The following is an absolutely true story.
I was working at the University today. It's a short, temporary gig. I enjoy working at the University as it allows me to meet new people and make new friends.
A handsome fellow approached me while I was working.
"Aren't you that blogger?", he said.
"Yes, I am, a blogger.", I replied, unsure if I was THAT blogger or not?
"I thought I recognized you," he said.
"Oh, wow. Well, isn't that fun?!"
"Are you a blogger, too?"
"No, I'm just a geek. I just know people who know you."
"Oh, well, I guess that's certainly possible."
"Didn't you just have dinner with Dave Winer and a whole bunch of other people?"
"Yes, I did. Just a few nights ago. If I had known you, I certainly would have invited you, too. Wait, he's coming back through town. Would you like to maybe have dinner with him?"
"Really, that would be so cool!"
"Send me an email. From my blog. I'll see what I can do..."
"Thanks. I'll do that!"
And off the handsome gentleman went. I don't even know his name. And to him? I'm just THAT blogger!
I love it when things like that happen, though. Really. Our gigantic world is just getting smaller and smaller. And moments like that? Well, they really are some of the moments that make blogging so very worth it.
