Ever had one of those days where everything went your way? Where you were on top of the world? It seemed like for 24 hours, your guardian angel was the cream of the crop? And then it his 12:01, the next day, and his/her shift was over?
On Friday, I had a truly extraordinary day. I got figured out A LOT regarding perl, Makefile and installing libraries on my UNIX system at work, without having root access. Go me. :) Then, I got a call from a girl who asked me out! Woah! Don’t get much better, than that, right? Well, I then went to play disc golf with my best friend Lee and then I sank an 85 foot putt! (Quite an amazing feat, I will say.) After celebrating at one of our favorite restaurants, Chipotle, we went to CD Warehouse and I bought music from a band I’ve been wanting for a long time. Oingo Boingo. And on the way home, a really great girl who I think is the total bomb, called and wanted to hang out. I did the Snoopy Dance of Joy as soon as I got off of the phone with her.
When she came over we chatted, and watched “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back“. Kevin Smith is one hell of a director, and we both enjoyed the movie. A woman who can hang with Jay and Silent Bob says a lot to me. Anyway, the universe was at my every command. Muhahahaha!
And as far as I can figure, at 12:01, all of that changed. What happened is that I licked her. Now before your mind goes south with that, I want you to know that it was just on the cheek. It is what I call a Snoopy Kiss. Remember how Snoopy would lick Lucy and then she would go around screaming, “Dog Germs! I’ve been touched by Dog Lips!” Well, she didn’t run around like Lucy did, but at that point, the evening was over. Nor have I heard back from her. Lesson learned.
So, boys and girls, what’s the moral of the story? For the Love of God, don’t Snoopy Kiss someone until you’ve reached “that point” in the relationship. Even then…wait a few months. Commit that to memory.
Here’s Lee’s account of the event:
