Steve sells seashells....

I wrote to this one ebay seller about trying to purchase an enormous lot of seashells. I like to invest in things like seashells. Of course, I'm in hurry to receive them ( as you would be if you were recieving seashells.)So, I sent an email asking if we could work out special shipping if I were to win. About an hour later I got an email back that read:

Hi, Sorry it took so long to answer. My mom is dying and I needed to be by her side. If you win, I will work with you for faster shipping. Don't pay right away until I can figure out the fastest way. I hope this helps. Steve

It made my URGENT RUSH order of seashells seem pretty silly.

It almost sounds like a call for help/attention to the anonymous web. I know that sometimes when shit happens it's a lot easier finding some anonymous person not attached to my life to reach out to. Getting heartfelt kind words from a stranger sometimes mean more then from those dear to us.

Dear Jessica.

I would like to make known that I read your blog and find it quite delightful. We haven't talked in probably... eight months and probably won't for another eight, but will you formally be my friend?
