Oh, what a fantastic thing, right? Why?!!? Because it affords us such unprecedented courage. For example, lately I've really been getting a kick out of posting things that I think are charming on my ex-crush's blog. Kind of pathetic. I've also been posting nice things to random people on their blog. It's really strangely fulfilling. Don't worry, I'm not being insincere, it's just stuff I wouldn't normally say if I didn't have the courage-imbuing mask of anonymity. Would I do such things if anonymous posts weren't allowed? No. The answer is no. Anonymity is great.
Point being... I think I might've slipped up. I mean--retroactively I'm realizing this. It wasn't on purpose. Here's how it happened--I canNOT stop reading people's blog, especially people who have no connection to me. Or groups of people who have no connection to me. It's my new compulsion! I love reading their posts and just imagining what those people are like, or thinking about the relationships with real people that they have that I'll never have, but I can vicariously have through their blogs--especially because I love secrets and I'm pretty sure those blogs are just meant to be seen by friends that they know. It's all just too interesting, and sooo unimportant (maybe not, but what I'm trying to say is that it's a time waster). Here are some of the fun blogs I've been reading-- here and here and here and here and here and here and this post and here. As I started posting these, I'd go back to reading them all over again. It took me about 9 minutes just to get from the first link to this period (and I've already had to come back to this post and add another blog, this is what I get for staying up till 6 last night watching Casino). Friends, this list could go ON and ON and ON!
It turns out there might be some connection after all. Great. Isn't that just grand how the internet brings us together (I realize the hypocrisy of this statement, because several posts ago I said that same thing without the sarcasm--it's not hypocrisy, I meant that then but now I mean sarcasm)... (okay maybe it is hypocrisy).
I've already had to migrate this blog from a different address to this one (because my anonymity had been compromised). And I think I might've just done it again. I really don't want to migrate everything again. It took forever. And I am too busy reading other people's blogs to do it. Soooo, if you do know me, great, post, let me know you're here... and if you tell anyone, I will be on you like white on rice, friend. That's a friendly threat (or is it?). Wait, are there Blogger laws in Blogger land against issuing Blogger threats? Not that I know of, so I'm claiming ignorance.

Why We Might Belong Together
Well, it may seem like I'm fixating on my college ex-crush, and let me just confirm that yes--I am. I don't know if this makes it better or worse, but I would also be fixating on my highschool ex-crush if there were more ready ways of estalking her available (ie-if she updated her myspace page, had a facebook page, or a blog). Since she doesn't, I'll just have to wait. I guess that I'm hoping that college ex-crush doesn't have a working knowledge of facebook yet, but when she one day does, she'll notice she has a message, and that will be the first spark in our romance.
As I was up last night, unable to sleep because of a throbbing headache and an incredibley sick stomach, I started reading through ex-college crush's old blog entries and realized that we have both posted blogs about cruises and bathrooms. If that doesn't say romance, I don't know what does.
Also, I think that I want to start collecting drawings of myself (as if a blog itself wasn't narcissistic enough). If any of you draw, feel free to let me know.
