Take Note.

Ok, so you don't think that every. single. message. we get is horrible - I offer you a "THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE BOYS":

I had messaged this:

First of all - I refuse to believe that pink isn't a real color so I am glad to see you are leaning toward 'yes.'

Second of all, I hear 'ya on the hipster realization - but aren't we all kind of walking that fine line these days? It comes with the taste for good music.

Question - Care to share your top three tee shirts? And I mean via description. Don't worry, I am not asking to borrow your favorite tee on the first email.

I'm Kate and hoping you're having a good weekend. You are.....?

He replied:

... Jason! I'm Jason! Sorry for the late reply -it's been a busy week.

Ok hmm my top three shirts. My favorite one is really old, like 11 years or more; it has an illustration of a sniper on a rooftop, and it says "I love a parade" (I sometimes have a dark sense of humor) Second one is a little T-rex floating through the sky holding onto a bunch of balloons. Third favorite is probably my "Not a Doctor" shirt. It says not a doctor across the front and has a surgeon inside a red circle and slash through it on the back. I hope it lasts until I am a doctor so I can wear it under my scrubs :P

As for pink, I need to update that. It totally *is* a color. My indecision was based on light and wavelengths and so on, but once I realized that color is a product of the brain and not an external element I recognized that pink is a color. In fact it's unique since it doesn't have a corresponding wavelength like all the others.

I took that inner animal test and I guess I'm an African Wild Dog. I don't know how well those mix with hippos, but I'm willing to find out :) What shows are you going to at red rocks this year? I'm trying to find tickets to pretty lights but I'm not sure I wanna pay as much as people are asking for them. Oh! I wanted to ask about the Grapples! I'm so intrigued by them but I've never had one. Are they amazing or what? Do they really taste like grapes?

Hope your week is going well, talk to you again soon

Jason 

What he hits on:

The enthusasium of introducing himself.
An apology for the delayed response (all of three days).
Answers questions per my previous message.
Uses inflection (totally *is* a color).
Took my Discover Your Wild Animal test. Made a cute remark about it.
Asked about Grapples.

....And just like that, a girl is smitten. Keep it up, Jason. And the rest of you (see below) - take note.
