First and foremost (foremost is good word. For most…) I just discovered this “Missed Connections” setup over at CraigsList.com. Discovered not in the sense that I am the first to know about it, more in the way that Columbus discovered America.
At first it seems sad. Sad in a wow-could-people-be-any-more-lame sad. Then it becomes sad in a they-missed-the-chance-to-meet-the-one-they-need way.
There is beauty in some of the postings. Like this one,
“You were at barnes and nobles today. you were studying. it was about 11:30am. someone brought muffins.”
The addition of muffins makes it something more. Did someone bring her muffins or did someone simply bring muffins? Muffins were brought to whom? To who? Whom or who, either way- muffins WERE brought.
You

become yesterday,
and soon the day
before yesterday,
and then becoming
a date in time).

Question
Given the choice, do you go for the cupcake or the slice of cake (assuming both are the same flavor/type/etc.)?

It's like...

The piece entitled "You":
I like it... but almost wish it had continued. Perhaps that is it's beauty- it's abrupt ending--but I really enjoyed the day after yesterday section. Good job.
Also-- not sure if you checked the feature to e-mail comments to you whenever someone writes back- so I figured I'd write back to you here...
there's a lot of meaning in the statement you are curious about. Boiled down- I give too much of myself away in hopes of making people smile. I however am hurt by these actions.
More when I see you face to face.
Oh yea-- by the way- I'd go for the cupcake... they're prettier.
rather I should say they're quainter...
You don't want 555- sign up for PHO 302 or one of the upper level classes. Also-- I'm working on your pic tonight- you still haven't told me which one so I'm guessing on a random smiling face... you never remind me of things and I'm busy as hell.. so if you already did what you needed then um... let me know please... right now I'm finishing up a project, but I'm getting yours done and sending it off tongiht.
