I wasn’t quite a teen, but I definitely wasn’t a child when I fell in love for the first time. I can clearly remember seeing him on the TV for the first time. His rippling muscles, his attitude, the rakish tilt to his bandanna. All a girl on the verge could ever want. ~sigh~
But I had to hide my new found love from the world. I knew no one would understand. I knew I would be the brunt of a million jokes at home and at school. And so, I loved him in secret.
As the years past me by, I lost touch with him and his career. I grew up. Met a boy. Got married and had children of my own. I watched with jaded eye when I saw him on the television, smiling with a secret pride when my children gasped in awe watching him fight for justice.
Sadly I thought, he’s changed - gotten older and less… mysterious.
I assumed I had finally grown up.
But today. Today I found the truth. I learnt that a girls’ first love will survive anything. Today I watched him in the theatre. So large, at times his face took up the whole screen, and I felt that old familiar heat in my blood. Even my toes were tingling!
How wrong it felt, sitting there, passing Twizzlers to one child, holding a popcorn bucket for another, while my thoughts were centered on the being on screen. How wrong was it for me to be holding a toddler in my lap, my eyes closed, imagining a time and place where we could be together without societies prejudice.
How wrong was it that I left the cinema in a very, shall we say, excited state; caused from staring at my old beloveds beautiful green body face for an hour and a half.
How wrong is it, that I am still in love with him?
Still. So. Hot.

wow, honey… I just don’t know. Having the hots for a turtle? Hm. Can’t say I completely understand. I was in love with Luke and Han (from Star Wars). At least they were people.

Seriously!!!!! Now I can’t go and see this with the kids, cuz I’m going to get some weird porno running wild in my imagination between you and the turtle. And I think I just puked a little in my mouth!!!

Tingling toes….I know about tingling toes. And the object of my desire is not green or a turtle!
Very well written, my dear.

WebMiz Why do I get the feeling you get as turned on as I did when you look at that picture?
Comment by Bluepaintred - April 1, 2007 4:40 pm
Nope, never watched them. I was a teenager when they came out, I was busy working. There was a TMNT video game in the arcade I worked in during college. I hated that machine.

Nobody Hmm. Thats intertresting. I wonder if your hate for what is a typical testoterone filled show had anything to do with your choice of dog…we should do a study
Comment by Bluepaintred - April 1, 2007 7:58 pm
Oh, I don’t hate the show, how could I? I’ve never seen it.
But that god damn video game.. It played the theme song over and over and over… And it was RIGHT OUTSIDE the office door. I still hear that fucking song in my sleep.
Comment by Nobody™ - April 2, 2007 11:02 am
I had the TMNT game and my brother sold it. I loved those turtles!
