My Shiny

The purpose of this blog is to explain a certain word. The word is "Shiny".

I have a problem with being easily distracted. I can be right in the middle of a conversation and if I hear someone talking about something else that is interesting, and I actually know them, I will drop my conversation and join the other. I am aware that I do this quite frequently and I make fun of myself often. Right before I switch to the other conversation I will say, "oooh, shiny". People that know me well just laugh and know that I will doggedly return to their conversation in a moment. I really am not intentionally rude, but I guess it can come off that way. Most people just laugh at me. I really don't mind.

The other definition is best described by talking about a friend of mine. (Now I've done it) My friend has this guy that she likes... sometimes she's not entirely sure why, except that he is really good looking. Hey, it is what it is. He is smart, too, but I think she downplays that so we won't all know how much she really likes him. Can you believe that we are all in our thirties??? Anyhow, when he comes to say hi she sighs and says, "hmmm, shiny". She has even referred to him as 'her shiny'. I think that is funny.

If I were to call a person shiny it would probably be because they were losing their hair. I know, I'm weird. I just have so much fun with the people that I hang out with. They 'get me' more than others in my life do. I can be my wackiest, bizarre self and no one has a cow. They do not mind that I am easily distracted and often forget my thought in the middle of my sentence. (This would be why I write... I have proof of where I was headed with thoughts) I don't really know what they think of me other than they enjoy laughing with me... or was it at me? I think that it is both because they also talk to me about serious stuff, too.

Either way, I love hanging out with them, too. Shiny.

Love to you all out there, Muffinhound
