...and I spent the next twenty minutes trying to figure out how I knew you. High school? summer camp? some random networking event? Thanks for keeping my brain occupied during an otherwise boring grocery shopping experience but we are complete strangers. Want to change that?

It seems that this posting was sufficiently vague to garner a variety of responses. Assuming the responders are men:
Man 1: "Which key food in Astoria? 30th Ave and 43rd St??"
Man 2: "yes I would...."
Man 3: "Very interesting......can you describe what I looked like or what I was wearing......? "
This makes me wonder how many men are out there waving to complete strangers? Why would they need more guidance? Did they wave at someone or didn't they? Unfortunately my missed connection was surprisingly nondescript. My only thought was "Oh he seems friendly" but that may be more due to the fact that he was waving. Also, I didn't know there was a Key Food on 43rd. Also, also I responded with that basic idea to each guy.

Man 2: sent me a nude photo.

N train - striped shirt and snapple
Here goes...the first new Missed Connection of the new and improved bloggety blog....
-----------
It seems that sleepy and relatively tipsy me was planning to post a missed connection. Written on a receipt in my wallet I found the following words: "12:45 waiiiiiiting ripped jeans, striped shirt adidas N to Astoria talked to guitar guy Snapple."
I can only hypothesize that while waiting over-long for the N train to Astoria I saw an attractive man (I hope) wearing ripped jeans, striped shirt and Adidas. I do recall the guitar guy. Although he was also riding the train he didn't match the description. So I assume, that you (hypothetical man described on Walgreens receipt) exchanged words with him. As for the Snapple, perhaps I'm proposing that we meet for sugary fruit drinks? Interested?
Oh wait, I was the short-haired short-statured girl wearing brown shirt and jeans trying not to dance to the music on my iPod.
Hmm, how shall you prove to me that it's you?

Ed Note- I accidently posted that I am 28 when in fact I am older.

Statues: No response. Too specific of a missed connection.

Ms. Connection moves to NYC
Dear loyal reader (Ha!),
Please forgive me for not missing any connections since 2005. I was inconvenienced by the fact that Craigslist hasn't quite made it to Bolivia...which is where I was. But now I'm back to the land of the free (and the Big Mac) and ready to accept the challenge that New York City presents...sort of. I will admit, I am intimidated by the volume of Craigslist postings, the size of the city and the scope of the crazy I could run into.
To complicate things further, I don't live along the L line, which would make my misconnected life much easier as evidenced in this Gawker article.
To close I would like to share a finding from my exhaustive research preparing for this new phase of the Ms. Connection blog: Sophie Blackall's by-oo-ti-ful illustrated missed connections.
