I think I just figured at one point: if I can't attach my name to it, I don't want to write it.<br /><br />I think it is because I have rather high writing ambitions. And if I were to ever get my act together I would like to publish in magazines etcetera. So I figure I should get used to writing the things I want to write in a way that I feel comfortable.<br /><br />Though, I would LOVE to read your alter ego blog. You know what you could do...actually, I think I WILL do it, but do it sort of like fiction. Then it wouldn't have to be anonymous (because I for one would LOVE to read it) and if anyone got all up in your grill about it, you could say: it's fiction. ;-)<br /><br />ps. you're not weird. you are AMAZING.Kimberelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590867490999668892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-33234141354030117082010-07-01T19:47:02.049-07:002010-07-01T19:47:02.049-07:00(Sorry if this appears more than once - Blogger is...(Sorry if this appears more than once - Blogger is flaking out on me!)<br /><br />There's something weirdly beautiful about that picture of the baby bird. I think because it is so translucent and vulnerable-looking on the hard background? Or maybe I'm just letting my own strange get the best of me. :) I grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe, and I used to be fascinated by the little rodents and birds the farm cats killed. They would usually get bored and leave them on the ground without eating them, and I would visit them every day to watch the little bodies gradually decay and turn into sandy crumbs covered in ants and flies. The macabre is fascinating!<br /><br />Andrea xx<br /><br />P.S. Also, I love Haiku Ambulance's comment - "Hey, guy- I know there are some ants on your face, but I enjoy your company nonetheless." That's exactly what I would have thought, too!Andrea Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304706719936895188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-20879537256973746982010-07-01T19:14:48.727-07:002010-07-01T19:14:48.727-07:00I like the strange... but I know the feeling.

I don't even think ...Let your freak flag fly! <br /><br />I don't even think the example comment you gave was "weird". It was quirky, funny, and sassy. Why have a blog if you can't vent and be yourself right? Or at least why have a blog if you feel like everytime you write you have to monitor yourself. No fun. The people that love you will stay and the others...well too bad for them. They're missing out. <br />I say shout it out!<br /><br />can't believe I clicked the link and now I have to go to bed.

I also happen to think the comments that you've left at our blog are endearing and genuine - which make them totally special. I think it's you're blog - so let it flow and say what you want.<br /><br />Although, take this with a grain of salt, because this is coming from one weirdo to another. Sometimes I leave comments on other blogs saying what i really think, and I leave feeling like I've left an awful impression and they're sitting there scratching thier head instead of itching to see my blog (see - i think I just made an itchy/scratchy pun...)Becca [Free Honey]https://www.blogger.com/profile/05702757062423348331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-58807475308000637062010-07-01T15:41:35.341-07:002010-07-01T15:41:35.341-07:00I would love it if someone left a comment like tha...I would love it if someone left a comment like that on my blog!

To prove this...When i clicked on your link, my first reaction was a laugh and then an "ew" followed up by "poor birdie". Yeah, OK, weird. I know. I think weird people are the best kind.<br /><br />Secondly, I like the little vest! Such an amazing color. Maybe its because of where you live but all your clothing is so warm colored. I love that! Chicago is very bland color oriented. I have no idea why either. Maybe because all the buildings are bland colored?Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505961335487076535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-10149846374077673112010-07-01T13:18:57.221-07:002010-07-01T13:18:57.221-07:00Hi my dear.

It was sad, too. But I was eating my lunch alone outside and I saw this little guy who could have slept in one of my rings. He actually made me feel really good for some reason. Just like, "Hey, guy- I know there are some ants on your face, but I enjoy your company nonetheless."<br /><br />Ryan and I saw a little bird guy, too who looked just like yours. That's really sad. But Duncan tried to eat it, which is a good reminder that some bigger, sad, hungry guy is probably feeling a bit better right now. <br /><br />I don't know if you ever heard of Joe, our pigeon friend (this would be back in my archives), but he stopped showing up a couple of weeks ago after he and I had a strange encounter. I'm really sad about that, too. <br /><br />Animals are a hard thing to wrap my brain around. Especially when you see things like that and you worry about their parents and stuff. <br /><br />Also, if you ever do your underground alias blog- that would be awesome. I would even join (not that I'm inviting myself...) and then it could be like a collective entity of maybe a handful of people who write under the same alias whenever they want to relieve the strange. Look at me piggybacking your ideas. <br /><br />Wanna know something strange?<br /><br />I rarely change my purses during the week. But yesterday morning I went into my closet and pulled out that exact same bag you're wearing today (vintage coach, no?- you say crappy thing, but it looks identical). I put it back, though because I can't have nice things and it has pen marks all up on it. <br /><br />.Haiku <br /><br />(and I got your email, but I feel like I have to catch up on YOU first before I respond.

I worry that I'm going to go too far or come across in a way I didn't intend. <br /><br />It's a strange feeling, the mix of vulnerability and power that posting pictures of yourself accompanied by snippets of your inner monologue - on the Internet, which is as intimate as your living room and simultaneously as public as a town square - brings. It makes me uneasy sometimes, and very happy others.<br /><br />I love the idea of the alter-ego blog. There used to be special times of the year when people would wear costumes and disguises and say outrageous things under the veil of anonymity. It helped relieve the tensions of civilized life. Those traditions have largely atrophied: Halloween is for kiddies and the Lords of Misrule no longer make merry during the Christmas season. Wouldn't revisiting that concept of societal release in a modern forum be interesting - and fun?FashionTheoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982910422976864716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-34557839611417572802010-07-01T09:34:43.202-07:002010-07-01T09:34:43.202-07:00Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww pooor lil baby bird.

I hate posting boring comments haha. I like my personality to show through my comments or else really, whats the point? (for me anyways)<br />As much as I would love for you to leave me a comment through an alias about undies and sprinklers, I think you need to let go and just say whatever the heck you want to say! don't censor yourself, if people can't deal with your crazy (which by the way, is not that crazy) then that's their own damn loss! right? right?<br />Anyhoo I think you shouldnt be so worried, people with excentric personalities are the best kind of people out there. For me, if someone writes cutes shoes! I think... did you even read all my random ramblings? or did u just look at my pictures? Now I'm a relatively new blogger so i dont have a large following and im completely honored any time I get comments, but I hope people read all my blogs too because that's where I share all my thoughts and random garbage. Sometimes it's about nothing really, who knows, I just talk and talk and talk but that's me. You learn a lot more on my blog than you do if you talk to me in person so enjoy it haha! (not you but anyone really!) <br />okkkkkkkkkkk done chatting your ear (eye?) off.
