70 - Ever kissed a stranger?

I've done this quite a few times in my life, and by golly, it's weird, exciting and nerve-racking all at the same time. It's even more distressing when it's in public, when you're not actually single (tsk tsk), when it's a member of the same sex, when you have to go to school the next day and face that person, when your mother sees you doing this, when you didn't actually know the person you were kissing wasn't that good-looking...

That didn't all happen last Friday night, but you get the picture - you can regret a spontaneous make-out session with a stranger. And I'm feeling that regret right now. I mean, when I woke up on Saturday morning, I could not believe what I had done.

Ah, well. It's all sorts of horrible now, but I'll be laughing about it soon enough.
But for now, in my mind, I'm thinking... really, truly, SERIOUSLY, I'm not going to drink for a while, not until the 20th or so of May, when my examinations have passed. I do not need to be getting drunk and doing crazy stuff at this point.

Kissing a stranger... what were you thinking, Mike?...

Gosh...that must have been quite suicidal for us Filipinos. Hahaha! So, was the person a he or a she? I hope it wasn't too hard for you, hehehe! ^^,

Oh, the joy of youth. I'm sure they weren't that bad. Unless it beer goggles.

But maybe keep the snogging until after the exams. Then think of all the inappropriate celebrating you can do :)

I kissed a stranger when I was 16 in front of my brothers, most of their friends and a couple of our neighbors. I was more embarrassed than they were...but, dang, it was fun!

Was it your idea or the stranger's idea?

Hmmm if I got a penny for every stranger I've regretted kissing I'd be rich by now. (That doesn't make me look too good now does it....)

But you're young, live a little. Don't have any regrets, they only make you miserable.

Oh and I'm thinking if I take you out to Soho when you come over you might be kissing some strangers so might have to be careful with where I take you! ;)

I'm waiting for the link to the video. Come on now, don't be stingy! ;D

Louise: Why is it suicidal? You scare me, is there something about traditional Filipino rules that I don't know about?

Madame DeFarge: I think it was rather foolish of me, exams impending or not. I will try not to do it again.

J.J.: And your brothers didn't stop you?

Rosalie: It was the other person's idea.

Douglas and AV: Must be a youth thing.

Vivienne: I don't always do this. Hehe. You, on the other hand... that sure didn't make you sound too good, indeed. :P

Wendy: There is no video. I think. I hope.
