Since I talked about my first girlfriend last post I shall continue on. Now technically I didn't have another one until my junior year of high school. And to be really technical I went on dates from my junior year on but didn't have a girlfriend till my freshman year in college. But I did have many a crush. There was Shayna, Carmela, Laura, Sky, and some others. I always liked blonds, redheads, class beauties and generally any girl that was nice to me. The problem was I was so nerdy and insecure I never got a chance. I was the classic nerd who loves cheerleaders. Led on by all those feminine ways, yet too shy to do anything. You ever think if you could go back in time you would go back and slap yourself in the face and say,"what're you doing?" Eh, I had fun anyways despite my lack of fortitude. My freshman year there was an incident at a band dance when the band went out of town. Apparently there was this good looking girl that my band-mates got to dance with me. I basically said ok. They watched me and told me to put my hands on her lower back as a bet. I of course did that. After the dance was over they all said to me how her dad was chief of police and he was gonna get me and how she was in 7th grade. It was weird. I then proceeded to walk slowly towards the band bus... I didn't even know the girl. Nothing happened and time moves on... At the end of my freshman year I met this girl at Six Flags who lived in Oklahoma. It was a group dating kinda thing. I think her name is Krystal. I don't really remember getting a kiss, but we held hands and she would scream out "contractions" on the roller coasters together. We wrote each other love letters for a little while. Then it seemed kinda stupid so I stopped. My sophomore year I did have my first kiss. That was with Peetey's attraction, Kristin, on my birthday. It was a pity kiss and she had been drinking so it tasted like beer. My sophomore or junior year I did go to a couple of dances with girls like Krystal and Kristina. Krystal was an interesting girl. The problem with her was she liked to talk on the phone a lot. I seem to remember really trying to hang up but she wouldn't give me the opportunity. Finally after a couple of dates I said, this just isn't working out. The problem with dances was my reputation preceded me and I would still hear the old chant of "go Bass go, go Bass go" as I got on the dance floor. I think it embarrassed my dates. I then had to explain to everyone that I wasn't Bassdancing anymore. Kristina was my junior year crush. I went to the prom with her. Unfortunately it was a "as friends" kinda thing. I was her second or third choice as all her other dates fell through. Mary was my senior year prom date. I think I mentioned her in a previous post. How we had too much in common and she said I was like a brother and then proceeded to go out with Peetey afterwords. And that is my dating experiences in high school. Looking back I can see that I was an idiot and had no reason at all to be insecure. But I did have good times with my friends, and that is what high school is really all about.

Thought of the Day
"The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend?"
"I didn't know what the coma etiquette was."
"There is no coma etiquette. See, that's the beauty of the coma, man. It doesn't matter what you do around it."
"So you're saying his girl, his car, his clothes, it's all up for grabs. You can just loot the coma victim."
"I give them twenty-four hours to get out of it. If they can't get out of it by twenty-four hours, it's a land rush."
