L is for Louie.
You'd come from a wedding and promptly ditched your date for me, though I haven't a clue why. The entire time you sat across from me I stared at the television above your head, bringing myself to look at you only to make fun of you and even then only disinterestedly. You were pretentious and affected, putting on airs though I haven't a clue why, and after several drinks I softened somewhat. I joined you for coffee after everyone else departed, for once in my life too polite to refuse. When you dropped me back at the apartment you said something unintelligible and rather than ask you to repeat yourself I agreed dismissively. It was only after you kissed me that the words clicked, and thus began the one relationship I never even wanted.

ReplyDeleteamazingly, no; i never learn from my mistakes. luckily boys don't want to kiss me anymore so it's a-ok.
ReplyDeleteMoral: Always listen closely to what guys named Louie say. Also, don't kiss them.
ReplyDeleteif i ever meet a guy named louie i will laugh and laugh and laugh at him, because louie is a friggin' stupid name.
ReplyDeleteWhen he moves in for a kiss that you're pretty certain will be icky, you simply turn away with a convincing pretend cough. This, in addition to avoiding the kiss, makes you less appealing in general, and can arrest the whole relationship process quite effectively.
ReplyDeleteSo I've been told... I wouldn't actually know.
Also, "Louie" is the name of a cartoon canard, NOT someone to be kissing.
i wouldn't agree to coffee with a louis, let alone tonsil hockey.
ReplyDeleteBah-- I'm sure plenty of boys want to kiss you. All that stands in their way is that S is for Seth.
