Ode to lemonbread

I'm shy. This is my hello.

Logging onto Lit out of boredom
Looking for something interesting to read.
Same old stuff except more catty cat fights
in between the vomit of politico threads.

I stay. I opine. I throw change into the time dump.

Then out of the corner of my eye
I see an interesting name.
Thinking a misspelled troll handle
I realize it's more apt than that
alluding to the sweet and tart.

I stay. I watch it pop up again and again.

Avatars appear and I try not to creep
but I look forward to the new angle
on that sweet, realistic beauty.
This one's a smile! My heart!
Every post she's looking right at me!

I stay. I watch. I slap other posters thinking she will notice.

Surely she has a man, I think.
Then no, a girl, she says.
Aw, then she likes girls, I think.
But no! She likes both! And more!
All kinds! Me too!

I stay. I creep trying not to creep.

How to talk to a gal you can't touch?
Words fail me. I delete this thread five times.
I delete private messages a dozen more.
I try to go on, slapping politicos,
throwing change into the time dump.

I go. Real life is where it really happens, bro.

But I can't help thinking back on that sweet smile
that disposition so laid-back and self-assured.
Nobody who ever wanted a chance
kept silent when they could have spoken.
Hello, I am fond of you.


:rose::rose::rose:

This is the sweetest thing ever. I'm blushing. You totally have to pm me now.

I almost didn't log in tonight! So glad I did.



Awwww.

it's brave! if lemon likes him, it'll be good - if she didn't then it would feel creepy. but putting himself out there on the line is a brave move.

aw :)

I thought it was sincere. Didn't strike me as creepy at all. And looking at her response it seems like he was right about her.

I've been grinning since I read this thread- it's just so cute.
 
Personally, If I were Lemonbread, I'd have preferred a PM rather than a trumpet fanfare, but, he gets 11 out of 10 for earnest and full effort, complete with appropriate teenage angst. It's a brave man who puts his balls out there swinging in the breeze for everyone to see. :rose:

The best swinging balls belong to the fifty year old guys. Not the twenty somethings.

Just sayin.

:cool:

I quite like the fanfare. The whole internets should think I'm wonderful, right?!
 
guess.

and feel free to take your time doing it. i'm off to conquer the world.
 
This is like those jumbotron proposals. Or any public proposals at all. Or Milhouse getting up on a cafeteria table and singing to Lisa.

Cute in theory, awkward in practice.

I didn't find it awkward at all.

Sure, and half the time the girl actually says yes to the guy when he proposes.



Having said that, I don't actually find your point of view on much of anything to be worth much, so there's that.
