Recognition

February 16, 2010 Carly Findlay 7 Comments


Today I went on an errand for work. I walked there and back.

On my way back to work, outside Melbourne Central, a girl stopped me with a ‘HEY!’.

I looked around and there appeared to be no one else she could have been heying at.

So I turned back to speak to her.

She said she recognised me from THIS BLOG.

I had an OMG moment there and then. I shrieked inside.

SHE READS THIS BLOG! SHE RECOGNISED ME! OMG!!!

Outside I was sensible.

Though I giggled nervously, I thanked her for reading, said ‘wow’ a lot, and thanked her for reading again.

I was truly flattered that a stranger-reader stopped me to say hi and that they read my writing.

Her name is Madeline. Hi Madeline, and thank you, if you read this!

I’m still shrieking and wowing inside ๐Ÿ™‚

    I loved that you messaged me today with the news!

    I had a big grin on my face & celebrity flipped my hair, wondering if anyone would ever recognise me…. ๐Ÿ™‚

    What a well deserved response to a fantastic person. x

    Thanks Alex.

    And Rach – I had to tell someone who understands what it's like to have a blog and wonder if anyone reads it!

    I was on TV once reading my poetry and someone stopped me to say they saw me on TV.

    Good on you Carly! I think speaking with the ABC would be a very positive thing. Have fun tonight! Let loose. Xox
