spamtastic

Well, it was only a matter of time. It always happens with craigslist. It's a regular feature of my real (secret) inbox. And now it's a fact of my experiment on okcupid.com.

I have been spammed.

Thrice spammed, in fact.

These spammers think they are clever. They add my profile to their "favorites," which naturally boosts my self esteem. I like the idea that I might be someone's favorite.

They have cute names, like "Kayla," followed by a number and some junk consonants. And when I click on that name, in hopes that maybe, just maybe, "Kayla" will be my favorite too, I am told there is no such account. Nothing. She's an electronic ghost, haunting my attempt to date virtually.

Fuck you, spammers. Go back to Nigerian bank fraud. Steal my money, but don't try to steal my heart.
