...when you really want to compliment someone on another Kinja blog, but you know it'd be taken completely weirdly and random and ohgodI'msoshy.

The solution? Ummm...same thing we do everyday on Oppositelock:

Post cars!

Just do it! I doubt they'd think it's random.

The shyness is strong with this one.

Okay, you got it.

Ah yeah, I saw that post a minute ago. I can see your dilemma. Maybe just a star? Or not. Especially since she's gone through the trouble of hiding her face. But if you're already lurking on GT, please feel free to comment sometime and get to know us. I promise we don't bite, much.

But anyway, your top photo:

If you really want to break the ice, you could mention that you think Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a great idea. It's a compliment without being superficial.

Yep, a positive experience in the cross-kinja post got me thinking about checking O-Deck and Groupthink, so I've been checking them out. So far, I've come to the conclusion that people are cool, and I don't use enough gifs.

And thank you!

Ahhhhh! A blue mustang!!! You're a man after my own heart!

Heh. And yeah, we've got a lot of good folks over on GT and ODeck. I'm an author on both, so if I see your comments on either, I can bring you out of the greys. I hope you spend some more time hanging out! ^_^

I'd rather comment on a more casual post and build up an image of being an actual person rather than be the equivalent of a dude-bro dropping a line at a bar. :/

Excellent. I'll look for your posts!

One day I will finish mine, and it will be grand:

Definitely! I can totally understand that. There are guys on GT, though, so your presence wouldn't be that anomalous. And we talk about everything and anything there, so I'm sure a post will pop up sooner or later that'll be better to comment on. There's also a couple of us who are opponauts, too. ^_^
