Random list of the day
Bored and just writing a random list of things...
- Just got outbid on a leo auction on ebay. :( I was thinking of upping the bid just a bit but by the time I got to the auction page it was over. Oh well.
- The weather here has been awesome this Thanksgiving weekend. Yeah, you'll never here me complain about near 60 degrees in late November.
- Speaking of Thanksgiving now being over, I really need to get started on Christmas shopping. I was thinking of maybe heading out today but I can't seem to get motivated enough to go by myself. I tried to get in touch with a couple of friends to see if anyone was interested in going by they were either busy or didn't respond. Blah. I might still get started at some point online this evening, I'll see.
- As yet another seque (this time related to friends), I'm still plugging away trying to find some new ones but it's usually the same kind of thing. Contact for a little bit and then they disappear. It can be so frustrating, especially when it seems like there might be a real connection. Example: About a month or so ago I had exchanged a few messages with someone on FL. It seems we have several common interests and a connection as to what we were looking for (she's from CT but I was still hopeful, sue me). But then I went almost a full month without hearing from her. She did send me a message yesterday starting off with "Sorry I disappeared for so long...". I guess people get busy or whatever, but I think a lot of the time people just aren't as genuinely interested in meeting new people as I am. At least it seems that way.
- It also seems some other folks from around various places on the Interwebs just aren't around as much as they used to be. I probably spend far too much time online so that tends to just make things worse.
- The other day I read a blog post from someone that had the title "Mirror, Mirror". The idea behind it was to describe how you see yourself from outside of yourself. In other words, how do you reflect towards others. I started writing a similar post here but I couldn't seem to articulate exactly what I wanted to say. Maybe I'll take another crack at it soon.
