laughing about a hickey story

[likethebeer]

Hickey? Hickie? Hicky? Where the hell does that word come from, anyway.

someone told a funny hickey story, and that made me think: it's been a long time since I've gotten a hickey. Hickies were always the things that you got when you first started dating someone, for some reason. I think it's because the hickey giver gets better at preventing them over time (well, and there's also the early romance swooning, too, that can result in unintentional hickies). You can imagine, those of you who know him, that mda never gave me a hickey. He's ultra-conscientious. He can't help it.

So that means someone before him must have bestowed a hickey on me. I can't really think who that would be.

The best hickey story I remember was this hot English prof. in college. He ended up marrying 1 of his students (they're still married I think). But actually, it's not as creepy as it sounds. He was 28-29, and they didn't date until she was no longer his student. However, one day I was sitting in class. It was a really warm classroom, and I was sort of dozing. As my eyes were rolling around b/c I was trying to stay awake, I realized the guy had a hickey on his neck. That woke me up. I thought, "oh my god. My teacher has a hickey. Dude! It's warm but you should have worn a turtleneck!" I don't know if that would have covered up the hickey, but I would have appreciated the effort.

The trick with a hickey is to wear a turtleneck, but one that doesn't quite cover it. That way you look coy, but everyone knows that you're out there being wild.

At least that's what I thought back when I was in high school.

The turtleneck still doesn't stop the blushing.

You *hear* about hickies when you're younger, so there's this whole freshman/sophomore teasing thing about getting a hickey from friends. "Heh--I'm gonna give you a hickey!" "Noooo!" Then you actually get one when you're not just goofing around w/buddies, and it's like, "ooooh. That's what getting a hickey is all about. No wonder parents don't like to see them."

As an adult, recently divorced, suddenly the threat of a hickey being spotted by my children became an embarrassment again. It was a source of anger toward the person who wouldn't listen when I said not to do that. He was either still mentally in high school, or wanting to mark his territory. Either way, he was given the boot.

Your story about your professor is exactly what I don't want to happen! Thank God it's winter or else I would be forced to dip into my old lady scarf collection!

I hadn't thought of that! But I didn't say anything to the guy, I just noticed it! I'm glad you got a hickey.

Ha! mda giving someone a hickey is a mental picture that has me laughing my special-underwear heinie off! You've really given me a special mind-treat.

Well, then, there's a lot of pictures of mda that might make you laugh.

He's the one who sent me the special underwear link. I wonder how he gets those things
