"Your make-out chap stick is broken."

So my sister bought this chape sticke.... well actually, she bought two. And they go together. The whole idea is that one person puts on one, and the other person puts on the other, and when they kiss something crazy happens and the substances interact to make your lips go wild in a tingly sort of way.

So she told me tonight that I HAD to try it. And I told her I was fine with that... but there was no way I was going to kiss her.

Anyways. After a little brainstorming, I rubbed one type on my top lip, the other on the bottom, and rubbed my lips together.

Nothing happened.

So I washed my lips off and tried again.

I turned to her and told her her make-out chap stick was broken.

And then my lips started to tingle.

And it was really quite incredible actually....

True Blue through and through...

So last night I went up the hill. Just a bit before midnight. And the A was all lit up.... and there were a lot of people there. And I, yes I, kissed a complete and total stranger and became a true aggie.

I fulfilled my goal! And for all you yahoo's out there who don't believe I actually did it, I have documented evidence. Yup. Dora took a picture. And if you desperately need proof I can show it to you later.

Since I know you are all curious, I'll tell you briefly how it went down: I wasn't brave enough to ask someone, so Dora's boyfriend walked up to a kid and pointed me out to him. Turns out he was a freshmen. That's right. A FRESHMAN. But I figured it didn't much matter anyways since I wasn't going to see him ever again, he was fairly good looking, and I figured, 'what the heck -- it'll give the kid a thrill to know he kissed a girl who is graduating.'

And then I stood there and tried to talk to the kid for ten minutes. And at the end of the ten minutes we had a count-down and he kissed me.

Ok. I don't consider myself an expert on kissing by any means, but let's just say I did not enjoy the kiss. Not even one tiny bit. In fact--- I wouldn't even really classify it as a kiss, it was that bad. Luckily it was short and sweet and I never ever have to do it again. In fact, I made a vow that I will NEVER EVER kiss a stranger ever again. My one time is done. And now I'm a true aggie.

Aren't you shocked? I am ;)

I am going to make a ridiculous goal:

to become a true aggie before I graduate.

I'm going to make Dora do it too. Or maybe she'll make me... or maybe we'll just have to make each other.

I expect it'll have to happen on one of those evenings when I happen to be feeling reckless and impulsive.

And I'm going to have to make up my mind firmly to do it otherwise I will probably chicken out. Perhaps if I go on homecoming night I won't have to try to find someone to talk into helping me out before hand. This may be a great plan for me: because while I may have the guts to do it, I don't know if I would have the guts to ask someone else to walk up the hill and do it with me. Hmmm...

Honestly... I mostly just think it'll be one of those things that will be tremendously fun to giggle about later. What are your thoughts on this goal? Worth pursuing?

I will be sure to let you know how it goes down when I work up the guts to actually pull it off ;)

PDA

So, my boyfriend kissed me today. Which in and of itself isn't weird anymore. What was weird was that he did it while his Mom was in the room.

So far Bennett and I haven't been really in on the whole "public displays of affection." Sometimes he puts his arm around my shoulders when we're walking somewhere... but the most public place he's held my hand so far was in sacrament meeting.

So this afternoon when I was hugging him goodbye and he turned his head for a kiss while his Mom was only 4 feet away... it totally took me off guard. She didn't say anything... which is probably a good thing. I would not have known how to respond. I'd like to think that it made her smile.

And then I started to wonder how my own family would react if he did the same thing in front of them. And then I started to wonder if he feels comfortable enough around them to kiss me in front of them.

Maybe I should ask him. That'll an amusing conversation.

Anyways. Any of you reading my blog do not want to hear about me kissing Bennett. So I'm going to pose a question:

What is your opinion of PDA's? Excuse my curiosity. I have my own opinions of course: I think a little is ok, and definitely goes a very long way, so they should be kept minimal. But I don't think they should all be taboo, because there is something nice about knowing that someone special likes you enough to show it to people other than just you. And there is also something nice about knowing two other people (especially if it's your parents or grandparents) care about each other enough to show it. What do you think?
