the double kiss
what's up with the faux euro double kiss that we all as hip new yorkers have adapted as the standard greeting? fine, color me frigid, but i think that the double kiss is totally an invasion of face. especially since it's fast becoming the introductory norm - like, the handshake is so last year. first of all, you never know which way to go first. is it my right or your right? with a 50 50 chance that you could be wrong, you end up hesitating with your eyes darting around to try gauge the other person's direction, thus making the situation completely awkward. not to mention the fact that you look like a nervous pigeon. further along the process, perhaps as a direct result of the initial awkwardness, you may not remember pull away enough to facilitate the other cheek kiss and end up in quite an uncomfortable, albeit split second, nose on nose contact. seriously, i'm stressed just thinking about it. we shouldn't have to put ourselves in that kind of emotional strain. plus, really, what are we kissing? the air in the vicinity of the recipient's ear? is that area so special as to warrant my feigned symbolic act of love? so, in conclusion, the double kiss is just a waste of endorphins. save it for your saturday nights... you know what i mean.(that was for you)
