Crazy Summer

by Drey on April 2, 1994 in Life with No comments

Cathy and I break up.

I try to kill myself.  An attempt is made to hospitalize me. I avoid this by agreeing to therapy.

I spend a lot of the summer in therapy and on anti-depressants.

I stay on campus during the summer, rooming with Ryan.  We have a mysterious passive-aggressive falling out.  But then we went out to the soccer field and beat each other up with foam SCA swords.  It seemed to help.

I discover the card game Magic: The Gathering.  I promptly become obsessed with it, dragging everyone around me into a sick addiction.  I ended up making about $600 selling premium cards on the Internet. Pre eBay, yo.

Cathy

Start dating Cathy.

I have a premonition that we will get married, but it will end in disaster. I didn’t care.

K

by Drey on January 2, 1994 in Life with No comments

Dave, Ryan and I make the short film, “K.”  It tests the endurance of our friendships.

I start smoking. I discover that I lack whatever genetic switch that makes people addicted to nicotine, alcohol or drugs. I switch my use of such things on and off for years later.

Friends and Lovers

by Drey on August 20, 1993 in Life, Writing with No comments

Begin my junior year at DePauw.  I am rooming with Dave, who will become one of my best friends.  Ryan is the RA.  He also becomes one of my best friends.  We all live in Hogate.  We live in an experiment known as the “Substance-Free Floor.”  Ironically enough, I go on to violate just about every rule.

Upon my return from Fall Break, Dave and Ryan convince me that Dave has decided to pledge a fraternity.  I fall for it, only because I believed that Ryan was unable to lie.

I break up with Kerry.

I meet Beth.

I meet Cathy.

I start creating the Chronicle of the Pages world, later renamed DreamPunk.

I meet Alex Arevalo, the crazy Columbian.

Begin my sophomore year at DePauw.  I had a closet-like dorm room in Hogate.

I meet Ryan Houlette and Dave Glowacki.

Begin my freshman year at DePauw.  I think my roommate’s name was Dan.  I lived in Lucy (a dorm).
