The spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Richmond… or at least some people like to pretend it is, even as they subtly eviscerate all they encounter. The holiday season will do that to you, though–reduce you to a frustrated ball of rage and repression.
The spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Richmond… or at least some people like to pretend it is, even as they subtly eviscerate all they encounter. The holiday season will do that to you, though–reduce you to a frustrated ball of rage and repression. And those repressed urges towards angry venting are often very close to the similarly repressed urges towards passionate acts of sexual release. Maybe all of these realities can combine to explain the increased level of bitterness, frustration, and “toxicity” unleashed in RVA’s Craigslist Missed Connections over the past week.
Either way, I hope you all get your rocks off over this extended weekend and return home full of love and joy, prepared to celebrate the New Year!
sidewalk: still waiting on wings – w4w (sidewalk cafe)
Just a quick note of thanks to the lovely folks in the booth behind us tonight at sidewalk:
Your Christmas spirit filled the hearts of many, myself included, with the kind words of love you shared (so thoughtful of you to speak aloud for all to hear!) I thought perhaps I was listening to a choir of angels sing, but nay, it was you.. fair lady, who doth complain for 30 minutes straight over chicken wings and your many, many, MANY years of work in the service industry!
In the true spirit of Christmas my comrads and I wanted to give thanks to you, for voicing your complaints so generously. Above the cheerful banter I proclaim my adoration of your words that are reminiscent of my yonger years working in corporate restaurants on endless wing nights, you sincerely brought me back to the good ol days! You oh so politely asked if I did indeed enjoy your complaining to which I replied a definitive “Yes!” However, I believe the message was poorly received as you, upon leaving, inform incoming patrons of the toxic nature of the cunts sitting behind you (but I know you surely couldn’t have meant it for we locked eyes before you departed, probably to spread your good holiday cheer elsewhere, and though it were only for a split second, your icey gaze pierced through my soul with a look that could give the devil chills).
After a night full of laughs, many of which we can attribute to you, you beacon of light.. all I care to do is show admiration of your unrelenting showering of positivity to any within earshot! Happy holidays, bitch!
Sincerely,
The “toxic cunt” sitting behind you
[Or, if you prefer, there’s also this equally harsh response…]
sidewalk: where trogs collide… – w4w
AWWWW SNAP!
Sarcastic much? Don’t hold back girl, tell us how you really feel in the most basic way possible! Look out, Pulitzer; you better make room for this bitch!
The most paradoxical element of your ad is how much you sound like a toxic troglodite cunt. Bravo!
work friend – m4w
We work together in an office trailer. You’re at one end and I at the other. I see each other several times a day and every time it puts a smile on my face. I think you are gorgeous and very sexy. You have legs that go on for days. I would ask you out but I’m not sure how to with out making it weird in here. I always love it when you wear those “ass- kickn” boots. You probably won’t see this, but if you do,and you’re interested in a good time, tell me that you kicked some ass with them and wink at me when you go to get your copies from the printer.

Wow I do not know what to say, but I can say that the gentlemen working out today from like 1:50 to 3:00pm was just gorgeous. We were in the sauna and you were listening to your music and I ask what time it was, I was in the highlighter green and yellow if you recall, but I really wanted to connect. I just found you so attractive I really hope I see you again. If you think this is you reply with what color underwear I had on before I left, because I know you remember 🙂 hope to hear from you.
Cutie at Ten Thousand Villages – w4w – 26 (Carytown)
age : 26 body : athletic height : 5’5″ (165cm) status : single
So I was shopping the various Carytown stores when I happened upon Ten Thousand Villages a couple Saturdays ago. As I opened the door, there you were, standing there. It was as if there was a glow of an angel surrounding you. I was drawn to you like a victim to cupids arrow. Your smile is ingrained in my memory like the first day of school. Your golden hair reminds me of fields of grain.
As I nervously approached you, I was able to muster up the courage to mutter the words: “I like your sweater.” And your glasses magnified your blue eyes.
my tenchi, my beloved – m4w – 24 (bristow)
age : 24
C.C.P. are your initials.
It was a tragic moment in both our lives. nothing has been right since. my head was foggy and I searched for you, in my absence some one hurt you and I could not see through wars vicious haze. In mental sickness I raged at you, unable to control myself or my thoughts, I blamed you when really it was I who had become the monster. I said things that were untrue, and you retaliated by cutting my heart open and then leaving me.
It is only in hindsight that I see what we could have become, our lives were on the edge of romance and passion tenchi, but I see that you are better off with out me. In all the times we’ve spoke, no matter how briefly, it is you who captivates my dreams. I have not looked for you, and have no way to contact you. though I bet my sister would pass a message if I asked.
I only wish and hope that you are able to pick up the pieces enough to believe in yourself the way I will always believe in you. You have the power to change the world.
I regret everything about my life since that year Tenchi. I miss your words, no one can move me the ways yours once did, and my life will be dim as my muse lay suffering waiting his final night with out your sweetness. If I could, I would do anything for the life we once could have had. But I know you have nothing but hate for me in your heart, and who can blame you.
I go to our imagined place in my dreams almost everynight. it’s sad there, quiet, colorless. The oceans waters are still and unnerving. where there was once a roaring fire of the sunset, there are now chunks of ice.
I love you, I will always love you, come what may. Those words, that once brought great joy, now carry a different weight in my heart.
I wish you the very best of luck my love, I know you will do great things, I only wish there was some way I could be apart of it.
Good bye my love, you take with you my last light, my true passions, my heart of hearts.

M. from Denver,
I hope you made it to Richmond alright. You were doing fine on your own, but I’m glad I could help nonetheless. Everything you needed was in the book already. I probably should have waited to make sure your vehicle ran correctly before leaving, but I wasn’t fully awake.
If you weren’t from so far away with so far left to go, I’d probably have seen if you wanted to grab some food or something, but regardless, helping a pretty girl with her car makes me feel like a SUPERHERO, only without having to have a secret identity and nemeses. Especially when I don’t know how to car.
Safe travels,
D. from Augusta
Victoria… a year ago – m4w – 24 (Chesterfield)
age : 24
OK so about a year ago we met on CL and we met up one night and got drunk and then I left in the middle of the night. I didnt talk to u for a few days and then lost your number,fb,emails and everything and I kick my ass all the time for that! I can’t remember where u live or where u worked. But I had a blast with you and I haven’t stopped thinking about you since that night. If you ever see this please shoot me and email so we can connect again. Be nice to hear from you. Tell me what we were drinking and what you looked like. Hope to hear from you darlin.
You – w4mw – 23
I know I’m not alone in that I am plagued frequently by emotional attachments to relative strangers. I love that CL has provided a place to act on those emotions, at least in some small, hopeful way. I want to talk to people like myself, who find themselves caught up by the people that they witness on the streets, to the point wherein they dwell on them when they are trying to sleep at night. I want to talk to people that are a little bit desperate, who find their inner selves howling for some who-knows-what that is missing from their lives. To people who don’t know what to do with these emotions, and sometimes do the wrong thing, just to do SOMEthing. I want to feed satisfaction to those people, and be fed.
oh I’m bitter – m4w
I can’t believe that you found my last post.
Then asked me, just to blow me off, yeah that pissed me off.
of course I find somebody that feels like a match to my puzzle, and I’m the only one who feels that way.
I don’t feel, I never do, but when I do, its either extreme happiness or torrential anger.
You are just right amount of bitch to my level of asshole.
Trust me, I’m very good at being an asshole, because of shit like this.
Point of this story.
I can’t get you out of my fucking head.
