Love test

[helloreplace]

If you ever want to test your love for an object, list it for sale in craiglist with some photos and then have some folks over for in person viewings - you will become very protective of your item's fragile (imaginary) feelings.

your sofa is beautiful! the craigslist people are jerks.

also, that button in the original post? i love.

thanks! The girl who berated it actually loves it, she's just trying to get it for 300 bucks. But she comes from a really weird school of bargaining - if he said she loved it a ton but wanted to pay less, I'd be way more flexible with her on price. It's turning me into a witch!

What, your sofa is a big wussy? Can't handle criticism? I don't think I like your sofa at all!

(just kidding)

Hi...

[artgeek78]

I just stumbled on your LJ through a comment you made in the overheadinNY group. I found myself nodding my head as I read: "Haha! I did that with my old car when I sold it on Craigslist" and "So other grown-ups have totally regressive, irrational fears too?" (I seem to think that my porchlight scares off the boogeyman that *only* lurks on my front porch between 9 and 10 p.m. I swear it's haunted).

So anyway, I added you as a friend. Hope that's okay. I'm not sure if you don't post much, or if your journal's mostly friends only, but whenever you *do* post, it seems like I could learn something from you. :)

Thanks for saying hello, I've added you back - I post a little more than it appears from the outside, and lately I've been mostly friends only for no particular reason, honestly. But I am glad you said hello, and I hope your porchlight keeps fending off the boogeyman!
