Kissingitis ( pronounced kisseenjaitis)!

But how do you expect me,
to live alone with just me?
‘Cause my world revolves around you
It’s so hard for me to breathe
- Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown

Please verify the following facts and get back to me so i can get back to Linda Schaefer who wrote this...lol!

1. Two out of every three couples turn their heads to the right when they kiss.

2. A simple peck uses two muscles; a passionate kiss, on the other hand, uses all 34 muscles in your face. Now that’s a rigorous workout! (see, kissing is actually an exercise)

3. Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two lip impressions are alike. (maybe that should be used in catching criminals yea?)

4. Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches. (Ibiluv and Afro were so right about the sexual healing y'all)

5. The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing.(WHAAT?! i hope i do better than the average person)

6. Ever wonder how an “X” came to represent a kiss? Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came to represent the kiss itself.

7. Talk about a rush! Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters in our brains as parachuting, bungee jumping, and running (confirmed!!!!!!). (I so want to kiss right now)

8. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married. (I would love to verify that one) *inserts tiny cough*

9. Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don’t (husbands start kissing away, boyfriends start practicing)

10. The longest kiss in movie history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the 1941 film, You’re in the Army Now. It lasted 3 minutes and 5 seconds. So if you’ve beaten that record, it’s time to celebrate! (is that supposed to be a record, we break that on a regular)
*********************************************************

RANDOMLY now:

I was at the Galleria last saturday and the one before, please tell me i'm not the only one who feels like i mistakenly landed in a high school on LUNCH BREAK! it's not that i have something against teenagers being there, but they've overtaken the place!

You want to see Nigeria's "Haute couture"?please go to the Cinema on a saturday or a sunday.

I'm lonely! (there I said it *phew*).

For so long i havent minded being alone, not being in a relationship et al, but at some point this weekend, i admitted to myself that:

i miss being in love

i miss having someone to love mindlessly

i miss having someone to cater to

i miss having someone to talk to about every- and anything

i miss cuddling and making out

I miss buying "pour Homme" perfumes i heart so much for someone i love to smell it on... you know... he comes to see me and i can bury my face in his neck all even'long just breathing him in...

i miss reading those texts with all the sweet nothings in them

i miss those intermittent calls i would get during the day and night just to hear i'm loved

Despite being the "feminist" most of the time, i really would like to have my own someone all over again, gosh, it's been over two years!

I just havent met anyone in recent times who "does it"for me and it's totally impossible for me to settle for less, i wasnt configured that way.

i'll continue this rambling later peeps, my boss just came in from Abuja! he wasnt supposed to be back until tomorrow! now i have to get really busy... nonsense and concobility!

... If you already have 28 on the list, I'm sending my CV now. I can work under pressure with minimal supervision :))

flabby said...

Im addicted to kissing!! I love this post!

I've been single for 2 years as well *sigh* i know exactly what you mean!
x

Nigerian Drama Queen said...

Yes oh! Kissing is definately good for what ails you! I can testify to that!! LOL
Hmmm 29 guys...Im way below that average but I have a long while till I get married..lol
OMG Did I tell you I am SICK of that song! No air and 'Keep Bleeding' are some of the songs that threaten my sanity!
And dont worry boo...your prince will come soon! You might just have to kiss a couple frogs before you get to him!Lol!

archiwiz said...

Your post mirrors my thoughts... well, the missing part. Just the thought of having someone to share life and living with produces endorphins in my head. Well, thank God for the Holy Spirit, and all the little and big things He brings.

@ 30+ I claim that prophecy oh. Like my mama will say, "Who dey cry dey see road."

Original Mgbeke said...

Yes I'd like to verify the 29 men before marriage thing as well. *angelic look*

And no shakings girl, HE will come. When you're not expecting it. :)
What's up Smaragd.

Parakeet said...

Flourishing Florida said...

as 4 ur being feminist thing, do u know that 'feminist women are more likely than others females to be in a romantic relationship'? yeah? i bet u ddnt know dat, huh? hehehehehehe

i was playing Celion Dion's 'That's d way it is'. U should listen 2 it 2day & have faith - "wen u want it d most, there's no easy way out. wen u r ready 2 go, & ur heart's n doubt ... don't give up on yourself ... love (now, i forgotten who d song says but something like 'love has its way around' or d other)... & daz d way it is"

Flourishing Florida said...

& yes, 30+ is right. wen u desire something, you attract it (so says 'The Secret' & d Bible, actually)

Flourishing Florida said...

PRINCESA, thank God i'm not the only one. these toasters are not getting any chance o!

there's a saying "dont bother tantalising ur nostrils with something u wont eat"

Today's ranting said...

Afrobabe said...

NaijaBabe said...

Dont worry, he isnt far away!

Mz. Dee said...

lMAO!!
hi my name is mz. dee and i'm a kissaholic!!
hehe!

Queen of My Castle said...

I love love love kissing!

I, too, realized that I miss being in a relationship in which sincere love is reciprocated, and the fact that my Naija friend/ex/current/ i don't-know-what-the-hell-we-are-anymore can into Houston over the weekend only made matters worse. *Sigh*

The Word states that love is patient...so I patiently wait along with you for it to return.

Enigma said...

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x...

ablackjamesbond said...

So u know where i work? I will soon figure u out too. Anyways, rem the 'cool' comment u saw on my 'about' page...that wasnt
me...blackbond did tht.

Jinta said...

about turning the head to the right to kiss, i wonder if it's something to do with being right-handed?

lmao! i was going to offer companionship but sorry, i cant do the talking all day and night on the phone and texting thing

Shubby Doo said...

