I am obsessed with classifieds. . .more the idea of them rather than actually using them for their original purpose. I have a strong pull to the “I Saw You” ads, but those are far and few to come by. Many of them are your average “this is me, blah blah blah”, but sometimes real jems are buried in all the other crap. example:
this ad was in the paper for over 4 weeks! i wonder why.
what gets me are the typos, irregular word use, it’s almost as if these weren’t even proofread before sending them off to be pusblished. Or is it the newspaper overlooking these errors? Either way, if you are going to spend the time looking for love, do you reallly want people to have a bad first impression of you because of your inability to spell first grade words???
With a sense of humor, you can never go wrong!
but honestly, would you ever answer a classified?? for me it’s on the same level as internet dating. . .way too creepy! and yet thousands of people find each other everyday thru these means. am i the alien or is everyone else?

who answers classifieds? MY SISTER!
carly has found her boyfriend, her job, her apartment, and her kitty through the providence craigslist. i must also add, she’s happier now than she has been in ages. i believe this just proves the fact that’s she’s out of her mind, but kudos to her!
