I'm not entirely sure, btway, whether this (reposting missed connections entries found on various websites) is actually funny or not. If not, feel free to delete the thread, obviously.

i'm leaning towards feeling it's slightly sinister but there certainly seems to be a 'market' for this sort of thing if the various free newspapers of London town are anything to go by. But while I'm not claiming to be the most socially adroit person on the planet, i just can't get this stuff at all. I mean, I didn't even realise one was allowed to talk to a stranger in an urban setting, never mind flirt with it. Still, whether sinister, silly or just downright inexplicable, all this stuff would make a great subject for a play or an arty film, I suspect.

Oh, I love Missed Connections. They're so odd.

You mean odd in a nice way? Well, each to their own. I still find it odd in a disturbing way. But that's nothing...

...for if putting an ad in the 'I Saw You' column of a local paper or on-line equivalent isn't alarming enough, I learned yesterday about this character who saw a gal on a train and created a website about her. What's more, he found her! The site's still up, it's this one here if you'd like to see how he did it. (It's got an update at the top, rather than at the bottom, somewhat confusingly. However, you can ignore the bid for secrecy as one of the London rags published what allegedly happened - amazingly the poor wretch did actually go out with him for a bit but now they are no longer together. They are apparently still friends but then I think I'd be scared not to stay friends someone capable of all that, frankly.)

Now despite all I said above, I may have to eat my words! Because I've found this on another board and it is really rather touching, I think:

I know this is a long shot, but I think I'm in love.

Downstairs in **** last night a beautiful drug fucked boy gatecrashed my friend's birthday. When I went to speak to him, my friend pulled - literally PULLED - me back and said: "Don't you dare speak to that drug fucked boy, haven't you got any self awareness?"

And when I turned around, he was gone.

Are YOU that drug fucked boy? Do you know that drug fucked boy? Where's my drug fucked boy?

He had (beautiful) brown hair, a grey hoodie and the most dashing dark circles round his eyes, surely planted by angels.

It's just so sweet, and so decadent. Bless.
