Who reads these? - w4m (king county)

I've been posting for a week, for fun. I never imagined the subject of one of my posts would actually contact me.

Which is contrary to the whole point, right? Many of you are seeking and hoping to find the object of your affections. I was doing the opposite. Posting silly but true things, imagining it would be innocent and fun.

What I'm getting at it is...people do read these posts. Your person might find you.

I hope it all works out for the best in your case. I'm grounding myself from the internet for a week in my case.

It's all fun and games until

The object of your post reads it, finds you and is very confused.

Creative writing, folks. Oh my goodness.

I needed Timothy Hay

You: wearing a cowboy hat

Me: Disheveled in a nice coat

I joke about the chickens and the rabbits. You told me to stay dry.

Thanks.

I failed to stay dry. I ruined the cuffs of my jeans.

I hope you stayed dry and didn't have too long of a day.

I tried really hard to be a friend. I apparently hit a nerve and failed. I'm sorry.

You are awesome. I hope the trajectory of your life continues from great to awesome to amazing.

Not everybody knows this, but I'm secretly an awful person.

You apparently were keen to that. Honestly best wishes to you. I only legitimately hate a few people. You are not on the list.

State Farm Insurance Agent - w4m (Vashon)

You: State Farm Insurance Agent who called me on the phone

Me: Frazzled lady trying to truthfully present facts while babysitting toddlers

I witnessed a car accident this past summer. I spoke to the lawyer in charge of the lawsuit. You called me today, and I must admit, I felt a bit on the defense. However, I made you laugh.

"I don't know these people. I have no horses in this race."

You wound up thanking me profusely for even being willing to talk to you.

Hey, you're just doing your job. I'm just trying to remember. Not everybody is trying to sue everybody. I just saw an accident.

Glad you wound up feeling amused and grateful. Thanks for getting me out of playing dolls for a few minutes.

It's a small world. We're all in it together.

Best Response to Burien Subway from LostNSpace

Yup my whole life has been a matrix of sorts. I don't know when it began but there has been some one pulling on this puppets strings for most of my life. Plan went wrong when I was going back to cali and didn't give any reason why except for lies. I caught on and now you are stuck trying to reintroduce me into the world and it isn't going as planned. I changed my ways because of the Rachelle W, as I know her as, she wasn't suppose to last. I already know I was video taped transporting seeds. Those are my back up plan and always have been if I couldn't find her and get a new life together as I truly wanted... a real life one with out the tug of war. Stability of a home and a wife is all I ever really wanted and she taught me that. I don't want to play it further so I made up my mind about who she is I will stay celebate for even though I know deep down she will never show up for real in my life again nor will any of my what I thought to be freinds. No woman I have ever met really liked me or wanted me, no guy was really more then a place haven't we been over this enough times? there is no love story for me, it was all prearranged. I will be the first to say I have no game. Thanks for rubbing it in my face again with the show last night. 
 
Yup deep down I truly have no self esteem left just a dream of a girl that once was and I accept her in the future or any other friends but not if they are faking it with cameras rolling. I am going to figure out the "DIY" of being a recluse. Sex, drugs, and rock n roll is what the show was about to the world in reality it was the painful journey of a mentally ill man who never really had a chance in hell to start with weather his life was real or not.

Hey you, trying not to laugh in the Burien Subway - w4m (Burien)

You: Fellow with a ginger beard trying really hard not to laugh in a Burien Subway.

Me: In my thrift store dress-up clothes arguing with a strangely dressed 10 year old about tomatoes vs. apples. 

Are they fruits or vegetables? Do seeds matter? Has my whole life been a lie? Haven't had time to google. You tell me.

And next time, laugh out loud.

Shades of Blue wants to know...

are you a sexy brunette? athletic / fit? 

Response:

I am a brunette and I would call myself sexy but not athletic or fit. I'm regular size, if a bit short. Are you a Brit who was drunk in public?

I Just Wanted a Cup of Coffee

I just wanted a cup of coffee - w4m (Dick's, Queen Ann)

You: a drunk Brit. Me: A very sober volunteer. Location: Dick's.

You gifted me with many beaded necklaces. I was the Queen of Sheba. I was afraid you were about to start multiple fights, but we turned it around every time.

You bought me coffee. I put your straw in your Diet Coke.

We walked out together to a sidewalk full of people getting naked.

I said "Cheers, we'll never meet again."

I just wanted to say thanks.

Also I DO NOT work for Facebook.

Have a wonderful life.

A week of missed connections

Today I posted a "missed connections" ad to the Seattle craigslist, based on the hilarious and surreal experience I had whilst in search of coffee at 2 AM downtown.

I will post my ads and the most amusing responses here. One week. One real ad per day. Actual responses. Enjoy!
