Confessions of a Craigslist Junkee!

Hi there,

Have you ever turned on your computer and found yourself tuning to Craigslist for no reason at all? Well, I have... As a matter of fact, I was doing just that before logging in to my blog. I'm not sure why I do it. I'm not sure why you do it to. I just know if I do it, you do it to. What is it I am looking for? Nothing. What do I think I might find. Nothing. Have I ever admitted this to anyone before. No. I admit it to you because I know you won't judge me. If you do, you can just navigate from my page, but I don't think you will. I wouldn't.

Since I am looking for nothing, then what do I do when I get to the page. Hmmmm... Well, I check out the gigs, the services, sometimes just about anything in Tigard just to see what's going on and what exactly people are selling. I have to admit I check the personals too. Usually all of them, just to see who is posting and what they are looking for. I think it's funny when these people think they may actually find the person of their dreams on Craiglist. I'm not judging you, if you are the one posting. I just think you could probably find some sight that you actually pay money to, in order to find someone. If they are paying for it, you know they may be semi-legit. But if it's free, who's to say they are not a total wackjob. Now, I have responded to 3 ads in my life. Ironically, one of the guys I met is actually a friend of a dear friend of mine. It's funny, when I met him he said, "Oh my gosh, if you know our mutual friend, I can't bullshit you." I thought that was pretty funny. This is why I feel you should not try to meet people on Craigslist.

Also, remember the crazy guy that's now in jail because he killed the girl he met on Craigslist. Note to self, do not try to meet people on Craigslist. NOTED!

Ciao for now!
