happy birthday blog friend
February 26th, 2008 Posted 9:10 am
You are now one year old! We’ve had a great year together, you, me, and Mr. Bee. You have kept me drawing regularly, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I met some really great people through you, and I made really nice friends. Let’s make this next year just as wonderful!

do I know you?
February 12th, 2008 Posted 10:05 am
I was at a restaurant this weekend, with David, when our young, (gay?) waiter guy kept looking at me and smiling, A LOT. This was more than the average waiter/restaurant patron exchange and it weirded me out. After I paid the bill he smiled and said, “Thank you, Ms. Vaziri!” Yeah, I know my name was on my credit card, but do waiters ever do this? It had never happed to me before. And he pronounced it correctly, not that my last name is at all difficult, just say it as you read it. Still most people manage to put the letters out of order or add in mystery letters in the pronunciation.
My first thought was that omg, he must read my blog. I don’t know that for sure, but it increased feelings of creepedoutedness.
No matter how many page views and visitors I have to my blog according to Google Analytics, I still don’t think of them as real people. Every time someone new, like at work, or MY DAD, tells me they read my blog, I just laugh nervously. “Oh! ha ha ha, cool!”.
In less than two weeks it will be my blog’s first year birthday. Will I feel less overexposed with more time?
