so here's a good one for you...
a couple weeks ago, uncle swedish chef told me that his friend had a friend who had a friend who's a nice Christian guy looking for a nice Christian girl, and that when she heard that she immediately thought of me. i found this both humorous since we've only met once (and in passing at that), and fishy seeing as she's my age and single. i asked him what was wrong with the guy and he said nothing, just that he's too conservative for johanna. i blew it off because my uncle doesn't even know him, and i don't even know johanna. but then a few days later my uncle sent me a message on fb telling me that the guy is on there and telling me to look him up. i blew it off because as if it would be anything other than me being a stalker of some guy i'll never meet.
but then yesterday johanna sent me a message asking me if i had contacted him, saying 'he may or may not be expecting it. :) ' i told my mother, who promptly came over to the computer and helped me stalk him. he looks nice enough, with pictures from a mission trip, a football game, and some national guardness (amongst other things), but i didn't want to contact him because i didn't know if he was actually interested or if it was more that this whole long chain of people was deciding for him. my mother agreed, but said that i shouldn't close any doors. i assured her i wouldn't and sent a message to johanna saying that i'm not the type to initiate, but that if he wanted to contact me he could. she messageed me back, simply saying, 'he's haaandsooomme!'
cut to ten minutes ago and i just found a message in my 'other messages' folder from yesterday (who the heck decides what gets into 'messages' and what gets into 'other messages'? and why doesn't it tell you when you have 'other messages' except when you go to your messages? stupid system.) yes, it was from my uncle's friend's friend's friend (or maybe i got it wrong - he said 'my friend's friend's coworker [johanna, who's] apparently your friend,' which isn't right either since i don't know really know her - haha). he sounded as clueless as i about how to go about this, especially since, as he said, i'm very well-hidden on the internet and thus not very stalkable. :)
anyway, so basically i have no idea where any of this is going, or if it'll ever go anywhere. now i just have to figure out what to say in reply. best not to overthink it, i know. and probably also best not to try to write anything at midnight thirty. so tomorrow it is.

This all sounds so exciting!!! I can't wait until you update on this. He sounds like a pretty stalk-worthy guy :-D.
Fun!
So besides being handsoooommme and conservative, which really don't tell us much, what is he like?
And of course, for your mom, the most important question: does he want kids?????!!!! :)
you didn't even tell us what he said :P
well, that was about it. just about this crazy chain and that he can't find out anything about me, but that he heard that i'm 'kind, smart, purty, and a woman.' :) and that he doesn't know if i'm 'brief or digitally loquacious,' so he ended there.
so kim, yeah, that's all i know. (and nope, i don't even know if he wants kids.)
i did message him back this afternoon saying that i don't know how to sum me up, other than first and foremost a Christian, and second and secondmost either a tolkien nerd (but not to the extent of costumes and knowing elvish) or a twins nut. i also told him that if he wants to friend me so he can see a little more about me, that would be fine.
i like that he used the word loquacious
i liked that too :)
as did i (and i told him so)
That's what I was going to say...the loquacious thing :-D. He sounds like a wordsmith, which is right up your alley! :-D
As Linda says, "There's nothing sexier than a man who knows his way around words!" :) (so true...)
that's an excellent way of putting it :)
oh, and i did warn him about my propensity for using emoticons
