Are the Missed Connections Hot In Here, or Is It Just Me?
Perhaps the January darkness has made everyone a poet, or maybe it’s just statistical clustering, but the Missed Connections on Craigslist are particularly literary lately. I’m a big fan of Missed Connections. I’m always looking to see if there’s someone looking for “Spastic at Safeway” or “The Guy, You Know, with The Shirt?” If you’re not a regular reader, you won’t have seen long and meandering posts from Mr. “you are unique in this gray city of blank faces” and Mrs. “there is a reason people do what they are designed to do”
However, the post that has people melting like butter in the microwave is “Office Crush (sounds so familiar)“, which is so gushingly cute that it ought to be the script for the next Jerry Maguire movie. “Office Crush,” the whole MetroBlogging team is rooting for you! If you need to borrow my “Say Anything” soundtrack cassette, just drop a comment and I’ll totally lend it to you.
I already knew it probably wasn’t me he’s looking for because I don’t work in an “office” per se, but I continued reading the post…. Headphones? Check. Seeing my playlist on IM? Well, I knew that wasn’t me then…. =P
