It's Only Ever Really About A Redheaded Local Girl Who Leaves Great Comments On My Posts And Can Pick A Gardening Hat Without Any Help

It's about time.

I was wondering why you were posting pics of all these other hot, well-known redheads and leaving me out.

Because I'm the hottest of all.

And that hat is super-awesome.

Glad you recognize this and are sharing it with the world.

Oh I post all the great ones I can find of you. You better be looking out for a long lost twin sister with a Ukrainian accent for me because I would hate to see her pass me by.

How can I settle for anyone who isn't at least 80 percent like you? You crack me up and I know we would be great friends in the real world. I apologize for not recognizing you enough because you are one of my hugest tumblr crushes...and Big Daddy don't joke about crushes.

Huh. How oddly specific.

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

That has always been the joke with these redhead posts. Glad you get it.

Kyna said...

Erik, I am both odd and specific. Nice to meet you.

I've got a lot of cousins, Cal, LOTS. But none of them are redheads.

And most of them might frighten you, I'm the tame one in my family you know!

I would say 'HOOK A BROTHER UP' but who wants to settle?

Super-Duper ToyBox said...

now what does she really have that i don't ;D ...someday i'll find a girl who likes the boyish, plucky type :)

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

Just promise me that you will not settle my friend. We may die alone but we will have FABULOUS toy collections. I mean WORLD CLASS collections.

I've mentioned to Mur (dragon's squeeze he dosen't get to see as much as ne needs to!) about wearing a redhaired wig...she dosen't understand my obsession with redheaded wimmin'! Make sure your gf dosen't bite..ouch. :)

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

Tell her that Redheaded woman are forces of nature. Being around them is like being in the storm. If they don't bite then you get damaged by all the debris they leave in their wake. Have you ever seen THE QUIET MAN? Maureen Ohara is my kind of woman. That is the kind of magnificent woman that is worthy of my time and attention.

Drake said...

Love the Quiet Man, Maureen maybe the first redhead i feel in love with!

Oh yeah, I get the point of the post titles, I'm just saying this one is more specific than the rest.

Lucille Ball once said it was the duty of every red-blooded male to fall for a red headed woman at some time in their lives.

I can say I've met quota. My first crush on a girl named Jess back in high school. She had red hair but hated it and dyed it black. Hence the appeal faded.

In college I had a close friendship with a girl named Lydia who had red hair in a bob cut and pleasantly plump physique. She was studying Celtic runes and last I heard was participating in a dig in Ireland. I guess if I had any pictures of her I could post I'd title it "Its Only Ever about An Ample Archeologist Adventurer with Auburn Adornments"

You should draw her from memory. It would be interesting to see the result without anything actual to compare it too.

My first crush was on Wendy Hutchinson. Auburn gold hair, smartest girl is class and once smashed a kid's face into the water fountain after he hip checked her out of the way. She was a hellcat. I watched grown men get 'two for flinching' because they felt she was going to punch them. She was magnificent.

I drew some pictures of her face for my blog back in June

However since the internet makes the world smaller, I'm reluctant to post the drawings I made of her curvy figure since she was sensitive about her size (having nearly crushed my windpipe during a hug didn't help matters much)

We had been neighbors for a couple years but it was during a party at a friend's place where I suffered a dizzy spell after having a strobe light shone directly in my eyes that she helped me to the kitchen with the open window with the Four Below Temperature outside. During that time I recognized just how kind, gentle, patient, wise and intelligent she was. We had similar interests, many mutual friends, and I much to my own surprise found she was actually nice to look at. Its possible that if senior year hadn't been as busy as it did that we might have gotten closer.

I hate thinking of the ones who got away.
