I’ve been a bit MIA as my sister is visiting and I’ve been busy with her. She had surgery and I’ve been taking care of her and what have you: feeding her, making sure she’s getting her meds on time, stealing money from her wallet.
I was thinking the other day that I’ve never been the subject of a missed connection and it saddens me. With as often as I go out I have yet to go to Craigslist and see a post that reads something like this: “I was the tall, dark and very wealthy man who was wearing the Armani suit who was almost brought to tears when you left without giving me your number. You were witty. Fun. Well read and informed. I was so impressed I damn near moved to Seattle because see, I live in New York in a classic six on the Upper West Side and I’m just so lonely. You made me want to be a better person and I know we don’t know each other well but I would love to take you to my house in Bali and spend some time just talking and really getting to know one another.” Obviously this is me being silly but honestly, sometimes after a night out and about I’ll look to see if anyone has posted a connection listing one of the bars I went to that evening. Sometimes there are posts listing spots I was at but nary a shout out with me as the subject. I guess most of the time men aren’t impressed with a girl who walks around the bar chugging champagne straight from the bottle.
