at a party in Brooklyn. I was looking for
someone to hang out with at a medical
school orientation party when I spotted
him. He intrigued me and he looked
like he would have interesting things to
say, although I wasn't sure I was cool
enough to be friends with him. I
remember staring up at him (he's 6'5)
trying to impress him because I was so
impressed by him. Lucky for me, Kevin
seems to enjoy the company of kind of
dorky girls. We did become friends
and I'm so glad. Kevin is as cool as he
looks in addition to being insightful,
peaceful, witty and smart. Only one
request, Kevy, please don't leave me
alone again in Flatbush wearing a
bright red scarf!
with HEAVEN'S and his sister's rhymes
with GATE[y]. yet despite great thirst,
his parents did NOT drink no kool-aid.
arent we glad? i am.
study hall. To my delight I found a
creative, interesting well read
creature that I copped a feel on
whenever possible. We corresponded for
a time and I can honestly say he helped
me understand things. It's been far
too long of a hiatus.
for the ice cubes, kev.
noting kevin's way with the fairer sex,
i implored him to share his incredible
secret with me so that i might not
spend yet another chilly winter's eve
alone. but with a glint in his eye, he
refused, running off into the night
with an evil cackle, yelling something
about "get your own game, dork."
bastard... but i still give him big
ups for being one hellacious fella
otherwise.
I've had a lot of time to figure this out - he
watches a certain amount of televison at my
house. I don't think I've ever kicked him out,
and consider - kicking out is like, my THING.
clearly a hit with the ladies. I would
say that Kevin is a sensualist. He's
eager to draw the most possible pleasure
out of life, which makes him a perfect
companion for every kind of activity,
from home-cooked to haute. He's a
good-humored, stimulating, and
affectionate friend. All of this
explains why Kevin has permanent
refrigerator privilelges in my house.
good-looking, and once he took me to see
the cramps. also, when i used to run into
him at the gym, i always noticed that he
refrained from making those weird grunting
moises guys seem to think that it's okay to
make as long as they're lifting weights. it's
not okay, and kevin knows it.
