“Ok SERIOUSLY?” or “Benin is in West Africa. NOT Oklahoma City. Not even freakin close”

I refuse to give up hope. I refuse to give up hope. I refuse to give up hope. I refuse to give up hope. I refuse to give up hope.

I say all of this to you because “Danny” said all of this to me…and for shits and giggles? I’ll include my email to him, succinct though it may be. and another juicy tidbit? He “winked” at me, I said hello in this email and this was his response. That is the extent of our communication. Wink Wink Hello BLEARGGGGGGHHHH

Danny,

just sending an email over here to test…

Misti

His reply:

Misti,

I am so excited reading from you, it had being such a heavy busy day, Under the burning hot weather here in Benin, its a small country, this is my first time of coming and working in this country, but i guess the weather at the evening time is a bit friendly but very hot and burning at Noon.

The Benin Authourities summoned me so that they can able to connect with the France authourities to confirm my Approval Letter and they can also sign on the letter for completion of clearance, which i also did today, it had been a busy and creative week so far, lots of design and decoration had being accomplished. It had been a whole busy day and i am very tired, need to shower, get a glass of wine and head to bed to be refreshed and strenghtened for tomorrow’s work. and keep myself physicaly and menthaly fit for our meeting.

No matter the distance between us i want you to know you are not far away cause If kissing was just two people touching lips, it wouldn’t touch our hearts and bind our souls the way it does, I’m talking about fate here – when feelings are so powerful it’s as if some force beyond your control is guiding you to someone who can make you happy beyond your wildest dreams, Love means making the other happy, even from a distance, Love is knowing you are the bud from which his happiness blossoms; you see, today I smiled to many people for more than a billion times in the hotel and at the site; but when I received your letters, my heart took over and smiled for the first time. Your presence in my life brings wonderful smiles and loving thoughts within my heart, Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued is always beyond our grasp, but if you sit down quietly may alight upon you,… To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.

I will wait to read from you. The Happiness, and joy of Hope i derive in your email brings out the beauty in my creativity on site and makes my work a BEAUTY. We have done alot withing this 2days of work and still have lots of decoration to do, we are working on the Estate Interior Condo designs and we will start working on the presidential and government officials suits next week. i have ordered alot of decorating materials from Italy and Paris, i will be working under the Fog light tomorrow, so i will spend late night out tomorrow… Hope you dont mind for work, i am not a night crawler anyway, i always love to be in the reach of my partner at night.

Your thought has been my daily strenght and reason for me to work this project out as soon as i can, You are a blessing and i cant wait to meet you.

Danny

I don’t know much, but I DO know Happiness isn’t a fucking butterfly. It’s me being able to troll for men, and show you, my gentle readers, just what is out there! And then we all shake our heads. We all laugh. You look at your partners in crime, I look at Little Black Sambo, and say…”Ok . Seriously? We’re doing just fine.”
and then we watch some Mad Men and slurp up some Don Draper and wish for white gloves and vintage cocktail glasses.
