THE KISS QUIZ

the kiss list:
(voluntary makeouts only...
TOTALLY edited version)
1. t.r.
2. peter
3. zach
4. john
5. erich
6. ryan

most memorable kiss: the first time i kissed zach because i think we
were both ridiculously nervous...and because i had to kiss him first!

best kiss: ryan. definately ryan.

most interesting kiss: when john first kissed me because we were just
like standing around in my living room and he was all "i have to prove
im not just an internet kid" or something and grabbed me and kissed me.

first kiss: t.r. in the basement of sarah long's house.

worst kiss: definately t.r.

most passionate kiss: ryan but its definately just drunken lust : /

most regrettable kiss: tons but none out of the people listed above.

last kiss: erich a few days ago. though that totally makes it sound
like erich is my boyfriend and that is totally not the case!

who would you kiss again?: kisses dont really mean anything so i would
say i would kiss them all again, except for t.r. just because i still care
about all of them a lot...but not like, romantically or whatever.

i really just want to get away from boston right now.

too bad i just signed up for classes this afternoon.
i am now enrolled in one academic art history class.
as well as a few classes i didnt even want to take.
one of which involves public art and working with
"urban youth ages fourteen to nineteen" and making
ceramic tiles for a project in dorchester...WHAT!!
hopefully ill be able to fix this during add/drop.

ps if im mean to you it doesnt mean i hate you.

tonight i went to see cursive.
it was a lot more fun than i had expected.
maybe its because im negative about everything these days.
ive been pretty bummed since ive been back.
dont ask why cause i dont know.

ps my cell phone sort of stopped working.
if you call and it says my number doesnt
exist anymore, you should just try again.

or something.

(certainly not before debating it the entire day)
it was matty davis' birthday and he had a show
