So, today I had an awesome experience while wasting time at the library, which has thus compelled me to start a blog, it is the perfect place to vent a story like this one. But, before I relate the story I must give some background to fully comprehend the hilariousness of the story. My siblings are (or were when they were still single) really into online dating. I have always been against it as I am naturally social and figure I could find a mate without using technology, but... I caved and joined a couple sites. I quickly discovered why I had avoided it for so long.. yes I am talking of the freaks. Its full of them. I happened to meet this one guy who shall remain nameless, but we started chatting on MSN, and then I lost interest in online dating crap and stopped checking the sites and talking to people I met on there.
So, here we are now, approximately 2 years later, and I am here at the library being a faithful friend to my roommate who needed to come here to study so I came with her, not having any homework or studying really to do, but I brought movies to watch and figured I could be happy for a couple hours. While watching "You've got Mail" (a favorite) I decided to sign into MSN which I don't do often because not many of my friends use it anymore and I'm not usually on my computer long enough to carry on any meaningful conversation. Next thing you know, someone starts to message me, someone I didn't recognize and we quickly remedied that, and began our conversation. It was ok, but nothing special or truly interesting to keep my interest, but he was persistent. In his persistence he kept asking for a recent picture of me. He finally got my last name and looked me up on facebook... ah facebook, the stalker's ultimate tool... anyway, after looking at my profile for a minute he quickly signed off MSN and blocked me on facebook. Wow right?! I was surprised, I mean, I am by no means repulsive... or ugly... I would say I'm a hottie.. I mean.. who doesn't love a busty, feisty, redhead who is full of personality?? Hilarious right? So, in my retaliation I wrote him a note on facebook, it might have been a little too mean, but I didn't really want to talk to him anymore.... he did not look like my type or even a good guy, and he hates Las Vegas... HUGE strike in my book. I digress, I apologize. I think more than anything I was shocked by his harshness, it was unnecessary and truly unkind. He's lucky I have lots of self-esteem, that could have hurt. I thought the whole thing was too funny, and had to share its absurdity with everyone. Here is the message I sent to him (in case you would like another laugh):
thanks bud... that was real nice of ya. you could have at least waited till tomorrow to give me the shaft when I would have already forgotten about you. no wonder you are still single, no one good enough to please your eye? lame. Man, this is too funny. Thanks for giving me and my roommate a good laugh while we are here at the library going crazy with boring homework... haha. we didn't realize that boys like you actually existed.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
Hope this put a little smile on your face, because it really put one on mine and made the whole wasting-time-at-the-library thing worth it.
