You know, sometimes I think we forget about those that mean the most to us. Then, even if we don’t, there is still a certain expectation. We like to have friends say nice things to us, to back us up, to build us up. At the same time though, that’s why they are our friend, we expect a certain amount of that from them I think. Same from family. When they say and do nice things, we take it differently, as if they are fulfilling an unspoken obligation.

I have a friend online, never met in person, but we talk a whole lot. We were discussing relationships and such last night, and she said something that was so profoundly complimentary that it has taken me completely by surprise. I never expected it, she’s not a friend like other friends, and I think what made it even more important is that she doesn’t even know me in person. She said that knowing that there is a guy like me out there gives her hope. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t really know her, or maybe because I know her just a little, or what, but that comment meant more to me than if it had come from probably anywhere else. I mean, how cool is it to have someone tell you that? Especially if you’re like me and a little frustrated with being single anyway. I thought about it later that night, and more today and realized what a statement that was, even if it was small for her to say, it was big to me. She knows who she is, and I’ve already let her know how much that meant to me.

It makes me stop and pause too. It makes me think of what I could do for the people I know. My close friends and passing acquaintences and chat buddies alike.

I got my new cell phone today. I had to change numbers though. Amazon couldn’t get my old number ported over to Cingular Dammit. Oh well, no real big deal. If you want to know the number and I missed you on the mass email I sent, just let me know and I’ll make sure you get hooked up. You know you wanna talk to me anyway.
