For no good reason, I feel a little odd about reading this blog I came across a while back and have come to really like. It's called Tiny Coconut. My feelings about it raise some genernal issues about this whole blogging thing... the voyeuristic nature, the strangely personal window into a total stranger's life...
I like Tiny Coconut because it's very well written from several perspectives: stylistic, self-expression, and content. I can relate to some of it. And most importantly, I like it because I feel like I could hang with the author. That's unusual, in both real life and the blogosphere.
It's probably clear to the author that I read her work once a week or so. I comment fairly often. She's even referred so my comments in one of her posts. My fear, then, is that she'll think I'm some kind of ass-face, a stalker, or an ass-faced stalker.
Talk about esteem issues. Sheesh.
Anyway, we're making Bleu Cheese Burgers tonight. Rock ON.

And you would think that why, exactly? We definitely need to work on those self-esteem issues, young man. For the record, I don't encourage people who I think are "ass-faces" by referring to them on my blog. (Actually, it would have been an actual, honest-to-goodness link if I weren't having such a good time with the DashBlog feature my husband downloaded for me when he put the new Mac Tiger OS on my computer; it's a great little dashboard item, but it's low-tech...no html or linking possible.)
As for the stalker...I'm pretty sure my dance card's full on that end. I'm afraid you'll have to settle for being that guy whose blog I like a lot, too, and who I also think would be a kick to hang with...especially if you're bringing the bleu-cheese burgers.
I wouldn't worry about people thinking you are a stalker in blog-land. Most people would be rightfully glad you take interest in what they have to say.
Uhm...if a person has comments open, one would think they would LIKE people to comment. LOL I know I do! Strangers, repeat visitors, family...everyone!
