The Benefit of Narcissism
Clearly, I like pictures of myself. I also like sharing pictures of myself with world wide web-sters. In one particularly gratifying moment last night, it became completely clear to me why I do it.
There I was, ordering a round of shots for the 12 partners in crime I went out with, when a girl I didn't recognize approached me. She said, "Excuse me, I just have to ask...are you DC Cookie?" My eyes lit up. There it was! My 15 seconds of fame. Somebody recognized me from my website. Unbeknownst to her (well, at least, before I told her 8 times), she had just made my entire week. Being a narcissistic attention whore clearly has it's benefits...
Smash - you SO have to be at our next blog-fest.
**Oh, and in case it wasn't clear, I clearly like the world clearly.

I'm trying to think of something good and snarky to write, but nothing's coming.
But I feel the same when I see you. I get really excited and happy. Or maybe that's just the alcohol, whatever.

And you have to use that photograph next year for your Christmas card, Cookie as "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Haha that is so awesome.
I'm both excited for the possibility and frightened.

MUCH cooler situation to be in than me, a few weeks ago, totally sweaty, having just finished teaching a spinning class. One of my students came up to me and said, "do you have a blog?"
Glamorous.

I'm certain I'd have a hard time recognizing most bloggers in person.
For some reason, while I can easily identify someone in a setting I am accustomed to seeing them in, I can be just as equally baffled if I see that same person somewhere I'm not used to seeing them. Sort of like seeing someone I knew only from a class I once took out at the mall one day.

Just as a side note, Smash is also obsessed with the word clearly since 2005 started.
