Open Door Policy

Some of you may have noticed that not only have I been blogging a lot recently but that a lot of the posts have been fairly open or deep in my thinking.  It's true, I've been thinking a lot more lately but I've also wanted to share my thoughts...I blame it all on one of my friends...but in a good way.  You see, I've been a lot more open with this friend and find that I just want to let it all out.  I'm not necessarily sure why I do this other than the fact that it feels like I should and a few other reasons that I'm not so open about with the whole world.  Anyways, I blame this friend because the barrier has been broken, the wall has been breached, the door has been opened that only a very select few have been able to do and this friend not only accomplished this but has now left it open for others to come in as well.  It's been a good thing.

The thought that I wanted to share tonight is again information that I wouldn't necessarily just share with everyone but I've been thinking about it recently and want to just put it out there.  You see, I have had several conversations over the years about dating and even dating strategies.  Some people are very strategic about dating while others are not.  I find people's dating ideas and ideals to be interesting.  Other conversations have even included dating styles.  The most well-known would be the shotgun approach versus more of a sniper rifle.  I never really could peg myself as either one of those, maybe on some occasions I would take a few steps one way or the other, but not really my focus.  Someone pointed out that I'm probably more of a trapper.  (I encourage my roommates to use more of a guerilla warfare approach...they don't ever listen to me though, I wonder why?)  In following the analogy of Trapper Julie, I find that it probably does better match my personality/style.  In a recent conversation, it was brought up that  I'm not very aggressive in dating, that's just not me.  So, in being a trapper, I do lure in a few but I am quite the humanitarian and unless my "captives" tell me they want to stay, I usually let them go (quite easily at times).

So there you have it folks...more insight to Julie with just the right amount of crypticism (see I even included a made-up word).
