Sex is sex and that's what it is, but kissing...
I'm a sucker for kisses - on screen, as a voyeur in public places (though eventually I always want to say "get a room"), in books, but especially the kisses I've given and received. I don't give those kisses as lightly as I used to - I've come to realize that every kiss has meaning at least at the moment it's given.
First kisses are generally the best ones. I may not remember a few of the names, but I do remember every first kiss I've had, from sloppy tongue down the throat to the nearly chaste. My very first first kiss was pretty bad, I even knew it at the time. If you know yourself you know instinctively what you like, I did not like that kiss even though I liked the boy.
I've learned to trust the instinct, there are just some men I will not kiss again.
I can tell you how my guy and some girl friends have kissed me on New Year's Eves. It's nice to give the kisses like that to friends. Those hard lipped, no saliva tokens of friendship and love. When I lived in Austria I really enjoyed the kisses on the cheeks in greeting and farewell.
The other day The Salt Lake Tribune had an article that said the average woman kisses 79 men before she marries. I guess I'm just more picky and/or date less than the average woman. Time to get smooching.
Until two weekends ago I thought I'd given up on kissing boys in bars. I only get in trouble that way, and this one may be trouble, too. I want to find out. It's a nice first kiss when the one you kiss smiles and lights up the room.

Valentine's Day crosspost slightly altered
Valentine's Day. Schmalentine's Day. I don't remember the last time I had a Valentine's Day date (so if anyone can tell a story of a good Valentine's Day date, I'd love to hear it) and even more than usual this year it doesn't matter.
This year, today, February 14, 2008, pitchers and catchers start reporting for Spring Training!
Despite about 8 inches of snow yesterday afternoon and last night (you wouldn't have know this morning that I shoveled at midnight) spring is in the air.
As always, I don't predict but hope for a Tigers/Brewers 7 game World Series.
I promise to get back to the other few Sundance Films I managed to see this year, but for now it seems to be all grad school all the time.
