After a very satisfying New Year’s kiss (okay, continuing series of kisses), I offer you budding lovers the following advice:
STOP PLAYING IT COOL!!!
Yes, it is good to scout things out, be mellow, get to know a person better, consider obstacles, etc., etc. However. There comes a time when you must be ready. Ready to be rejected, ready to look like an asshole, ready for awkwardness, ready to endure teasing from friends, ready to embrace uncertainties. There comes a time for risk, a time for confession. Friends, after a many monthed preamble, my time came. I will not linger over details here, but I will say that I STOPPED PLAYING IT COOL, and reaped great rewards. Very rewarding rewards. Oh my.
My crush is no longer my crush, but a different something now, and it is very nice. He is currently mulling over a pseudonym, though his identity is probably obvious to even the most casual reader. However, pseudonyms are fun. He has requested a ship name to be printed in all-caps. A sample entry might read: “I had the nicest real date with THE DAWN TREADER last night! We went to see Jaws at the drive-in! Boy, THE DAWN TREADER sure loves shark movies!!”
So that is it. STOP PLAYING IT COOL. And then report the rewards (/consequences).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 2006. It got off to a hell of a start.
