how long will it take for "him" to notice

[Homesurfer]

Your clue made sense. I figured it "might" be me (and was probably me), but I couldn't figure out what it was. I looked....everywhere for something unusual. Something different. Something I should notice. In the forum categories, under recent posts, in my control panel, in...everywhere. Nothing. I found nothing. Took a break to practice the guitar, but it was still nagging at me. Came back and looked some more. I was looking around the recent posts again and saw the one where I was becoming a "real estate guru," (I never really look at anyone's rank, including my own -- that was sort of a "hey, I have 246 posts! I wonder if something happens when I get 250?" kind of thing), and for some reason checking out that post made me look at my rank. That's when I saw the "Contrarian" thing.

I will say the thing about your mom really through me off, because I figured it meant someone else. AFTER I figured it out, I assumed it was a way to give a hint about someone's age.

I will say that the hints "seemed" to make me think it was me, but I wasn't sure, and I STILL had to look for at least a couple of hours before I had the moment where I went....

"Duh!"

So I made a post where I said a lot of what I just said above. Then the next morning I thought, "Maybe he was talking about something else? If so, I'm going to be really embarrassed," so I deleted most of my original post.
