Stephanie

I think it was him.

I went to the store after work and I’m 95% sure I saw a Buster Mcleod. This guy was really, really tall.

Anyway, as soon as I saw him in the aisle, I ran away. Then I remember my goals about being less shy and more out going and so forth. So I said to myself, ”What’s the worse that could happen? He could yell, ‘Who the (bleep) are you? Get the (bleep)away from me.’ Then pull out a gun and shoot me?” (I’ve been watching a lot mob movies lately.)

I figured the odds of this happening were pretty slim so I gathered up all my little courage and said, “Hello”.

From the look on his face, I think he thought I was about to ask him for some spare change but he was polite. He didn’t shoot me.

I wanted to say, “Thank you guys so much for 43things. Whether you guys realize it or not, you’ve really helped a lot of people who needed it. When I found the site I was surrounded by pessimist twho were terrified of change. It was so nice to finally “meet” other people who were saying, ’I know there has got to be more to life than this.’ and ’Other people are happy and live there dreams. Why not me?” I knew there had to be others. I just couldn’t find them. Thanks for the help.”

Unfortunately my nerves took over and all I came out of my mouth was, “I like your site.” or “Your site is neat”. It was something dorky like that. Then I took off. Oh well. Its the thought that counts.

I met a Robot; close enough.

He’s a fast eater. He can a bowl of soup disappear [snaps] like that.

Where’s your blog? You can’t live in Seattle without a blog. Its against the law. Or are you one of those secret bloggers?

We seem to have a lot in common. I was born on planet earth. He was born on planet earth. I can convert oxygen into carbon dioxide without even thinking about it AND SO CAN HE! Plus, he thinks its a good idea to bring kittens to job interviews. How about that!

Stephanie contacted me first, the more I check out her 43 things space, the more I like her and feel we connect on several levels.

Her list of “things I’ve done” is quite impressive. The things she has done and shared on here shows she is down to earth, kind hearted, and has a good sense of humor. All wonderful qualities to have!

She likes butterflies, a girl after my own heart. Her ”cheer up Charlie” is so sweet. She’s even got some balls (like me) lol ”put an asshole in their place” LOL you go girl! Assholes NEED people like us to tell em about themselves!

”Defend the underdog”, need I even comment on this one? ”Laugh until your stupid”, man I wish someone could make me laugh till I cried, I really need a laugh like that, it’s been too long. ”Swear less” LOL, another thing we have in common. Is f-ck your favorite cuss word? Remind me to tell you the story my Aunt Ann told me about the origin of that word, it’s pretty interesting.

I LOVE ”popping bubble wrap”, and dislike the people that yell at me to stop, they’re no fun! ”Create different usernames to reflect and focus on different aspects of my personality and personal growth” hmmmm now that’s an excellent idea! I think I may do the same. WOW… ”stop defining myself by my failures” Gee I’m not the only one…

Your right ”seeking revenge isn’t worth it”, were so much better than that, boy oh boy I sure do come up with some dooozies for what I would like to do to get back at all the f-ckers that have hurt me! HEY! I saw ”No Doubt” live, with my son, my oldest sister and her son Danny many many moons ago. It was a blast! I love Gwen!

I love the ”rain” too, and got soaked purposly just a few days ago. If I hadn’t had my digital camera with me, I would have been dancing in the rain with all the other free spirits not concerned with their hair.

Wow Steph, you sound like one realllly cool chic! Thanks for contacting me :0) I hope we can get to know each other, and one day, ya never know, maybe even meet for lunch.

She has beautiful goals. Reading them made me teary eyed.

She seems genuine.

He’s just plain interesting.
