the frog and the tin foil prince
January 15, 2009I will be completely honest with you all, apparently my very first kiss was such a horrible experience that my mind has repressed the majority of it. And I’d rather not drudge up a memory that could possibly make me vomit or cause me to keep a permanent lemon face. Though I’m sure that look is quite attractive.
I will still take part in this post just with a little spin on it. I mean come on! You all know I can’t just write about a kiss. Too straight forward. So instead I’m going to break this up into the worst/best kiss.
Worst:
Believe it or not, my worst kiss was not the first one. As disgusting as that vague memory seems it does not hold a candle to this story.
I couldn’t have been more than 14 years old, and by that time I had enough practice to know what I was doing. Apparently the guy did not. So there we were at our school dance (a collective “aww” is in order if you remember those things) and I was so excited because I’d been crushing on him for a long time (a.k.a. maybe two months, you know how time is different then from now) and he had asked me to the dance! I was certain that meant he was into me which is always a great feeling. The end of the dance came and as we were leaving he leaned to kiss me and I obliged, only he missed and started kissing the space between my nose and my top lip. After half of a second I tried to tell him he had missed his mark, but as the words came out of my mouth he basically mimicked a frog and flung his tongue out of his mouth and licked/stuck his tongue up my nose. It was incredibly gross. He finally realized his error and went for my mouth again. And I thought he was going to eat my face! Way too eager. I found out years later that was actually his first kiss, and he had no clue what to do. We laugh about it now but the thought is still pretty disgusting.
Best: (So, I’ve found that it’s difficult to write about happy things when you’ve been having a week from hell…I apologize if this isn’t all mushy and crap
)
I honestly have a few that would be considered the “best” ever. But my favorite thus far is actually the first time my boyfriend kissed me.
We had been “seeing” one another for a few weeks and I was really confused why he hadn’t even tried to kiss me yet. Granted we have known each other for years and we were not sure if we wanted to move past that ‘just friends’ stage or not. It was extremely frustrating. One night we were sitting on my couch watching Christmas movies, after deciding to watch The Grinch (Jim Carrey’s…yay!) he had turned to make fun of something on the movie and we were inches from one another. And I think he was going in for the kiss but I busted out laughing, right in his face. Super embarrassing but totally something I do regularly when I get nervous. (he has since learned this) After a few minutes I wasn’t exactly sure what to do. Obviously my attention was not with the little green fellow on the screen. And I’m not completely certain what I did to get his attention but it was a mutual kiss, neither one of us started it really. And it was great.
I’m not sure I breathed for awhile. Hehe, nothing more romantic than “You’re a mean one” playing in the background. That movie will never be the same and definitely sets that kiss apart, and will stand out in my mind for a very long time.
So now that I’ve completely embarrassed myself by telling too personal details of my life. Make sure you do too.
Much Love,
K
Song of the Day: You all should see this one coming…

A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks
Heehee. LOVE it! Making out to the Grinch!
Why such a bad week dude? Want to hang out tonight? I make everything better!
I was a late bloomer – I didn’t get my first real kiss until I was 20 years old lol. It wasn’t terrible, as far ask kisses go, it was enjoyable. But my best kisses have always been with boyfriends, men that grew to mean something to me over the long run.
Hahah I totally would laugh in someone’s face when they were trying to kiss me too lol
At least I didn’t try to kiss you during the laughter. That would have been REALLY awkward…
My first “real” kiss (as opposed to the little pecks I may or may not have had with my middle school boyfriends) was TERRIBLE. The guy was an AWFUL kisser. What makes it even worse? He’d dated one of my friends a few months before we started dating, and when I complained to her about it, she just started laughing and said, “I wasn’t sure if I should warn you or not… But isn’t he truly terrible?!?!” Needless to say, it wasn’t a long relationship. But even better? A few months later, he dated another friend of mine. And we DID warn her in advance. And when they first kissed, she came back and said, “I know you guys warned me, but I thought you were exaggerating. But you weren’t!” HA!!!
That first story had me ROLLING on the floor. Too funny!
