Hazy, in a good way
Last night, I was absolutely craving a new experience. I had plans to go to a party with BFE and Joe, but circumstances worked against us and we decided to go the Tin Hat instead. It was, hands down, the slowest night I’ve ever seen at the Hat, so when I noticed a cute boy tying his dog to the railing outside, I jumped for joy. When he walked in, I realized how parched I was and how dry my and BFE’s glasses were, so I went up for new drinks. I stood next to him as he ordered his beer and said, “Cute dog.” He said thanks, but that I shouldn’t attempt to pet him. This, of course, was the best conversation starter quite possibly ever.
One thing leads to another and pretty soon, we are bonding over beers at the tables outside so we can spend time with above-mentioned dog, BFE and Joe decide to leave, Cute Boy and I decide to go drink somewhere else, and before the night is over, we are at Gas Works Park having one of the best makeout sessions I’ve ever had. I had kind of forgotten how awesome it is to JUST make out. I didn’t want it to go past that, so I knew it wouldn’t, and that made the kissing part so much better.
Since my mom reads this page, I won’t go into much more detail. But I’m so wrapped up now in how a good kiss can remind you of all the other good first kisses you’ve had. I wasn’t thinking of any exes or hookups while I was kissing Cute Boy, but the morning after, I’m all atwitter with really sweet memories of boys I’ve liked enough to swap spit with.
And, just in case you were wondering, the sprinklers at Gas Works come on at 1 a.m.

never EVER underestimate the magical power of a good makeout session — i think they get even more enjoyable with age. i’m not dissin’ all the other good stuff that typically comes AFTER a good makeout session when you’re an “adult,” but really, the guy that is content with a good long innocent makeout session with me every so often earns an extra chalk mark on my blackboard.
especially if it’s in his car late at night after he’s had his ass kicked by me playing ms pac man.
