POST PANTHEON DROOP

Maybe because you were into hook ups before they became the zeitgeist of the 2000's, it's unwise to do a billet doux even resembling Modern Love. But here I go: Kissing scenes still light me up (with gay men not so much) but the flirtation and the anticipation before the kiss always gets my chest pounding. Loosely translated that tells me why I nearly always felt in love with hook ups. Making out always preferred over straight to 69. Now that we're in the days of PPD and I love the one I'm with because she's the only one I love and I'm with her all the time, I'd still rather write about this stuff than act as if romantic love is purely archival now even if the makeout sessions are more prominent in word. It's all relative and like the kids in the classroom that were asked to draw something that explains excitement and when the teacher asked me why I just drew a dot which is never exciting, I told her it was a period and my sister just missed hers and the whole house is upside down with excitement. Modern love.
