Really Sensitive
FOUND by Michelle Pace in Salt Lake City, Utah
This one is from the University of Utah campus.
Jan in the stalwart state of Michigan, land of randy mayors of declining cities
You'd think that given Rhode Island's size, it would be more sensitive than Connecticut.

lars in all my forms in the nwc?
it's because CT is LDS.

This sounds like a lame excuse to me. And BTW, something about Blake's handwritting is very odd. Any thoughts?

I am NOT overly sensitive, and I'm NOT getting all emotional!! Why would you SAY something like that?

--Actually, it does seem like Blake's making up some lame excuse not to sit with some chick he doesn't really like- typical: blame it on someone else's issues, rather than 'fessing up to your OWN. C'mon, Blake! Get a Pair and just tell 'er you only dig her when you're hammered.

fooch in the kitchen, done with the waffle
CT is male, as is Blake (definitely male writing), written to another male.

I wonder what the percentage is of gay students on the campus of the University of Utah.

This F in d is partially hidden under banners on the right
Can you see the whole thing? I saved it to my pictures and looked at it there. It says:

I really wanted to sit by you
but CT is really sensitive
& would get all emotional if
I don't hang with him.
Hopefully we work things out by Mon.

I love this Find, for several reasons.

Thanks for submitting it, Michelle!

Sure, a guy shows some consideration for another dude's feelings and they must be gay. Gahd, it's impossible to make any progress with you people!

Don't worry, Blake. You'll work out all the knots by tomorrow.

I'm in agreement with Chrome. Blake is a dude, using his friend CT as an excuse not to sit with a girl.

She needs to turn and run b/c if he's using excuses this early on, and for such small things as this, it's only going to get worse.
+ August 24, 2008 11:54 AM +
I'm in agreement with me.
The Found blog and the propaganda ad are covering it up.

Just be honest mr. Blake. It'll make things easier in the long run if you dump her now rather than dragging out a pointless relationship longer than necessary.

I'm just happy to see that another item was "found" in Utah! This place is so small, I might actually know Blake!

Does anyone else think that CT sounds a bit... needy?

I think Ct must be an ex. That is what I read into this. Possibly a friend of the author, or frat bro, or hall or suite mate.

Seems like several founds have been in Utah lately, particularly the SLC region. And it seems to me that SLC is actually a decently sized hub of gay activity, so you never know..CT being sensitive could be a gay guy.

I thought about going to the U, maybe it's best that I didn't because everyone would make excuses not to sit with me.

Rhode Island has always been rather sensitive but never so much as Delaware. Nowadays though Delaware has gotten a little big for its britches , since Joe Biden was picked to be Obama's VP.

C'mon Blake! Make a scarifice for CT! You can do it buddy. If you don't hang separately, you'll all hang together.
+ August 24, 2008 06:16 PM +
completely in a state of disappointment
really? are these really University kids writing this kinda stuff? really?? way to grow up...

Flargy in New Haven, CT
I really resent Blake for generalizing my entire home state like this. While there are plenty of sweater-wearing, ponytail-having, acoustic guitar-strumming dudes to be found here, but there are more than enough of us jaded, cynical fucks than you can shake a stick at.
+ August 24, 2008 09:12 PM +
hilary in new haven
i was going to reply to this, but then jan and flargy stole the approach i would have taken, so i decided not to.
oh, wait...
+ August 24, 2008 09:26 PM +
gett in g all emotional
See what you people did by whining all day about the 1/8" inch you couldn't see at the right?

NOW IT's all fucked up, and there's no left arrow. I'm trapped here on this dumbass Find.

that girl from gossip girl and sisterhood of the traveling pants in tv and movies
Blake is a girl's name, too. (At least nowadays it is. Used to be a boy's name but has become common for girls, much like Ashley and Taylor and Tyler and Leslie and many, many names that were once boy names but became girl names.)

B in go was her name-0
I've known girls named Wesley and William. And I read somewhere recently that the name Wendy was originally a man's name. (Welsh.)

Of course, I read that online somewhere, so who knows for sure if it's accurate.

Lemmy in westchester
Actually the name Wendy is short for gwendolyn, which is a womens name. The first recorded instance of "wendy" being used as a name is in Peter Pan. How interesting....

Ouende (pronounced "Wendy")
Oh, Lemmy, Lemmy. Not true. Not true. Urban Myth. The name Wendy (on its own, and not as a shortened form of Gwendolyn), while not common, was in use before Barrie's work. (although his use of the name certainly had something to do with its boost in popularity. and later the 1954-released Disney version of Peter Pan. Sadly but surely.)
