Craigslist is the Best
I often post my Craigslist finds.
I am thinking I need to take this approach in finding a girlfriend. I don't think I can take another holiday alone. I am already dreading being alone this holiday season. Anyway, I am going to copy this guy.Let us frolic in my totally dope blanket fort
Yes, I know what you’re saying, “dude, that blanket fort sucks.” That would not be the first time I’ve heard such short-sighted criticism. Its structural integrity is dubious at best and there isn’t a whole lot of headroom. But c’mon, it’s not like I’m a freakin’ architect or anything. Besides, this little baby is just a prototype. I have vast resources of cushions for anchoring and blankets in order to maximize square footage. My living room is just waiting to be turned into a totally sweet labyrinth of love.
I am very open to suggestions in respect to design and construction, as I’d like this fort to be a shared vision. Much like the Taj Mahal, its intended that this little beauty will be inspired by a very special lady. Once our shelter is erected, we can move in and work on some of our higher order needs. Or we could just order a pizza and tell ghost stories. Please email me with a picture if you want to be invited to this living room party. It will be sweet.
PS: I’m allowed to have sleepovers.

That's a truly pitiful blanket fort.
But it kind of makes me want to build one!
@CanadianConspiracy -
Yeah I think I will spend my holidays underneath a blanket fort. That's better than having to deal with all this snow.
@godfatherofgreenbay - I can't imagine living anywhere colder than here. Being outside for even a second is terrible! This morning it was 15 degrees out.
@CanadianConspiracy -
Sunday morning it was -17 and yesterday -7 when I was outside and had things I had to accomplish. The wind on Sunday made it feel like -45. Sunday was the first day of winter.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Oh golly! Head South for the winter!
I had a tendency to make my blanket forts with afghans (the crocheted blankets, not the people. Although... I'd imagine an Afghan fort would probably be pretty sturdy, now that I think about it.) and then peer through the holes, pretending it was a camouflage net or something.
Can the blanket at least be clean? Or look clean? How about some floral prints or some patterns, man?
That was spectacular. My younger brother and I made many ablanket forts when we were little. And ones out of couch cushions. We mixed all the cushions up so bad my mom threw the couch out. :]
@Moktral -
My fort will have a cow themed sheet or maybe Spongebob.
@twistedmistletoe -
See I always thought siblings would be fun in those situations. So after your mom threw out your couch did you give up fort building? My dad had a shoe store so I would make forts out of all the boxes that they shipped the shoes in which made for some huge forts.
@methodElevated -
Used to do that? I still do that with my Afghans, the blankets not the people. I don't think the Afghans would be an easy people to see through but the Swiss...
@godfatherofgreenbay -
Quite acceptable. Thank you.
Holy Shit dude! I have wanted a permenent blanket fort in my home for years! I'm not lying! Whenever we get into a real house and not an apartment I've told my husband there has to be a blanket fort, preferably near a tv and the 360.
So is your fort a no drinking or eating fort? Cause I'll bring the popcorn and a couple of extra pillows......
Merry Christmas!
@ExposedWrists -
I think my fort will have an anarchist form of government. I couldn't imagine not eating or drinking the finest of Boone's Farm in my blanket fort. I guess my blanket fort has to settle for a ps2 but I have a seemingly endless supply of dvds.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I forgot to say, good luck with Craigslist!
My husband and I found each other on the web. He won me over with a headline on his webpage that said: "I love puppies, lemon meringue pies and I'm completely house broken."
It might work for you too!
Blanket forts are awesome! When I was younger, my sisters and I had bunk beds. We would put blankets on all three sides and then have a picnic inside. We also made snow forts and forts with the table and chairs, woohoo! I checked out Craigslist recently because everyone on Xanga seemed to be talking about it. It was okay, but people post hilarious stuff!
@TiRocKiinPiinK -
See that is what I missed out on by not having siblings.
Whatever you do, do NOT look at the craigslist personal ads. They have scarred me of all people.
you wouldn't want me in there as i would probably molest you once you fell asleep.
@droptop11 -
I am sort of used to that since I grew up a half block from a Catholic church. Rimshot!
@godfatherofgreenbay - and do i recall reading that you were a boy scout ? scouts were a great way to experiment and satisfy ones curiousoty .
Someone posted this???Looking for love? Are you sure? or were they looking for a bunkmate for summer camp? Don't dread the holidays . . . look at them as an opportunity to meet some new people - go somewhere you wouldn't normally go and maybe, just maybe, there'll be a Christmas miracle. Maybe volunteer feeding Christmas people to the homeless???? Step outside your box!!!! I hope you find some memories.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
You scarred? Psh, lol. Now I have to check out the personal ads on Craigslist! That is what you wanted all along though, everyone knows it.
@jacksoncroons -
Yes, that is probably a real ad but surprisingly it wasn't in the craigslist casual encounters section.
I have thought about finding some place that is open Christmas and trying to do something for one of those workers who have to be away from their family on this holiday. Just trying to cheer others despite my misery.
