexual intents i actually thought the whole Roller Derby scene was going to turn out to be a dream sequence.

        Roller Derby is a dream, unless you’re trying to figure it out for the first time, and then it’s a nightmare.

    History’s Greatest Monster.

    I can only assume she’s REALLY mad at Walky right now, because Jennifer does not seem the type to cockblock, and it can’t because of Lucy who barely exists to her. Vegas odds on her having that smoothie delivered so she wouldn’t have to abandon her vigil?

      I think the idea of Walky spooge within a 90 meter radius of her bed would send Jennifer into a pyrotechnic frenzy akin to Johnny Storm in a Tilt A Whirl.

      I mean, Jennifer is only at fault if Lucy gave her some kind of advance notice to vacate and she ignored it.

      If Lucy got caught up in the excitement and forgot to warn her roommate, she can’t be mad at anyone but herself if she and Walky came home to find Jennifer settled into bed and about to fall asleep.

          well lucy is shown to be a nice considerate person so i imagine she wouldn’t be upset at jen or attempt to throw her out, or just feeling too awkward/flustered after seeing her at their room and being ok with just walky having a sleepover

      May 15, 2023 at 12:58 pm | #

      I expect Walky said something like, “We shouldn’t, Jennifer is here.” And Lucy went along with that explanation because she prefers any alternative to Walky is reluctant to have sex with her.
      The whole third **** shenanigans, she doesn’t even care about, it’s just less disappointing than her boyfriend doesn’t even kiss her because he doesn’t want to.

      Willis would have to look up the rules to do that.

      Or not, I’m pretty sure he could show the players jousting with vacuum cleaners while wearing cowboy hats, and 99% of us would not be able to tell if what we’re witnessing is accurate roller derby.

        Yeah, Lucy thinks they’re both in love. A lot of Christians won’t have sex unless they think its a forever union type thing, with their mutual love bonding them, and I bet Lucy is one of those. Walky isn’t sure if he loves her. That’s something he needs to figure out before they sleep together.

                  This may actually happen to a few people, but mostly it’s a wild exaggeration if not totally made up. I don’t think a restaurant that actually caused its patrons intense suffering after every meal would stay in business very long. Taco Bell food is okay, but it’s hardly that good.

                  Yeah I had a chart on my blog back in the Aughties, of how many miles a TB value menu bean burrito would fuel me on my bike, seeing as I used 2000 Calories/day just to stay alive and 4500 Calories/day to ride ~100 miles/day. I think it came out something like 4-6 of the value menu bean burritos per hundred miles, it has been about 10 years or so and I can’t remember the exact number.

          I mean… I get people have a different perspective for themselves than they do other people, but Jennifer was willing to have sex with Danny within the day the two met, and his already having developed feelings for Amazi-Girl is one of the only reasons that didn’t happen. She tends to be more of a “roll the dice and figure it out after” kind of gal as a general rule.

      I slept with my first college girlfriend well before we had sex. Technically even before she was my girlfriend. And she wasn’t anywhere near as ready to move to sex as Lucy is.
      Seems like a natural progression to me, but I know some see it differently.

      IIRC, Walky slept with Dorothy before they had sex as well. (And then once with both Dorothy and Joyce.)

    I miss waking up and having someone for early morning cuddling, and complaining about it being too early for us to be awake so we just go back to sleep. We were sharing a twin-sized bed, so our options were holding each other or someone being halfway off the bed.

    That being said, every time we slept in the same bed, by morning the sheets had been pulled off the bed. So I had to put the sheets back on the bed all the time, and try futilely to make them stay on for next time.

    Still, it is a minor complaint and it was worth it.

    I think it’s cute and lovely to hear people fuck. Obviously not talking about your obnoxiously loud neighbours who shag for hours or whatever, but the couple times I’ve been privy to the stifled whimpers of two people trying to be as quiet as possible, i felt privileged and fuzzy.

    I’m starting to think her claims of hornieness are a sham and she’s secretly ace.

      Presumably Jennifer was there when they got back, possibly already in bed. It would have been well after midnight.
      Sock on the door is one thing, throwing your roomie out of bed in the middle of the night is something else.

        If someone asked me politely, gave me enough notice to make plans, and had treated me well enough in the past to make me give two shits about them, I might just cooperate. Anyone attempting to throw me out of my own room in the middle of the night is likely to discover they’re sadly mistaken about who’s throwing whom.

    When we were RAs the biggest roommate problems we had to deal with were people having sex when the roommate was in the room. It was even part of the roommate agreement because what seems insane at the beginning of the year seems ok when you’re actually in a relationship (problems were with people who didn’t fill it out). So good on Lucy for being considerate.

