Huh.

So, life is pretty funny sometimes, I'm thinking. I think that a lot, but today I'm thinking it because...

I've been really on top of this blog, writing posts and scheduling them days in advance. In fact, there are three more all queued up and ready to go. In part that's because I've been finding that I actually have quite a bit to say. In part it's because I know that there will be a point at which I don't have time to sit down and write something new every few days. And, in part it is because I want to write the stories when they are fresh, but there's still this nagging sense that I need to hold off on actually putting them out into the ether.

All that is to say that this morning's post was written at least a week and a half ago. Maybe two weeks ago. At a time when the idea that I might meet someone I actually thought had potential was still kind of laughable. I mean, I walked into this project with my eyes wide open, and I knew it would be foolish to assume there wouldn't be some pretty great people looking to meet other pretty great people ... and why shouldn't they use Craigslist along with the masses, but come on! Really? Was I really going to meet someone? I was pretty sure that was a shot in the dark. We're talking really long shot, really dark dark.

I'd forgotten about this morning's post until I received notification that some of you had commented on it. (And I was pretty surprised, since it's the FIRST time the scheduling feature actually worked. For each of the previously scheduled posts, I had to go in and manually post them - which, by the way, defeats the purpose of a scheduling feature.) Anyway, I'd forgotten that I had written a brief post in which I wondered what would happen if I met someone I actually liked.

Call it fate. Kismet. Destiny. I don't know.

But I scheduled that post for just a few days after I did meet someone who seems pretty cool. Cool enough that I felt compelled to tell him about the blog. Cool enough that I am contemplating whether or not this project should continue. For now it will ... he says he'd like it to and will even do something obnoxious if it'll get him in the blog. I think I'll let him know he made it without having to stage some crazy drama. Did I mention cool enough to think this is an interesting endeavor?

In the meantime, it may mean that my attention to the project won't be quite so full -- after all, this stuff takes time. And it just might be the case that I won't have as much of it.
