First kiss
I guess I was 17.

I know I wasn’t old enough to legally be where I was.

And where I was was ‘The Venue’ in New Cross. Waiting patiently to see Thousand Yard Stare.
There’s a dance floor and stage downstairs and a bar with loud indie music and another, smaller dance floor upstairs.

I’m drunker than 17 year old has any right to be, and somehow have found myself sitting at a table with an older, sexy goth woman.

The alcohol is taking away my teenage nerves and I’m feeling pretty smooth.

I slide round the table to be closer to her.
She turns to face me, and I know I’m in like Flynn.

We talk a bit more, move closer and we kiss.
Holy fuck! I’ve pulled! I’m kissing a girl that isn’t someone I’m at school with for the first time ever!

She’s kissing me back!

She’s got a tongue stud and everything!

She’s older than me, she’s so cool and I love her.

Ohmygod she’s put my hand on her breast!
I am going to marry this woman, this is amazing, this is the best thing that has ever happened in the history of everything ever!

Our kiss breaks, I can still taste her, I look into her eyes.

Who is going to be the first to speak?

I don’t know what to say.

But it’s OK, she does. She goes to speak?

What will she say, will she say she wants to do it again? Does she want to be my girlfriend? Oh that would be so cool! What pearls of wisdom are going to drop from those amazing lips that have only just unlocked themselves from mine?

‘Um…do you mind if I ask you something’ she says

No, of course I don’t you can ask me anything, anything at all, I will have no secrets from you oh new found love of my life, what’s mine is yours, we can share thoughts and ideas and…oh I love you so

‘are you gay?’

*crushed*

Was she massive?

^Strange question.
Why did she think you were gay?

I was wondering how he got crushed.

I have always assumed
it was my inept attempts at kissing and groping.

I ran away too quickly to actually ask her though.

Ahhh
Ahhh, the Venue. It's grown for a complete pit of a place, to a semi-pit of a place.

Many a great night had in there.

Sorry you kiss like a gay person though :\

This reminds me of something that happened to a flatmate...
...in that it was the same, but worse.

A (female) friend of a different flatmate was visiting, everyone went out for a night of drinks, and we ended up in Klute (a nightclub in Durham, reputedly named the second worst in Europe by FHM; the first later burnt down). Essentially the night was messy.

Initially mentioned flatmate ended up taking her back to his room. Upon minor flat questioning in the morning it arose that pillow talk did not amount to sweet nothings, but, you guessed it...

If that's not a crushing comment on your performance, I don't know what is.

argh - Klute
yes - many a terrible night there - I only really remember 3 very sticky floors of carpet, awful blue and pink drinks and David Essex playing in the 'Cheese' room.

Help!

I thought that the venue was great when I went there but that was a while ago (Cardiacs supported by The Pointy Birds)looks like it's not really got much going on now apart from tribute acts in the basement. Oh well it was a pain in the arse to get to anyway!
