why i am a raging dork, and therefore not "way 2 hot"
by: duff

i am not hot because i am a raging dork. in the wee hours of the morning, i posted my hnt picture, and then wandered over to osbasso's, where i spent no less than half an hour hitting refresh every two minutes and wondering why he had not posted his hnt photo yet. finally, around 12:45, i gave up and went to bed.

i stopped by his site this morning...still no hnt picture. i feared the worst- maybe osbasso had fallen ill. maybe his camera batteries died. perhaps he'd fallen and couldn't get up- or reach his camera. i resolved to check on him later, and wandered off to shower and get ready for work.

i checked my email throughout the day, noting (with, a little pleasure- i'll admit it) that my inbox hadn't filled up with generic comments about my feet.*

"perhaps my telepathy worked", i thought.

it finally dawned on me about an hour ago, as i was putting together the avon order- something i do every wednesday night.

were i feeling slightly more photogenic this evening, the new, improved hnt would be a picture of me with a big, fat "L" on my forehead.

and that, surely, is why my car was noteless again this morning.

*let me clarify: i appreciate that you've stopped by, and that you'd like to wish me a happy hnt, but really, i'm okay with you just hanging out in the shadows rather than feeling the pressure to say something that's already been said 500 (okay, 50- i don't have enough traffic for 500) times that morning.
