Today I learned about the "missed connections" section on Craigslist. OMG, this is so sad. First of all, most of the postings are stuff like "I saw you across the room at Arby's wiping up curly fries. Did you feel it too?" Sad. Secondly, what are the chances that this random person you saw at the grocery store or library (yes, library) or whatever is freaking reading this Craigslist page and is going to recognize themselves? Jeez. And the absolute saddest thing of all is that, about halfway down the first page, I realized that I was totally addicted to reading them in the hope that one of them might be about me: "You: high school age, librarian look, buying an extra side of cole slaw at KFC. Me: intrigued. Please write back."
