... to me.
Last night, I stayed up too late. For some reason, I read one of my blog entries from earlier this week. And then the one before that, and then the one before that, and then the one before that.... It got kind of addictive, reviewing things that happened to me, and thoughts that I had. When I reached my first entry at this site, I headed over to my Diaryland archives. When all was read, I looked to the top of the screen and realized that this reading-all-my-blog-entries-for-no-reason had started (I finished after midnight) on the 1-year-anniversary of my first blog entry.
Kind of funny.
It made me think about how thankful I am that I have a blog. It sounds weird, I know. But seriously, I feel like I've met people that I wouldn't have otherwise. And gotten to know others a little better. And been reunited with people I haven't been in touch with for a while.
Thanks, Lacey! And thanks to you, who visit me here.
............................................
This morning, I was sitting at my desk for about 15 minutes before I realized my fly was open.
Yikes, is that why that guy on the bike smiled and said good morning as I was walking to work?!
And happy "blogaversary" to you! I am glad that you have this blog - gives me a chance to be in touch.
Enough of this mushy stuff ! On to the more pressing things . . .
It has been my experience that one really does not notice an open fly on someone who is walking (or standing) - it becomes obvious only as one sits. So the guy on the bike may have been just a plain freindly guy.

Posted by: meisa at October 17, 2003 04:51 AMI love me some bloggin'! That's why I keep starting them. See, it might *seem* like an altruistic gesture, but it's completely selfish, I assure you.

cheers,
roya
Posted by: roya at October 17, 2003 05:58 PMhappy blog-o-versary to you :) i'm glad i found your blog, as brazen as it might sound. you're truly right about blogging and getting to know to people we otherwise would have never met in our lives. when i think about whom i had never met else - a sheer pity. there are some ppl. out there who do enrich my life in terms of knowledge and friendship.
open flyer - if that'a a trouser's zipper...for some reason, i find it really yiksey when it's a man's flyer, i guess that's psychology. for them, a flyer is of different use, hence my slight disgust upon their forgetfulness. but it can happen, and it's okay :) and for a woman...we're all multi taskers and need to have our eyes and ears on so many things at once! be happy about that friendly guy, i don't think he saw it, he was just a nice one.
