[Sometimes it's hard to find the right way to connect.]
Hello.
*blink*
I've been feeling a little disconnected with this here blog lately.
Which, unfortunately, means I'm feeling a little disconnected from you.
Because, as you know, *leans in and whispers* it's all about you. Yes, there are one or two other readers but you and I both know that it's YOU that's important. So, I thought I'd write you a personal message so you understand how much you mean to me, even if I haven't posted anything for your consumption lately. Yeah, a personal message through the blog. That's always a good idea. What better way to keep a personal connection than with a public but oh-so-specific note, right?
But, just so other people don't feel ostracized and icky (nobody wants that, right?), just pick the choice in the parentheses that you know is intended for you.
Dear You,
I like what you're doing with your [ear/chest/toe/special] hair these days. It really suits you. And I've always thought your [smile/smell of chickpeas/left eyelid] was unusually compelling. Plus, I've been meaning to tell you for what seems like years that when you said what you said about [Lindsay Lohan/chitlins/commodity based derivatives] I felt like: FINALLY! Someone really gets it! But that's just how you are. You cut through all the nonsense and let people know what's on your [mind/emergency preparedness plan/anti-itch shelf]. You're special. I know people say that all the time but I really mean it. Nobody else has your [peanut butter licking skills/1930s style/way with a ball peen hammer].
Never change.
Hoping to hear back from you soon!
Yours in [friendship/inappropriate looks/class action settlement partnering],

I KNEW it! I'll be [running, walking, jogging] [to, away from, around] you as fast as I can.
Someone finally noticed my left eyelid!
There you are! I totally understand your [pain/feelings of disconnection/boredom]. I'm currently in the midst of dragging myself through through a month of daily posts just to see if it will help to reactivate my interest.
And thanks for the deeply personal message - I feel so special now. Actually it's a lot more fun for me to blog when "my people" are out and about too. So welcome back!
You ARE alive. :)
I love Mad Libs! And personal notes. You're the best :)
I'm always amazed at how quickly people [pick up on/adapt/plagiarize/copy/emulate/appropriate/steal/pirate/lift/filch/imitate/use/usurp/replicate/reproduce/duplicate/purloin/pilfer/swipe] ideas from blogs.
It was like you were watching me licking peanut butter as I read that. Scary. I'm too freaked out now to say anything witty.
I love every inch of this post :)
i KNEW you'd appreciate what i'd done with my special hair! :)
Yeah, that personal connection is what it's all about, isn't it?!
Most people would be too polite to mention that I smell of chickpeas, but I like your directness!
