What I do like a lot about your blog is that not only do you show off some cool stuff, you are also just a really nice person. You embrace everyone and I know a lot of us do that, but it is nice to still see, because the real world isn't always so kind. Take care and I hope you have a nice Friday!!

The people who I work with and am friends with know all about my love for comics and VHS and toys and they know I -have- a blog, but I've deflected any inquiries about what it's called or where to find it. For me, it's that I'm more self-conscious about my writing ability than I am the things I write about. I can't imagine that being a problem for you. <br /><br />Is my way of saying that I'm always envious of your posts. How you're able to write about your passions so eloquently, but still with an atmosphere of fun.<br /><br />Hello, my name is Green-Eyed Monster. <br /><br />Grr-argh.the Trash Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102451795524437819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930128877122660917.post-77703243165786287762013-08-30T05:43:32.413-07:002013-08-30T05:43:32.413-07:00It might not be so bad an image but I'm pictur...It might not be so bad an image but I'm picturing it combined with the Devil costume...Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06438741309061958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930128877122660917.post-92094394805004931682013-08-29T15:17:39.590-07:002013-08-29T15:17:39.590-07:00I don't dust very often... it happens, just no...I don't dust very often... it happens, just not as much as it SHOULD.

A lot of other bloggers refer to me by my first or whole name and it doesn't bother me one bit... but I try to keep a low profile as far as talking about it with people I work with or people in my extended family. I don't know why. I'm not ashamed about it by any means... and people have seen my cave before (and the reactions have been positive and appreciative) I talk about the fact that I like Goodwill and I talk about the fact that I collect toys and the like... but I feel like if my work life and my blog life mixed and people read my thoughts on this stuff... I don't know. It worries me I guess.
