it's hard to live in the city
So, I have never been one for Craigslist, but today I was browsing for the hell of it. Has anyone ever read the "Missing Connections" bit?
It's the cutest thing ever. Basically, if you saw someone, thought you made a connection with them but didn't get their name or number, you leave your message here and hope they see it. The chances of this are probably insanely slim...anorexic even, but it's really sweet.
Some of them are extremely vague, but that kind of makes it even sweeter, some of my favourites for today in Toronto:
Brunette @ Tim Hortons: m4w (King & John)
"You were sitting in the booth with a blue shirt saying something about not eloping. You looked so cute I wish I had the courage to just come talk to you.
But alas you left before I could. "
We missed each other: mfw: 27
"While standing in line. Sorry it looked like I was playing with myself. That's where I hide my money. "
We shared a cab home: m4w (751 Queen Street W.)
"You’ve studied fashion design and medieval studies. You’re embarrassed by larpers. You’re destined for Europe. Your home town in British Columbia was boring. But you’re not. You’re fascinating and I want to hear more about you. The conversation flowed so naturally during our cab ride home that we have to follow it up with a date. If we just sat in a cab and drove around Toronto for another 20 minutes, I’d feel like the luckiest guy in the world."
I'm not an astronaut, but: 41 (Manulife)
"We were in the same line at the grocery store in the Manulife this morning. We talked about Mercury and gas giants. You were cute. And nice. Coffee?"
For fellow Torontonians: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mis/ Otherwise, google it babies. It's worth a wasted 15 mins. or so. :)
P.S. My song totally suits this...
