2. I used to date* a girl named Freida

she was cute. I wonder if that's where her name came from? (I mean, not her specifically as in her parents were big Freya worshipers but if the name Freida was derived from Freya)

Luckily, this was before I discovered sex so I never found out if she was especially fertile.


* this was maybe 7th or 8th grade - by date i mean we were "going steady" lol..neither of us were allowed to go anywhere date-like. By going steady I mean we were allowed to sit next to each other at church. I went for supper at her house once and we sneaked a kiss. We got scared we'd get caught though so we went back in the living room and pretended that's where we were all along.

I wonder if she remembers that. I wonder if she thanks herself when it's Friday. She ought to.

Thank God it's Friday? No... [View all] OriginalGeek Jun 2013 OP
