I thought I'd share what happened a few minutes ago.
I was on the phone with Gerard and somehow the conversation came up of how we first knew we liked each other (in a friendship way).
I remember enjoying his company from the first moment I met him. He was funny, outgoing and he was pushy when it came to be my friend. He looked for me and invited me to group parties.
What I didn't know was the reason he did all this was due to a comment I'd made a couple weeks after we first met during first semester of college.
During first semester I had a small part time job as a secondary writer coming up with phrases for special occacion cards. (The company I worked for was like a Mexican Hallmark.) Gerry overheard me talking with a friend about a recent phrase I'd come up with and it was a huge hit.
"Oh Romeo baby, you're so hot that if my lips were chocolate they would melt with your kiss."
Till this day, that phrase is the most embarrasing corny quote I've ever written. hahaha
But the card producers loved it and I got a nice paycheck from it.
Gerry says that once he heard me say that stupid corny quote he knew that I was a funny person and he wanted to get to know me better. (At first glance I'm very serious and shy. A lot of people misunderstand me as being stuck up...and Gerard thought that at first, but once he heard what I wrote, he laughed and was determined to get to know me.)
So thanks to a corny kid phrase I wrote for a Valentine's card Gerry liked me.
I'm laughing as I write this. I can't believe it...
So thats an embarrasing memory that has somehow become a special moment in time and I will treasure it...but I'm never telling my kids.
