I
may have PMS? I don't know. I don't feel ticked off about
everything, just one thing. (Which reminds me, I need to refill my Xanax prescription...)
The impression that 1) I only visit Entrecard Blogs and 2) If I don't comment, I haven't been there.
First, if you don't have Entrecard,
you don't know how often I stop by your blog,
Max People.
I have several blogs in my sidebar and in my bookmarks that ARE NOT Entrecard users. I still stop by, sometimes I just have nothing to say.
Honestly, sometimes your chosen blog topics are not my cup of tea. I don't care about working out, or cooking gourmet meals, or homeschooling my child, or History. So I may speed-read through those type of posts to see if there's something that would interest me, but if it doesn't catch my eye, I move on for
THAT DAY.
I don't even drop that much.
See? I'm not one of those users that is just trying to drop to get credits. I actually
read the stuff that people write, unless it's history or economics or specific to your country.
Second, even if your article interested me, it doesn't mean that I'll comment. I read
Cardiogirl's blog every day, but I don't comment every day. Sometimes I have nothing to say and I don't feel that it's good form to comment "Hi, I was here!" rather than giving an opinion or offering something substantive.
Now, if you
want me to let you know that I've been to your blog every day, even if I don't have anything worthwhile to say, I hate it for you.
When I find a blog/person that I like, I do not abandon them. I used to read Blanca Debree every day, even though I don't think I ever commented, she just amused me. I think she's changed her address, because
the blog I found was not the same that I used to visit.
I am, at heart, a lurker. How do you think I find all the posts for my High Five Fridays if I'm not going through hundreds of blogs a week? I
read that stuff, you know.
I think I
must have PMS. Because my
flipping feelings were hurt when I read
MAX's response to my comment the other day when he asked where I had been.
Dude, you gave me a ring. We're, like, cyber engaged or some shit. (
Kidding, don't show up at my house or anything...)
I just can't read those posts about history or science without my eyes crossing.
Oh, yeah!
There are other places I go online. I don't just read blogs. So I'm participating in
forums,
tweeting, writing e-mails,
designing stuff on Paintshop Pro for people with cute babies, etc. I have a virtual life! Not to mention that I have to watch TV and movies so that I'll have something about which to blog. I occasionally vacuum or wash dishes (though Evan would disagree with that). I have a real life too. Kind of.
