You guys are so cute. I couldn't help grinning reading all the comments yesterday and seeing how everyone thought maybe I was talking about their blog. It's charming because everyone showed their insecurity, their humanness. It's like when I went out to California last month. I was confronted a couple of times over some of my blog's "pronouncements" because "obviously" I was referring to the person confronting me. It made me smile.
There are millions of blogs out there people. And they are not all fun to read. But trust me, if I have you on my list, I like you. Kay?
The fact is that we are all the center of our own universe. And necessarily so - we are ultimately responsible for ourselves. But at the same time, we long for others to make us the center of their universe. Oh the cosmic irony of it all.
I got some great writing advice once: Start with yourself, but don't finish with yourself. I'm sure I break this rule on the blog quite often but it's definitely true for the best posts.
This is not one of the best posts, egocentric and insecure as it is. (wink)

Running to see if he's still listed.....YES!
And on an unrelated not I know you have nothing to do with it but you seem to have the most impossible of word verifications!!
I mean :yxqqwvonxc in blurry font!!
ps: obviously I missed a letter because it was incorrect jmjillvnxy second time around
So many blogs,so little time. But yours is still tops on my must read daily list.
blah blah blah blog!
I knew you were not talking about me! (wink)
Have a great day!
I had no idea you were talking about my blog. I thought it was all about you.
So i'm not insecure or human. I can live with that.
yep, we are all at the center of our own universe. But I really should be the center of everyone else's universe as well.
Cuz, you know, after all, it's all about me.
Right?
But seriously, I often get a case of the "woe is me"'s.
because we're good enough,
we're smart enough,
and doggone it, you like us!
Sometimes you have to finish yourself off.
That's what happens when you're with someone who doesn't know how to use their tongue.
Oh, I'm sorry... were you talking about something else?
damnit, my therapist said i havew insecurity issues, and here i come to you and find out its true. damnit!
ha! you missed the whole "feel worthless unless i'm being useful to someone" part of the diagnosis... NEENER NEENER!
Hahaha. The inkernet's funnies.
He likes me. He really, really likes me!
Dickey: It IS all about him. Didn't you get the memo??
;-)
Really is nice to hear you're feeling back on your game.
Why do I feel like the Wise One made us take a test and we all fell into his little trap? Maybe I've been watching too much Big Brother and I am all paranoid now...
Even though I know you're just being nice because you can't stand it when I get hysterical...
how sweet and thoughtful you are.
And I AM NOT being Self Centered.
It's not Just About ME!
Hmm, well I'm not listed, so maybe you WERE talking about me. Ruh roh.
So, are you saying that your blog is not really loaded with secret messages just for me? That seems unlikely to me.
All I can say is that my favorite word, in any language, is "schadenfreude."
I like things.
this has been entirely and thoroughly amusing to read, so thank you all for the mid afternoon laughing attack I just had! I love reading the comments as much as the blogs sometimes. Devo
I think you somehow gave me your cold. Must be a computer virus or something.
I like the writing advice. I'm going to keep that in mind.
Don't be insecure. I love your blog and your manner of thought in general. Thanks for the link--favor shall be returned. I know I get a little too caught up in my crap, but that is probably why I join so many other blogs. So much to say, so little time, so few people to really understand....
Keep on Rocking in the Free World...where you live.
Harrrumph!! You mean that I'm the 21st person to comment! 21 others before ME!? Well, Torn, in MY universe...
****GRIN****
Thanks for the pointer! And I'm sure we'll join you in breaking the rule more than once! :)
steven: "Sometimes you have to finish yourself off."
Oh, he can do that with his own mouth, lucky bugger.
Anyway, you were in California last month? Where?
And why have you stopped sending me coded messages with the polkadots in your background? I feel so lonely...
Thanks for today!?
It did good!?
You did good, never grunted and sweated that much!? lol
You were great!?
Uh, still nothing about the Pop-Tarts? Less introspection, more Pop-Tarts. Thanks.
