share and tell

i've had a few requests from you people to post some of my written "work". early 2007 i came up with some pick-up lines, written in the voice of a neurotic person. although only slightly neurotic myself [i think all women are] i did my best and think they're kinda clever, but then again, i'm biased. so here are three of my favorites from this little collection...

what time do you have to be back in heaven? i'm not suggesting you're dead or that you look dead or even that you believe in an afterlife. i was just referencing the widely accepted notion that heaven [regardless of religion] is a utopia. and since a utopia is a perfect place and everything in it is perfect, i just thought you'd be from there. you got time for some falafel?

you must be a light switch, because every time i see you, you turn me on. and i'm not so sure that's a good thing, what with global warming and all. i'm not so sure it's bad thing either, but i try to leave the lights off as much as possible and definitely if i'm not in the room at the time. i even shut down my computer every night. you'd be surprised how the little things can make a big difference. have you used those energy-efficient light bulbs?

if you were words on a page, you'd be what they call "fine print." now, that's not to say you are the much maligned and oft-ignored small-print disclaimer that the legal department of many corporations slip in toward the bottom of their ads to stipulate the limitations of their offers. i was just using a little wordplay with "fine."
