Imaginary Bloggers' profile (2)

I can't help it. I can't help but to visualize bloggers especially those whom I visit frequently. It is weird how I picture a bloggers profile just by reading their posts. I imagine some men to be skinny, some women with silky hair and so on.

I am obsessed. Have mercy dear bloggers and send me your pics. I was never obsessed with looks as much as personal info when chatting on messenger. But here in the blog world, it's entirely different. Blogs are more personal, open, transparent and honest. Nobody tries to lie or fake their character, only impressing people with well written posts and ideas.

Picturising bloggers reached the extent that when I'm in public I spot people and start guessing everybody's who. I can confirm it sometimes just relying on my judgment based on their blog character. I am sick. I didn't imagine addiction to reach this point. My therapy would be either quitting; a thing that seems impossible at the moment, or you fellow bloggers submitting your pics to me and ending my suffering :p

It would be nice seeing if my imaginary profiles match with the real ones. Sometimes I even change a person's hair color after reading their new post. I am pathetic.
I wonder if anyone has the same obsession, hence, I wonder what my picture would look like based on my blog. I hope it's not just a pink flamingo.

"blogs are windows of the soul" that is my newly found proverb.

Some people suddenly disappear from the blog world thanks to anonymity we don't know if it's death (la sama7 Allah) that took them away or just quitting. I wonder if anyone would miss me when I'm gone (please say that you will) :p

It's after midnight now; my inspiration visits at wrong hours. Good night.

Certainly you are gonna be missed once you quit blogging!

I think you have the right to wonder about how does that person who is behind that blog look like.
I personally don’t mind to send you my picture, but since I am sure after seeing how I look like you will stop visiting my blog, and I don’t want that :P

Have a nice Suffer(Satur)day!

I liked the candid & transparent feelings in your post today.
And yes, I would miss u if you stopped.
So don't stop: nothing more annoying than going to a blog and reading Not Found :)

Brachy
Stop deleting/changing your posts! :)

Purgatory,
You in particular, shouldn’t think this is odd :p

Nooni,
First of all welcome to my blog :)
Why do you blog only when you’re in those moods? :) I got to visit your blog and rate you hehee. I think nicknames matter too along with the blog.

Aquamarine,
Hello there :)and welcome to my blog. I am happy you find it interesting and even happier that I will be missed :) although I find it hard to believe since it's your first visit :pPP Yes curiosity kills and I’m glad I’m not alone :p
I have no idea how the color green relates to me! I don't like it, but I like khaki though :)

Vintage,
Thank you for your sweet words :) and it feels good that I'm not alone. As for the way you look, I'm afraid I got influenced by the color green on your blog, and the picture there and your new "100 things about you" post! You should've waited for my rating :p but let me at least give it a shot.
You are tall (duh)
Hazel/Green eyes (cuz of blog color) :p
Not fat, not thin (duuuuh)
Fair (the girl in the pic is kind of fair)
Silky hair

So what do you think, am I correct? :D


HopelessPoet,
Thank you , thank you, thank you :)
Why do you underestimate your looks, huh? You are my fellow sweet poet and that's what matters and nothing would ever stop me from visiting your blog :p
Now where's the pic? hehee
Suffer(Satur)day? :p
3ad it was a good day, till I got a phone call on my way to kuwait city to do some hala febrayir shopping. My friend told me to go back home cuz of security reasons! :/ so I switched to our jam3iyya and bought lots of chocolates.

Brachypelma,
I still believe blogs are honest regardless of the page you sent :p and yes, it’s the Kuwaiti community, I agree.
The Kuwaiti/English writing is maybe new to you, but I'm used to it and I guess most of us are cuz that's how it's been since online chatting started in Kuwait. And it's the same language used now through SMS messages.
Yes, blogging becomes live as if you're chatting on messenger. And most Kuwaiti bloggers care to reply to comments when many others don't. I guess it's our hospitable nature.
Sure costa is better than starbucks, but it's the fact that it's not widely spread. As for meeting bloggers, yes it would be exciting and I believe Kuwaiti male bloggers already met! some females did too.
Now you're telling me all those people were there? I won't stop remembering the audience now! Especially that I met many contacts there. Here grows the dilemma, thank you for helping me out :p
I don't have to submit my picture too. Cuz I'm the one with the obsession not you :p
And you being my fellow blogger should lend a hand and cure me :p
I know you're not gone. I meant some other people on my post :) and I'm glad you liked the post too.

Flamingoliya said...

Armani,
You rate my blog above 5 stars? That is the sweetest, kindest comment I ever got in my entire blog life. Maybe I should consider submitting my page to the awards giving website :)
You said they fake their ID, but what about the blogs content? Do they also fake their character?
It's interesting how you know all those bloggers! Maybe emaratis are more open than Kuwaitis.

"it's even hard these days to discover the real soul with a person you meet n talk to everyday!"
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!

You are sooooooooooooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Armani I really don't know what to say. Allah ekhaleech 7ag my blog wikhalli my blog 7aggich :)


Jewaira, my paintbrush
Not only you occupy most of my obsession but I also consider you my teacher. That is what I feel when I read you :) I'm glad you liked my post and thank you soooo much for your kind words. And I have to say this, don't YOU ever quit, you are my daily blog dosage.

Purgatory said...

I know, not odd for me, but odd for you.

Flamingoliya said...

purg, i know what you mean. but have you forgotten the guy i thought was you?

Purgatory said...

Yeah i know what you mean, and you are correct.

غسان said...

Flamingoliya said...

Armani,
Blogging for 4 years?! WOW!
Oh my God, does this mean this nightmare will last for years? And I thought 2 months were a lot! :p
Where’s your gallery? Show us something :)
You think I can express myself clear? I never thought of it this way. Maybe because I always compare myself to better writers :)
Wanasa thanks :)))
