What does it mean...

when you're gleeful that people replied/responded to your CraigsList post?

I have avoided CL in recent times, because I knew my ex trolled there. When we first broke up, I posted a few things on there in a sort of immature, Glenn Close "I will not be ignored" sort of way, but I've let it go.

In a bizarre piece of happenstance, one of the people I'm seeing now saw one of my post-breakup post that was intended for him, but not really meant for him to see.

When we went out in a purely platonic manner, post-breakup, he asked me how it was going with my ex - I had decided on a "lie by omission" strategy, but the caveat was that direct questioning would be answered truthfully. So I told him we broke up, and he said "Did you send me a message in Missed Connections?" And I had, and he had seen it. In some ways it's made the whole "dating" thing a bit easier, because he knows exactly where I'm coming from (my post said I wasn't going to call him for a month or so, because he deserves better than being rebound guy).

Anyhoo, this weekend I replied to someone's post about a certain anti-depressant and got a response. And when I posted my Rave about iTunes (which I absolutely love 12 hours later), someone else posted on the Web site. And the reply I sent to someone's post about Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk also garnered a response.

So basically, I'm on "Top of the World, Ma!".

Does that mean I need profeesional help?
