musings in a short skirt

I am accidentally wearing an indecently short skirt in the office today. I'm sure it wasn't quite this small when I put it on this morning. Ah well. It's having a funny effect on my male colleagues. They have all had a good look - some furtively, others less so - and then been completely flustered upon making eye contact and realising that, yes, I did just catch them checking out my legs.

I'm writing a feature about different online identities and I'm almost tempted to 'out' the blog. It annoys me sometimes that I can't own up to it. I tell people that I blog and then go all coy about the blog address. It's been my guilty little pleasure for a long time and I'm not really sure why - after all, I'm a writer, and this is writing, right? But it just feels more open somehow, more candid, this way. I've blogged before about how Zuzula has taken on a life of her own and it would be a shame to take that away now. Besides, I wouldn't be able to brag about my bedroom skills in front of my peers, would I? And I certainly wouldn't be able to slag off my boss. Which wouldn't leave me with a great deal of material.

Anyway I'm not completely hiding my light under the proverbial bushell it seems (whatever a bushell is). According to google stats my little blog had 1500 visitors last month. That is just insane. Rather hilariously, one visitor found me by typing 'being a dissapointment' (sic) into Google. Thanks guys! I mean. Give me some credit. At least I can spell.

If I'd known you were all coming I'd have put the kettle on... I guess you'll have to make do with the short skirt instead.

It's funny about short skirts, isn't it? When I put one on, the staring just doesn't stop. Or leering, in cases.

So, did you ever sign up for Second Life?

Haha! Its great isn't it, did a similar kinda thing on Tuesday... it was all good until randoms were beeping me at the bus stop... Eeeek!

I know how you feel about the blog, and outing it. I've been using mine as an easy way to explain what was going on. However, the more that know, the less I can slag people off when they upset me.

But keep your blog as it is... its such good fun to read :-)

Grace - ah, thank you :) x

Now I'm wondering if you've ever caught my eyes wavering when you have a certain gorgeous shirt on...

Oh, and simple solution to blogging - start a seperate work-unsafe blog. Or combine the two by using LiveJournal - it lets you restrict certain posts to registered friends who you've authorised. Or maybe blogger has a similar system...

Ah give second life a go... I've made some fantastic friends out of it!

If you do go on, let me know and I'll meet you on there and show you about
