I've even been accused of being snobby when actually I'm very content just doing my own thing. But this just goes to show you, when you connect with someone, it doesn't matter who does the follow-through!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007131858060167081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-33019505967109831932009-03-11T18:08:00.000-07:002009-03-11T18:08:00.000-07:00Hello.

Alot of us are lazy or shy or afraid. Sounds extreme but not meant to be: fear drives alot of behaviour. "What if they don't like me?" "What if I don't like them?" etc. Okay, that's my two cents.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-44347602048162314892009-03-11T07:04:00.000-07:002009-03-11T07:04:00.000-07:00I believe in serendipity, I do.

I also know that there is only so much time in life, and I can't actually be friends with everyone (though I would love to give it a go).<BR/><BR/>Your blinds person sounds great.
