Unexpected Links and True Love

Alright, this is kinda cool. I logged in to my admin area tonight to make some theme and plugin changes, and I was surprised to find a new “Incoming Link” through Technorati listed…

At first I thought it was a SPAM link, since it didn’t seem to be legible from the portion I saw in my dashboard, but I was soon much more surprised to find that it was in fact in German…

You can check out the original post, and for those of us who are uni-lingual (and not in German), you can view the Yahoo! translation.

The machine translation is pretty brutal, but the jist of it is essentially:

If life is truly like a Meg Ryan movie, then this fits perfectly. Everyone at once now: *awwww*

I’m really touched and amazed that anyone else would be able to connect with my story like that. In years past, I’d have kept everything to myself and never would have been able to get this kind of emotional support and understanding from people obviously around the world. Blogs are truly changing the world, one post at a time…

To the author of that post, I’m truly touched. I still think about Alecia nearly every day, even now, more than 5 months after we realized she was engaged and more than 3 months since I last saw her. Sometimes things like this make you wonder if there really is one true love for you out there, and what happens if you miss that opportunity?

    Hey!
    I am the author/owner of fear.mybigmouth.com ;-)
    I think I wound up here originally through that link from Scoble and then I don’t know how I landed on that post. While the Yahoo translation is quite close to what I wrote, it’s mixed things up a bit. A more suited translation would be “If you want to read a story just like a Meg Ryan movie then this is the place to go” - which was of course meant in the nicest possible way :-)
