Okay so I'm on fb and this lady that has a kinda big deal page/business/tute/whatchmacallit on there out of the blue asks me about something crazy.
She and some other wondergal pals of hers are thinking of starting up a kind of... Coilition...? Of lady wunderkins to try forwarding the cause of a better quality of life for fems.
And she said I was one of the first people she thought of to... Hell if I know what she thinks I can do. I gather she got the impression that I'm some sort of whiz at drawing people who should be together, together...>>;;
Okay, yeah, so I mentioned to somebody about her page... Several somebodies in fact. And it turned out several of those somebodies were extremely interested in what she was doing. Because it was kinda in line with what They were trying to do too.
And yes, I May have mentioned in passing that okay Sure maybe they should work together on stuff because it might work out better for them if they did...
Ya know, it's a numbers thing. The bigger the group, the better the odds you can take on bigger/better prey. That sort of thing.
I didn't expect somebody thinking that should include Me, though.
We all Know what happens when I get involved with shit... Sure it tends to turn out spectaculer but not necessarily in a Good way.
There's kind of a reason why people were calling me and joking (at first) about a cata five hurri with my name on it.
I don't mean to, but things tend to get rather... Shook up... When I get involved.
C says I'm thinking about it too much. That the chica was likely just excited and pouring on the niciniceness because she didn't know any better. Partly, I think he's right. (I Hope anyway) Because truth be told, I Know I'm not "awesome" in any respect so it sends the lil heebee-jeebees down my spine when somebody thinks I am. I know better. I don't get a swelled ego, I just get scared shitless.
Last thing I need is somebody thinking so highly of me that when they discover I'm ~GASP~ Human, they wanna lynch me.
On the Other hand...
I Do know a few people that I think this would be good for...
A few of them I'm not in contact with (for obvious reasons) but even as out of touch as I am, I Still would like to see them have this possible chance to do something with this.
I don't want to turn it down because it's possibly a chance that I wanted to give a lot of people for a long time now but couldn't manage to pull it off for them myself.
It could be a chance for people like you guys to get a leg up. I'm not saying you couldn't on your own.
That's not it.
It's that numbers thing again though.
I would love to see you guys not just do okay but excel in the things that you have wanted to to begin with. A chance to not just sort of amble ahead but jump using the opportunities this might afford you.
Like I said though, it would be up to you to decide if you wanted to or not. I just would hate it if my skittishness stood in the way of you getting a shot at something you might not otherwise.
I know you guys would do well in this kind of environment... These people are supportive and would be a great way for you to move ahead in whatever you wanted to do. You're all talented enough, strong enough, smart enough...
I just want what any good friend would... To give you a chance to shine like I know you can and in a safe place to do it so you can get your feet under you and hit the ground running with all the right tools to succeed regardless of what's thrown at you.
But I don't know... Maybe it's like C said... Maybe I'm seeing too far ahead again. I'm seeing all the promising possibilities and thinking about what it could mean. Even if it failed, it's still more than there is really now.
So I guess if the lady was serious and not just another mental ward resident in the waiting... I'll see where it goes from there.
And if it Does go somewhere... Well, you all have had a heads up here and now. I'll keep you posted on where this rabbit hole goes and if it comes time to pick, I'll get you your own red-n-blue pills to pick from if I can.
How's that?
