Do people have a blog crush?

I was reading through my old posts and saw this. Thought I’d repost this again.

—————————————————–

I just stumbled across someone’s blog, confessing that she has a secret “crush” on someone’s blog, so that got me thinking. I wonder if it’s possible to have a crush without even knowing that person or never met the person before, like a complete stranger.

I have this scene in my mind that during your boring times or being sleepless at 3 am in the morning, you decided to check out your friends’ blog, despite the fact that you already checked a few hours ago. Ah, nothing new except for one new comment in ur friend’s blog, you followed the link and read the comment. Something about the comment got your attention and you’re curious who wrote that comment, so you clicked down the author and it turned out s/he has a blog too.

You’re reading her/his entries and the more you read, the more you become fascinated. You click on “previous posts” for more reading, then clicked again for more posts. Without knowing, you’re hooked to the blog and you decided to click on the << to go all the way back to the first ever entry (which is like a few hundred entries back), so you could imagine her/his life better in a chronological order.

The first entry said something like “Well, this is my first entry and I’m just going to babble about my thoughts, life, love, experience, etc and I know no one probably will read my blog anyway.” You found yourself thinking “Hey! I love your blog! I’m reading all of your entries! There IS someone who does read your blog.” Now you’re thinking, “I wonder if this person post some pics?” and off you went looking for pics. “Ooo! I see pics! hmm, that person is good looking.”

So within a few half-hours later, you’re still up and you have read each entry, you know what s/he likes, her/his favorite foods are, movies, etc. You know what their friends look like and what an asshole her/his ex-spouses were. You bookmarked her/his blog and check their blog right after you check ur daily email box.

Once in a while, you’ll try to drop off a comment and wait to see if s/he will respond to your comment. You may have found out where s/he lives and how far they live from you. You spend ur day daydreaming about meeting that person and what would you say if you did.

Wait a minute, maybe this doesn’t sound like a crush.

*update* - looks like I’m not the only one. Found this post: blog crushes. Another one at Reveal Your Blog Crush.
