Line 30:
At either Buxton or at school before then, he asked a girl out to a school dance and she rejected him for "Mr Campus Hot Stuff". In attempt to "show her", he went on his own; the very concept of school dances sets him off. ("[[Daria Dance Party]]")
Afterwards, Jake enrolled at [[Middleton College]] thanks to funding from his family, thus not being shipped off to the [[Vietnam War]] ("[[The Daria Diaries]]")
At college, he joined the hippie counter-culture and met his future wife [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] there; the counter-culture was a calming influence to the seething cauldron of repressed rage and hatred for the world around him and for his father, and he became an extremely cheery optimist with a firm belief in the counter-culture's ideals and rejecting the modern world. He also attended [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Free_Concert Altamont Free Concert] and somehow ''got his money back'' despite Altamont being free ("[[Road Worrier]]").
The two moved into a commune after their graduation in 1972, and in 1975 they got married. ("Diaries" and "[[The Daria Database]]") His father died shortly thereafter.
