America's Next Top...
A perfect idea for a new reality show on Logo, don't you think?
I was watching a commercial for America's Next Top Model (a guilty pleasure, but I only watch when they do a marathon), and thought hmm...we've got top everything else, so why not Top "Top"???
Onto business...
There's nothing wrong with a little crush. That hot sweaty stud at the gym, the guy at the grocery who's glance lingers just a bit longer than necessary, or the 22 year old college student with the perfect bubble butt who sits in front of you at church (PRAISE JESUS!)
Yesterday I alluded to a blog crush. Well I have several of course, but this newest one is a bit different. It probably sounds silly to you that someone can 'click' with a complete stranger over the internet, without hanging out with them face to face. I know it's easy to get wrapped up in witty banter and clever writing. I'm sure there's the possibility of knowing a good chunk about someone, then filling in the blanks with your imagination. I'm sure some people think that's crazy talk.
Well I say poo on that.
It's fun to make new blog friends. It's a much different approach to bars or parties or real live personal interaction. You bet it's easier to type words than speak them. So what's the big deal?
Over the last few days, through online chatting, emails, and some very nice phone conversations...a fellow blogger and I have had some really amazing moments getting to know each other. Now before any of you naysayers get on your Huffy bikes...I've chatted and emailed with other blog crushes, but there's just something different.
We both realize we're hundreds of miles apart. We both understand we're just getting to know each other. We both really really really enjoy making each other laugh and smile.
So you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. Having a friend that can brighten your day when you think about them is a wonderful feeling. If they're in Tucson or Tupelo, it doesn't matter. As long as you're both happy and know the boundaries, it's all good in the hood.
Here's to my newest blog crush, may we continue down this path of friendship, wherever it may take us.
Cheers!

Awwww, that's so cool. I hope he doesn't end up being an ass, and that you get out of it exactly what you want.
He's definitely not an ass, and I think his is rather cute ;-)
Likewise, I hope he gets exactly what he wants out of it.

Hi there, found you through Dirk's comments. Hi Dirk.
Just wanted to say that I've read through the archives the last couple of days and have enjoyed myself. Hope you don't mind if I stick around.
Also, good luck with the new blogcrush. Sounds like you're really happy with how it's going. I could hear the smile through the typing.
Dirk: Giggles, there's no ritual mating dance. Well, not yet anyway.
Katrina: As any good southern gentleman would say, "Sure Mah, Deeerr, make ya-self at ho-uhm."
Take a look around and thanks for reading and thanks to Dirk for leading you my way.
And as any good yankee who spent 6 years in the south learned to say all the time: Thank you, I think I will.
