Disconnected in Brooklyn: Runny Noses Can Be Sexy, Right?

February 8th, 2009 · No Comments

It’s Sunday and time for our weekly Missed Connection. This weeks involves literature and a runny nose:

Months ago, you asked me about my book, and I asked you for a napkin – w4m
When you’re a girl, it’s kind of the introduction from Hell. Cute guy reading a book (means he might actually be smart) asks me about the book I’m reading (means we might actually have an intelligent conversation) and all I can do is cup my hand under my nose and ask you for a napkin. You gave me one from Starbucks, and I swear I haven’t been that embarrassed since I hit puberty. (Even though it was the weather, shit happens and there’s nothing we can do to prevent it) I was blonde, and my book was about Victorian brothels in Chicago. (still haven’t finished reading it, I got distracted by “The Road.”) I don’t remember what you look like, but you were friendly and seemed like someone who could cater to my spirit and creativity. I swear, I’m not normally that awkward, but when your nose is a leaky faucet and a seriously attractive man confronts you, it’s hard to be confident. I hope you read these things…What were you reading again?

Good luck.
