A place where beautiful people gather to talk about how beautiful they are.
So...
So, out of curiosity how did everyone find this blog? I found an odd picture of a man in a snuggie on pinterest a couple years ago and that's where I began.

I found it in 2007 by FOUNDING it. (See what I did there?)
Snuggie texts, via Pinterest. Then I stayed up way past my bedtime reading everything else Eli's ever written and laughing silently to myself because everyone else was sleeping.
I also found it via the Snuggie texts. Although I can't remember how I found those.
I remember finding the snuggie texts somehow...I guess that is how all obsessions are born. I did miss almost two years of Stranger's life though when I had my daughter. But don't worry, I have been going back through the archives for a while now as well as staying current. I will say, I do miss Daniel!!
I saw the snuggie texts on pinterest as well! I don't remember what year. Maybe 4 or 5 years ago? Not sure.
Eli had me at snuggle texts!
Someone sent me a link to the Snuggie texts. I have no recollection of who because the only people I know that read the blog are people I'VE sent the Snuggie texts link to . . . .
My best friend linked the Snuggie texts post to me on an especially taxing day. I then spent way too much time reading the rest of Stranger. It totally helped.
Snuggie texts sucked me in!
Somehow or another, I found the Snuggie texts, which led to the Emails From Craigslist, Yahoo Answers, etc. I think Eli is a gifted storyteller.
Same story here, sillyowlgirl! Friend showed me the Snuggie story on Pinterest. She left it at that and now ISN'T part of this community. I, on the other hand, went all the way back to when Eli started and read his ENTIRE blog (even his old stuff that he tells us not to read. HashtagREBEL!) and have someone found myself among the most awesome group in history :)
Same as you. Then I spent a good week at work exclusively catching up on Eli's life.
I found the snuggy post as well
through the snuggie texts, but no clue where I happened upon them .
It was the Snuggie Texts that led me to the blog but I'm not sure where it originated.
Secondary question... what other blogs do y'all read? (I'm from North Carolina & actually say that. Daily.) I have a habit of reading blogs of people that I don't have a lot in common with - stay at home moms, single dads, super trendy way too beautiful women and then there's Eli with his hair and his Ironmans and lawyering and Tami. I had two favorites that are no longer, one just doesn't blog and the other removed 90% of her posts and disappeared, only to reappear, post a handful of times and then delete the whole thing.
I think I found it through The Blogess, who posted about the snuggie texts. I now no longer read her blog, but she's still awesome and I read her books.
snuggie then laughing
then Palau, when Eli really started to get me. Because he was living a dream and hating it, just like me.
You know....honestly I don't know! I feel like I saw the blog before it got all snuggie Pinterest famous but I didn't pay much attention to it til after the famous thing? But I don't actually remember!
After seeing the pin a few times I finally read it, giggled my way through it, and I've been hooked ever since. I've been reading since before my son was born... in 2012. So I guess you could say it's getting pretty serious. 😂
I read the last sentence in the Kip Dynamite voice.
I read the snuggie texts and thought they were the best thing on the internets. I started following stranger for real when Eli was living in Palau. My husband thinks I'm a little crazy but everytime I am in Utah I not-so-secretly hope to run into Eli. One of these days it'll happen.

Pretty sure I'm another Snuggie-Texts-via-Pinterest follower circa 2012 (but it's been too long to recall clearly). Then I went through and read everything else, naturally. I've been lurking for years and Eli keeps captivating so I keep reading. Y'all's comments are pretty entertaining too :)
