As I told you before people I'm a bit stuck at home, and a sucker for the banalities of others too. I do have a couple of blogs I read, though doing so makes me feel like a freaky stalker at times. Most of my darlings have proven to be kind of unsatisfactory and inconsistent, the authors being lame or lazy or both or unable to stick to things. Maybe they even have lifes outside and away from their computers. Enviable bunch.
BUT some are still around. The life-hater/Against Me!-lover from Canada decided a while ago to not write anymoe out of some kinky conspiracy phobia that made him believe a blog could kill any upcomin career-options (even if it was at fuckin' Starbucks) and bring on CIA, FBI, homelandsecurity and what not. He is an US citizen... After a few nights of apparent good sleep he changed his mind though, deleted the post where he waved good bye in a rather dramatic fashion and is now back on, grumpy and irregular as ever.
I myself gave up on the texan girl exploring the world after her return to the US. I'm sorry, but she is just to dumb to bear. A couple of weeks in Europe did not help much. We just can't fix everything, you know?!
Now, my secret favorite of the favorites is the guy who, at 28, moved back in with his parents to save money to go on tour with his friends' band in late summer/fall - as a roadie. He is a lazy bun, but, as it seems, they're finally leaving these days. We'll see if he either forgets this little blog-project all together due to all the excitement on the road. Or if he manages to share it. Which I, of course, hope.
And then there is my soap. I never fell for a televison series whatsoever. But now I found this group of people from somewhere in the us bloggin and commenting criss-cross all over the place. A couple of girls in their early twenties complemented by the (now) ex-boyfriend of one of them. Their respective posts make me invision their story which is quite close to a fuckin soap opera. It's fun to make up additional twists and fill in the blanks. Thinking about stealing their lifes and and turning everything into a script or short story or something. Change the location from Florida to friggin Hamburg or wherever and put in some more guys (the few male friends mentioned by the boy are just too blurry...) and it's gonna be universal. I could sell it to german TV. I'm amazed. I wanted to create a radio-play for quite a while, maybe this will do!
I'm just very very happy my friends don't blog. No connections that noone can control! Whenever I read what they've written a tiny spark of guilt pops into my head. Like you're overhearing some quite personal conversations. Then again: if they put it up it's out and about.
*Edit: Ha! I just found out that at least one of them realizes, what it means to post such personal things! Lots of deleting action took place. Doesn't help you, I remember everything...
