the attention whore.



I often lay in my bed with my ipod in ears, just listening to all the great songs I have accumulated in my musical collection.  It ranges from B2k to Bjork. At times a dance track would play, and then it begins...

There I am, moving and dancing to the beat. My legs move under the covers, and then I let go. I am engulfed in my own mind, and I am the star. If only you guys could see what I see?

Maybe that is why I created my youtube videos and my reality series. To try and show people MY VISION.  Or maybe I am just the attention whore. Call me what you will, but I know that YOUR one to. Oh yes YOU! In one way or another, we ALL are attention whores. Some of us are big whores, some of us are closet whores... yet we strut our stuff, waving our hands (some us our asses), saying:

LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!

I was having a conversation with my friends the other night, and one of my friends was sitting on my coach and we was having a conversation. His phone goes off, and he gets a text message from one of his (hmmm, what would be the right word to use here?)... FUCK BUDDIES.

"Let me suck that dick."

He laughs, responds back, and continues the conversation. A minute later another sexual text comes through. He laughs again, knowing he is playing cat and mouse with this dude. I then mention to him that you must love all this attention from these guys because you are just having the time of you life over there.

"No, I don't."

Yes you do, your an attention whore. You like sexual attention from guys. It's ok, I mean I am one too. We laughed and agreed. I may not always want sexual attention but, to me, it is important for people to like my creative work. One of my friends an attention whore when it comes to his singing. Another for so that his opinions can be heard. Another is an attention whore when it comes to, ummm, everything! 

Most bloggers are, I mean really, we talk about our lives to hundreds of people, for whatever reason! There are over a million Youtube videos of people, just doing, whatever! We have reality series on finding love, being a model, running a race, and becoming a star!

SO I ASK YOU, WHAT MAKES
 YOU AN ATTENTION WHORE?

I must say that I love to be desired. I love sex appeal from people. If I know that you want me, I am happy!

I like to have a play buddy. I like horsing around and playing. Running, chasing each other, wrestling, you know lil kid things! I love to have the attention that lil kids have between each other!

I am a kid still, and I have always had trouble letting that go ever since I started "growing up".

I am a lil' bit of a flirt (shut up).Sexual attention is appealing to most folk, I think. The vast moajority enjoy the sensation of desirability.
I do sing a lot , but I'm not so sure that is for attention. I mean, compliments are nice but I will really sit by myself all day and sing to absolutely noone. It's a very satisfying emotional outlet for me.

That movement that you get under the sheets is called RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). They have medication for that my friend. LoL.

Ummmm... I guess I am an attention whore to an extent. I don't know if I was the one you were talking about in reference to "opinions" but I find that I draw attention whether I am boisterous or silent. Guess when you have a 'presence', it's hard not to be noticed. Such is life.

~Damnit!

I wouldn't really call me a whore because I don't seek the attention. now that doesn't mean I don't seize the opportunity when it arises cuz I do. I guess my need is for balance. I live so much of my life alone, en solitaire if u will. so, when I get a chance to be comical or endearing or passionate, well, I take advantage of it.
