Serendipity and the Internet


Clearly stumbling across this blog is serendipitous (or annoying)...

Sympathetic devil--Possibly an oxymoron, unless this is a reference to Milton's Satan.

"when mathilde finds"--There are not many famous Mathilde's--there is an asteroid and a Belgian princess. But this makes me think of that short story, "The Necklace" in which Mathilde loses an expensive necklace, which she does not, in fact, find, leading to the story's tragic (that might be overstating the case) end.

leopards that were born yesterday--Well, these would clearly be very naive leopards. Naivety, I must note, being a remarkable and advantageous characteristic that ought not be disparaged.

caught stalking on facebook--Uh-oh. I don't even know how one would get caught, although I did notice once some sort of tracker application where you can tell who is looking at your page. This is remarkably unfortunate and only serves to turn people off to facebook, I think (not necessarily a bad thing). Anyway, the answer to embarrassing things is always to go on with life as if they didn't happen. It makes people uncomfortable to discuss embarrassing things. But definitely only engage in un-catchable stalking in the future.


proving love for a woman--Oh, what a nice urge. Men should mostly concern themselves with this--loving women and proving their love for them. And how easy to do--consistency. Only time proves things finally. And typically lots of presents don't hurt.

bracelets with lepords on them--Um, yeah, I'm going to recommend a bracelet without a leopard (or even a lepord) on it. Actually, I would just go for big earrings, preferably not animal related.
