I discovered that one of my old co-workers (from back in TX) reads my blog. Nothing scandalous about that as she is a friend and I miss her. I just forget sometimes how much exposure my blog gets or can get.
I always think of my life as pretty mundane and boring. And it probably is in the scope of things. However, I’ve realized that I live a certain way or have done things that others only dream of. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that one.
I’m definitely an “out there” person. Meaning when you meet me in any sort of extended setting, you usually come away remembering the experience. (good or bad) I don’t think I’ve ever been shy. I’m told I have an infectious energy that people attrack too. Maybe?
I think it has more to do with my being so open. I’m down right friendly unless given a reason not to be. And having survived some very ugly and painful life lessons, I have a different perspective on life. I guess I don’t have the normal shields that you encounter in most people. That’s what I think attracks most people to me. (or repels sometimes. I’m not so egotistical to think everyone likes me.)
So, of course, my blog becomes a natural extension of that. I’m glad folks like it. If you come away laughing or learning, then it was worth the read.
Moby, I wouldn’t say your life is mundane. I think you are a very interesting character. I was just curious about something…how would you get along with an attention whore? I guess what I am asking… if ** I ** was with you… would it be a RIOTOUS FUN and MISCHIEF? Or would it turn into Alexis vs. Krystal?
LOL I don’t mind sharing the spotlight so I think it would be riotous fun!
See, like you, I’m out. I share with people.
I give out my blog address to coworkers as a way for them to get to know me. My colleagues from outside the US enjoy it. My US co-workers in the US sometimes come into work and talk about things I wrote (reminding me of an inuendo that I was hoping that they wouldn’t understand.)
But, well, people don’t read your blog unless they are open and interested in what you have to say. Otherwise, they’d not be there.
