Cousins, best friends, roomates...

As cousins, best friends and current roommates in Taipei, Taiwan... this blog chronicles the everyday happenings of our (incredibly exciting) lives, providing us with an excuse to talk about ourselves, an opportunity to look busy when we need to, and more importantly to remind us of the jokes we keep forgetting.

Classy p.o.f. photos - PART 1



WHO is the lucky girl?  It could be you!!


Text conversation


Todd:  If we jive naturally, THEN I'll go out of my way to make you swoon :)
 
Claire:  As long as you don't mean jive in the literal sense.  That would be awkward.
 
Todd:  Neither literally or euphemistically speaking :)
 
Claire:  What a relief... maybe.
 
Todd:  Haha.  Saucy.  I like.
 



Funny email conversations...

Honestly, where else can I share this?  

 

Your profile: well done
Our steaks: medium rare

Hi there,

I found your profile quite matching on a number of levels.
I know how many emails flood in and fear mine would be over looked.
There is much I would like to say and ask, yet I will see if I
manage to stand out in the digital crowd.

p.s. You have "learning guitar" listed twice. That would mean you'd
definitely need lessons from me.

Miles

 

Hi Miles... you obviously have an excellent sense of humour - you've already made me laugh a few times. Good work :)
I'm curious now about what you have to say, and ask, so ask away. You've definitely got my attention.
Let's talk soon,
Claire

 

Hi Claire, I am glad I was able to saunter through the cloud of
POFers.

Are you one who would rather get questions and answers out via
email, phone or in person? Please don't say morse code, it is so
1800's. .-- .. -. -.-

Miles

 

Note: Because I'm awesome, I figured out his little dots/dashes are actually morse code translated into text… it says "wink"

 

 

Are those my only options? I was thinking homing pigeons, or messages written in the sky with jetplanes.
Seriously though, I prefer the email --> phone --> in person route.
So what kind of music do you compose? I'm very curious about this... do you also sing? If you are a rapper, this could be a problem ;)
I took some guitar lessons a few years ago, but I was very undisciplined about practicing. Basically, I didn't. So, sadly, I've forgotten most of what I learned. I might be too embarrassed to let you teach me.
Have you lived here long? Where in the lower mainland are you?
Have a good evening :)
-.-. .-.. .- .. .-. .

 

My morse code says "Claire"

I'm so friggin' clever!!

Oh what a fantastic sense of humour, and shining with creativity!

I just noticed something from your "email --> phone --> in person
route". When it's not online dating it is usually the exact
opposite order. in person --> phone --> email.

Regarding my music, it is ever evolving. I am usually
writing/composing what I am wanting to hear that I don't hear out
there. So I am usually a little ahead of the curve, when a new
genre becomes popular, I am usually already there. I've done many
styles over the years, rock, metal, dance, techno, pop, grunge,
punk, acoustic, combinations of all but mostly alternative rock.
Yes I do sing, and no I do not rap. I haven't really ever got
into rap.

I was born in Vancouver, moved a lot as a child, from The Arctic
to Persia ( could have said Iran but Persia sounds so much more
exotic, in turn making me sound so cool. no )
I did a few years of both elementary and high school in Vancouver
once my parent stopped moving so much. When they are old, I will
move them from old age home to old age home, I think it is
important to teach lessons. I am sure you know I was kidding.

I was also in Surrey until about 4.5 months ago due to a break
up. I will buy again in Langley, or South Surrey once prices
bottom out, and/or when I am in a great relationship. Currently I
am out in the Abbotsford direction. I am also looking to move my
company closer to Vancouver.

How long have you been in Cloverdale?
How long have you been single for?

Nice to see you have 'making out' in your list, one of my all
time favourites!

Cheers,
Miles

 

Hi Miles,

Your messages make me laugh... yes, I totally get your humour. When my mother is in an old age home I'm going to feed her bologna sandwiches and leftovers. And I will make my dad play with barbies. (That probably deserves explanation... you see, I was never allowed to do girly things when he and I were together... I had to hike and play catch instead. So... )

Aaaaanywaaaay...

I just moved here (to mainland BC) in April after living in Taiwan for 2.5 years. Before that I was in Calgary, but born in Victoria...

I have been single since the middle of December... my last relationship was quite a short one. It was a long-distance relationship, which is probably why it was so short.

I would love to tell you more, but I am writing a gigantic article review tonight, and so I will have to keep this message brief. I think we should have a phone conversation sometime - what do you think? I need to know if you speak in falsetto or not, because that might be a problem. Also if you are an ex-smoker who uses a mechanical larynx...

Send me a text sometime if you are up for connecting that way:

Claire

 

Wow, you definitely getting me laughing good.

I'm doing the after a good laugh sigh now.

Thanks for the number Claire, I think it would be nice to hear

your voice. I'm at -------------- I'll text you tomorrow to make a

phone call date.

 

Miles

 

p.s. good luck with the article review.
