missed connections thread GO GO GO




to the kid with the ironic facial hair:
i saw you at the library yesterday. it was about 30 degrees outside but your tank top was about 6 sizes too small and i saw your nipples, i thought that was really bad ass. you were reading kafka and i think i fell a little bit in love. you were at the show last night too and i thought you looked a lot like rivers cuomo. i don't think your aviator glasses actually help you see at all, but i imagine we'd have a hard time making out when our frames get in the way. you should call me.

to the kid on the path i saw about a week ago:
i got on a train headed to JSQ at 14th...those trains are always crowded so i squirmed my way through this large group of bros and went to grab the center pole for balance. I accidentally grabbed your hand, and then you made a point of bumping into me on your way out at newport. Did you feel those sparks too? I think we definitely had something.

to the fixie kid in starbucks:
i helped you through the door because i know how frustrating it is when doors close hard behind you and you're trying to carry a bike on your shoulder without getting the pedals caught in the frame. very frustrating. you were wearing the same glasses as me, except your frames were cherry red and they matched your bike frame. you asked me if i wanted to share a soy misto and i was completely blown away....wanna ride bikes sometime? you'll match my rims. i think it's really cute how you do that.

to the natural brunette:
with your bleached white hair you remind me a lot of agyness deyn even though your root really need to be redone. the other day, just when i thought things couldn't get any better, you put on a pair of orange wayfarers and i could hear you blasting cold war kids on your hugely oversized headphones. i always want to talk to you but you seem to have a preferred decibel level that i just can't compete with. maybe if i see you someday when you aren't listening to music i'll try to approach you, but i'm afraid that'll never happen. i understand. double dagger is my favorite band, too.

to nostalgia:
i always end up crushing on kids who remind me of you. why do you have to be such a huge douche and not share your 40% UO employee discount with me after all the times i bought you tickets to open mic night when we were back in high school? i love your snarky facebook status updates about frank sinatra and that time you wore a fake mustache when you worked at panera bread. i haven't seen you in a really long time but i assure you we still probably own about 80 percent of the same articles of clothing. one day you'll realize that we're soul mates. one day.

to the hipster on my floor:
you have been sleeping on my floor for about a week now. now and then you will get up and post a missed connection, tell me about the dreams you had involving your single speed bike, talk about how hungry you are, play some super mario bros and fall asleep again. you're glasses do not improve your vision. this confuses me. you also do not wear socks. also confusing.
please contact me when you wake up. i have never been so intrigued.

worst thread.

to the hipster on charley's floor:
i have been sleeping on charley's floor also! weird, huh? i have yet to run into you. this room isn't too big so it kind of confuses me how we've managed to slip by eachother for a week, but i am determined to find you at some point.

agreed. isn't there something you can do about this kind of crap since you're the moderator? like...um..FUCKING DELETE IT. who cares if they get mad? if they do then it says a lot about their character if you ask me.

[wolf]

haha jeez

way to make judgements on my character based on an event that didn't even take place. jeez. like i'd really be mad if someone deleted my threads. i obviously made them with the intent to be horrible and annoy people so i could care less if it got deleted. internets aren't serious.

[arjay]

Yo, don't front, the internet is serious business.

dear gaga glasses:

Your use of words makes me want to hurl romanticisms all day. I think it's pretty freaking adorable, and would love to hear more. If I'm ever in the northeast, I think we should cheel.

few things:

not sure what "event" you're talking about that didn't take place. i'm talking about the "event" of you continuously posting crap always. you can deflect all you want about the "internets not being serious" but the fact still remains that i think you've hardly said anything worth anything since this board started back up. while they may not be serious (not sure what you mean by this--not serious in the sense that you can talk about all the hipster shit you want to continue posting about--or not serious in the fact that the internet in and of itself doesn't actually do anything) the fact remains that for us separated for any number of reasons (unfortunately) this is one of the ways we have to discuss things. if that's the intent of this board, then crap like this is why it sucks all over again.

it seems like you're into things for the irony of it all, and i'm pretty sure that's the definition of hipster.

this is where we start with "why are you being all serious, god i was just kidding--why are you being a jerk." i'm being a jerk because someone has to sometimes, right?

[wolf]

sometimes, yes.
why don't we all just read the threads we are interested in and ignore the ones we think are stupid.
super!
