Well, no one seemed to have any unwanted run ins with red suited, chubby guys in Houston, but that doesn't mean this week was uneventful for Houstonians. This week's Craigslist Missed Connections were riddled with last-minute holiday shoppers and enthusiastic party goers. Now we seem to be focused on resolving to make 2007 as fun and angst free as possible. Might we make some connections too?

I've finally given up on B

You're not going to show up at my house, begging my forgiveness.

Your new found appreciation of my intellect, motivation, and music selection will not make you want "us" again. (These aren't things I generated for you - just things you did not see when you had me.)

I'm not taking you into 2007 with me...

T

Oy. Whatever prompted this resolution must have been bad enough that the poster felt necessary to broadcast it. Watch out now! We're going to hold you to it!

Downtown - San Jacinto St.

I was coming back to the office and you pulled up to me in a silver honda. I was in a jeep grand cherokee and you rolled your window down and put your sunglasses simultaneously turning up the music. We met at the light in front of the Houston Center but I was so busy I was unable to get your attention.

But ironically not so busy that you didn't notice every single thing she did? Stop kidding yourselves, craigslisters! You are too cripplingly shy to get an attractive person's attention. Let's resolve to at least take steps wave, wink or walk up to the objects of our affection. 2007 might at least be a bit more amorous than '06.

Lady in Walmart

You were the lady in Walmart with the low cut blouse, you bent over to look on the lower shelf and then when you looked up and saw me looking down your blouse you just smiled and kept bent over so I could get a good look. Drop me a line so we can talk about meeting.

If this is some sort of Wal-Mart mating ritual we aren't familiar with, maybe we should consider shopping there through 2007.

iso - cute bearded guy from the Best Buy parking lot (today)

You smiled at me when that van was taking forever to back out and I smiled back. You should have talked to me man! Your beard is too awesome, haha.

PS - No offence to anyone but seriously, I'm entirely not intrested in random dudes emailing me. Also, this was a big ridiculous shaggy indie mariner-like beard not a redneck whatever deal. If you know this isn't you, then you know this isn't you.

There you have it. Let's resolve to only e-mail when appropriate and speak up so we don't have to endure an embarrassing anonymous post on craigslist, mmmmkay?

Let's all resolve to kiss whoever we love, like or lust after this New Year!
