On the Subject of Love

I could have sworn there was a Fall Out Boy song with the words "on the subject of" in it, and I was planning on quoting it to you, alas, I could not find it. Oh well. I might have confused Fall Out Boy with another similar-sounding band. All I have to go on is the broken record of "on the subject of" going over and over and over in my head. Usually that helps, you know, usually it makes me think of the next few words, or from the tune I can pluck out the rest of the song, or even just recognize the voice playing in my head, but not this time. This time my memory is failing me. Although I'm pretty sure it was Fall Out Boy. Oh well.

And, with that, I'll move on to the actual topic of this week's blog.

Someone told me yesterday I needed to write a new blog entry (probably because I'm so addicting and they couldn't get enough, I'm sure =D), so I thought the whole way home from work about what I could write on. I thought about singers and what makes someone a good singer (my sister seems to think I know everything about it, seeing as how she is constantly asking me if she's a good singer, and seems to take it to heart whenever I give her advice), I thought about memory, and how I can remember stupid things, things I should forget, like every single thing the guy I sort-of like, sort-of have gotten over has said to me, but I can't remember something as crucial as telling work I need to take a few weeks off in the beginning/middle of July. Yeah. Things like that.

And then, I came home and watched a couple of shows (American Idol and Glee, the former: it's all gone downhill since the first and second seasons, the latter: amazing! except when they did "Friday"...) and had a little dinner (or a lot, you know, depending on how you look at it [can you tell I really like parentheses? maybe because they allow me to digress without having to form a full sentence or bring the topic around to it]) and finally went to my room to get ready for bed/watch a little something on Netflix. My sister called me into the hallway to show me an adorable video about these little kids' first kiss. It was really cute; I'm sure you've seen it, apparently it's "gone viral." Anyway, as a reader, I couldn't help noticing the description of the video. It was a question: "Do you remember how you felt when you had your first kiss?"


Well, I don't. And I'm honestly not trying to get attention, like, "What??" I just felt like this was something that would fall under the category of "things to discuss when discussing life." And, according to the description of my blog, that is what I'm doing.

I'm losing my nerve.

Maybe I won't tell you after all.

Do you remember how you felt when you had your first kiss? Without any graphic details, tell me about it! I love stories like that, the romance and sweetness of it. I dream up first kisses all the time. It's nice. So share.

  1. Can't remember what you've never had. *le shrug*

  2. Dear Ms. Shenanigans,

    Just for information, the videos play, but the sound does not. Which, for the first video is not such a big deal. We can “get” the gist of what’s going on. The second two videos are sort of flat without sound. Just so you know.

    So first kiss, hmm? Well, I was in 3rd grade (and it just occurred to me that I did have a “boyfriend” in 1st grade [whose name I do remember, but won’t divulge—and note when there are parens within parens the inner use of brackets] but I do not ever remember “kissing” him—perhaps the concept had not yet settled into my 6-year-old brain?) and I had to ride the bus to school. It picked us up at the front of our large trailer park (this was the very early ‘60’s and no parent ever thought to walk the 4, 8, 10 streets up there with us). We were just a dozen unsupervised kids from about 1st through 6th grade. One day another kid, maybe a 4th grader(?) decides he’s going to kiss me. I remember his name also, but… So he does. No romance, no feelings, just check this life experience off the list—git ‘er done and move on. I can honestly say it was not the highlight of my grade school years—but it must have made some sort of impression, since I remember it over 40 years later… maybe a negative one?

    Nevertheless, I certainly remember my first kiss with my present Beloved…but perhaps this is too public a venue to discuss an event I waited 4 months from our first date to receive. So that tells you that we were not rushing anything. But I digress. You only asked for our first EVER kiss.

    So I leave you with that little non-event that has lingered in my mind that also remembers all those details that other people wish I would forget. But God has not made our minds to be forgetful. Sometimes, as one Memory Guy says, we don’t remember what shelf we stored the memory on, but it’s there, and after we hum the tune a few times, we find it and can remember it. So keep on remembering.

    Have a delightful evening, Ms. Shenanigans,

    Dr TC

  3. Well, that sounds like a letdown. I'm sorry. And I am glad you decided not to share the particulars of that other first kiss... And you know why! =D Although I'm sure it's a very sweet story, as he is a very sweet guy. That is awesome, though (maybe not so much for you, though...), that you waited four months! I only wish I could the kind of guy who would wait that long for something I'm sure he wanted from the beginning. Ish. I'm afraid there aren't any more... Guys like that, I mean. I guess I'm kind of old fashioned, but I want something that doesn't need to be physical. It's good enough as an emotional relationship. Not that I don't want that other part, just not yet. I feel like I'm on the precipice of turning my comment into something uncomfortable, so I'll stop here.

    Except, Tigoris, have hope! It'll come eventually.

    Right?

    I am very sorry the sound doesn't work. I'll have to work that out. The song is awesome.

  4. Well, I'm very sorry. It seems Blogger took my post down and deleted the comments. But at least I'd read them first! If there was a comment someone posted after I replied last night, please repost it. I'd love to read it!

  5. Dear Ms. Shenanigans,

    It has deleted more than the posts from this post. It deleted comments from your Aesthetic Perfection post also, to which I had replied.

    Sigh.

    Have a lovely evening,
    Dr TC

  6. Shoot. And here I thought no one liked my story. But, maybe I shouldn't assume you liked it... Anyway.

    You as well!
