I like this meme and it feels like a good day to use it again. I am currently sewing and cleaning (till work at 2pm)... so talk to me. :)

Anonymous post....

I've always been a keeper of secrets, a falling apart pirate chest filled with old memories and faces and kisses disguised as golden coins. I've seen this done, and I think I want to try it.

Please, just post anonymously (that's the only condition).

Tell me anything. A secret. Something you might have wanted to say to me. Something you might have wanted to say to someone else. A sin. A Triumph. A crush. A lust. Something. Anything. Everything. Tell me something. Give me something to ponder, exclaim over, become inspired by or even maybe cry to when I come home after the sun is beyond my sky. Share with me, and I promise, I'll share with you.

I apologize for the long delay in my reply. It took me some time to figure out the songs that you have referenced here. But I believe now I have them... Well there names, their words... I don't own them and have not heard them. Something I will work to rectify soon... But correct me if I am wrong...

Collin Raye - The Walls Came Down - All My Roads and...
Harry Connick Jr. - Only You - You Don't Know Me

Maybe... Maybe I could be all you want... But I am still scared to try... I have spent half my life looking for this person for my life. I fear the chances of connecting randomly... Anonymously... In a LJ seems unlikely. But yet I return to this post looking for responses. Looking to see what bits of themselves other people have left. Intrigued, hopefully and terrified.

Scared is easy to do and to hide behind. It is the depth of trust and blind faith in love working out that is so much more dangerous but so worth it in the end.

Maybe it was the pause in looking that lead you here to me and this.

Hmmm... it is possible... I guess there is really no way to know unless we take a chance and find out. So here is the chance... No promises... No expectations... No pressure... But with hope. If you want you may email me...

No... It is not my realy email address. I am still hiding... Hiding behind a forwarding address. But now... I am just mostly hiding from email address harvesters...

Well... I am not sure what has happened...

I got your email and replied.

Maybe I said something you found distasteful...

Maybe You didn't even receive my reply...

Maybe... Well I don't feel I should speculate further. But if you are wondering why I haven't emailed you... I have... And something has gone awry with the correspondence. If you have my reply and have chosen not to reply to me, I understand and you can disregard this inquiry.

I guess I just want to you to know... I was there to try...

You are correct, and I'm impressed! Have you found these songs yet? I wasn't sure that I would find my way back to this site. There is a reason that I've been away for so long - several actually. I have wondered from time to time whether or not you responded. I am a little surprised to return and find that you did figure out my clues, and then someone else pretended to be me in responding to you. Maybe I was meant to be a matchmaker.

I understand your fear. I have been afraid to try for a long time also. Suddenly, I find that I am more afraid not to. Can two people connect randomly, anonymously? Perhaps there is just as good a chance of that as two people connecting who've known each other for a long time. Maybe, because we can say things anonymously that are hard to say in person, it's easier to connect this way. Are you still there? Does someone else have your heart? I had given up you, should I continue down that road?

I just happened upon this page. Interesting what people will write from the safety of disguise. This post is the most interesting to me on this page. It starts with someone, desparate to share themelves, pretending that they are writing with the goal of remaining unknown. You do know, don't you, that you wrote this really in the hopes that someone would find you here? Someone who would read your words and understand you! And someone bit - responded and tried to connect with you. You pushed them away to start. It's not until a note later that you suddenly seem interested, and so I can't help but think that you brought someone here - perhaps asked them to read this blog. A huge step for you. I say this because, first, you're not interested and then suddenly, you want to meet them offline. Aahhhh - then the twist. Someone posing as someone who left a post. So much drama - so much sadness and desperation here. This site has been cold for years. I doubt any of you still visit here. (Though I wonder if the original author doesn't return every once in a while - just in case.)

I wonder where you're at - if you've connected - troubled soul/original author and cautious optimist who sees the world in terms of song lyrics (good choices by the way). If I had to guess, I think I could tell you the ending of this story. I think you do know each other. My guess is you've long ago admitted this to each other. I presume the original author freaked out and pushed the optimist away - far enough away that you're not even friends anymore. Don't you understand, optimist? Some people spend so much time fostering their unhappiness that, even when something good comes into their life, they can't help but choose to be unhappy. It's all they know. Since only they can change that behavior, your love is better invested elsewhere (though I'd guess that "saving lost souls" is kind of your thing.

Guess I'll never know but regardless, it was fun to speculate.
