02.23.06 Elissa: wow, 73 bryans on facebook and I guessed the right one. I scare myself sometimes. OK, so you were the only philosophy major, but just the fact that I knew to look on facebook from your IP address, I mean, that’s impressive right? Yes, we computer geeks are clever little people.
So how’d you find my site anyway? Searching through the poor people taking Philosophy of Mind this semester?

02.23.06 Bryan: Aw, that’s pretty amusing that you found me like that. I’d probably do the same thing if I got a random comment on a journal though. Not that I’m any expert at doing the IP search thing on facebook.

Anyway, I didn’t mean for it to be any big secret about who I am. I actually left another message with my e-mail, because I thought to check back to it again today and realized that I hadn’t put anything. It was pretty spontaneous for me to leave a comment like that. I just really love to teach philosophy and I couldn’t help but make a comment.

It’d be easier on my to go along with the “looking through philsophy of mind roster” thing, but that doesn’t really make any sense anyway. I don’t do a whole lot of random browsing on here. I was on your profile entirely on purpose.

I work at the Busch Convenience Store, and the other night I was in charge of the store for the night and I happened to be on register when you checked out. I know I’ve seen you in there a lot, and every time I see you I think you’re really really really attractive. As soon as I was done with that transaction I went to have my dinner, and we have a computer in the back. So I just thought I’d look you up on facebook, since I couldn’t help but remember your name flashing up as “Elissa”… It’s a really cool name, and not that common so it stuck in my head.

So, I promise it’s just a very innocent kind of thing. I don’t do that very often, it’s just that I work there full time right now, so you just happen to be the one person I facebooked. I wouldn’t have probably said anything else to you, because I don’t like making anyone uncomfortable, but since you took the time to look me, I figured I should take the time to not only write you back, but give you the absolute truth.

02.23.06 Bryan: Please excuse any typos I made… It’s exceptionally late and I did not proofread!

02.23.06 Elissa: really? … really? that’s so sweet : )
I thought your picture looked kinda familiar. I do buy a lot of junk food. Need my sugar fix, especially since Dunkin’ Donuts has been out of hot chocolate the past two weeks :O So wrong.
Anyway, glad you looked me up, that message definitely made my day : )

Bryan: Really! … Really!

Such a vague way to describe it, I know. It’s so very difficult to say what makes someone physically attractive to another person. I know that I have a thing for hair, and I like girls who aren’t too glamorous, and I like girls who are petite. But basically, you’re one of the most attractive people I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m really not kidding at all!

Of course, the most important thing is always a personality, and I am well aware that we don’t know each other, so I’m not exactly coming on to you right now. I am very level-headed about these things. From your website you do seem like a fun person, so I’ll IM you later if that’s okay. I was kind of worried that I’d weird you out, but I was contemplating the other night about whether or not people actually like brutal honesty. I guess you might as well be as honest as you can though. Because even if lying can advance some relationships further than they might normally go, if it’s based on lies then it’s just fluff anyway.

Well anyway, yeah, you can probably tell that I majored in philosophy from these messages. I can just go off on things. I could have kept going with any of these thoughts.

By the way, I spent every weekend as a kid watching Star Trek: NG and Deep Space Nine. I watched Voyager up to a point also, and sometimes the original even though it’s often ridiculous. haha.
