Some Call it Nosy...

...but I like to call it curiosity!

Random #3 - I love to be in the center of everybody's business.  Wow.  Once I say that out loud it sounds pretty bad, but whether or not it's scaled down or blown up it's the truth.  That is why the following can be fun, addictive, enjoyable, waste of time adventures -

I want to know who's dating who, what so and so said, why you're sad today, etc. etc.  At times this is a beneficial trait and, I feel, makes me a better person.  I remember birthdays.  I love to send cards when people are happy, sad, getting better, engaged, having a baby.  I'll listen if you need an ear.  I keep up with current issues.  I'm constantly discovering new things.

But it can have a negative effect when I use those powers for evil (ok, evil is dramatic, but it's how the phrase goes).  I spend lots of unproductive time looking at people's pictures, reading useless information on blogs (no offense blogging friends.  I have my own useless info right here), flipping through pages of who wore what to the awards show.  To more private people (i.e. my fiance) I can come across as pushy and nosy when that's not my intention.  I'll even admit (and you facebookers should too) that sometimes I know information about someone simply over the internet!  And then I have to keep my mouth shut when I see them in person so I don't look like some stalking fool!

Anyhow, there you have it.  Now I'm off to check out my blog roll for the day :)
