When I started this blog a few months ago, my intention was to have a place to jot down little stories and ideas, and stay better connected with people who I don't see everyday. Boy was I wrong. Today I received an email from my mom with the subject title "Blogs". In the body all it said was this, "I miss your blogs- are you having a busy week?" Since when did this two way street become one way? Is this how relationships in the 21st century function?
And not to pick on my mom (we just talked for a long time on the phone after I replied to her email with 'why don't you pick up the phone and find out!') because it has happened with other people too. Friends who read all about the mundane details of my life, get their fill and move on, feeling like we chatted. Kelly.... are you out there? I know you are reading this right now. The last time I spoke to Kelly on the phone I realized she was getting her fix of me through my blog, she feels fulfilled, but I get nothing.
Attention everyone who cares about me enough to read this every now and again! Would love to hear the mundane details of your life too. Leave a comment so I know you were here, shoot me an email, pick up the phone. Otherwise pretty soon our closest relationships will be pinging people on Linkedin, or winking at people on Match.com.

Laura, sometimes I feel the same way, except that people in real life don't really know about my blog. But all the online people that read it, know everything about me, but I know nothing about them and that is weird.
