As you all know, I’ve been job hunting for a few weeks now. That means I’m on craigslist all the time.
The jobs section.
At about 1am today I decided to look at the “Missed Connections” section because I’ve seen some really funny ones in there before. I’ve only checked them out once or twice over the past years, but I’ve had a few great laughs.
I start looking through and I see, “Starbucks Dupont Circle - m4m”. “Hmmm,” I think to myself. I was in Starbucks the other day.
Saw you out at Halo and Cobolt last Friday, you were very flattering. Saw you again today at my friends store (Starbucks) on the circle. You were on you computer, I didnt say HI cause I couldent remember you name, but hung around to see if you would chat! Anyhow, saw you lookin, shame neither of us found our balls today LOL, but hit me up if they drop!
My mouth dropped. DROPPED. That was me. Someone wrote about me in Missed Connections.
OMG I have arrived.
Actually, I wouldn’t be THIS excited except for the fact the guy was HOT! The night I first met him I told my friend Drew I thought he looked like Jake Gyllenhaal. And, uh, Jake’s hot.
Of course, the night I met him (I don’t know his name yet) - TWICE - I was shit-faced. Things with Matt were spiralling and Drew was plying me with theraputic liquid. After all he’s my best friend…and the devil.
Then a few days later I see him at Starbucks in Dupont. I was sober. He was talking to the guy who works there. It looked like they might be dating because they were very friendly. And I didn’t see him look at me once! He went out the door and sat outside and sang to songs on his iPod. It was cute. I tried not to gawk. Well, too much.
I also tried looking online to see if he was friends with any of my friends. Drats! No luck.
And then the mythical missed connection. I will never doubt it’s power again.
In any event, I wrote to him just now to say hello. I mean, how random?!
After I clicked send I had the thought, “What if it wasn’t him?…” I swear if it wasn’t, and I emailed him, I will pee my pants.
P.S. Jake. *sigh*

i thought for a fleeting moment that i might have been a missed connection earlier this year, but alas, no dice. i mean, the guy said “your name was taylor” and how many of us are roaming the streets here.
i guess if he said “your name was taylor, and you were really tall with a strong southern accent” that would have been the cincher.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! In my world, there is only one Taylor. And he is tall. And he is southern. And this is why I love him
