One of the Worst Posts I’ve Ever Written

I’ve started no less than 3 posts today, each one trying to discuss my thoughts on true love, on happenstance, on synchronicity, on happily ever afters, and how things have a way of working out for the best, whether you really believe it or not. I wanted to somehow tie into how absolutely amazing “Sex and the City” was last night, and unlike other season finales (“Jack & Jill”, “Roswell” and “Dawson’s Creek” to revisit some of my more days-gone-by juvenile tv show obsessions), this one left me fully sated, elated that Carrie ended up with “Big John” as the tears streamed down my face. (Yes, I’m a girl. A girl who had a hangover, a big fat new television where I could easily see the Tivo guide, and a dinner of Kraft Shells & Cheese and brownies. I’m ALLOWED a few tears after that delicacy.) In the midst of my never-ending workday, sending me to the very depths of my tolerance and using every iota of patience I have to not literally bang my head against the wall, the concept of true love is firmly planted in the upper-left cerebral cavity of my oh-so frazzled head. As is the notion of just how small this world really is.

On any given day, in any given city, at any given time, I somehow find myself only a few degrees separated from someone I’ve just recently met. More often than not, you’ve probably dated my old roommate, went to college with someone I had a crush on in high school, or possibly met me a few years back only to call me once but never again (an apparent hint for me to practice my phone-conversation skills.) Whether I’m in DC, San Francisco, Sydney or here in Atlanta, I invariably find myself running into someone that either knows me, knows my family, knows the first boy I kissed, knows the last boy I kissed, or something of the sort.

The problem with starting no less than 3 posts today, this one being the fourth, is that there’s a very strong chance that this one is also going to fall into the sub-par category and get deleted. In fact, if I had more brain cells that were synapsing, sleep received last night, food eaten for lunch or patience (now and ever), I’d probably hit the backspace key with a lot of furvor. But I can’t – I don’t even think I have the time to spellcheck this so please, refrain from telling me that I can’t spell or I used the word “supposebly” because, well, you’re just going to have to cut me some slack today. This is all I’ve got right now, so please, be kind.

    Don’t be down on what you write. Even if you aren’t happy with it, we think it is well written – I can so picture you watching Sex and the City with your Kraft dinner and your brownies. Anyway, in honour of this I have put a link to here on my site. Keep it up – and quit being your own worst critic!

    Aubrey, who cares about proper spelling and grammar. It’s the thoughts and emotions behind the post that really count. As long as ‘u dnt strt typing ur posts all kewl and stuff’ it’s all good with me! 🙂
