How you just know it's been too long.

When you're out with your girlfriends, trying to have a respectable, totally even-keel, grownup cocktail, and some guy, see below, starts giving you shit.
When a complete stranger - and I cannot overstate this enough - a person you have undoubtedly, beyond any question, for sure never seen before in your life - approaches you, out of nowhere, at a bar no less, and starts demanding blog posts (pardon. REproaches you, explaining how you've let him down and how you sort of suck). And then especially when he starts pointing out events around you, like an impromptu limbo tournament, saying "now that would be a good blog post."
When you're telling some kind of hot, wrongly young guy how absolutely horrible, truly unlivable, Cincinnati is, before you realize, crap, he's the backup Bengals quarterback.This has nothing to do with anything, but come on, how do you not throw something like this in wherever you can?
When complete strangers - seriously, never seen this dude before In. My. Life. comes up and says, loudly, slurredly, "ARE YOU EVER GONNA WRITE ANOTHER BLOG POST AGAIN? BECAUSE IT'S BEEN LIKE SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS AND REALLY? NOTHING INTERESTING HAS HAPPENED TO YOU IN SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS?"and your first thought is "uh, heh?" and your second thought, inside, obviously, is, "omigod i'm like a celebrity i think i basically just got recognized."
That's how you know it's been too long since your last blog post.
