"Serbians stole my fingers!"

God, I'm tired. But that's what I get for staying out late on a school night.

Guess I've been a bit lax in my blog updates, but I've been busily working on a freelance project so I can get some much needed extra money in my bank account. Now that it's off, I can ease into the weekend. In fact, today I getting wined and dined at Peter Lugar's Steakhouse courtesy of the bosses -- bosses who drink more than I do and will ensure that I'll be drunk by 3pm.

Good times.

Speaking of good times, I finally got to meet up with my Craigslist "missed connections" girl. Rewind to January. While out of a date back on a very very cold January night, I met Holly and we seemed to get on very well (probably to the chagrin of my date). Unfortunately Holly departed before I got to slip her my number.

On a whim last month, I put a "missed connections" ad in Craigslist. It was an absolute shot in the dark with probably a 99.99999% rate of failure especially since I only had a smattering of info to go on: her name, physical description, and that she was wearing a Gryffindor scarf. Much to my shock, she saw the ad (or rather her roommate did). Bad news was that she was in a relationship, but we arranged to meet anyway, which was last night. Beverages were had, Middle Eastern food consumed, and I didn't get home till midnight.

The point of the story is that the system works. If you meet someone by happenstance and you think they're cute, give Craigslist a try. It might surprise you.
