Title: What Do You Think?
October 22nd. 2 years [since the break up]. Can I do a guest post?I'd like to write about us. Then and now, something along those lines... I'd also like to give your "readers" a chance to ask me any questions they may have for the mysterious "Lynn."
What do you think?- L
Well then. I'm game. Email me your burn questions (if you have any) and I'll get them to her.
66 comments:
I knew this had to happen at some point. I mean, if I were her I would like to give MY side of the story just to set the record straight.
My question is: How did you find SO's blog? Did someone tell you about it? Did you stumble upon it? And also, How did you feel about him blogging about you and your relationship?
So many questions...SO probably won't let you have all of them...
1. How do you feel about SO and your mom being friends?
2. Did you cheat on SO?
3. Why were you and your ex-bf in couples therapy?
4. Do you ever think about getting back together with SO?
5. What advice do you have for SO in order to expedite his mission of getting laid?
6. Do you seriously not read SO's blog?
7. What did he have that SO didn't have?
Holy crap. This is so awesome. What I'd like to know from Lynn is ... what first attracted you to him? That's about all I have.
This guest post is going to be great. Can't wait. Right now it is way too early for my brain to function to come up with questions, so I will be back later.
Good idea. My question. How do you feel about SO now and the comments he gets (most of which are "you're an awesome guy" etc)?
Oh yay!! exciting!!!
ok....
1) After reading So's blog did you see another side to him and maybe consider giving the relationship another go??
2) do you think you two are better off being apart?
3) How do you feel reading some of So's antics? do you get all protective or are you as cool as a cucumber?
4) do you feel weird hanging out with So just as a mate?
5) How do you feel about So getting attention from all us lovely chicks?? (i think someone asked something simular to this)
6) If you could go back and change anything between you and So would you? if so what?
7) can we please have your side of the break up??
8) do you see yourself being married?
9) Have you considered writing your own blog?
10) if you could give So ONE peice of dating advice what would it be and why?
Ok thats it......
Yay!! I'm so excited about the anniversary of your breakup. (im sorry does that sound mean)
I hope you're keeping a hardcopy of everything on this blog. You can turn this thing into a pretty interesting screenplay.
I have no questions for Lynn, okay, one. "How would you feel about being portrayed in a film written from your ex-boyfriend's point of view?"
no questions ... just shows she must still care in order to ask to post here.
I would her to tell us if she ever considers the possibility that you two will end up together down the road, after you've both grown some more. Is it even a remote possibility, or something she'd never consider? If it's the latter, why?
Wow, I don't think I'd be okay with my ex doing a guest post on my blog. But we aren't in as good a place as you and Lynn are. Honestly, I can't wait to read it.
I admit, I'll be interested to see what she says if she does post, but I feel like I need to put in a "no" vote here.
No disrespect, but It's called Starting Over at 24, not hanging on to the past at 24.
It would be interesting just to see what she has to say.
why does she care about this blog or its readers?
You know, I don't have a real question for Lynny Lynn. Definitely compelled though. Should be interesting- the bar is set high and you're not allowed to go into her copy and make her funny.
wow. just... wow.
I have three questions for Lynn.
1) What was your initial reaction when you found out about the blog?
2) How do you feel about the relationship SO@24 has with your mom?
3) Have you dated anyone serious since SO@24?
Interesting, and possibly awkward. I don't have any questions but I'm looking forward to reading!
Why did you leave SO for the other dude?
Do you think you two will ever get back together? (and none of that "who knows what the future will bring" crap!)
Do read the SO blog regularly?
Are you still in love with SO?
Why do you think SO hasn't had sex with ANYONE since you? Is it (his) love (for you) that's keepin' him from getting it on or is it a mad case of high-school-game-itis?
Do you think you two are "just friends" or friends because neither one of you are seeing anyone right now, so it's easy to be friends?
Favorite song?
Best trait of SO?
Can you please ask her why readers is in quotes? We're real! I swear!
This is the scariest thing I have ever seen on a blog.
She does know that your readers have a crazy obsession with you that will mean she will NEVER be right in her eyes?
No wait, I'm not a crazy one....really, I'm not! I only have those pics of you because I wanted to see what you have been hiding behind that @#$%ing blue bar all this time!
I emailed you a question. "First time caller, long time reader." I hope this exercise won't be painful for her. As others have mentioned, many of your readers are obsessed with "your side". This whole experience (your blog, your memories, your feelings) can't be easy on her.
Wow. That's crazy and awesome and brave that she wants to guest post.
... I need to think of some questions now.
If I were her, i'd want to as well.
This should be interesting!
Today is turning out to be a great day, first the Red Sox make a comeback and win game 5 and now we get a quest post from Lynn. Yay!
Ok I am going to think of some questions and get back to you my dear SO.
Its. About. Time.
Personally, I am totally weirded out by this whole concept of being friends with an ex you still love, and knowing she doesn't feel the same way back.. YET YOU ARE GOOD FRIENDS.
My question?
"What's the dealie-o with being friends with an ex who CLEARLY still loves you?"
WOAH.
I'm so in. Writing you a q now.
Eagerly awaiting this post.. would love to know what's inside her head after reading your blog. I'd like to know -
1) Do you miss being with SO sometimes esp. since you guys seemed to have such an emotional bond?
2) Do you ever regret parting ways? Have you considered giving it another shot?
3) If you don't have any romantic feelings for SO but are content being friends, would you offer him dating advice like his other chick friends do without feeling a tiny bit jealous?