Yep I turn to the right too

...29 men before marriage...crap...why did no one tell me about this stat!!!

question...what is better? top lip kisses or bottom lip kisses?

re: what you miss...everyday you have spent without is a day closer to when you will next be enfolded in it...just hold on and trust yourself...it will be worth the wait

ibiluv said...

1) yea to accommodate each others noses(especially oyinbo people own whey dey long)

2) i luv me that kinda workout

3) I don see something similar for CSI-dem dey even use ear print......

4) you know how we do.........

5) 336 hours no do you????

6) really????????

7) no wonder-i luv it much much...far easier than bungee jumping......*wink*.......

8) kai i am way below average sef.......

9) kiss dey increase income??????

10) thats a long tyme to stare at a movie kiss but for any good kisser that one sef na preamble......*wink*......



no be dia fault as them don do galleria in dia tyme
why dem sef no go flex muscle????(teenagers)

its aiight to miss having someone
i do too sometymes
i just dont dwell on it
cos its not something i can shop for
it has to come my way

so i occupy meself with other stuff
and i am one of the very rare & weird females who dont
equate sex with love
i have always been a loner
so i can miss sex without actually missing a human

Jay said...

One of the side effects of being single is.....loneliness!!!

Girl don't sweat it, he will arrive when u expect it the least and he will be a champion kisser!!! lol

LG said...

Rebirth said...

i know what u mean about being single but then, its neva that perfect... dont forget the petty fights......
i can neva seem to get over the fact that nigerians tend to overdress everywhere

Jennifer A. said...

"Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches." Wowwwwww...

"Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don’t ...woah. My future husband better start learning about this, for his own benefit...LOLLL.

Maybe u're feeling all mushy mushy right now because someone is coming ur way real soon...take this golden time u have now to prepare urself for him. R u ready to be in a blessed and fulfilling relationship? This "free" time may be God's way of preparing you...*wink*

Unknown said...

@ Enigma: Awwww... that's so sweet of you to send kisses to my aburo.

Hey Aburo mi, you know we've 'talked' about this. Sometimes it's when you're not even thinking about it that it happens. But we can't help it at times... Don't worry, o'mbo lono. Ko ni pe de.

ejura said...

The average women kisses 29 men before...thank God HIV ain't trasmitted that way.

You know what you said about the Galleria? Well, that's exactlyhow i feel when ever i go to Ceddi Plaza here in Abuja. Teenage girls everywhere! I have nothing against em really but I'd love to be in a more mature gurl hang oou every now and then.

Hmm, to be in love. It's fun and i am loving it at the moment. I hope you get to meet the perfect"Mr" for you soon.

Naapali said...

Kiss away your sorrows.

Atutupoyoyo said...

I have only just rediscovered the joys of kissing actually. I fell out of love with it for a while but I am now locking lips with my gyal every chance I get. It surprises her and she thinks maybe I am overcompensating for something else. I just like those her soft lips too much to care.

Smaragd said...

TR, it is well o. thanx

ATUTS, awwww, i want, i want, i want *in the voice of a petulant, pouting three year old child*
kissing is fun and exercise and therapeutic and hygienic and...
lol

mizchif said...

Awwww! I so miss all the things you mentioned. sometimes this "singility" does get boring!

As for galleria, i can't believe u are just making that observation, that's how it has been since forever, if u want to annoy urself further, try palms on a public holiday, u'd probably start crying.

isha said...

I thought I was the only one with a Kissing addiction. It's been a long long long time tho.

theicequeen said...

you too? the buying of "pour homme"..awww..im not alone in this! i love the smell of mens cologne! and having a nice masculine body to breathe it in from is just divine!!!..and i relate to most of the other stuff..mot days..most days i wake up and am glad i dont have any of that..wonder why :P

BlogVille Idol said...

O'Dee said...

Every1 in blogville has been here, n I am just commenting. My apologies.

I like the way u talked about missing being in love. Its easy to say I love being single... but @ some point in time we want to love n feel loved.

I have listened to the baby girl song, n its really goos but not "rockable" if u know what i mean.

I will be relocating to the mother land.

Allied said...

I heard about this kissing thing today. The one about husbands who kiss their wife make better income..

If my husband don't kiss me good bye - hmm Gods knows i will take it by force!!

Smaragd said...

Desy said...

i'm DEFINATELY a consumer of kisses (and i think i surpassed that average a few years back)

all those things you miss about relationships are the reasons i try to block out...lol... i need to focus on school and a relationship would be TOO distracting... cause when i give; I GIVE...lol

Nine said...

Kpele.It happens,I know.The drought shall end.

As for teenagers,well,more than half Nigeria's population is below 25yrs of age.Besides,they have few other places to hang out.You're stuck with em:)

Zena said...

SMAR UPDATE PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Caelestis Angelus! said...

youre so funny girl, really nice post and believe me, i know how it feels to want to be loved jare

Sherri said...

hang in there and enjoy ur singleness to the fullest.

how u dey?

uNWrItten* said...

come this babe...u can like to update sharply!!!...warris goin on?..lol

NaijaScorpio said...

Nice post. Just had to point this out, being feminist doesn't mean u don't or shouldn't want a man. Feminism in a nut shell means wanting equal rights as men. A lot of people misconstrue feminists as man hating individuals. Not true!

Nigerian Drama Queen said...

Talk about someone needing to update.......

Afrobabe said...

you need to update this joint oh....

TMinx said...

One can be feminist and be in love with a man or does the word mean man hater? Pray, it will come :)

29 men? I have work to do.

rethots said...

Eyaa.....your time will surely come. Just make sure you are ready.

Tairebabs said...

Is she sure that the average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married. Haba 29? wahala dey o!

Yes the galleria reminds me of high school musicals! Kinda makes me feel old o!

About being lonely. Think of it as a break, enjoy the lonely time 'cos when Mr. busy comes around, you would miss it.
