Just 10 minutes ago, at 8:46pm [rough estimate], I did one thing I always wanted to do since I was young: I finally got my first kiss, with my girlfriend Julia!!
First I woke up from a nap to find Julia and Courtney right outside my front door. They told me they were going to the park, so I was like, I'll go see if I can go too. I could and we all went to this little playground on Stoker. We played, swung, jumped, ran, etc. Then Julia's brother, Robert and Justin came to break up the "party". Then he got distracted by and fence and we made our move to run. We went back to the playground and just hung out there till it got really dark. Then we walked to Courtney's grandma's house. We sat on the back porch and chilled until, that's right, Robert and Justin came back to intrude. I had to leave shortly after and I hugged Julia, said my good-byes, and left. I just kept thinking, "OK, TOMORROW I will get to kiss her, I'll have more of a chance." But, as I was walking to cross the street on Shattuck and Jackson to Winter, she ran after me and said, " I just wanted to give me a proper good-bye without my brother around"...and I knew the time was right. I told her, "Well I wanted to give you this all night." [paraphrasing]...so I leaned in and we kissed right there on the corner of Jackson, Shattuck, and Winter. IT WAS GREAT!! Now I see what the hype was about. She said "finally" and we smiled. But it felt so good I just had to do it a second time. and it was better then the first. Then I went home smiling and laughing in joy. Now I'm writing this...with a huge smile on my face.
I realized that I shouldn't TRY to find the right moment for my first kiss, and force it to happen. Sometimes you just have to wait for the right time to present itself...and it does if you look for it at the right time. I wanted my first to be like all the movie climatic kissing scenes in the middle of some big event, but instead I got what I really wanted...my girlfriend running after me leading to a great kiss on a great night under a street lamp and stars...and an encore performance. Just the two of us alone [all we needed was music]. Not THE MOST romantic spot to have my first kiss, but I wouldn't trade that moment for anything!!
9/27/05...yet another day that will live in infamy for me, of course with the assistance of Julia.
So Long and Good Night Everyone!!
