Who's Who?


Thinking about you guys even when I'm not able to visit as often as I'd like. It sorta seems weird to like folks I've never even seen before, but some of you are very special to me. When I visit you I picture where you live, your environment, your home/apt. Who else may live there, your pets, if any, where you sit when you're online. And, of course, what you look like. If I've never seen your picture, I already have one in my mind of you from descriptions I've read before.

::One of you reminds me of one of my best friends of 30+ years and I find it incredibly easy to talk to you. I have to temper my words and phrases occasionally because I really start to take off and talk to this blogging friend the same way I talk to Dena in real life. If we ever got together, we'd probably have so much fun that our families would try to reel us in. And probably for our own good.

::One of you is like my favorite cousin, Randall, who's one year older and the darling of the family clan. He's very charming and talented in everything he touches. Although my cousin is a high school principal with a lovely wife and 3 beautiful kids---this part is not at all similar to this favorite blogging friend. I respect them both immeasureably.

::One of you reminds me of a friend that always went to concerts with me. We'd travel sometimes every weekend someplace to see Led Zeppelin or the Stones or someone perform. Her Dad had bought her a new car and gave her a gas card and we were gone......! Laura is very pretty, and quiet, all the boys love her, and she always laughs at everything I say. This blogger friend is also very cool and pretty, too. And very organized. Much younger than my real life friend, but still reminds me a great deal of her.

::One blogging favorite reminds me of a combination of two childhood friends, Janet and Donna. The salt of the earth, the nurturer, the one you always share your ups and downs and secrets with. The "Go-To" person. And cares for me unconditionally, just like I suspect this blogging buddy would. The Yin to my Yang, you both keep me grounded, and never judge me. Or ever have anything bad to say about anyone and I know I could always depend on her for anything, at anytime.

::One of your reminds me of a high school friend of my sister's and mine. She made us laugh hysterically all the time. I can just think of her and laugh. This blogging friend probably thinks I'm silly when I leave comments, but she makes me laugh, just like Kathy did in real life. A very carefree, joyful person. Life of the party.

Any of this look familiar to anyone?
