My initial intention was to try and have Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) follow me on X, and then possibly DM me to set up a FaceTime video call so that I might introduce myself to her. But it appears she (and/or her social media manager) never interacts with with anyone on her personal and
official X feeds (not even a simple LIKE) and only posts or reposts from other people she knows.
So I'm posting here rather than traveling to D.C. from Las Vegas, getting a hotel room and then taking an Umber to the Capital steps to loiter with reporters and tourists and just hoping to see if by chance she'll ever walk out (And besides, it would devastate me if I saw her walk out with Thomas Massie! Yikes!)
I wanted to do something different to bypass the politicos, the media, the gatekeepers and her 5 million followers on X to get her attention. I thought of sending her flowers to the Capitol building the next time I saw her on C-SPAN, but then thought that might be foolish, and that she might not even like flowers, or that getting them might embarrass her when they arrived ... and that it might cause her more controversy, which as we all know, follows her like a shadow because she's so attractive and outspoken. But then I also learned, for security reasons, the Capitol Police wouldn't even allow the flowers delivered into the building. So maybe that not only saved me a little money, but some embarrassment as well.
I 've been fascinated by, and attracted to, Rep. Boebert ever since she first confronted the obnoxious Beto; and I followed her and her career ever since. At one time I was one of her "cheerleaders" on social media to be a counter-balance against all the nasty trolls; but then I later realized that THAT was a waste of time too — because she doesn't read comments, and people that leave them are like rabid dogs barking at the moon.
Eventually I stopped barking (as much as I once did) because ever since Ms. Boebert rose to stardom, the higher she flew, the further out of reach she would be to the masses and anonymous crowds. Had I met her in her restaurant in Rifle, Colorado 5 years ago, I might have had a very tiny chance today after she posed with President Trump and Elon Musk and went to parties at Mar-a-Lago. Now she's untouchable like Taylor Swift, Donald Trump or Elon Musk (maybe not quite as famous, but just as untouchable.)
Now it seems she only associates with other very well-known people, not the "Front-Row Joe" types or those she might have met at her local restaurant all those years ago. I suppose that's just the way it is in people's social circles after they become very public and successful and morph into a political celebrity, like a shining star in that (now) shining city in the D.C. swamp.
I might have to come to terms with the fact that my mission is next to impossible (short of a miracle), but I had to try... even if I was just another foolish and swooning moron in her HUGE fan club. So far
I've been trying to get her attention for 5 years!
So after this, barring some unforeseeable circumstance (like hitting the biggest lottery in history), I'll remain her #1 fan (unless there's another Massie incident), and just keep hoping for a miracle. Never take away someone's hope, because hope might be all they have.
Please have Lauren (may I call her that?) read this post. Maybe out of curiosity she'll Google me and start following me on X, because miracles are possible, right? Of course they are! But they seem to be very rare. And besides, I have the feeling she's always been a "material girl"
— and THIS
IS more her lifestyle. And she'll never have THAT in my humble world!
