In All Seriousness
Re: Lurking
Well, guys… I’m only half-kidding about the wall of shame. However, in the spirit of you catch more flies with honey (not to insinuate anyone is any form of diptera)… I am going to make an simple appeal for NON LURKING. No Threats (See Wednesday September 24 post).
Why not lurk? Many of you find this site by accident courtesy of GOOGLE.. It’s completely understandable for you to look and leave, especially considering this site probably wasn’t what you were looking for in the first place. However, if by some twist of fate, you see something that makes you stay longer than it takes to right click on the back button–Welcome! Glad to have you here. If, for some even larger miracle, you see something that begs for your comment… by all means, don’t be shy. We certainly aren’t! And if by some Cosmic Random Act of Grace, you like the place enough to comment… TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Heh.
HOWEVER… you knew this was coming… for those of you who *found* this site because I sent the link to you… and for those of you used that link and also call yourselves friends… well, you have NO excuses to not talk to me. It’s the INTERNET. You can’t catch my cold, my insanity is self-contained, and I only mock people I love. I mean it.
Some of you haunt this place daily and never say a word. It makes a girl wonder, you know? In my more paranoid moments I can’t help but think… maybe they *hate* the posts. Maybe their mothers taught them that if you don’t have anything good to say, then say nothing at all and so, they are being really quiet because they have nothing good to say. Or… maybe they don’t love me anymore!
Then I realize I’m being completely pathetic and get over myself. But I do wonder how you are. I wonder how life is treating you. What your dreams are and if you have had any good wine lately. I wonder if you bought the new Dave Matthew’s and should I? I wonder if you still like to eat Ice cream on cold days and walk in the rain with no hat. You know, I wonder. So– stop being such a mystery and tell me what you think.
