In the name of love
This guy was telling me of a hot date he once had with some girl: They were driving in his car and came to a stop at the light. In which case, the girl quickly took the oportunity to lean over and kiss him. He said that the kiss was only on the cheek, (close to the corner of his mouth), but he immediately contracted an acute case of the "junior-high" jitters.Of course it's a given that it's only a matter of time before you do something completely retarted, when you get the "junior-high" jitters.
Sure enough, he went on further to say, that subsequently following the blissful kiss his foot slipped off the break and rammed right into the police car infront of him.
I thought to myself, "What an idiot!!?" But I don't know...maybe, deep down inside, I kinda want to do something so completely idiotic, (and I've had my share of idiotic moments), that people just know it was due to an acute case of "junior-high" jitters.
Well, it just so happens that something of this sort did happened to me, while spending thanksgiving with a friend in Houston. On Thanksgiving day (actually, it was already night), we ventured off to Walmart to buy some groceries for a salmon-type meal, because we didn't want the traditional turkey dinner. Promptly leaving the store, for no apparent reason at all, I made eye-contact with what I thought was by far the most angelic face I've ever seen. He had long dirty-blonde locks (I'm a firm believer that if you're a guy with curly hair, you should keep it long), big walnut-eyes, and a rugged type look overall. We must have had an eye-contact lock, or whatever you call it, for at least a solid 20 seconds...for no apparent reason at all.
I'm telling you, it was just like the movies. I'm talking about head-on, absolutely vulnerable, and totally distracted eye-contact. The next thing I knew, I'm seeing bright lights everywhere and background-muffled noises, that were actually screams, telling me to get off the road. I woke up from my "junior-high" daze and looked to my left only to be greeted by a screeching SUV. (I'm sure it looked a lot worse than it actually was, because honestly, how fast could he have been going? It was the Walmart parking-lot for crying out loud!). Apparently, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, and just decided to cross the road with out hesitation or precaution.
Oh, but It was great. To be made a total idiot in that name of what possibly might be love at first sight (If that were only true!), was great. Anyways, that was my drama for the holidays: An angelic face I'll never forget (apart from the gurly-wails in the background).