    … oh god I’m having flashbacks to Freshman Year of college, 2 decades ago, where my suite-mate would have hours-long kissing sessions with his girl friend. Through the night. They were LOUD kissers.

    .. Worse, though, was “What do you wanna go do for dinner?” “I don’t know, what do YOU want to do?” “I donät know, what do YOU want to do” back and forth, directly behind me, for, like. 15 minutes at a time.

    (.. I eventually turned around and said “look I don’t care what you do but please decide or go somewhere else” which–.. as nonconfrontational as I normally am, was big for me. XD)

    Honestly if Walky had not pointedly rejected Dorothy very recently, I would saying that he needs to put an end to this farce of a relationship with Lucy. The man is not at all excited to get sexual with her, and we know for a fact he’s allosexual.
    it’s kinda sending mixed messages that he rejected Dorothy for the sake of Lucy, but he treats Lucy like a buddy and not someone he’s hot for.

      I mean, they’ve been dating a week. It can take longer than that for sexual attraction to kick in, and there’s also the possibility that maybe Walky just isn’t ready to have sex with a new partner yet. Just because he jumped Dorothy’s bones ASAP doesn’t mean he’s going to be like that with every partner.

            Idk what you mean about “sTraWmEn”. I’m only guessing at people’s behavior based on how they’ve acted in the past. Dina got called all but a rapist when her and Becky had consensual sex on purpose, and Walky’s already getting shit on for not fucking Lucy within the first fortnight of them going out. And Walky’s a (half-)Black dude, so there’s a cultural idea that his sexuality is almost inherently scummy from the start. Call it something stupid if you feel like you have to, but you’re wrong.

      Regardless of how he feels or doesn’t feel about Lucy, he has agreed that they’re in a relationship. I don’t see any mix in the message ‘I’m not going to cheat on my girlfriend’ since that’s what Lucy is, regardless of whether they’re having sex or not.

          This is kinda creepy, calling it an issue.

          Walky doesn’t like to be introspective, I agree with that idea. But just because you’re dating someone does not mean you’re obligated to have sex.

          It’s dating. Mutually agreeing to hang out and see if you like each other. Mutually agreeing to see if feelings go further. “Going through the motions” of the first week of dating is just… actually getting to know each other? You kind of HAVE to “go through the motions” to see if you actually want to have sex.

          Personally, I can’t see anything wrong with what Walky is doing. He knows Lucy is up for it, and he’s just waiting to see how he feels in the moment. Which is normal. He’s allowed to say no at any time.

            Yeah but he’s a guy, so there’s a lot of worthless baggage attached to his cock and its proximity to the nearest willing orifice. If he puts it in there, he’s a scumbag stringing her along (though he really could be a lot more communicative about that L word misunderstanding), and if he doesn’t it’s “What, aren’t you a man? You’re supposed to be trying to do this 25 hours a day, 8 days a week”.

              Taffy I think you might be attaching some of your own baggage to Walky here or the intentions/meaning of the commentariat. Nobody in this thread has suggested any of these things: that Walky is a scumbag for wanting to have sex, that he’s a scumbag for NOT wanting to have sex, that men should be ready to have sex with any hole at any time for any reason.

              You’re attaching baggage where there isn’t any.

              When I say that Walky is treating Lucy more like a buddy than a girlfriend (i.e. a romantic and sexual partner), I mean just that, and there’s nothing else between the lines. No double entendres, hidden meanings or implications.

            The issue is he’s neglecting to say no, with a joke about “Jesus said 3 dates” being the closest thing. I think he owes it to her (and himself) to say why he’s reluctant or at the very least even say that he wants to take it slow.

              ^This.
              Lucy is ready to jump the gun, Walky is putting it off at every opportunity while covering his excuses with plausible deniability. If he wants to take it slow that’s perfectly fine and healthy, but he needs to communicate to his partner that he’s not as ready as she is.

    Oh dear…

    This might not be the way it turn out…
    but…

    Jennifer lives in the same room as Lucy, Jennifer is dating Asher who is beginning to dress like Walky.

    I have a feeling this could end up in a 3’s Company style situation where one of the partners in one of these couples ends up in bed with one of the other partners in the other couple through misunderstandings.

      Asher and Walky have completely different builds. I also suspect they smell and sound different, and the same all applies to Lucy and Billie. If any one of the four can’t tell the difference between partners, they’re in no fit state to fuck anybody. Also I’m not sure about the specifics in the case of both parties being confused, but it’s way too close to felony territory for (my personal) comfort.

        Ending up in bed can just mean getting in the wrong bed to go back to sleep after using the bathroom. Jennifer and Lucy know their own beds though. Anyways, it’s Asher and Walky who will end up next to each other.

        When Billie ends up with Walky, it will be because she realizes he’s the one for her, not through some misunderstanding.
