spit your best game at me

So, my friend Allie, miss blog stalking extraordinare, has been following a girl named Kelly for almost two years.  Apparently Kelly is quite a popular blogger, with over 9,000 followers (good grief girl!) and has started a sort of blogger match-making service.  Once a year, or however often, Kelly asks all of her followers to blog about one ,or several of their single friends, and register them through her site.  You can take a look at this year's post here. Supposedly, three couples were matched up after she did it last year and two of them are now engaged.  I don't really know the details of how it all worked out, but you get the gist.

As I was having coffee with Allie, today, she starts telling me about this and how she wants to blog about me.  I don't really remember my initial reaction, but I'm sure it included laughter.  In fact that may have been my only response.  I think the whole thing is sort of silly and have never ventured into online dating, nor do I think I ever will, but it was pretty flattering to read all the nice things Allie had to say about me!  I certainly think I sound like a catch! ;-)

I have no doubts Allie will be surfing through all the eligible bachelors (although from a quick glance, the list seems to be predominantly females) and sending me the links to the associated blogs.  It's a fun idea, and I'm sure it's possible to meet someone in a non-traditional way.

Now, my girl Mya is gonna take it away with my single lady anthem.  I'm only kidding; except the "I can't stand a man who thinks he looks better than me" part. I mean come on. [jokes]

my mom googled him first

Ok, so I'm sorta feeling like a stalker, but I just donated here: Team Lambton
My mom really did google him, which is a huge feat because she can barely operate her e-mail.  She's living in some alternate fantasy and saying I should try to contact Chris.  The donation, to an already great cause, is as far as I would ever come to that.  This isn't Sleepless in Seattle and I'm no Meg Ryan. In all seriousness, the finale gave me goosebumps. As soon as he walked outside and saw that rainbow, I wanted to cry. He saw his mom, and I saw the only physical proof of God any person should need. I refuse to call something that meaningful a coincidence. End of story.

I felt touched by a story and I wanted to share that.  It's got to feel pretty amazing to have an overwhelming amount of support from people all over the world you don't even know. I was genuinely touched by the positivity and love of his family.  I totally quoted his dad on facebook after the hometown date: "love is the only reality." What an amazing man to face such a loss and still count his blessings; still cherish and believe that love is all that matters.
