With A Little Help From Our Friends - Part 3: Fun with Features
Everybody’s favorite Ignighteresses are back at it with another post as they dive into using Ignighter’s fun connection features. Check out the latest in their Ignighter adventures:
So we are getting familiar with the site, tweaking our profile and checking out the groups. We’ve even exchanged a few messages with other groups. What we’ve found is that some of the features on the site could have been quite useful to us in the past! Not sure what we mean?
On the Benefits of a Profile…
We once met a young man in a bar. He was charming in a sort of weird and awkward way, and for some reason in our drunken state we kind of dug that he was wearing his sunglasses at night. We thought he was funny, and when he asked us out for dinner later that week, we thought, why not? As the days went on, we started to mildly panic. What if we don’t know what he looks like without his sunglasses? What if he looks hideous without them? Well, the good news (and bad, obviously), was that he did, in fact, show up to dinner wearing said sunglasses- and he never took them off, citing “social experimentation” as the reason. Since this guy took the express train from Quirky Town to Freak-ville, there was clearly not going to be a layover in Bone City.
Perhaps, had he a handy online profile to reference, we would have known other important facts about him, such as his lack of alcohol consumption, and philosophies on “minimalism”. We hate minimalism. Our philosophy is everything, all of it. So, hopefully by us being as honest as possible, we will meet other guys like us, instead of ones who are clearly from another planet.
On “Digging”…
We’ve been told we were “dug” in a variety of ways. First grade, when Bobby Simone kicked us in the shins on the playground at recess. Fifth grade, when Garrett Norris told us we looked so much better now that we got our braces on and we cried hysterically. Eighth grade, when one of the Steinberg twins (we never could tell them apart), invited us into the closet for seven minutes. High school, when the following deep dialogue took place:
Him: “Haven’t you always wanted to kiss someone in the rain?”
Us: “Um, yeah, sure…”
Him: “Well, it’s raining.”
AND SCENE.
College, when no explicit expression of digging was necessary- but many, many shots of So Co lime were. And now the Void, where it’s all text messages and facebooks. Need we say more?
Clicking and letting someone know you are into them saves your legs (and ego) from bruises, puts an end to emo conversations, and spares your liver from suffering for your bad decisions . We dig the “dig”.
We’re quite looking forward to the “posting our plans” feature, which we plan to use right after some of us return from our tropical, warm weather vacations and some of us visit family in sunny Florida, and some of us have to work and reorganize our closets and will have JUST AS MUCH FUN as some of us!!! Until then, Happy Holidays to all of you! We love you and can’t wait to see you in 2009.
Good looking out ☺
