Kiss the Girl

       


      What song do you think would be going through a nineteen-year-old kid who is kissing a girl for the first time?  Definitely not Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid right.  For some dumb reason, that's what song popped into my head and it will live in infamy.  First kisses are never like they are in the movies or on tv it's always so overdramatized and comes off as fake.  

        "Life goes on" Episode 36.  So, Carmilla made the ultimate sacrifice for her love she saved everyone despite herself and despite her "Mother" telling her she should just do what's easy and take the easy way out.  Laura showed Carmilla she could be brave and stand up to her mother.  She rescued Laura and showed her she had changed.  The thing is Laura also rescued Carmilla in that she showed her she could be someone who is better be someone who cares be someone who loves.  Carmilla was able to show that to Laura by saving her.  

        Laura now saddened by the loss of her roommate still trying to figure out what had happened is interrupted by Perry followed by Danny who rushes in with Carmilla's body.  She slowly begins to wake up.  Laura almost tackling Carmilla she then stands up giving Carmilla a little space and says hey and Carmilla says hey (OK I'm stepping in.  They totally stole our thing).  Laura then begins to ramble, so excited that her roommate is ok.  Carmilla cares nothing about what Laura is saying.  Ignoring Laura and going straight in for the kiss.  Laura a little surprised embraces, but quickly goes back to rambling and Carmilla kisses her again.  Laura again breaks the kiss this time takes a breath and kisses Carmilla back.  This is actually a realistic first kiss congratulations it comes off as genuine and realistic.     

        There are a few times in the series where L and I switch characters me being Laura and L being Carmilla.  This was definitely one of those moments.  L had been kissed at that point, not a new thing for her I however had not been kissed or kissed anyone up to that point.  Actually, to show how dense and inexperienced I was. A girl broke up with me in high school because I was too scared to kiss her.  So now you see where we're at.  I was inexperienced L was experienced.  So a couple of days post us sleeping together in the same bed (Support, Dance, Sleep on the Floor.) L and I were watching a show on tv laying on a rug on my dorm room floor.  All that day I spent working up the courage to kiss L.  For starters, I was terrified, after I kiss her.  What happens next?  What do I do if she rejects me?  Every doomsday scenario you can think of. 



        I had gotten over all the self-doubt and I'm ready.  I go for it.  I leaned in and all I can hear in my head is "Kiss the girl" and my heart beating out of my chest.  I miss and I missed badly.  I hit the bottom of her nose and the top of her lip.  I quickly tried again this time actually connecting.  After this something unexpected happened.  She kisses me back and quickly starts to make out with me.  I am someone who hates surprises.  There have been two times where my eyes about popped out of my head this time and when the doctor told me I was going to have a son.  So I was definitely Laura in the first kiss. Nowhere near as exciting or dramatic as Laura and Carmilla's first kiss, but I will never forget it probably because I missed and the makeout session that followed.  

        So L and I are doing way better we have again connected and I have shared the show with her I started it slow fearing she would think I'm weird and just crazy as the show picked up she got into it more and more we have just recently finished season one and are about to start season two.  I would love to talk to her about the first season and what she thought. Never in my life did I think a love story like this would inspire me.  I congratulate the writers and cast for making a universally amazing love story.

Not All Keys Click

                     I'm not done with this episode.  Have you ever had a key go into a lock but it doesn't open that door?  A lot of keys fit but they don't always open the right door.  L and I live in a very old house, and we have doors everywhere.  Some with keys some without.  Some of these old keys have been worn down and don't always click into place but they open the door nun the less.  For L and me, this couldn't be more true.  It's the right key.  It's the right lock.  It's the right door, and everything will work but it just doesn't click all the time.    For Luara and Carmilla this is also true.  Maybe even more accurate than L and I.  I bring this up because Laura brings this analogy up in this episode.  I don't practically agree with her statement.  I'm guessing she will learn that not all keys have to click smoothly to open the right d...

The End or the Beginning? (Not everything goes to plan)

            The end or the beginning?  This is the question I thought about after the credits rolled.  The story was over.  Laura and Carmilla got their happy ending.  So why do I feel like this is just the beginning?  Simple they are headed to the greatest adventure in life a long relationship with your soul mate.  Learning to live with someone is quite a challenge.  L and I were at a similar point in our life as well.  So I did find something to relate to at the end of the story.           The first thing I want to do is point out how big of a moment the cocoa was in season one ( The Aha Moment )  Why? Because Laura said it was a big deal. " But we’ve had kisses, and cocoa, and stars,  and dancing.  That’s so much more than nothing." When your facing the end or what you think is the end you tend to reflect on the good things that happened.  Essentially this blog...
