Is this heart thing driving anyone else nuts??
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 12:29 PM by converted_democrat
About 2 hours ago someone gave me a heart.. All I can think about is who gave it to me.. It's driving me up a wall..I'll be the first to admit I have some "control" issues, but this is driving me nuts.. I HAVE to know who gave me the heart.. I can't think about anything else.. I want to know where that heart came from.. I can't get my mind to think about anything else.. I just got up from the computer a few minutes ago to get some more coffee.. I stubbed my toe, and burnt my hand on the coffee warmer.. I'm totally preoccupied and can't even focus on simple tasks.. This can't be healthy.. This is driving me nuts.. I'm very thankful for getting the heart, but I wish they weren't anyonomous..

on edit- I left a how bunch of words out on the first draft, because I van't think straight.. Just added them so the message makes sense..

1. We can find out, via the scientific method
Just need people who did NOT give you the heart, check in..and by a process of elimination, you can figure it out :)
:evilgrin:


I was not the one.. (one down, and 79K or so to go)

6. what heart thing?
j/k.

The way you put that makes me think of this, though:

"TRUE! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses - not destroyed - not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily - how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture - a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - very gradually - I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever."

7. I gave it to you..
Don't let the facts get in your way. Sure, I don't have a gold star. I was also picking up four yards of potting soil two hours ago.. But, I gave you the heart, I love you.. Please stop obsessing over my tiny gesture.

I thought I knew where at least one of mine came from. Turns out I was wrong and now I have no idea at all.

15. Look at everyone's sig lines
The little hearts - they are part of Skinner's fundraiser. Clever idea, actually.

30. No, I personally think it's a great opportunity to be open to RECEIVING
and for being in GRATITUDE for it showing up at all. I give thanks for all the Love sent my way and I keep the energy flowing by giving it back. If you question it, that seems to block the energy, imo.

Why not let yourself rest in the knowledge that you are loved? :shrug: We all deserve LOVE, afterall....

The anonymous thing doesn't bother me one bit, either. Indeed, I think it makes it more fun that way!

:hug:

32. Why do you have to know?
Just take it as someone likes your posts. It's a nice gesture.

35. I know it's a nice gesture, and I'm thankful for it... Don't get me wrong.
I just want to know.. It's just driving me up a wall.. I can find the answer to just about anything via the net.. I'm an info junkie.. Almost every question I've ever posed to myself or had posed to me I could answer in a few short seconds.. This is something I can't figure out and I can't answer, and it's driving me wild.
