On the Brink, No Less

Ok so I’ve come to really love you guys and trust you… so I feel I can let you in on this little secret:

Sometimes, you making dating hard.

I am so proud of my life, proud of what I’m doing, love StarKid, love you guys… but c’mon, we’ve all experienced trying to explain this crazy world to outsiders, right?

I wish I could tell you how many dates I’ve been on where the guy has decided its a fun idea to google me and then… GAH! What is this world?  Why are their college pictures of her everywhere?  Why does she have so many twitter followers?  Who’s this glee kid?!?

So my new theory is that StarKid, and all of you,  are my illegitimate child.  You were a happy accident and I love you more than life, but you I just cant bring it into the game until a few dates in… and its for everyones protection.  No need to scare off the unsuspecting and unassuming gentleman, but also all of you and the whole thing mean too much to me to introduce too early on, you dig?

So tonight I had a date (completely dreaded it, turned out great) and what do you know, the conversation of twitter comes up and he says:  ’I’m not on twitter, seems cool.  Do you have many twitter followers?’

“Uh… yeah a few.”  Obviously strikes intense curiosity in said gentleman.  He persists.  And persists… desperate to know what the strange flicker of knowing was on my face.

And thus I explained the theory of the illegitimate children.  I think everyone has metaphorical illegitimate childen, and it is in everyone’s best interest that we keep them under wraps until a little bit of trust and understanding is at play.  And he accepts.  Switching topics, dodged that bullet!

Luckily, I dont think he knows my last name.  So I think I’m saved for at least a little bit :)

Hey… you guys rock.  Thanks for listening to my post-date rant.  I can’t wait to introduce someone to you guys one day, and to this internet community, and to all the love and support you’ve shown us… but easy does it, right?  We’ve got to slowly bring people into our silly crazy wonderful world.

Oh, you guys rock.
