And better yet- will anyone find me?</title><content type='html'>I am laughing at my first post because I could completely make the almost same list now, unfortunately minus the Vegas trip. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was just perusing Babble's new list of the top 50 bloggers. I found it very interesting. So many of us have so much to say, so many interesting things to say. Stories about life, love, and loss. Happy, sad, and in between. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why do we tune in and immerse ourselves? Is it connectivity? A feeling of not being alone? The desire to know that you are indeed, not the only weirdo out there?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have been everything from obsessed, disgusted, intrigued and then disinterested with blogs since I found dooce in 2002. At the time it seemed like the cyberworld was better. How could it be that there were so many people on the internet- JUST like me? People who I wished and I could be friends with, but felt friendship anyway. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All of these thoughts started bouncing around in my head today and I wondered what other interspace/web/net people thought? Why does anyone read blogs? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As I randomly checked out one of the top 50,&lt;a href="http://thegirlwho.net"&gt; the girl who&lt;/a&gt;. I thought, she is cooler than me? definitely! She is bolder than me? for sure! Her writing is definitely better than what I could do. umm, that's pretty much anyone. Then I thought, It doesn't matter. Hmmm...just like that, I stopped comparing and started appreciating. Because, honestly, were it not for the computer- I never would have 'met' her. And sometimes isn't meeting new and different people what makes life richer?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What are your reasons?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5863535261645560176-3625890170778685747?l=lesstosay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lesstosay.blogspot.com/feeds/3625890170778685747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5863535261645560176&amp;postID=3625890170778685747' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5863535261645560176/posts/default/3625890170778685747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5863535261645560176/posts/default/3625890170778685747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lesstosay.blogspot.com/2010/11/where-have-i-been-and-better-yet-will.html' title='Where have I been?

My little bits have lovies, soft bunnies, blankets, and bears. Mine are grown-up ones. They are intangible and live mostly in my head.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(NO, not the little voices, please people, I haven't reached that point quite yet!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'll call them snippets. Snippets of good things. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Included are memories, songs, movies, trips, children moments, and whatever else takes you to that lighter place. To make you realize there would be no good days without the bad. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In particular, I am feeling very blue right now. There is no pinpoint for this feeling,  just a looming, can't shake it feeling. Like an uneven cricket song in your otherwise silent night (totally annoying). I am lucky, I know that in a couple of days this will pass and I will move forward, mostly funk free. But, until then I pick at and pull out my security devices to bring me back to solid ground. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just yesterday, it was a song on the radio. I turned it up all the way and let it fill my brain. It was a Paul Simon song. The song &lt;em&gt;Gone at Last&lt;/em&gt;. It's a gospel-like song about long streak of bad luck and he prays its gone at last. Just fun. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's just little things. Snippets.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;What do you do? How do you keep the blues at bay? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5863535261645560176-1477692420901791464?l=lesstosay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lesstosay.blogspot.com/feeds/1477692420901791464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5863535261645560176&amp;postID=1477692420901791464' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5863535261645560176/posts/default/1477692420901791464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5863535261645560176/posts/default/1477692420901791464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lesstosay.blogspot.com/2007/10/sing-song.html' title='sing a song'/><author><name>Lesley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03234608812477723059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863535261645560176.post-6844647536262658145</id><published>2007-10-08T08:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-08T08:01:31.251-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pink Panther, the dance</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/V_uqJOhFpWY' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/V_uqJOhFpWY'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5863535261645560176-6844647536262658145?l=lesstosay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lesstosay.blogspot.com/feeds/6844647536262658145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5863535261645560176&amp;postID=6844647536262658145' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5863535261645560176/posts/default/6844647536262658145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5863535261645560176/posts/default/6844647536262658145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lesstosay.blogspot.com/2007/10/pink-panther-dance.html' title='Pink Panther, the dance'/><author><name>Lesley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03234608812477723059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
