Look at me!

Actual gchat convo I had yesterday with anonymous

(background info:old friend, haven't spoken in a while, they said they read my blog, bottomline: this person speaks the truth)


me: Hey, long time! Soo, tell me. What do you think of my blog? I know you're dead honest so I want to hear what you have to say.


anonymous: Hey, it's cool. I like it. Entertaining to read...


me: But.....


anonymous: But I could see how a stranger would think it's a little "look at me! look at me!"


me: I cannot believe you think I'm a "look at me". It's not like I'm talking about celebrities, champagne or penthouses...I'm just talking about life.


anonymous: I'm not saying I personally think its 'look at me', I'm saying that others may. I mean its not "look at me. I'm so cool" but its like "Look at me! These are my thoughts!"


me: uhhh....but it's my blog, they are my thoughts?


anonymous: I guess...


me: I have over 500 views in a little over a week and only a handful of friends I personally know actually read this. Maybe those strangers actually do want to look at me??


anonymous: Oh man, look at you!!!
