fish killer wants date

[lyra_sena]

Well I can now say with scientific certainty that a goldfish can indeed go three days without food and continue to live.

Because I cannot stand the suspense, I have this ridiculous urge to tack up a note on the beam where subway guy always stands:

SUBWAY GUY,

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO OUT WITH ME?

LYRA

...my life is a sitcom anyway, right?

Dear Fishkiller - You're not continuing the fish starvation experiment, are you? Poor Clyde (or whatever his names was)! On the other hand, yeah, with the long weekend our fish were all Famished yesterday and pretty much calling me something like "fishkiller", if I could only have read their lips.
*g*

PS - Subway Guy, Wake Up!

*sigh* No, I totally gave in and fed him yesterday afternoon.

DO IT! Tack the note up! Date Subway Guy!

P.S. Last year I dated a guy I met on the subway (aka Q Train Boy), and it was lots of fun and we made gingerbread men and did silly romantic touristy things together.

If my sample size is large enough for accuracy (let's assume 1 = accurate), subway guys = AWESOME.

[lyra_sena]

I love your sample size. It's totally adequate for our purposes here. Also, um, it's the Q train he and I are both on as well. There must be something about that line...

I double-dog-dare you to do the note thing.

[lyra_sena]

I wibble about if it's cute or creepy!

[hackthis]

OMG! Do it! do it! Do it!

[lyra_sena]

But is it too creepy??

[hackthis]

Ah. Well, there is a possibility. It can go either way, it can be adorable, or weird. There's this guy at my office who I see sometimes and we sort of eye each other in that, you're hot, but you might be a freak way -- or maybe that's just me. He said hi to me the other day and I was just like, 'awwwwww.'

[lyra_sena]

It would only be adorable if -- as the scenario in my head plays out -- he saw the note, wrote YES on it, and then emailed me to seal the deal.

The other scenario is that he sees the note, realizes I'm a psycho and makes sure he ALWAYS goes in early to work.

Because the truth of the matter is, it's getting really damn hard to look cute every morning when I leave the house. Planning outfits is TIME CONSUMING.

PUT THAT NOTE UP! DATE SUBWAY GUY!

[lyra_sena]

I WILL TRY TO MARSHALL THE COURAGE!
