Lost and Found


We found this at a Starbucks outside of Houston. It appears to be someones list of potential romantic candidates. I submitted it to Found Magazine, but couldn't resist posting about it here.

Candidate #1 (Terry) - she hasn't met him yet, but he is an attorney who "takes control" - not a good sign.

Candidate #2 (Bob) - she also hasn't met yet, but sent her a mushy email from Portugal, AND - he's bald, apparently important to note that.

Candidate #3 (Keith) - he has not made much of an impression on our author, she knows who he works for, that he plays golf and (I think) is in a band. She doesn't seem impressed.

Candidate #4 (Ted) - OK, this one made even less of an impression, he's just an architect.

Candidate # 5 (Kevin) - he somehow gave the author the impression that he doesn't like Jesus. This in itself is a bit odd. I can see someone saying, "I'm not very religious" or "I'm an atheist" or "I don't like to discuss religion", or even, "I don't like the Christian religion", but for some reason "I don't like Jesus" seems a bit strange. AND he's never in Kerrville for goodness sakes - definitely a NO.

Candidate #6 (Rick) - OH - this one is from e-harmony, he has to be good, right? Apparently not, forget the personality and looks, he has bad teeth - AND he ate off his knife! No second date for you!

Candidate #7 (Mark) - a guy from San Antonio who she met at Rice Fest, hmmm, sounds like a long distance relationship. Oh - an electrician/stalker - not good, honey, not good at all.

Candidate #8 (Kevin) - clearly her favorite so far. Not only is he a cutie-pie, but they have the most chemistry together. Can she get over the fact that he is 24 and NOT ESTABLISHED? Maybe he is just too young.

Candidate #9 (Sammy) - the dentist loser. This does not bode well, but she apparently went out with him 4 TIMES, even though he is short! Maybe he paid. Perhaps he should not have told her he is on anti-depressants.

Candidate #10 (Mike) - a male nurse who is involved in government disaster relief who she met at Rice Fest. Why did she feel the need to put "male nurse" rather than just "nurse"? He speaks 5 languages and is a world traveler! Does she put liberal down in the notes as a bad thing? In what way is he "becoming aware of God"? AND, what did he say/do to give her that impression. Again - not something I can see someone saying directly in conversation.

Well, that's it. I didn't notice until the last one that there are exactly 10 guys on the list - I hope it's not her top 10. All things considered, I think she should call Mike.

This is very cool! This is definitely a benefit of being on the road. I doubt that I could find something similar with my infrequent trips outside of MS campus.

That's hilarious! Love your comments! My hunch is that while on a sobering, caffeine high, she deliberately left the list behind in hopes of persuing a "fresh" start in her search for Mr.Right.
If this is the case we'll hope that:
1.the list doesn't find it's way back to her.
2.her next list will not resemble the last one.
3.maybe she'll create a dating resume and "screen" prospects---maybe even a marketable computer program.
Desperation is the mother of invention?? :)sm

Oh, that is hilarious! We just got a little sneak-peek into that person's psyche. I shuddered a little...