Thats about it.. again, can't wait!
Weird...
Wow, could be weird but interesting. I'm looking forward to it. My mind isn't thinking of any other questions other than the one's posted already. Can't wait!
I'd have to agree with Hex, here. The blog is about you moving on. Yes, it would be interesting to hear her story, but it seems like she's trying (perhaps too hard) to remain in your life.
Maybe a compromise would be to have her respond to questions rather than provide her with a bank slate. I dunno.
hmmm this should be interesting! I havnt yet read all your archives so I cant come up with questions!
Whoaaaa....I can't wait for this....
See... I have questions, but I feel like there's no way Lynn will answer them truthfully. Not like anyone would really... it's just too awkward.
But I'll ask anyway since it seems to be a theme here-- do you ever think you and SO will get back together?
Will you at least give him a BJ?
...kidding. kind of.
I can't imagine ever reading an ex's blog, but then again I guess I've always had jealousy issues. So I guess my question is for both of you - how do you manage to remain friends? Were you friends right after you broke up or did you have to have some time off? I know I would need time off to recover.
hrm.. the comments are really interesting.
There's basically 3 catgories.
1) why did/do you hurt SO? (who says he's not doing it to himself)
2) Do you want to get back together? (don't you think they would be if both of them wanted it?) and
3) Wrong move/let go. (my comment on this would be too long for parentheses.)
But besides the email I sent, I thought of one more question. If SO were a character in a movie, which would he be? (like I think hex would be Leon Phelps in Ladies Man)
Lynn,
what are your thoughts on the first kiss story? or tell it from your side. :)
She's a pretty brave lady to face the firing squad so to speak. I only really have one question.
What would you say was the one thing that contributed the most to breaking up with SO?
Um, I'm kinda with Anon @ 6:55 am, though not in a mean way, I swear. But I would like to know why does she care about your blog and your readers? It's your story & your life, you don't share that with your ex-gf and in IMHO it's pretty brazen of her to ask. I say tell her to start her own blog and you'll link to it (cause I'm definitely not uninterested in what she has to say ;) ) but man, ya gotta draw the line somewhere.
Sorry, just throwing another POV out there, I don't want to offend and I'm sorry if I did.
Do you want SO back?
ooooh very cool of her. and you for that matter. but as for a question, i feel like all the good ones have been asked, gah. ummm why did you two break up? do you ever see you guys getting back together or are you both past that point?
that's all i got. can't wait to see the responses/the post.
I have no questions.
No question, just curious to hear what she has to say...
I want Leo's thoughts on the matter!
Gosh, you are f-ing awesome. My first thought was holy sh*t!!!
But, seriously, while I may still read whatever she puts, I only care about what you have to say.
That's all!
"Why don't you and SO just get married already? Yes, seriously."
almost all of my questions are already asked..
i'll just wait for the guest posting..
FOR MORE QUESTIONS!! :)
can't wait to read it! should be interesting :-)
My question is how do you feel about SO having such a following, especially because the blog is based around his break-up with you?
I've been away from the internet for about 5 months straight now. As you can imagine, there's a serious backlog of your adventures in my reading queue. Not a lot of people realize that there's something very comforting about romantic comedies and chick soap opera stuff after months on end of carrying guns and (living/eating/sleeping/showering/contemplating suicide) with nothing but smelly dudes. Swafford was lying. We aren't watching Apocalypse Now or Platoon on endless repeat. Straight from the Cavalry's mouth.
The mere thought of interactions with girls! I saw one out here once...a few weeks ago. No one believes me.
What an awesome idea - I think it's great she seems to be cool about you doing the blog and actually wants to participate!
Geeze...some of these questions are super personal!
So I'll just go ahead and ask mine:
I want to know if SO ever took the blue line off his eyes when you did it.
Or did you like to make him leave it on?
:)
I only have one question for her: Don't you think Gancey should take SO@24 on a hogging expedition for the ages?
Interested in what Lynn has to say...my only question for her (as another girl who is still, at the same age, in the same relationship as at age 18) - do you feel like you needed to become someone on your own, outside of your relationship and separately from the person who you grew up with through college? do you feel like you became the person you are today only due to the fact that you are no longer with SO?
Any regrets?
I woudld love to read her point of view....my question is:
What are your regrets?
lol this is gonna be an interesting post
My question for Lynn:
So how did you feel when you found out that SO was writing this blog about his time with you?
hahaha I love greta's question. that's hilarious! I want that one answered.
i have no questions, just excitement to see this post! :]
ummmmmmmmmm
thaqt could be an iteresting post to read!!! :)
I tagged you in my blog regarding a blogging game. Check out the game at http://www.lovesfool.com
ok so ive only just found your blog as of late but i cant wait to read this guest post and see some of the questions answered!
My first reaction is this thought: "Hmm... I don't really think Lynn is all that 'mysterious'."
I think this is a valid insight; backed-up by the fact that almost every question people have posted are to get at more details about you and not really about the "mysterious" Lynn at all.
Following that trend, my question is shameless, High Fidelity, desert-island style:
What are the top-5 absolute best things about dating SO?
I also agree with others that I am interested in knowing if SO takes off the blue bar while showering or is he a blue bar nevernude similar to Tobias Funke.
Since I'm a relatively new reader, I'm not sure about the story behind your break-up. What I want to know is if she has regrets about ending the relationship?
Ohh... this is interesting! Ummm... as a girl in a similar situation I would want to know...
When did you guys start being open about dating other people? Or do you try to keep those details out of your convos?
