Can't Sleep...

Okay...yes, I am posting again today. I can't sleep because my ankle is throbbing. I just talked to Jordan on the phone, and it was just...well, awkward is the only word to describe it. We hadn't talked for almost a week. I almost kind of felt nothing...from him and for him. I don't really know how to describe it, which is totally not the point of this post so moving on. As I was saying, my motherf-ing ankle is killing me so I wander downstairs to get some water...and my computer is staring at me (yes, staring)...so I decide to get on Craigslist, my new favorite pasttime when I have nothing better to do (and I need to laugh). I love searching the "missed connections," because it's somewhat cute to think that someone may have seen me through the course of the day and thought I was worthy enough to get my very own post (what a novel idea...I wonder if a relationship has ever started because of this passive flirtatiousness?)...but really it's the "men seeking women" that I'm after. I especially love when I get a good picture of an ass...seriously, who posts their own ass (Brandon, no comment please)? Anyway, I was just thinking that it's weird that we can all narrow ourselves down to a few things: 5'7", 130 lbs., dirty blonde hair, brown eyes (as if that makes me, or anyone else, sexy). We all picture something else when reading these "descriptions," if these things are even worthy enough to be called descriptions. Which celebrity is 6', 180 lbs. with brown spikey hair and green eyes? I don't know the answer to this; I'm just making the point that we all see who we want to see, and we all see someone different. And athletic build...what the h- does that mean? I work out once a week? I have muscles you wouldn't even know existed? I take the stairs to work? It's just so...vague. No one talks about what their teeth look like, or if they have any weird moles or acne issues, or whether or not their thighs are a little bit bigger than normal. Yes, some guys explicitly state that they want a "bbw," which I recently learned stands for "big beautiful woman," but unless you get a picture, you really have no idea what you're getting yourself into. This poses my next question, why no pictures? I mean, let's be honest...you have to be attracted to each other. I finally realized that people you work with or babysit or whatever, may see you on this sad classified and mock you, but the whole point is that you're looking for someone...why do you care, number one, and number two, would your co-worker or the people you babysit for or whoever, really say anything? Depends on the bluntness, I guess...because Brandon, you would so call someone out...I know you. I've finally realized that 50% of these crazies post the same ad over and over again (as if once weren't enough), 48% are total creeps (i.e. "looking for a single mom to be your sugar daddy," "I have a wife, but she doesn't satisfy me," or "You must be into threesomes because I think I'm bi.") and the remaining 2% may, or may not, be normal. I saw one guy who was moving from Denver (School of Mines), and thought it would be great to meet someone from back home. He was cool, but not THAT cool...plus, we're the same height so it would never work. I definitely need more friends though, so I thought, "Why not?" Now, he won't stop calling me. I have him on permanent ignore. Mean, I know, but not as mean as telling him to leave me the hell alone. He's going to Canada and wants to know if he can leave his car here for a couple weeks....ummm, no. I live on a marina...parking is limited, and not cheap. Are you crazy? Plus, he lives on the southeast side. PS, I don't do the southeast side. Anyway, back to the CL (Craigslist for you newcomers). So, can't we all make ourselves attractive? And are those real photos? Who is real? Can you really trust the people that say "I can't believe I'm doing this" or "I normally don't do this kind of thing, but I'm sick of all the fake chicks?" Does it matter if they would normally "never" do it and now they are? Why would it matter? But...in all it's weirdness, wouldn't it be kind of interesting if this is how we were forced to meet people? There would be less heartbreak...I think...because it's to the point. You want an LTR (long-term relationship) or you don't...everyone's honest about it up front...and you see the picture, you like what you see, and you make the move...WHABAM...it's that simple (only you know what the other person is looking for at the end of the night, what's important to him/her, which is not always the case when making a late-night move at a bar). I think I should post my ad...see what kind of dousches I get. As a side note, I want to call my soulmate...I think I'm going to grow some balls and do it (not literally, of course). Anyway, back to what I was saying, it just seems like such a novel concept...posting a classified (I mean, literally, you're selling yourself...without charging for it). It's quite bizarre really...but here I am, it's 1:35 AM and I'm totally into it...even if it's for humor's sake. But really, we all know that in the back of my head, I'm waiting for Prince Charming to pop up on the screen...but he never will because there's no way in hell Prince Charming does CL...could he?
