My dark confession.
June 30th, 2005Dear public,
I am an eavesdropper. Know that if I am in earshot, I am probably listening to your conversation. No matter how hard I try, I have to know about your failed marriage, your new house, the best sex you ever had, your mom’s sister’s bone cancer. I can’t help it. It is my guilty pleasure.
I promise that you will always remain anonymous to both me and my blog (if you are talking about something so interesting that I can’t help but share it… see this post as an example). Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Michie

Dear people I eat lunch with,
I am not listening to you. Odds are I can get you to repeat what you are saying to me, so I am trying to listen to the conversation going on behind me. I don’t think they would like for me to interrupt to ask them to repeat themselves. You, on the other hand, will repeat yourself, without getting too annoyed.
It isn’t that what you are saying isn’t interesting or important, but I am addicted to eavesdropping (see above letter). Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Michie
Hee, I’m an eavedropper, too. Guilty as charged, but not sorry. Not one bit.
