Happy accident
Sometimes I truly believe that real life is far more amusing than anything I can make up. And so today, I offer you a true email exchange that has just happened to me. Word for word. Only names have been removed to protect the guilty.
It all started when I got an email from a complete stranger today. In it was a picture of two people I didn’t recognize… a guy and a girl. No text, no explanation. And clearly not meant for me as the people were complete strangers and the email address was unfamiliar. So I replied…
Me:
The guy in the picture is available if you’re interested.
Thanks
Me:
Now this is beautiful, making the best of a situation.[He] is an interesting guy, he has a steady job as a Carrier Coordinator, he is an accomplished musician and teaches the guitar, he is also a standup comedian. Quite a catch if you ask me.
What do you look like OneDateWonder, I think it only fair that you send a picture of yourself since you know what [he] looks like.
Me:
Fair is fair. Although I have no idea where you are, this is me. (I attached a picture to this email.)
Him:
Well, I’ll forward your information on to him and if he is interested, he’ll reach out to you.
Nice to meet you OneDateWonder.
Me:
Nice to meet you too. This is by far the most amusing thing that’s happened to me all day.
Now I recognize that is probably the last I’ll ever hear of that. But still, how funny? I know I’m still laughing.

FATE!!
Right. Except I don’t know where he lives, and we all know all well it went the last time I decided to fall for someone who wasn’t local.
Fingers crossed! Could be serendipity. Or, as you say, could be the end. But it’s a good story either way.
I’ll be surprised if it’s anything more than this, but my amusement is still boundless.
I agree you’ll never hear from him again.
But it’s still a great story!
With my luck, he’d be in prison somewhere. Heh.
Well, he may be… who knows?
Next email you get will be asking you to cash a check from his friend in Tibet.
Thus making him available to meet you.
peace

Ooooh, I should rush right to the bank. That sounds perfectly trustworthy.
when you least expect it, things happen!!!
Heh, things are always happening. That’s why I write about them!
It’s cause you’re a hottie!:) Even in your Pamana Top.
Me To Kim Forever…
Kim do drink! In a panama top. Just for you.
See…this is WAY better than my whole “Alaskan Lawyer” dude that sent me pics of himself. ha..ha.ha..
I’m curious though — who was the pic supposed to go to.
Why was it coming from a dude other than the dude in the picture.
And why was the dude in the pic with a chick?
That’s me — always the kurious kitteh!
Was supposed to go to someone with my first initial and same last name in his company. came from the dude who took the picture so he couldn’t be in it. And they were just friends. Now you know!
Not quite sure how to take Mike’s comment on that, but whatever.
Things happen for a reason, baby girl.
You know my thoughts on that one.
Mike’s a realist like me. I can appreciate that. (Also, he’s right so far.)
I think the guy e-mailing IS the guy in the picture.
Hmmm….
Well if it was, then he’s definitely not interested.
