So Little Sis was sitting on my floor last night while I read our sister's blog. "Have you read E.McPan's blog lately?" I asked.
"I don't read her blog." she replied with a resolute look on her face.
"But it's so funny! She is a riot!"
"Don't you KNOW? I don't like blogs." she huffily replied. "They're just an excuse for people not to have conversations with each other and instead talk into a computer without forming relationships. . . blah blah blah"
I find this comment very interesting coming from a young woman who spends 86% of her time in her room grooming herself or reading a novel or something or other. When she does venture out it's to answer my questions with one word sentences or "I don't know." Sigh. Huff. Eye rolling. The relationships aren't forming too rapidly somedays. Maybe if I email her we'll get somewhere. . .
At least I know I can talk about her all I want on this very public forum. She'll never stoop so low as to read it.

Funny for a couple of reasons.
1. Rumor has it that Special K has, or did have her own blog. Perhaps she realized it didn't bring her enough interpersonal interaction.
2. I have gotten to know many, many people better than people I've worked or gone to school with through the blog. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes emailing and obviously even some telephone calling, as you can see from my audioposts.
3. She has read mine before, when I told her I had mentioned her a couple of times. So she's not above reading about herself. Which doesn't, um, increase "real life" interactions.
4. It's funny that you think I'm funny and not just your average idiot from the way I write about myself.
E McPan - you are no idiot. I have to get a serious Starbucks coffee, five chocolates, and a glass of Kahlua - put my kids to bed, turn off the TV, put the dogs outside and sit very still to begin to understand your blog. I cannot keep up week to week and am terrified to voice my opinion.
I am always impressed and will someday muster the courage to say so on your blog.
This is from your second to the oldest sister who shall remain anonymous for obvious reasons.
Hey, what's the EGTY stuff all about ?
So, second to oldest sister, you don't have to sit very still to understand my blog? You can pick your underwear, yell at the dogs, feed the kids AND read my blog all at the same time? You CAN? Good. I'm all about multitasking.
