Hilary to Kathy, November 8, 1972, cont. Arlington, VA Saw the P’s (for a wk) and also son Christopher who is 24 and a graduate of Goddard which he loves – he’s a teaching fellow there now. Chris is one of the nicest, most intelligent vivacious “hippies” I’ve ever met so I have renewed faith in that group – You see – now in Arlington ALL the teenyboppers dress like “hippies” – smoke pot, etc. but are the same little hypocrites underneath. Enough to make one throw away one’s jeans!
I don’t know what’s the matter w/me – I’ve had more golden opportunities for “romance” this month that I’ve passed up. 1st – a guy who was a roofer (one who repairs roofs) at W-L, and is going to be a steward for Pan-Am in December – a REAL honey – Approached me at school and my reaction was disgustingly blah. Then – Shauna & Sam (dog) and I sat in on a rugby game near the Lincoln Memorial & got asked to a party for the team at American University (where the team was from). We went, giggled by mistake, were revealed as high schoolers – and were so embarrassed by the disbelief that we left.
Rugby players are GORGEOUS – (I guess actually law students & such, which they were, ARE a LITTLE old….)
Then we went to a garage sale in the neighborhood – the people there – or rather 1 person, nice looking blonde, about 22, asked me if I didn’t have a sister named Bridget. Yes? Well, he went to school with her ever since Woodmont days. Hmm. Nice looking brunette companion asks me if I wouldn’t like to come to their party that night, after the garage sale. Hmm, well, uh gee – I didn’t go. Sob! At least I know where THEY live, heh heh heh!
I guess I just can’t come up with on-the-spot charm – I’m always in shock that any of these types would even look at me.
My (hah) beloved Oscar & friend Larry are whooping it up at U. VA. This year. You remember Oscar’s beloved friend Bob. I had decided to forget him as Oscar really is such a truly good guy that I wouldn’t want to hurt him – Now, Marty tells me that Bob is miserable at A.U. and OSCAR and LARRY have resolved to get us together – Jesus! Do you suppose I’ll have better luck at college???
Poor Alex is in want of anything to do – He quit school AND work. And is sort of planning to take a motorcycle trip SOMEWHERE. Meanwhile he’s wasting his time & his savings. He says that he doesn’t want to go to school anywhere – As usual, who knows?
