betazoa asked: I saw your tags on the post about having your hobbies used against you, and I just wanted to tell you that I love your dollblogging posts even though it's not a hobby of mine. It's neat & I love hearing about it. So much so that I had a dream last night that a shop found a bunch of rare old Barbies and had them for sale for like a dollar, and I was like I HAVE TO BUY ALL OF THESE AND SEND THEM TO HER, SHE WOULD JUST LOVE THIS. I'm just an internet stranger, but i think you're super interesting!

Friend, thank you!  

It’s still an alien concept to me that anyone could want to hear about something I’m interested in that they aren’t also into, no matter how many times it has happened to me in recent years.  

It really is recent, too.   Literally friends I’ve made in the last five or six years have felt like the first people to listen with sincere interest and I still kind of side glance like, ‘Are you for real right now?  You can stop pretending to be polite.  Don’t you want to change the subject right when I get most excited?’ because I’m just sure this is not how it works, you know? 

I would have super loved being sent a bunch of fucking old Barbies, honestly, and it’s so cool you thought of me even down to your subconscious, wow!  


Thank you again~!
