I've got to stop being so damn friendly. Really. Especially with boys. I winked at a boy yesterday because he had the familiar eyes of a boy I once knew. And so, we joked, and I winked. But just at those eyes. Now getting coffee is gonna be a little awkward.
Then, I just read a blog complaining about all the repeat hits the writer gets on her blog counter, from people she doesn't know, and I thought, "Oh no! I do that ALL the time. And I comment on stranger's blogs when I like what they write, AND check them obsessively. Yes. Obsessively. Oh no! When did I become a scary person?"
Man, lets all cross stitch some pretty samplers, and stick them to our arm bands and blogs and homes. They can either read, "I Like New People." or "Strangers Are Gross." Then no one would ever have to feel uncomfortable again, because, I'm pretty sure being a discomforter is a deadly sin. And that is really bad.
Pretty sure.
But I still like you.
YES YOU!
Strange American, who keeps checking in, that I don't know.
I like you.
Pull up a chair, and have at 'er, and I'll see you in the morning, friend.
Good night, wide world of wonder.

*** I like new people ***
(because I'm also pretty sure being a discomforter IS a deadly sin :) )
I'm one of those people you don't know and who also checks your blog obsessively. I just thougth this was my cue to say "Hi".
So.... errr... hi!
hi phil!
i'm so glad you're here. come on in. i made you a coffee, unless of course you would like something else?
it's okay to obsessively stalk people from a distance if they never know & no voodoo dolls are involved. (wink wink)
as for the blogger complaining about all the repeat hits, come on ! Grow up! Why does a person have a blog in the first place except for the masses to read it. If they really cared about privacy they'd use a pen and journal and not the internet. That reminds me of movie stars who whine about wanting a normal life and want to go to costco and not be bothered. puh-leaze !
oh my - there are a lot of us aren't there? happening upon blogs somehow - God leads us - and there we are finding encouragement - laughing and crying and feeling less alone. found yours through Taking Off and Landing which i found through now defunct - SADNESS! - Steinbeck and Shiner Bock. what a strange new world we live in, huh? god bless...
hey, thanks for stopping in and saying "hi", anonymous. I'm glad you're out there.
it is a strange new version of the world.
i think i like it!
