And the winner is...

Time to announce our winner of the pathetic personal ad contest! We got some excellent entries, even though there weren't a whole lot. Thank you everyone who participated and put herself and himself on the line. Be proud of your singlehood, and display your faults to the world!

First prize
Casanova

DWM, 29, skinny. Works part-time at religious magazine, but is spiritually indecisive. Prone to procrastination. Will not finish undergraduate degree in impractical magor by 30. Has been diagnosed with several exciting mental illnesses and has history of addiction. Cannot keep pets alive, even fish. Has few material possessions. Lives with father. Washes hair infrequently and sense of style has been described as "classy hobo". Uses public transportation. Would write more, but can't afford it.

Yay! Please give a round of applause to our saddest single! Since you live in Utah you are spared the ignominy of having to go out with me. But the other fabulous prize is: you can write a guest post on CITC!! Yay! How excited are you? I bet you are just peeing in your pants from your unbelievable joy and excitement. Understandably, you were spared a date with me, the other mentally ill single.

Runner up:
Mike A
He wins for showing so much enthusiasm, and for his new unemployed status. Hooray!! You are also spared from having to go out with me. But you can have a guest post on here too. I guess Casanova should have 2 guest posts to signify his superiority over you, but you can have one. Now here's Mike's ad, it's nothing to sneeze at for pathetique:

SWM. 27 year old commitmentphobic, overweight, balding, unemployed college dropout seeks SF well out of his league. Possible mental health issues are/will be hidden rather than treated properly. Homeowner… in Oklahoma. Newly unemployed status also means that this winner will soon need to mooch off his parents to make the mortgage payments, and may eventually move into his parent’s basement! Call now, guys like this don’t come along everyday!

If you guys come up with a prize you'd like better, that I could actually award you, then let me know. Otherwise, you are stuck with guest blogging, on the topic of your own choosing though!

Here's is a list of the other sad contenders with links for the bloggy ones.

Honorable Mention:

P.S. My brother has emailed Feather. Her personal ad made me think they might be compatible so I passed her email along. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.
