I am a good listener. Because of this people don't usually have a problem opening up to me about things they may not normally speak of. That's okay because I am also a good secret keeper. I am generally, not the person spilling someone elses secrets.
This may be the reason that I like to read some of the gossip blogs, or goblogs as I call them. Over the years, I have been told plenty of things. Oh I forgot I also don't usually lend my two cents unless someone asks or a loved one is, in my opinion, in trouble. That fact lends itself to people also doing things in front of me that they may not want most people to know about. Oh boy, the things that I have in my head because of these two traits--it is astounding!
So I was speaking with one of my cousins the other day and she wanted to tell me something that she swore me to secrecy. I was excited to hear because it was about a celebrity that stayed at her hotel. So she begins telling me her story and the first part was shocking to me. The funny part was that this wasn't the part she really wanted me to keep a secret. So she puts on a low voice and begins with the second half of the story. Once it's done I'm like girl, the goblogs have been reporting on this situation for a few months, I tell her the first half is a better story than the part I already knew. I was a little let down because I thought I was going to be privy to new information--that I would have kept to myself. Just as I will still keep the secret even though this celebrity has basically put their business out there them self.
I just think that it's really amusing the things that people are willing to say and do when there is someone around that they can trust to keep the secrets. I will continue to be a good listener and when the secrets are let out or shown to me I will continue to keep them. Oh my, I hope my head doesn't explode from information overload.
