I Want to Tell You SO MUCH About How My New Boyfriend and I Formed a Band!
OH MY GOD, I want to tell you SO MUCH about how my new boyfriend and I formed a band!
I AM SO EXCITED! It was around dusk yesterday and my new boyfriend was putting on his toque (even though it’s 95 degrees out) and getting ready to head down to the edge of the woods. “Do you have a lot of ideas flowing?” I asked.
He sat down on the bed.
“You know, Ash, not really. I mean, the boys are kind of disappointing me and all. We haven’t had any good ideas in, like, an epoch.”
“What do you think the problem is?”
He thought about it awhile. OH MY GOD, he looks SO CUTE when he’s pensive. We are SO in love.
“I think I need to hear some new ideas, Ash, you know, like, from somebody totally different than the guys by the edge of the woods.”
“Well…I have some ideas. I have, like, a keyboard in the basement.” OH MY GOD, I was SO nervous.
He smiled at me. His smile is AMAZING. I started to kind of shake a little and I ended up spilling one of those huge plastic barrels of pretzels all over the bed. I started sweeping it up.
“Leave it, Ash. Mrs. Love will clean it up.” (Mrs. Love is our island maid). “Let’s go down to the basement.”
Anyway, my new boyfriend got out his guitar and I got on the keyboard and RIGHT AWAY we started making really AMAZING music. I almost DIED. Seriously.
“Wow, Ash,” my new boyfriend said. “That last cut was like…I don’t know…like the music our hearts would make when they’re, like, smooshed together.”
“I know!” I said. I almost DIED. Seriously.
Anyway, we played for like two hours until Dad came home from the mortuary and asked us to be quiet.
Later, we were standing out by my new boyfriend’s Mom’s station wagon. And he gave me the most beautiful kiss. I had never wanted his lips more.
“Maybe we should call the band “The Kiss”, Ash,” he suggested.
“AWWW,” I said. “That is so…”
But I never finished. He kissed me again and it COMPLETELY took away my breath.
WE ARE SO IN LOVE.
I Want to Tell You So Much More About My New Boyfriend
I’ve just got so much more to tell you about my new boyfriend.![]()
Yesterday, we walked down to the poster festival at the big tent. “I gotta’ get new some joint for my wall, Ash,” he said. He thought the stuff he had up there was getting a little childish but I thought it was really, really cute. Like the two kittens on top of a gigantic ball of yarn with the caption that says KEEP HANGING ON BECAUSE WE’RE KITTENS AND WE DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
“Nah, it’s kid’s stuff,” he said, again. Then, he ripped it straight off the wall. I put my hands up to my face in horror but then he turned his ballcap backwards and gave me the biggest kiss. “Wish I could put you up there,” he said. I think he meant it as a compliment even though, at first, I thought it was just a tad creepy. He’s so cute though, I know he likes me.
We got some hot chocolates on the way. My new boyfriend told the lady to put some extra whipped cream on mine. I JUST ABOUT DIED. Then, we went into the poster tent. They had everything in there and my new boyfriend and I just spent hours looking, holding hands, talking about EVERYTHING. I got a really beautiful poster that had a lion and a dolphin on it and my new boyfriend got one that had three really nice painted skateboards that he liked and another that advertised some kind of beer.
On the way home, my new boyfriend asked if I wanted to stop in the cemetery. We walked along the rows of graves looking at the different old-time names. “These people, Ash, they, like, lived and died,” he said. I couldn’t believe he said that!
We just have so much in common.
