What inspires me today...
At first sight.
A bizarre habit of mine is to absentmindedly click through a few of my tabbed items on my toolbar. Here I find many treasures, such as rotten tomatoes, my bank account, my email, an assortment of blogs, news stations, a few music sites, ebay, and of course... Craigslist.
It's no secret that I love Craigslist. I've even posted before about Craigslist. It's a strange and fascinating obsession.
For a while I was searching for a job. I found a job, thanks Craigslist. Then I needed a bike. Once I found that, the natural progression was to look for a stalker. Yes, I thought the "Casual Encounters" section was funny for a time, but then things got pretty real when I discovered "Missed Connections" just a few links down.
I'm just waiting for the day when I click on "Girl at Ralphs" and it's not talking about the blond in soccer warm-ups ahead of you in line. One day it will be the brunette who has oatmeal, black beans, and that weird bargain fruit that is about to go bad in her basket. One day...
Until then, I will just enjoy the sweet sentiments of these mini poetic declarations of missed true love.
Example: "Ahhh, love is an anthropologist's rubiks cube."
Or this gem: "You know who you are. You probably know who I am. You know where you were, and you know you saw me at those same places."
I emailed that one back. Sounds like we have a lot in common.
