There was a period of time last year where instead of talking to anyone, I would write. I read over some of last year's thoughts today and I think I was actually writing ideas for future writing. Here is one of them. It's a conversation between two people.
-I've never really had anyone I could casually kiss. Someone who, whenever you saw them, before you say anything to each other you know you can just go up to them and give them a kiss. Kissing someone for me has always been something I really have to work for, some big event. Something to be nervous about. I suppose that is part of the thrill, but I think id really like having someone who I can kiss hello.
-Well that's cute. But let someone in the know tell you that that is not the ideal. Really it's just like you said, the feeling of sensation right before you kiss someone, that moment of resonance, the thrilling instant between when you make the decision to lean in and kiss someone and when your lips actually touch. That is what it is all about. A hello kiss doesn't have that. In fact, hello kisses can be damn gross because its not like you are thinking about sex, all you are really doing is saying hello and there’s not always something special about that. And when you do kiss them its not wet so all you experience is the scraping together of two peoples' lip crust.
-Well that sounds pretty good to me. Every day I wake up hoping to find a person willing to share lip crust.
Roommate Sitch Update:
I have done absolutely nothing about having a criminal as a roommate. He is rarely here and he has only slept here once in over two weeks. He has really cool Jason Kidd shoes. He is part of what I have decided is the Korean frat, where American gestures of brotherhood are put to shame. He parties on Monday nights and skips Tuesday classes as a matter of principle. Once he patted me on the back while he was leaving, just like a good friend would. And yesterday I popped my head up to say hi in the middle of a nap, which made him laugh.
My Christmas list mentions tweed at the top.
Yo man! Koreans are weirdos. Chinks is where it's at. And maybe you secretly want him to be your roommate because it is pretty much the same as your previous arrangement but with human contact. And you woke up for him. Does he look like J. Kidd?

See, I think it would be great if instead of kissing hello and goodbye, they licked assholes hello and goodbye. This would ensure trust and not idle kissing.

what is tweed that you want?
i know a korean, but he's nothing like your korean friend.

Also, I agree with Shaffers statements and the fact that your roommate is crazy, moreso then Hoppes. I usually skip classes on monday if I skip at all that week.

Posted by: geneva at November 20, 2005 1:24 PMYou should kinda feel cool to have a criminal roomie. if he isnt there that much, then its almost like before except now you can say that you have a criminal roomie!
