stalking

In the About Me part of this blog, I shared that I always have had an internal conversation going on inside my head.  

No, not voices telling me to do crazy stuff, just me, going over how I would tell my friends about something that happened to me.  

Usually I try to enhance the funny parts - spice it up a little.

What I like about blogging is that I have a forum to try out my best bits.  Like a practice run.

 I just forget that other people read this. 

This past weekend I had several different people quote me back to me, and it freaked me out a little bit.  It felt like they were stalking me.  

But they are not, I’m the narcissus who’s putting all her personal thoughts out there for people to read.  I love it when people read my blog.

It is just a little disconcerting when someone says something to me that I know I have never discussed with them.

“Oh yeah you wouldn’t want to go, you hate Pig Out in the Park.”

It made me think of one of my all time favorite movies, “When Harry met Sally”

Harry is fixing his best friend Jess up with Sally, and Sally is fixing her best friend Marie up with Harry.   But instead of liking Harry and Sally they end up hitting it off with each other.  

The clincher was when Marie quotes a line from a magazine article, that Jess had written, back to him.  He was blown away that he was being quoted by this total stranger.  What an ego boast - it totally sealed the deal between the two of them.

It is a total ego boast for me too.  But also a little disarming.  

Oh the price you pay for being a blog writer.
