So for the last few weeks I've been bored. Horrifically, unspeakably bored. And when I get bored, I get insomnia thrown in free of charge. Since I like to write, I thought maybe I'd scour Craigslist for an email buddy, preferably one roughly my age who could use complete sentences. Well, it's been a week now. The ad I posted got a few nibbles, consisting mostly of "omg lollllz u rite long emails." And I can't read or respond to that stuff. It makes my head hurt. One person told me, "wow your funny." Yes, my funny. What about it? Is it showing?
Yeah, I sound like a snob. But trying to keep up an email dialog with someone who possesses the spelling and grammar skills of a first-grader is like trying to hold a conversation with someone who's sprouting a second head out of their left shoulder. I suppose it's possible and may even be rewarding, but I can't focus on what they're saying long enough to find out.
Which led me here. The idea is still the same... meet and communicate with people who have a sense of humor and can express that in writing. Kill some time that would otherwise be spent staring at my toenails.
Of course, this could be the internet equivalent of the drunken one-night stand with a crazy girl; I could wake up tomorrow, groggy and dehydrated, check my browser history, and gasp in horror as I realize I've started a blog. Only time will tell.

You looked for complete sentences and grammar champions on craigslist? Did you think to check MySpace? :D
Maybe you should have bypassed Joseph Heller and called yourself Diogenes.
