Missed Connections

White female in a serious relationship seeks Drooling Creepy guy for short-term bus ride relationship

About me:

I am 24 year old, a left-handed cancer, Boston University graduate, young working professional, and purple enthusiast seeking someone to enjoy the finer details of bus-riding life without me.

You are:

- A tall and hairy caucasion gentleman in mid-40s with plump physique

- Unable to keep your balance while trying to find a seat and the bus starts moving, resulting in your and your Trader Joe's bags falling into the seat next to me

- Inexplicably wearing a three-piece suit

- Have lots of white spittle in the corners of your mouth while talking to me

- Have unrequited love for Susan Lucci and are able to tell me everything that is happening on "All My Children"

- Are so inspired by her you want to take acting classes at Emerson College

- Work as some kind of security guard near South Station

- Have a "girlfriend"

- Walk 8 miles a day around Brighton

- Are looking forward to finishing your undergrad

- Are similarly to me "also thinking about UMass Boston now that you mention it"

- Really insist on how good you would be at learning Spanish, French, or Chinese

- Although you would like to learn Chinese you hate our Asian bus driver and most Asians (extra points if you hate other races)

- Must lament inexplicably about your brother's offer to pay for your schooling

- Have a sister who used to write for "Frasier"

- Have a sister-in-law who acquired an internship at the David Letterman show by attending a taping of the show, complaining about how cold the air conditioning is, and asking for a blanket

Bonus points if:

- You are able to convey all this information to me without saying more than three "uh huhs"

- Are unable to distinguish disinterest from listening to you

- You are willing to continue talking when I have virtually wrapped my book around my head

- I don't get off at my stop because that is where you are getting off and I don't want you to know where I live

Please respond to this ad if you feel you meet these specific requirements.

NOTE: People doing the leg-machine in a three piece suit at the gym need not apply

There is one website you should do yourself a favor and (when you are done with my site of course) go over IMMEDIATELY. You will not be disappointed.

This site is called "Cake Wrecks" - When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong. It is a truly brilliant site showcasing the real life monstrosities that people have brought home from the bakery to their own personal horror, and to our delight.

There are no words for some of the artworks on the page. I like to try to imagine what the person who made the cake looks like as well, for extra laughs. Go now!

Hooters

via gChat:

Barron: I was in my car and forgot to tell you so I texted you
Barron: I am so happy there is a hooters near us again
Barron: it really is a blessing
Barron: hoot hoot

Overheard at Work

Overheard in the Cafeteria:

"This is where good looks come to die."

Whoopsies

A pickup truck went off Soldiers Field Road into the Charles River when the driver sneezed, the state Department of Recreation and Conservation said.

Boston University

Life Magazine has a great search engine on Google. One of the photo segments featured is called "Boston University Girls" and features many pictures along the river. This gem taken in front of Marsh Chapel could easily be recreated by me and Beth. All we need is some nice white bread snadwiches, apples, and cartons of milk.
