childhood memories...

Steve has got me thinking. I too had some idea when we started this blog that we too would use the opportunity to talk about our experiences growing up, but the day to day stuff and all the trivia seems to take over. In many ways that is so much more fun. I suppose it is easier to write about cheesy bugs gone bad than what it was like for us as growing up. I guess there is also something in there about the exposure that we would get on internet. When we began to get involved in all this blogging stuff I suppose I had some idea that we would remain anonymous and that this would allow me to say practically anything that I liked. However, the more we blog the more we seem to develop 'virtual friendships' with lots of people who come from all over the world, and while it is unlikely that we will ever meet any of these people, although I now wouldn't rule out that possibility at some point in the future, the usual stuff seems to take over. I have a particular way of being in the world, and rarely do I talk to people about the things that are important to me. I am trying to say that the opinion of these people, and, yes, you are one of these people, hold of me, means a lot to me. At one level this all seems a bit sad...Much as Mrs McMuffin just wants to be pretty, I just want people to like me, which makes it kind of difficult to stray from the superficial.
