so i know i'm going to expose my complete and utter lameness with this post, but i'm already single on valentine's day so what else do i have to lose? i'm sure everyone in the world probably already knows about this, but craigslist is pretty frickin' awesome. haha, well, maybe not quite "awesome," but how about comforting, or cathartic? people have told me about craigslist before for finding couches, or roommates or soulmates, whatever, but i never actually checked it out. so now here's me on national singles' awareness day and the loser in me went and checked it out. first of all... before you do anything, click on the "best of craigslist" link, haha, those are awesome! haha, did you see the guy selling the "pink vagina couch?"
anyway, personal ads can be kinda fun to read, but what really got me was the "missed connections" section. i had no idea there was such a thing! if you've never seen, basically it's a place for people to post ads for that hot girl you were eyeing up at the supermarket and hope that she reads it. there were some gems in there man, but aside from having a good laugh, it was actually kinda comforting to see just how many people are encountering these types of situations. it makes me feel like there's some hope because i'm not the only one missing out on potential somethings. plus it's kinda cool to read through everything hoping to see something that resembles yourself, haha. yeah, i could read through those things all night, it's very interesting to see what people go through, it's actually kinda encouraging.
well, not like i'm gonna go out posting myself all up in the personal ads, but it made a nice vday distraction. heck, maybe i should give it a shot huh? no wait, that's just the desperation kicking in... resist the urge...

haha, yeah, i'm sure like half of those posts are really "creepy guy eyeing up teenage girl on bus" stories. but thanks, you made me feel a little bit better about own lameness of reading it knowing you've actually posted, at least i'm not that bad, haw haw!
kidding.... sorta.
hahaha.
so i knew this girl in seminary. i just did not like her. because i'm a jerk and very mean and VERY unchristian like. i just didn't enjoy her company. and the reasons? well one, she was annoying. two, so was her voice. it was comparable to nails against the chalkboard. ew. and she was not at all attractive. to a point where it's like, gee i really hope there is someone out in the world who will love her. i mean she was a sweet gal, but i didn't like her company. i know, very pastoral.
however, she stopped coming to school the following semester. we found out that she transferred to a different seminary, because she got married! and she met her husband through eharmony. and they got married in less than a year or something like that. it was crazy. but it worked for her. so good for her.
what's my point? i don't really know.
but hey, if she found someone, you're perfectly fine. don't sweat it.
and you're still like 26.
