I think it's human nature to gravitate towards others who we think might "get" us. Generally, those that help us feel like ourself and comfortable are those we seek to interact with.

I'm this way with Beyond The Pedway for the most part. Companies that are smaller, scrappier, and full of fun, creative people (people I'd most likely hit it right off with) are companies that I seek out intentionally. They're not the only types of companies I chat with, but I definitely gravitate toward them because they "get" me.

I feel like it's SO hard to find. And I feel so completely flipping elated when you find someone who gets IT and you. The combination is powerful and unique. It doesn't just happen. So hold onto that mind-hot mindcrush, taking it as it comes, and enjoy it WOOO

Wait, did you just say “cupcake?”

Sorry, I'll hush now. (Note to self: keep it clean, or at least try David.)

Jamie – did you just coin mindgasm AND mindorgy?! BRILLIANT! Sorry Sydney – I know you're trying to keep this clean. So the last thing I'll say is that we have SOOO moved past cupcakes and I'm scared for the Internet, our blogs, and SXSW now.

Wait, did you not get the memo? All these ladies are coming over for a sleepover at my hooker apartment in Italy tonight. Except we're not going to sleep. And we're not going to be wearing clothes.

I have to give you humongous mad props for calling me out when I was getting all passionate-face at the house before I moved to Chicago. Since then, I've identified what it is that gets me all riled up and can easily ID the people that get me there. And I'd still give you props for it even if you weren't my father.

As far as the 10 minutes thing goes - pretty much every post here goes out the way that it was written. Sometimes I give Jamie a sneak peak on the good ones, but that's just how I write. I get so behind something that I wake up at 3:30 (this morning) and write it, furiously vomiting words until its out. Then it gets put in a logical order that normal humans can follow and published. I don't really mess around with worrying about style or punctuation - I'm Unfiltered - and Unfiltered = imperfect, whatever imperfect may be.

And as for getting points for helping people and how the universe will repay me... I think that's what I'm experiencing now. And it feels good to get something nice in return - in this case - in the form of human emotion and great company.

So the comments got a little off - but this whole world is a little off. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

AND ITS ALMOST TIME FOR ME TO COME HOME!! SO FREAKING EXCITED!
