Let me preface this whole post by saying I'M HAPPILY MARRIED. That said, let's just get on with it.
Yes, I have a fair amount of FAKE boyfriends:
*Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies. I'm been crushing on him for over 10 years. Witty, cute, great songwriter...yum.
*Jim from the Office...not the actor (John Krasinski) but the fictional character who shares his adorable face and wears his heart on his sleeve. Of course, I have been (on multiple occasions--insult or compliment?) told I am Pam-like so maybe that has something to do with it as well.
*I had a strange dream about IA winner David Cook last night, but that doesn't count, right?
OK, let me come clean, I occasionally think about my REAL past boyfriends and crushes, usually when a certain song comes on the radio or when I see someone who looks like them. I'm assuming this is normal. But my spirits were raised this morning because I realized the street runs both ways.
You see, it all started innocently enough. I got an e-mail from reunion.com saying someone searched me. They send these ridiculous blips out every once in a while just so you'll pony up and buy their service to find out who was searching you. Well, after I clicked on the free link (curiosity killed the cat and all) they narrowed down the person to a 30something who went to thiscertain high school. At first, I was racking my brain trying to figure out this damn puzzle--then all the pieces clicked into place. Yep, my serious college boyfriend searched for me. I'm embarrassed to report this info leaves me all smug yet with a spring in my step. Someone (OK, not just someone) wanted to see what I was up to. Sure, I've been curious about his life in the past (last I heard he was married with a few boys) but here was actual evidence I had mattered enough to be curious about. Point for me!
Then I panicked, had I ever used reunion.com to look someone up? Crap. Suddenly, I feel like my privacy has been invaded...how dare they! Is this legal? Is there a way to turn it off? Oh well, if I can make one person feel like they mattered on my road to becoming who I am now, I'm OK with it (mostly). So, Mark, Ed, Josh, even (yick, what was I thinking?) Brad and the many crushes (Ben and Chris come to mind), thanks. And thanks Chad--if you ever read this don't get mad because without them, I wouldn't have made it to you. I love you (mostly)!
So remember folks, when curious, remember to google ONLY.
