I kissed a girl. And I liked it.

So it finally happened.  After all these years of waiting, and wishing and hoping, on this night it finally happened.  I was able to ring in the new year with a kiss right at midnight.  With that being said, there are both good and bad things about how it happened and the what happened after. This wasn't my first kiss ever, just the first time I've been able to ring in the New Year with a kiss.

Lets start at the beginning.  I went with some friends out to a Night Club because they were having a New Years Cosplay night.  If you don't know what Cosplay is, then we really aren't friends.  Google it. So the jist is costuming.  There. Happy.  You don't have to use your brain to move your fingers to click on the mouse so you can tap into the vast knowledge that is on the information Highway.  Anyway, we had gone out dressed up to a club.  I had met this girl who was dressed as the Baroness from G.I.Joe.  Again if you don't know what it is, look it up.  At first we had hit it off.  We were dancing together and having a fun time.  When Midnight rolled around I had made sure that I was in the vicinity of her, just in case.  Sure enough, when the time hit, we kissed.  I was expecting just a small friendly kiss, but as I pulled away she lingered.  So I went in again.  I can't say it was the magical experience that you see in movies where the two people meet and instantly fall in love and all the joy and happiness of the world is felt in their electrifying kiss.  It wasn't that spectacular.... but it was really nice and enjoyable. She later said that I was a good kisser.  Now I'm not very good at complimenting back, and I really don't have a huge list of girls that I've kissed to compare the kiss to.  I liked it.  That's all I know.

Later in the night I found out that my friend had been making out with the same girl.  The dance hall wasn't very big and I took notice when both of them were missing.  I think she felt a little guilty when she found out that it was my friend.  I'm only a little upset.  After all we weren't dating, she isn't my girl.  Tonight could have led to something.  Not now.  I take a little solace in the fact that I kissed her first and was able to get that grand "midnight kiss".  Before heading home, she did come back and thank me for being the first kiss of the new year.


I look forward to the day when I will spend times like these with someone I truly love.  My one and only.  I love the holiday season and I look forward to the time when I'm with someone I truly care about so that these days are magical.  Getting kissed at Midnight is great.  Kissing the one you love and can't live without is something that words cannot fully express; something that poets and artists have been emulating in their works for centuries.  Someday I wish to have that.  Someday that will be mine to have, to share, to experience.  Someday.

Today I kissed a girl at Midnight.  2015 started with a bang.  I have a good feeling about this year.  This is to be my year.  A year of great things to come.  A Year of looking past the bad, the unfortunate things that have happened, or may yet happen.  A Year of new beginnings.  A year of hope and life.  A year of Me doing great things.  Its like the summer of George in Seinfeld,  The Year of Borg.  I like that.  Today I kissed a girl at Midnight.  That's my takeaway.
