Craigslist
After a long day of making hallacas, I decided to peruse Craigslist for a mod nightstand. I LOVE Craigslist. If you need a quick laugh, read some of the missed connections. For Tulsa, OK this is hook-up central for the M4M community.
"I saw you at the gas station. You were driving a hot little Infinity and wearing some AH-mazing Prada loafers. I winked at you. Email me with the color of shirt and car I was driving, so we can uh, be friends."
These messages usually range from bizarre to desperate. I feel terrible for laughing at them, but no actually I don't. Screw them. They need to be more confident when approaching people in public. Using CL to find love is desperate and sad. Unlike chatrooms for WoW. I've found like three different soulmates on those! Never underestimate the importance of a sexy avatar!!!
Anyway, finding furniture on CL - completely badass. You can find the most unique variety of furniture. I found a post that described a family that was too lazy to have a garage sale or drive their shit to Goodwill. So they stuck their furniture on the curb and posted a few pictures on CL with a "free to good home" sign. And what do you know, beautiful mod nightstand right in the middle! And they live 5 miles away! Yes! Good times. Warm fuzzies, right? Wrong. It was yellowed, termite-ridden and water-damaged. But, sitting next to it? Gorgeous little herb pot. Perfect for strawberries or basil and mint. Mmmm. Not what I came for, but excellent nonetheless. How awesome is free stuff? And lazy people? Yes. VERY Awesome. ¶ 10:45 PM 0 Comments

Thanksgiving
Sure, she has beautiful, curly, blond hair and does adorable little things like calling grapes "cherries", but the moment she doesn't have your full attention she morphs into a little head-banging banshee that causes your ovaries to play hide and seek.
