I thought it was pretty cute and touching. Then I felt like I was in a bad romantic comedy. If Tom Hanks jumps out of the bushes I'm shanking him. I've been emailing back and forth with the guy who posted it. We're going to hang out Friday. Weird stuff. (I'm really trying to ignore the your, you're thing, and the random lack of capitalization as I think he posted it from his iPhone. I know, I'm an ass. I'm working on it).
good luck! [no caps here either. not sorry.]
ReplyDeleteBut at least you never use caps. He just randomly forgot to put them in.
DeleteLOLOLOLOLOLOL! well this is exciting. and maybe worth a shot.
ReplyDeletei have a couple of exes that could not write AND/OR SPELL for shit. sometimes it was rather entertaining. one ex emailed me complaining about his boss and his job, and he said it was pure "torcher" to go to work every day. that one made me howl!!!!!!!!!
My favorite was yesterday when he meant to say he felt some friction and he said I feel some fissure. My friend Christina and I decided that from now on everything is a fissure.
DeleteI wasn't surprised a bit when you texted this to me, because you are special flower :) I think it's so fun that he's been thinking of you all this time. I hope he is a great guy and that you guys hit it off!
ReplyDeleteGrammar doesn't matter all that much, espcecially because I make mistakes all the time when I'm in a hurry or tired. What matters is that he likes cats and dogs!! :)
OOooh girl, just wait until I email you today.
DeleteThat's the sort of thing that only happens in movies!
ReplyDeleteTotally! I refuse to meet him at the top of the Empire State Building.
DeleteWho leaves Craigslist "missed connection" ads? Who reads them? Who RESPONDS to them? What the hell is a lambretta? I now have the answer to all of these, and they all involve you. It seems appropriate. Don't you know what happens when you go meet someone from Craigslist!?! Don't get murdered in his rape dungeon, that's all I ask.
ReplyDeleteExactly on all counts. I'd have never seen it if my friend hadn't texted it to me. I did respond because I thought it would be fun to catch up. He is a pretty unscary, yet slightly crazy man. A Lambretta is an amazing scooter, but now he has a Vespa instead. I am going to meet him with a snap out baton in one hand and a switchblade in the other. Welcoming, yet, "I'll cut your balls off." Or more just entirely, "I'll cut your balls off."
DeleteExactly! Asses unite!
ReplyDeleteYou got it like that!
ReplyDelete(1) I think it's boss that you posted this on your blog. That's the kind of bold Melanie move that makes me LURVE you so much
(2) I feel sort of bad for any guy who screwed up and lost his shot with you. My heart/the romantic side of me would love to see this work out.
Good luck! And keep me posted, please. I'm going to be dying to know if he can redeem himself and/or what happens next!
Some of us don't place Craig's List ads, some of us just check in via your blog (from time to time) and hope you are healthy, happy, and still amazing....
ReplyDeleteEx-unicorn, (hopefully ex)asshole,

You should email me via the contact in my profile or text if you still have my number. I was just mad at first because I thought you weren't respecting my need for space. Would love to hear from ya. And you're still a unicorn. Just not MY unicorn.
ReplyDeleteYikes. Cute and slightly scary. I'm not sure I'd meet up with a guy after all that time. Seems like a step back, even if you bring a switchblade.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him yet and may not any time soon. I think he just wanted to get laid really bad.
DeleteWow, how awesome is that, Memorable Girl?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying hard to get over grammar, spelling, etc., as a measuring stick for people. It's not working any better than quitting smoking, but I'm trying!
Of course, after writing that, I went back and capitalized "Memorable Girl."
I can not get over the grammar thing. It is almost always a sign the person is a weirdo.
