This is the story of how I joined the blogs and met people. I can’t mention any names, so let’s just call them Miss Blue, Miss Beige, Miss Black, Miss Brown, Miss Brass, Miss Bronze, Miss Burgundy, Miss Burnt Orange and Mr Taupe. Don’t ask me about the colours, they know who they are, and why. Actually, don’t ask Mr Taupe either, he scares easily and has a tendency to bite. For anyone who has never tried the blogs, I’d recommend it. If you’re the kind of person who needs half an hour to come up with a witty retort, then this is the place for you. This is conversation in slow motion, ideal for the getting-to-know-you-getting-to-know-that-part-of-me-I-let-you-see process. There are all kinds of blogs too, from the “rip-the-first-thing-off-the-internet-you-find” jokey ones to the “depressing-poetry-I-wrote-myself-while-depressed” meaningful ones. I like to think my blog is a charming combination of the two, with a little “see-how-sensitive-I-can-be-having-posted-a-picture-of-a-kitten” thrown in for good measure. Then, of course, there are the ones where people actually write about what actually happens to them in their actual lives. I tend to find these blogs quite scary as nothing actually happens in my life and I prefer it that way (when something does happen I have to change medication and things just get too complicated). So, anyway, one day I joined the blogs and began to “meet people”. Miss Blue was the first to make non-blog contact. She sent me one of those cryptic emails. “Hi, I like your style. Wanna chat?” I was intrigued. “Like your pic. Maybe we can IM.” I responded teasingly. Things went downhill from there. Miss Beige was more forthcoming. One day in my inbox I found ten censored emails in the bulk section. I don’t know what she wrote, but I dream about her every night. I’ve received more mails from Russian girls living in California since then, but none of them have captured my heart like Miss Beige. Then there is Miss Black. Ah, Miss Black. What can I tell you about her? To be honest, not a lot. It’s not that I don’t know much about her, it’s that what I do know is so gut-wrenchingly sordid that to write about it would mean that this story would never pass the censors. Let’s just say she’s a simple country girl who loves animals and havin’ a good time. Miss Brown came next. Webcams are great. I recommend Kleenex. Miss Brass and Miss Bronze do nothing but send me winks. I tried mailing them, but got no response. Somebody told me that they were really men, actually just one man, who likes to mess with the heads of others. I can’t believe that. I mean, nobody would be so sad as to spend all their time doing something so stupid, would they? Would they? Miss Burgundy runs a small blog out of Antarctica. At least, that’s what her profile says. She also says that on dates she likes “all of the above”, which I find particularly exciting, as that’s what I like on dates too. Somebody told me that some profiles are not a hundred percent true. But that can’t be right. I mean, why would someone lie on a profile if it was obvious they would be found out straight away in real life? It would be like just inventing a character to attract attention without ever intending to meet people in real life. How sad would that be? My special friend is Miss Burnt Orange. She understands me, and I think I understand her. She’s mysterious and I love that. We met once in Paris. It was so romantic. I was heading for Gate 9 at Orly Airport and she passed within a metre of me. She didn’t say anything, but I know it was her. I can’t say any more due to the court order, but she knows how strongly I feel. Then there’s Mr Taupe. Well, really there is no Mr Taupe. He’s my alter ego. The cool, suave and sophisticated blogger I’ve always wanted to be. If he was writing this story, then I’d win a t-shirt for sure. That’s all I want. A t-shirt. And a little attention. Thanks for reading. This is my entry for the FriendFinder Success Stories Contest!. Please visit and vote for me, as I would really like a t-shirt that I could wear down the pub to impress all (yes, all) my friends. Please do it now, before they delete my entry. Thanking you in advance. |

The art of success is to not have any real expectations...then when all is said and done, who is to say whether it was a success or failure. Thanks for posting outside of the box....it does my heart good to know that I am not alone in that place....outside the box that is. I never seem to get to the jumping off place....you make me wish I was brave like you.....then maybe I could jump off and just say it like I mean it....or at least how I see it.....

Sad and scary little satire... Hoping the auto-biographical part is small. By the way webcams can't be that great if just Kleenex would suffice.

Great story! It has intrigue, it has humor, it has mystery. Hmmm it doesn't have F cups tho... Aww I can't help it. Maybe if you and Fancy tie they'll split the T shirt. Enjoy the ride. All you take with you when you leave is the experience.

I see you have a high number at the moment and wishing you all the luck in your endeavor. Requesting permission to return now to my previous assignment caring for General Lydia "Commander and Chief". Stand easy. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all you chaps and chapesses who have done their duty for King and Blog. It reminds me of those famous words of Churchill's (or Winnie as he liked to be called by his chums) "Never has so little been done by so few for something so small"... or something along those lines. We were very, very drunk at the time. Dismissed!

Now Gower, I am really, really disappointed in you and your low down dirty tactics undermining my above board campaigning. My campaign is using huge $$ which could go to charity if you would just stop trying to win the Golden Ball. Now you said you just wanted the t-shirt. Now that can be arranged. I'll get you one in every colour. But since you already have balls, and I don't - I think it only fair that Ladies first and you second. I will proudly wear my ball and hold my head high, well as high as I can since I guess having balls makes you stoop a bit. Hey and if I let you fondle mine, can I fondle yours?"

Speaking of socks, and cheesy porn lines--have you checked out the Sock Puppet Porn vid at the tube? It's usually the very first video, right at the top, with a "funniest sh1t" description.
