I determined last night with some help I'm good at at least 4 things
1. "Stalking the Queen of Naboo"*
2. Listening to women on a tech support line from South Carolina
3. I'm really good at noticing things in a crowded room. It's what would have gotten me into the Secret Service. But I'm still not taking a bullet for our first Black President, Barak Obama ( will I ever learn how to spell his first name? )
4. I forgot what 4 was ... anyone?
* Years ago co-worker and I tried to find Natalie Portman when she was a student at Harvard. We spent a whole afternoon finding angles to find her "real" name. You see Natalie Portman isn't her real name. So we dug. She had registered at Harvard under her real name which happened to be her grandmother's name or something like that. Since then, I have gotten good and "finding" people or things on the interwub. It's not stalking. Stalking is a repeated almost malicious pestering. What I do is more like treasure hunting or information mining. But it's always known as Stalking The Queen of Naboo - who was Natalie Portman's character in Star Wars episodes 1-3.

I'm a little peeved about something. I'm peeved at attractive women who think they aren't pretty. DANG GINA! Look in the frickin' mirror! Don't you see all those guys AND their wives checking you out? My wife suffers from this mallody.

I'm supposed to be writing a story right now. I'm too sleepy.
=============
Ok, here's the deal, I had a lump in my chest. My dad had non-H Lymphoma. I was a little concerned but didn't want to say anything. So I went to the doctor today. If it doesn't go away in 5 days after antibiotics and anti-inflamatory, I have to see a surgeon.
============
The more I think about it the more I understand that selfishness is the biggest culprit in bad relationships.
============
Being a male blogger sucks. I have been hearing stories of how women bloggers call each other all the time and talk. REALLY???? You mean if I wasn't male and married, I could actually talk to some of you people?
... hate that ...
===========
This was my waitress at the restaurant the other day. She looked like Tink. I swear she did, my camera sucks.
=========
What would you do if you had a talent - and you were really good at it - but it was socially unacceptable? Something that might make it hard for other people to want to talk about or you knew you were good but you knew it made people uncomfortable to talk about it?
========
I got 2 hours of sleep last night. Yo kids sit here and watch a video while I rest.

Information mining - that is perfect. I do the same thing. In fact, people almost employ my services for it. My coworkers think I can find anything out about anybody.
I'm sure most stalkers think they are the Nice Kind. But yeah, it's not like you were going to break into Natalie Portman's apartment, right? RIGHT? Ok.
All my tech support calls have been with people from India. If I could get one with someone from SC, I'd be good at that, too. As it is, I think all of India has decided I am a crazy person.
Compliment the attractive women. It takes a lot of compliments to make up for one guy who says you'd look good if you would change...
On the flip side, I am amazed at all the unattractive men who think they are hot stuff. We women need to learn from all y'all.
Good luck w/the lump. My dad had oral cancer, so when I had to have an oral biopsy I was pretty much steeling myself for the worst...and it was nothing. May yours be nothing, too. And remember: if it IS something, medicine is better than it was when your dad got sick.
Selfishness, yes. And misplaced hope.
I have one of those talents. I enjoy it, but I generally keep my mouth shut about it unless I know the other person would appreciate it.
As a female blogger, the only other blogger I talk to on the phone is someone I know in real life. So it's not all one big social whirl for us. But I bet you could call any of us and we'd all love to talk to you.
Tink is adorable. Shame your camera left off the wings.
And the senior choir was hilarious.
And now, I want a prize for Most Thorough Blog Comment, Ever. I think I bagged it.
Laura: Yes, those of us who have "the gift" are in high demand. I get asked all the time how to Google to find certain things. I have located people ... ummm who don't want to talk to me. Those are the fun ones. Maybe you can help me with my toughest Google challenge.
Christine: That is the most complete answer. I'll send you a CD just because you answered so thoroughly.
Thanks! And since you are an expert, and I have made the task so incredibly easy, you already know just where to send it...
Christine could NOT have put it any better:
"Compliment the attractive women. It takes a lot of compliments to make up for one guy who says you'd look good if you would change..."
Tink? As in Tinkerbell? Awesome lol
Can you info mine all the guys from my high school who never asked me out and tell them how awesome I am now?
Who is calling who? I'm female and no one ever calls me!! Of course I hate talking on the phone so that's probably fine.
So did you tell the chick WHY you were taking a picture of her? :)
