42 years old, really?
I commented on your Shirt at Skylight today - m4w - 42 (Los Feliz)
I saw you today at the Skylights annex in Los Feliz. I was so taken by you that I barely paid attention to what books they had. I thought, "oh, awesome! It's my turn to find a cute girl in a Hipster bookstore! I guess movies ARE right, after all." And then, guess what? You left. Suddenly uninterested in books, I left too, not realizing that there was an even bigger Skylights two doors down. I wondered... could she? Would she? I already knew you liked books, so I thought I had a pretty good chance.
And there you were, bright and shiny and so lovely in your cuffed jeans, cute shoes and green-striped top. I wanted to hold your hand and talk about books; I wanted to have coffee in Paris with you; I wanted to feel your head on my shoulder during a French New Wave Festival.
So I tried not to stare, tried not to creep, tried not to follow you, but I couldn't help it. I finally passed and commented, in a rather stumbling and not at all smooth way, "that's a cute top... you look really cute in it." You said, "thanks" and smiled. We never spoke again. Maybe you weren't attracted to me? Maybe I, a straight man, shouldn't tell girls that their "Top" is "Cute" if I'd like to date them? Maybe I should be happy I made you smile and move on.
But I'll still be thinking about that coffee in Paris.

If he were in his early 20s I would just think he was being a corny indie fuck, but there's something really depressing about that coming from a 42 year old.

sometimes I think "musicians" must be the most depressing section of craigslist. It's all like people thinly disguising their delusions of grandeur and dreams of superstardom behind vague language ("get in touch and we'll just jam and see what happens") and lists of gear. There isn't even really like one example I could pull out because it's just so pervasive and overwhelming
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 16 September 2010 14:04 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^ this, except often their delusions are not disguised whatsoever. My favorites are the "bands" looking for everything: guitar, keys, bass, drums.." It's usually one crazy dude who has already named the "band" and needs enablers.

Hi. I wanted to thank you again for being so thoughtful while I was in line behind you at the Vons in Echo Park. First, you were very kind to move your groceries on the conveyor belt! Second, you were very thoughtful in worrying that you would hold me back while filling out the application for a Vons Card! Your kindness and smile left the best of impressions and I regret not being able to introduce myself (in fear of holding up the line behind me!). Would be nice to be able to thank you again and have an uninterrupted conversation.

You soiled your pants and I fell in love - w4m - 23 (Columbus)Date: 2010-12-06, 4:45PM ESTReply To This Post
We met at Douggy's party Saturday night. You tried to chug a bucket of old antifreeze and gin. Gross! At the halfway point you fell down, vomitted and started shaking. It was so adorable that I couldn't help coming over to help you up. We talked about Eastern European economic policies and the McRib sandwich for awhile. At some point in the night you and I started drinking vodka and we kissed. You fell down again and your head landed in Mr. Wink's litter box. Lol! Douggy and I (and Mike) had to pick you up and lay you out by the curb. We thought you needed to go to the hospital. You pooped yourself and we could smell it. Are you OK? Anyway, hope we get to talk about "string theory" again.

Yeah, I know "Grindin'", I even have that Clipse album. Apparently I didn't recognize them from the pic though, probably because the album sleeve only has cartoon pictures of them. Nor did I know they were "pfork music" - maybe I should read Pitchfork sometimes, I thought they were an indie rock site or something.
