i should probably pay more attention to links.

i serendipitously found her blog while searching for, of all things, a Buffy and Angel fanpage one sleepless night. about a month ago, i found out that she's actually friends with her, whose links also include one to her journal, one that i've been reading for some time now.

next thing you know, i'll just find out that online crush is really my long-lost son, and that my favorite LJ person (who i think actually knows her in real life, too) was that girl who used to bully me and steal my cookies and fruit juice in kindergarten (i'm kidding, i'm kidding. and if anything, my five-year-old self probably would've raised a hell of a ruckus if somebody actually tried to do that).

but seriously, i think it's nothing short of amazing. it's like friendster or myspace or whatever newfandangled thing they've come up with to track everybody else nowadays. only nicer, because you have blogs and journals to read and none of those pesky invites from people who used to seethe at the very sight of you, but who seem to have miraculously forgotten that when they come begging you for testimonials.

incidentally, if you've found your way here because of this lovely post, i feel obligated to tell you that rosa, even though she tries her best to deny it, is just really one of those excessively kind and wonderful people who sometimes become too generous with compliments. so please don't blame her if you come here expecting "wicked wit" and finding out that i'm just really, well, wicked.

i also feel obligated to add (just in case the boy stumbles upon this one day) that even though i gush about online crushes who remind me of holden caulfield, and adam brody and scott speedman look-alikes, i really am faithful to a fault. boringly so.
