"us" vs. them
2006-05-07
I don't think people get "us". (yes you included!). the whole blog world is lost on most of my IRL (in real life, come on people!) friends. they think it is weird and creepy that i have a blog, the one's who know what a blog actually is, i mean. They automatically think SECURITY! as in,. what if it is really a 50 yr old dirty child-molester man who is posing as one of your bloggers? that thought has never entered my mind. Should it have? maybe i am niave. I never was scared living in the ghetto of San Francisco- never thought one moment about it. Never thought much about parking my car under underpasses in nasty downtown wherever. I am not by nature a scaredy cat. I cruised downtown NYC at nighttime by myself and was happy as a lark. Why would a blogger get me worried?
I love my blog friends, mostly more than my real friends. I tell you all things i couldn't imagine telling SOME of my irl friends. When someone brings up Missouri, i am all about "oh yeah my friend coolcat lives there with his wife, they ... yada yada...." and i have no doubt in my mind if DH and I ever ended up there, we would call them for dinner,etc. (coolcat, i am NOT a freak!!LOL)
We are planning our trip to Greece ,and that totally includes an afternoon (or more!!!!!) visiting Chloe, my precious blogfriend, who sent me a POSTCARD (-how sweet is that???? thank you ! i love it!)
Canada, oh well, I have two girlfriends there- I kid you not, they would each get a call if for some reason i ended up in Canada for a bit. I love my Canada girls.
And then there is my loopies. should that be "are my loopies"? i think so. well, we are still in the works for planning a vacation. YES a vacation. Sara and Angie i know, but Kim i have yet to meet face to face. I am gonna kiss and hug on her when i do, and probably the other two as well, cause i will be ecstatic when the four of us finally get together.
and then Kurt. sent my kid two postcards while he was on holiday. they are forever in blake's postcard collection. great friends, i tell ya , great friends.
i consider you all blessings. I love my bloggers.
any thoughts?? am i weird??

TWO postcards! I'm so jealous!
Gee, I wonder what possessed you to write this post? Hmm....
Well, I'm just glad I'm a blogger friend and an IRL friend. I think...That way, I get to see both sides of you, and I promise, there are two sides...

To have friends where you can be yourself and be accepted-without being judged, or being made a "project" is priceless-no matter where they come from

what? just one afternoon?
no way!
they are jealous Gina. of something a.they don't know b.they don't have
Don't pay attention. Wake up people it's the 21st century, people want to communicate and phone calls cost a lot!
Also, say a weirdo was reading our blogs. How could he/she harm us?
I am really asking this, because people have been making the question to me too.

You're not weird. I would hate to leave my life in fear.
I've never had anyone ask me if I'm afraid of stalkers online, but I have been questioned as to my sanity about my job.

Gina...you know I have met some of my best friends on line. That being said...read my last post on my blog about my brother (the computer cop)! He had some freak thinking he was a 13 year old girl so he could bust his pedophile butt and throw him in jail! You just have to use common sense and good judgement.
