I actually went to school with a girl named Dorchas Cudney. Would you kill your parents in their sleep, or torture them slowly? Anyway, I have an association with a very cool woman in my ward (congregation, thanks Karen), and I think she thinks I'm a dorkas. Truly, she probably doesn't because she's so nice, but have you ever done something stupid in front of one particular person every time you see them? I have. She probably walks away scratching her head at all of our interactions.
To be honest, I can't remember the earliest dumb things I did (except for my bad habit of always saying too much), but it is on my mind every time I see her. One particular incident involved stopping in the middle of the road to jump out and deliver an invitation. I was thinking, "ok Brandy, don't do or say anything stupid." I gracefully leapt from the car and began my trot over to her until out of the corner of my eye I saw my car reversing down the road with my giggling children inside. Nice.
So, I've kept my distance so that next time I don't hurt somebody. Now I am safely stalking her blog, hoping I don't provide her with a virus or something. I found it yesterday and it is wonderful. She's a photographer also, and very talented. Truth is, I am a Dorkas. Just so happens that you bring it out in me. You know who you are and I thank you for not outing me publically. I should be able to live here for about another year before the entire neighborhood holds their breath every time I come around.

OK, I gotta know who this person is! And you are not a dork, you are a cute genuine person who is bubbly and kind.
Great post. :) For the record, I feel like I am one gold velvet couch and a leisure suit short of Napoleonic dorkiness pretty much all the time. Hang in there and I'm sure you will find out she adores you but is too much of a dork to figure out how to let you know. *hugs*
Just had to pipe in here that I have the DVD of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, if you ever want to borrow it. It is definitely a great flick :) And, I don't ever hold my breath when I see you coming. In fact, I smile!
