Damn, it was cold this morning! I almost put on the scarf pierceheart made me before leaving, decided against it, and then wished I hadn't. Brrr.

Had a very lovely evening with cloakedrose which included Cthulhu-in-a-hot-tub. This is amusing to me, as my other night out this week consisted of Laura-in-a-hot-tub. :)

So...five positive things:

1. Shabu-shabu
2. First kisses
3. Partners on the path
4. Lamb (no, I haven't had it recently, but damn it's tasty!)
5. The beginning of my subsidized T pass program at work for November!

i am quite busy this week. Tomorrow night is going to be low-key fun with cutieyum at my place (no, nothing you'd want a camera for!) and Saturday will be full of pumpkin carving and party. I think Sunday will be a quiet me-day. I shall run errands and get some spiritual time in there. Then I shall cook a nice dinner for pierceheart when he comes home from the field. Maybe with lamb. And now, now I work.

First kisses

You just made me sigh terribly. One of the things I miss being in a long term relationship is the first kisses. The heart pounding decision of whether or not it is time... Leaning in and noticing with a thrill that she's leaning in too. The first touch, it's warm wetness and the first taste. The goosebumps running up your back as for a moment, two become one as the world stops and smiles upon you.

True, there's always something very special about a first kiss. But if you ask me, there's something even more special about the subsequent kisses. Because they mean the first kiss wasn't the last. :)

Certainly.

But the fire and the fear and the excitement of the first kiss is something that only happens a few times in a relationship. That doesn't mean you can't have mind-blowing kisses, it's just that the flavor of the kiss is entirely different.

True.

And this is what causes some people to turn into NRE addicts, and find the next great thing before they leave the current good thing.

Then that great thing is a good thing, and the cycle continues.

I find my biggest difficulty, yet most important key, is keeping things interesting, and creating opportunities for A magical feeling (akin to, but not the same as, first kiss) to arise in an ongoing relationship.

I am lucky, though, that I have recognised this, and see it as a challenge, not an unsurmountable problem.

And that first kiss? Oh yes, there are wonderous joys from it, that, when they are passed, create a sense of longing and searching for the same again, and even an envy of others who are undergoing it.
But that doesn't have to be a problem.

And the kisses, while different, don't get boring. ;)

This, also, is true!

[brontosproximo.livejournal.com]

Never implied that at all. Just saying it was something I missed, not something I needed to change my lifestyle to pursue. I also miss being able to play on the slides at the playground but I'm not about to... oh wait, I still do that all the time.

Another key

to those in-between times is learning to enjoy the simpler, familiar things.

G and I have been together for 10 years now, but I don't think either of us is bored, nor settling, nor afraid of new things.

There's a contentment that settles in in a long term relationship.

But I'm sure you know all this.

Blessings.

Busy and happy are good!

I'm glad you're having a nice Samhain Week. :) Enjoy!

Blessed Samahin!

Here's something you should try - try kissing someone with an Elvis lip. Twist it into that strange shape, but exaggerate it big time, then demand the other person kiss you like that.
