February 12, 2013: Morning Open Thread
Last week's poll on acronyms made me realize that it really doesn't much matter what I write because it's too damn early in the morning to really understand it.
But it taught me something else. I think we have a lot of morning lurkers. After all, 58 people responded to the poll and I didn't have to imply that anyone was being banned.
Last week's acronym poll.
This got me wondering. What keeps you coming back to MOT? What made you peek in the first place? If you only drop in every once in a while, why is that?
If you're like me right now, life is busy. I don't have the time to check in on a daily basis anymore. And I miss the camaraderie. That's the reason I come back. I want to know how everyone is doing and I like sharing what I'm doing as well. Moving three times in three years means that though I build local friendships, they're still in the starting stages as we're getting ready to leave. I get to keep you guys around even after I move and I appreciate that very much.
I can't even remember why I peeked in the first time... could be because I saw JaxDem's name. I can't resist a fellow military wife's writing and her's is some of the best! Could be just because I was pimping a diary... I can be pretty good at that as well when I'm actually writing a diary worth pimping.
And now I'm only dropping in every once in a while because of schedules. Not enough time in the day. And the conversation is time specific. We don't keep those threads going for much beyond a couple of hours so by the time I can check in, I might drop by one of the other dailies. But I always do it with a tinge of sadness that I missed the MOT.
Which brings me to some sad news - I won't be writing MOT's for the months of March and April. On top of school, I have family visiting and I've decided that I have to take a break. But that doesn't mean I won't be back. And I will finish off the month of February.
Have a great day everybody and I'll try to get in some conversation down below before heading out to class!
