Sick as a dog

Well, I've been sick for the past few days and it's pretty lame. It kind of puts a wrench in my training (I say that loosely) for doing a 5K race. Yeah, I decided a week ago that I'm going to try to run a 5K. We'll see how well I can commit to that.

You know what one of my guilty pleasures are? Those "missed connections" and "casual encounters" sections on craigslist. There's two things that you learn about these personals:

a) People have WEIRD fetishes, although by default I guess fetishes are a little weird anyways...

and

b) You gotta be pretty pathetic to think you saw your soulmate while you're ordering your number 3 in the line at McDonald's AND to post that experience on the internet in hopes of finding your so-called soul mate.

You ever wonder if these people actually meet in person? I secretly wish to see myself describe in a missed encounter because I think that would be wonderfully creepy.

So here are my picks of WTF craigslist casual and missed encounters-

Casual:

!!Travel gal needs a pal!!
"Im a down ass female lookin for the right man to ryde or die with. I guess i grew up to fast but thats why niggas say im housewife material. I cook all the southern dishes like a pro,thats how iI got all my donkey booty. Im needing a mature black man whos attractive,smart,hood,romantic,freaky,and enjoys a good woman. Im a freak and Im bysexual and love beautiful woman so my man has to be cool with it."

Ok, this has got to be fake but it's still good. I think I'll use this in my "About Me" section on myspace.

Missed:

1979 Ninilchik Alaska, 2 Lady Teachers - m4w - 55 (Alaska)

" In 1979 I met 2 lady teachers from N.M. One of them gave me the sexiest hug as we said goodbye. The other one had a daughter about 8 or 9, I had a son that was younger. What ever became of you?"

I didn't realize that you can give "sexy" hugs. Eh, well the more you learn...
