How it all began...
Once upon a time in October 2004, there lived a girl named Jesyca who was in a sorority. The sorority decided to host a "sex panel" and invite boys from different backgrounds and colleges to come to the chapter meeting and answer anonymous questions from the girls. There was a "jock," a "nerd" (that wasn't Andrew), a fraternity boy, a Georgia Tech boy, etc. The GT guy was supposed to be Jacob Moon, Andrew's roommate and high school bestie from Savannah. On the fabled night of the panel, Jacob had to meet a group for a school project and had to bail out at the last minute. Jennifer Colson, who knew Jacob from church in Savannah, asked Andrew if he would come instead.
Well, he was an 18-year-old, fresh out of high school young buck, so of course he said yes to hanging out with 60 girls and talking about sex. The Tuesday night chapter meeting went swimmingly and goodtimes and laughs were shared by all in attendance. After the meeting, Jesyca and several sisters were planning to get food at the local dive Mexican restaurant, El Amigo. Andrew was invited to come along to dinner and Jacob joined up at the restaurant. At dinner, hilarious stories were shared, especially by then-student teacher Kelly Braziel, who passed around her 6th grade students' writing assignments to read aloud, which were absolutely hilarious. At the end of the evening, Andrew bought Jesyca a grape jolly rancher lollypop and mentioned the upcoming Thursday night Georgia Tech football game and asked if she'd like to join him. Having never been to a college football game, and being smitten with his devilishly handsome good looks and charm, she agreed.
That Thursday evening, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets played the jerky Virginia Tech Hokies at historic Bobby Dodd Stadium. Multiple adult beverages were consumed by both Andrew and Jesyca before, during and after the memorable game. Unfortunately the Jackets lost that battle on the gridiron, but that didn't stop the parties from happening all over campus. After leaving Andrew and Jacob's dorm room, Jesyca immediately fell down and did a running-man motion on the ground but could not get up without assistance. Luckily for her, Andrew came to the rescue and helped her regain balance, and they stayed arm-in-arm for the rest of the evening.
Other things happened, and the next day the decided to meet up again.
And the day after that.
And the day after that.
And the day after that...
forever.
