Let me take you on a little journey…
Once upon a time, the other day in fact, Loony went to the mall to buy a video game.
As she walked into the store, she was immediately struck by the most beautiful man she had ever seen. Immediately, she envisioned them falling in love and spending the next 60 years together; playing video games forever and spinning in circles of the deepest love.
After a few moments of imagining the next six centuries of her life, Loony snapped to and realized that this man was asking her a question. “Can I help you find anything?” he asked.
Loony replied. Or at least, she wanted to. She wanted to shout from the rooftops how much she wanted to get him naked could eventually love him. Instead, Loony began asking questions about a game she was trying to find, and followed the guy to the counter where he typed in the name to see if they sold it. As he was typing, Loony saw the ring. The shiny, silver ring on the evil finger that marks its married territory.
Devastation. A complete and utter ending to their potential greatest love story of all time. In one second, the sun began burning a hole through Loony’s soul, and she felt as if this man had just broken heart. This beautiful connection that she believed they had just had, in reality, meant nothing.
Broken, Loony went ahead and settled on a video game she didn’t really want, and left. Head down, she walked all the way to the parking lot home and ate the last piece of cheesecake in the fridge as an act of mourning for love lost.
It really was a sad moment. I do tend to get a little carried away with my … fantasies.
Do you have a favorite NON-connection?
It wasn’t a video store, and he doesn’t wear his ring, but after a drink and thinking to myself that he was everything I’ve ever wanted, he let those two little words slip ~ “my wife” and I wanted to break his nose. But I didn’t do it….he even told me he wishes we met 20 years ago….sigh. Where is the time machine when you need it?
Ahh yes, I love that line “Wish I met you xx years ago…!” Okay, that helps. Thanks.
Most of my non-connections aren’t of the almost-romantic variety, but I do have a lot of them. They’re usually about possible friends. I get all worked up in my own mind when I run into people who seem like they’re perfect friend material, but when I do get to know them they turn out to be psychopaths who have really no great friend qualities. But I always make them up in my mind to be perfect, and I’m always so crushed when they reveal themselves. Or sometimes they really are great friend material, but they’ve already got so many friends that we never find any time to get together to do… friend things. You know?
I get it … though with friends, I usually make them out to be worse than they are (can you tell I don’t have many?).
OK, completely unrelated but yet intertwined. you once asked about being a valentines and i loved the idea because of its crazy brilliance! email me in the easily available address and i will explain my idea x
Easily available to the general public isn’t so much for me … I’m not good at treasure hunting
Why not email me at the here-it-is address?
I want to do it too!
When this happens to me, it’s usually not that he’s married; it’s that he’s gay.
Same here.
Ah, that could be a problem
If I ever return to the States and visit the West Coast, it’ll be to buy you some more cheese cake
That would probably top my list of coolest things that’s ever happened to/been done for me
sadly, it will have to wait until I have a job (for money) AND vacation (for time) – unless I don’t get a job by the end of March, in which case I will petition my parents to buy me a one way ticket to the US so I can look for a Job there. I still have relatives in CA, they might be able to set me up with something
I’ve said this before- I’m so so glad you exist!
You just brightened my day. Those gifs you find to go along with your stories are hysterical.
Thank you
I always wonder what you will think about each post 
Most of the time you articulate something I’ve already felt but couldn’t find the words to describe. And so many times you make me laugh HYSTERICALLYYYY. I’ll be sitting here falling off the chair doing that silly embarassing laugh a person does when something is so funny that they can’t control the laughter
haha well thanks!
Doesn’t eating cheesecake count as a happy ending?
Men: well, men are elusive. Cheesecake however never runs away…
Why yes, yes it does!
You’re asking for a favourite non-connection…? Sorry but I don’t have A favourite, I have MANY :’(
It’s okay, so do I … this was just the most recent
And the topper? He was married to another man. Looks like Lady Grave beat me to the punch.
Woah. Nice.
Well, let’s see. I was in high school, visiting my oldest brother in another state for the summer. We were at the mall and I was mooning over the guy selling clothes at I-don’t-even-remember-where. My brother calmly leaned over to me and said: “You realize he’s gay, right?” Needless to say, I was quite pouty (and maybe more than a little in denial).
Reading this and everyone’s comments lets me know I’m not the only fool out there.
Haha, poor thing!
Oh my gosh – I thought my sister and I were the only ones who fall in love with strangers! It happens often to me, I’ll be sitting across someone on the bus and by the time I get off I have imagined what our kids will look like, where we will live, all the places we will travel together and laying in fields of, um, beautifulness, reading books and making love. And then it is the greatest tragedy of all time when one of us gets off and I realise we will never see each other again.
Woah! I do the “fall in love on the bus thing & then die when they get off without confessing their eternal love for me” thing too!
haha! Brilliant…non-connection. I can’t think of one but yours was epic!
Heh thanks
