I'm not saying it is, by any means, but like lets say she was reading this here blog. She wouldn't think it was very communist. That last line. . . doesn’t it feel really creepy to write that?

I guess it is. I just meant that, when I was sitting there across the table from her, I wanted to look at her instead of, like, look at the wall. Or other people. Is it creepy? I guess it is.

Have you never had a crush on someone before? Did it make you want to, you know, do some gardening? Plus, seriously. I talk to girls and then write about it on the internet. We passed the "creepy" threshhold when I registered the domain. I mean, what? Have you never had a crush on someone before? Did it make you want to, you know, do some gardening?

I'm definitely going to come back to read some more. Oh, and I got your comment on the Blog-Wide Workout. Welcome to the team! The workout week starts on Friday and ends on midnight Thursdays. I'll do a roll call on Fridays to see how many workouts you got - our goal is 2-3 times per week, and if you fall short, we send encouragement your way to make the numbers, and if you hit your goal, you get lavish praise from the group. It's all about accountability, and just signing up was a big step. The week's halfway over, so I'll have you signed up for the following Friday's roll call. Great to have you!

I wasn't trying to say you were creepy, or belittle that moment, but I tend to feel a little creepy when I get in that mode. It's like you get that feeling and then you think, hey, wait. She doesn't even know my name. Then you start banging on the table and pointing at your name tag and it's all downhill from there. It made me want to do the most communistic gardening ever!

That's so exciting! I just found your blog while Googling a search for being disgruntled. This totally cheered me up!! Yes, if you were staring at her with mouth agape, a pool of slobber on the shoulder, the glazed whites of your eyes, then that would be creepy. But it wasn't like that. I didn't gather creepiness at all. I gathered a person who has relative security in himself becoming instantly trapped (and it is that, because you can't really get out whether you want to or not) in a moment--THAT moment. The moment of bliss and crushing air all mixed into a single breath. I get it. New reader here. Can't wait to read more. And I LOVE the style. You write very well.
