When I was 16, maybe 17, some friends and I went to the video store one day. I saw a cute worker-bee there. I liked him because he was attractive, of course, but the kicker was that his nametag said, "Noel". I thought that was very cool. I thought it was pronounced "no-ell". Later, I found out it was actually, "noll". I should have realized at that point, that things aren't often what they seem...especially filtered through a 16 year old girl's eyes.

My friends and I were stupid and giggly in the video store. When we got back to my house, I gathered up the nerve to call the video store and ask NOLL out on a date. He said yes.

We went to see a movie. I don't remember the movie. All I remember is that his car made so much noise that he turned up the stereo REALLY loud so as not to hear it. This made conversation difficult at best.

I used to sneak out. I told him this. He picked me up at the church parking lot a few houses down from mine at about midnight or one. We went back to his house and watched, get this, Dead Ringers. He was a smooth one, that NOLL. We made out and that was about it...oh, and I discovered he was a big pothead...which explained...a lot. He drove me home a little later than I planned and I almost got caught.

I saw NOLL one other time when I went over to his house during the day. We sat on the couch and talked a little, then we started making out. He then proceeded to slip his hand down my pants and insert his clumsy finger.
Yes...GOODBYE Noll!

why the hell does LJ cut off the last character all of the time? I always have to add an extra one.
