Apparently, via e-mail, I am alternately sassy, witty, wry, sexy, and, when I am really on a roll, perhaps even a touch alluring. So I try to run with the e-mail as long as possible. Helps me procrastinate the eventual fucking up of the situation which will occur upon having actual human interaction. (Cynical much?)
Thing is, I am always impressed when I receive e-mails in return which are also well-thought out, make effective use of compound sentences/polysyllabic words, and which, ultimately, make me smile (even better if they make me laugh). Negative points if they make me cry - well, at least if they make me cry for more than 5 minutes.
Anyway, what I realized today, in these odd protracted cyberspace (non-) mating (but very flirty) rituals of mine, is that apparently, the on-line equivalent of strutting around your tail feathers for the party you would like to impress has translated out to sending her a funny and/or appropos picture. Realize I have gotten a number of rather funny ones.
And, as I figure they are universally funny, thought I would share (plus, I want to see if I can actually use the "insert picture" function here):
CRO-DAMON (WITHOUT HIS CORNROWS - YIPPEE) - APPARENTLY PART OF HIS DEAL PUSHING BAKED GOODS FOR DUNKIN' DONUTS
THE HOFF (WITH PUPPIES) - THIS WAS ACTUALLY PART OF A MULTI-MONTH, MULTI-PICTURE EXCHANGE. THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE LESS, UMMM, UNUSUAL PHOTOS OF MR. H FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE. SUDDENLY, IT IS NOT SO SURPRISING WHY HE IS SUCH A HIT IN GERMANY... WELL ANYWAY....
AND THIS, WELL, IT JUST GOES WITHOUT SAYING. BRILLIANT!

That picture of Cro-Damon made my entire year, I think. What is with Hasselhoff and puppies? A friend (not a euphemism, really, a friend) sent me a picture of a presumably naked Hoff with puppies on him. The night terrors eventually subsided.
I agree that socializing via email is so much easier and less awkward than doing it in person. And there's nothing dreamier than a man with good sentence structure. I'm quick with a written quip whereas when I'm talking, I often stammer and/or burst into a fit of giggles. Which, despite what films tell you, is not at all charming amd more worrisome than anything.
Though...making you cry?! I'm horrified.
Random, but I had wanted to email you, yet I don't think you have your email address up (although I may be dumb and missing it. That's always a possibility). So if you wouldn't mind emailing it to me, that would be peachy! mallory.harlen@gmail.com
You do give the best email ever!! (I do belive I am the source of that comment . . .)
LuLu - in the interest of full attribution, you are indeed the source of that comment. Thanks for letting me excerpt it.
Faker - I appreciate the compliment, but in truth, I am in fact much goofier than I am smart. And really, in the end, that proportion works out pretty well for me.
Anytime CLC -- always fun to see it in "print"
