1. Who was your first kiss (your mom does not count)?
I was nine, and the guy's name was Scott (also nine). It was really kinda sweet because that was back when I was basically The Weird Kid Everybody Threw Rocks At. I was being picked on at the local park, and that was his way of showing the other kids that I was kinda cool (It was a quick little peck on the lips, but sweet.). Bad news was that the other kids promptly beat him up, and his mom, thinking I'd talked him into getting into a fight, wouldn't let him talk to me anymore (helped that my mom had a 'rep' of her own...). So, sweet, but oh so very short-lived.

2. What is your idea of the perfect date?
Honestly, I try not to have any expectations other than enjoying the other person's company. I figure that's the best way to have fun, and maybe even get opportunities to try something new. 'Course, it's been eight years now since I've been on the market, so, uh...that 'tude COULD get me into trouble these days. *g*

3. What music needs to be on when you are “getting your thang on”?
Usually, music is a distraction at that point if left up to me. I think I got spoiled on lovers who were more interested in getting it on rather than keeping a beat. Still, could be fun if handled with a sense of fun.

4. What is the most amazing experience you’ve ever shared with a partner?
Oddly enough, going outside afterwards and just watching the rest of the night go by.

5. Sex is best saved for: love, marriage, alcohol, days that end in “y”?
Not so much 'saved' as being cautious nowadays (since I learned a few bitter lessons earlier in my life about just going totally spontaneous). Most important is that I tend to tie my emotions to sex. Might not sit well with folks who seperate sex and love, but there it is. It costs me way too much for it to be a frivolous thing to keep on the same level as going out for drinks, or a dinner and a movie with a guy who might be gone in a day, week, or month. Not to mentions things like diseases, accidental pregnancies, etc...



From thefridayfive

1. What's missing from your life?
Sadly, a permanent and stable love relationship.

2. Do you like to get drunk?
All it really does is make me tired and want to sleep, and I get hit with that long before the 'stripping of inhibitions' stage starts up. I'll drink occasionlly, if there's a drink I like the taste of, but I don't drink to get drunk, and if I'm out, I actually tend to avoid drinking at all for the most part.

3. Have you ever kissed a stranger?
Once...and I was terrified. LOL!

4. Do you smoke?
Oh god, GROSS! No. NO way, no how, don't wanna. Don't like the way it makes my eyes red, don't like the way it makes everything SMELL, don't like the health risks involved. Unfortunately, my current mate smokes. A lot. I dispair of my books ever smelling like books again...

5. What makes you happy?
Music, watching anime, playing video games, being able to swim, walk outside, dance like a loon, sing when the mood takes me, writing, drawing, my cats, my family, great conversations with intelligent people, being able to wander a bit when my responsibilties don't demand I be somewhere doing something, laying in a hammock on a cool summer day.
