Conceit or Openness?
I stumbled upon someone’s blog today, that’s me, always stumbling. That’s because I’m Sagittarius, and the way they sometimes describe us is that we seem to move with grace, like a racehorse, one minute, only to trip over our big feet the next.
Anyway, that’s neither here nor there, this blog I was telling you about, and I won’t put a link to it because she might find the post insulting, was talking about how she was born to write. That was her dream. That’s all she wanted to do.
That’s great, I thought. Do what you like to do. I decided that I’d have to read what this born-writer had to say.
However, as it turned out, I couldn’t tell you what she had to say. I didn’t end up reading anything.
The first thing that caught my eye was her picture in the sidebar. And a little farther down… her picture in the sidebar. A little farther yet… her picture in the sidebar.
And all these pictures? The “oh so sexy” poses. Here I am pouting. Here I am with my hair draped a little over one eye. Here I am staring into the camera. Here I am gazing off in thoughtful repose.
It actually made me think, “you’re pretty damned full of yourself, aren’t ya?”.
Then I thought that maybe I was being too harsh. Maybe she was just being open and showing us who she was. But I thought about it again and realized that those people who are letting you see who they are, don’t have a sidebar full of poses of themselves… they usually have a pic, perhaps at the top, to let you see them.
Now I can’t go back to that blog. I have no interest in reading what she was born to write. Perhaps she’s hoping to “stumble upon” a career as a writer-slash-model.

Actually, I don’t know if it’s ever shown since the time I signed up. Perhaps you could just add some text by the link that tells who.
Maybe I should try to resubmit since it’s been so long without a thumbnail (oh and thanks for bringing that to my attention).
I just sent them a support ticket to see if they can fix it in time.
I know, they tried something that didn’t work and now they said they will work on it manually, so I’m waiting to see something, hopefully in not too long a time.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Your thumbnail pic isn’t coming up on my blog, but you can still click the box to get here. Did you recently change it?
Brrr, it’s cold. Maybe she is looking for a man?
