Ok so life has truly gotten desperate. Let me rephrase: Gloriously Desperate. (Sounds more glam and less like a shitty situation lol) Against the common suggestion to not do this, I went to good ol' Craigslist for the sake of my sanity as a woman with babies and limited adult interaction. I posted an ad for a best friend! Yes, it sounds lame and I completely understand, but here's the glorious part: I'm not alone! lmao Reading emails from multiple people was the most beautiful sigh of relief I've ever gurgled while chugging through my nightly glass of Sangria! Ever.
So I had a few creepy replies who wanted me for the "couple" (ew son, no bueno), I had a few ladies who simply didn't have anything in common with my lifestyle (being a mom), I had 1 who was actually a classmate from back in the day (that was cool because we never hung out in school but have quite a bit in common) and then there's this one chick that I'm sure will be the bomb as a friend! Granted, she could really be a he or she could be crazy. If she's either of the two, I've already come to the sad realization that I might be comfortable with the suggestion of pretending she is who she said she was and we can be email buddies. Kind of like a temp until the real deal walks through the door type of thing lol. I'm almost certain she's not crazy, or a man, or any combination of both. If she is, she's doing a damn good job at being a mom in her 20s, I tell ya! I guess that's not too difficult though if your Google game is on haha
I swear this is one of the strangest things I've ever done and I'm so excited! This is like a blind date but not really because it's not a date? It's like a blind conference meeting. Yes. Maybe even an interview, but like a dual interview. I could think she's amazing and she could think I'm a loser. That's ok though! I got DMs for days! Ok, let's be clear; I'm really not trying to go out and meet a bunch of these people because I don't have time. So if this lady ain't the one, and neither is my ex classmate (weird term but you know what I mean), I'm done. I'm getting a pet fish and telling that floating heifer all of my deepest darkest thoughts. I can cry in her fish bowl and she won't even notice, I can drink wine until I pass out mid-sentence and she won't judge me, she could show me when my make up is fucked up, if I order Chinese, she'll always share anyway so I'd only need to get one meal, she couldn't baby sit, of course, but I wouldn't need to leave the house if she's right there with me! For the record, this is plan C, not my primary plan of action but it sounds quite tempting the more I think about it.
But anyway, of course I will share how this goes if I'm still alive after this meet and greet. That's my optimistic perspective: I will leave alive.
So hype!
