Help me get this viral, maybe?

Dear Mr. Hiddleston,

            Hi, my name is Kimberly, and I feel sort of silly since you’ll probably never going see this, but here it goes.

 I could tell you my sad, sad story, but it is boring.  So instead I would like to tell you that I think that we should be good friends.  I know that probably sounds ridiculous coming from a twenty-three year-old girl from Bountiful, Utah, but I’m a good friend.  I’m sure you have many good friends, so I have a few reasons why we should become friends:

First, I enjoy watching movies.

Second, you seem like a kind man.  I am kind too, at least I am really trying to be, but there is always room for improvement right?

Third, conversations that are intelligent and witty with some humor mixed in are my favorite.  I love learning through conversation it’s the best. 

Fourth, I need a friend like you, not talking about the famous man with the loving fangirls (which I have no problem with) I’m talking about the guy with the gracious heart, the ability to nerd/geek out, and the personality that most people dream to have. (too cheesy?)

Last, I don’t desire autographs or memorabilia.  My desire is for a friend, some one to call/text to share good news with or to chat when having a bad day.  A friend to laugh with and share inside jokes with.  I would definitely keep it between us (even though I’m putting this letter on the internet) because true friendship is not something to brag about, it is something to enjoy with each other.

So Mr. Hiddlston, I hope to be able to call you Tom and my friend.

Sincerely,

Kimberly

P.S.  I have friends too, but I feel like there is always room for more.

the accidental learning experiment.

I get bored.

yesterday I was extremely bored.

so in a fit of wanting to entertain myself I went to the good ol' fb (pronounced eff bee). I had a spark of insanity to post this.

it started slow, only had three 'likes' after about an hour. I thought to myself after those messages were sent, "well this was a fun experience, whatevs." more and more slowly came through.

now for the kicker, what I learned.

I could drone on about how we find the bad in people all the time (which is true, don't deny it) and we run with it. Most of the time I use my social networking for saying "ha, I'm better" not in so many words, but basically that's what happens.

but, but, everyone who I got to send a message to, I was very surprised with what I felt about them. I had to change my attitude from them being just an ordinary person to pushing to see how they are amazing. and oh boy they are.

I would be lying if told you that it was easy to come up with things to write, because well some people I hadn't even seen for five or so years, and there are two that I personally haven't met. not wanting to back down from my challenge that I blasted over the fb, I actually said a prayer about it, about these people.

the beautiful attributes hit me hard.

I was able to let these people know how they are beautiful, why I see them as kind, what their witty attitude does, who they help to be happy, where they have affected my life for the better.

not that I expect replies, because that is not the purpose of my challenge, but some have replied with simple 'thank yous' and questions of why I did this. but one sent me a message before I could send his to him, the gesture alone was enough to make my day, let alone what he wrote being genuine and heartfelt, he gave me a taste of what I might be doing for others.

maybe I was blessed being able so say simple things to people and let them interpret them how they want, or maybe I was blessed with seeing a glimpse of how our Savior sees them. all I know is that I am so amazed of how marvelous each person is.

I was honored with this idea, one that I thought to be silly at first, but I am thankful for this. I am thankful for the people who participated. I learned something valuable, where the incredible lies.

starving for followers.

being popular in real life is a lot different than being popular online.

twitter - a whopping 18 followers. which is more than expected because I didn't start to even understand twitter until about three days ago. 

instagram - 199 followers. thats a good solid number. I really don't really expect to get any more than that. other than the fact that my best friend doesn't follow me. jerk. okay joke. 

facebook - 1,128 friends. only because I can add people too. 

blogger - 12 followers. twelve. I'm okay with twelve. there are many personal blogs with a couple thousand. I would get scared. or go writing crazy. 

attempting more social media accounts then the ones that I already have seems like a daunting task. I am not ready.

real life friends are great. even better a real life boyfriend is great. online hand holding just doesn't sound nice. 

perfect couple. instagrammed.

it's fine, I just fell into the norm of popularity. it was either get engaged or get instagram, those seem to be the only two things going on nowadays on the fb, so I chose the lesser of the two commitments.  

I have always had commitment problems, it all started with the piano, it lasted six months, then we broke up. I miss that relationship, it was a good learning experience, I still go back to it every once in a while, but nothing too serious. I love pulling up the bench and following a youtube piano tutorial, or plunking out a hymn, or a violin song that I know by memory. but that's where my true heart lies, with the violin. I need to stop leading the piano on.  

getting on the fb today I now have seven more friends engaged. it may seem like a lot. it is. first off I want to say, congratulations and every other cliché sentiment. back to my new relationship, its fun and refreshing and I get to flaunt it to the world on fb, but I don't feel as cheesy as those who are flaunting the engagements with all the new events like "guess who's tying the knot" or "another wedding address event" or "annoying+whipped=forever!!!"

let me give you a little run down of my new beau's past. instagram is a free photo-sharing program and social network that was launched in October 2010. The service enables users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it with other instagram users they are connected to on the social network as well as on a variety of social networking services. insta(nickname) has over 100 million register users, according to wikipedia. as you can tell insta is the popular/pretty one.

you have the typical
duck face (we added hairy moustaches)
picture with a filter.

and the semi-cute picture with a rounded border to make
look ever more adorable. 

over all I kinda like insta.
