Sometimes, when I’m not busy being the most arrogant Charlottan, I forget that my primary readership is comprised of friends and family members. That last part is important because, well, I say what I want. And I can’t begin to explain how awkward it is to receive an email from your mother that says your post about Kurt Warner, one that contained the phrase “I JUST CAME”, made her LOL (seriously, thank you for not disowning me).
Even weirder, my real life people have taken to quoting my blog to me. It can get a little uncomfortable. I guess it’s not so much quoting as bringing up certain topics with me and I’ll say “oh did I tell you that” and they’re all “well, I read it on your blog”.
For instance, tonight I was talking to Meck’s Sister (who shall hereinafter be known as Texas Lexi– a faker fake name) and we got on the subject of my new boy.
Texas Lexi: sooo you had a date on Saturday. Who is he?
Meck: sooo you’ve been talking to mom?
Texas Lexi: well no, I read it on your blog.
Later….
Texas Lexi: well, how does he dress, is he preppy?
Meck: no
Texas Lexi: is he country?
Meck: actually, no
Texas Lexi: wow sissy!
Still Later…
Meck: but there’s one thing *pause* he’s in a band
Texas Lexi: what does he play?
Meck: guitar
Texas Lexi: uh oh. Is he lead guitar?
Meck: IDK, there are only three of them
Texas Lexi: well you have to find out, it makes a difference.
And finally…
Texas Lexi: I want to meet him in March
Meck: well if we make it to official couple status by then you can
Texas Lexi: he doesn’t have to know, you can say i’m just a friend, or some random chick
Meck: yea, this is just some random chick i found wearing cowboy boots. weird, right?
Texas Lexi: She was on TnT talking about stocks with a homeless man!
I love my family.
