The More I Think About It, The More I Like You

and you and you and you, too...

After spending an insane amount of time reading, I've come to the conclusion that I've picked the cream of the crop to blog with. Joeuser has been a great place to interact, even with it's little ups and downs that go with a massively different community. Now, I am not going to name names, but after reading some comments that others have left, on long-ago written posts that have suddenly become active again, I can't believe I didn't take note earlier. I have a handful (well, two, actually.) of people that I read pretty regularly. I'll look for their articles on the main page, and if I can't locate anything written by people I like, I then go searching on the Forums board. Now that I've listed almost everyone that I read, I've been bypassing that system and just going directly to the source. (If I am not mistaken, I am also giving you guys a lot of points by doing it this way, too. ;) )

It's funny, considering the people that I regularly read. Some are still in high school, others have had families for half as long. Some have very different political beliefs than me, and I often am amazed that I am blogging at an American site, although, it seems weird to consider it now. Some of us are in love with our partners, so deeply, and wholeheartedly. Some have never been in love at all. Some of us are rich, some of us are poor. Most of us seem happy, even if we go through bad times from time to time.

The things we all share is our love of writing. Our need to communicate in this format. Our openness and trust in perfect 'strangers'. Our honesty, our respect for each other. Keep on writing! We are all lucky to have found each other.

(Oh and even though I wasn't going to single out anyone: Dharma, I just read a post of yours in response to something written awhile ago. All I can say is, thanks for today's inspiration, and you rock!)

Very well written and I feel the same. It is a community with all the good and bad that goes with that.
While I do not write a great deal (my work keeps me away from the computer for a couple of weeks at a time), and my blog is far from popular, I do enjoy reading what others have to write about, and what comments they make.
Perhaps once my laptop is repaired I can be a more active part of the community. Until then I'll continue to be the stranger that passes by from time to time.

I really enjoyed your article.

Really appreciated this one. I find that I can trust many people here more than I can in person, because a person in real life tends to be much less constant than that same person as a writer.

Oh, thanks! Yeah, that felt really fucking good........I took out all of my vengance on him..he had given a link to an entire site about Brad, how he was a douche bag etc, etc.....and it just pissed me off because I felt it was unecessary and uncalled for..

..so I just let fly.

I think you rock too, btw.

Thanks Nicky...indeed, this site has definitely gathered some exceptional people. I only wish I had more time to both write and read others' creations, right now I barely have the time to go through our clique (lol) on a daily basis :)
