Laughing All The Way

You like me, you really like me

Okay, I get it.

When I started this blog o’mine I promised myself that I would never give out the address to friends and family. I don’t have a problem with them knowing what trouble I am making, but I didn’t want them to feel they should comment. And I didn’t want them to tell my Grams. And they would. They totally would. At dinner. With guests. And they would be sober. Where was I? Oh yeah, so I had always assumed that I would never get any comments, and I was fine with that. Until I got comments. I LOVE COMMENTS.

All this time, people have been talking about getting comments, leaving comments, reading comments…comments, comments, comments. And I was all like: “What’s the big deal?” Well, people now I know.

When I checked my blog yesterday and I had one comment I was glad to know that I would not die a comment virgin but I just thought: “That’s nice, she stopped by.” Then this morning I checked and I had TWO more. TWO more comments. If this keeps up I will be a comment whore in less than a week. And the thing is, I was excited. I wanted to know what people thought about what I wrote. And I am now totally hooked. I want more. I crave the attention. I need to know what other people think about my little mental wanderings. I have to have…

Oh, my. Got a little carried away there. Whew.

Well here is my resolution. I, some girl, do hereby and herein promise on the fount that is blogger, under the threat of the pain of having ignominy and shame heaped upon me by all who know me, that I will de-lurk. I will continue to read tons of blogs everyday. In my reading I will enjoy what is written; I will laugh at the jokes; I will relish the achievements and victories; I will celebrate the joys and grieve for the sorrows. I vow that I will now become part of blogland by being an active participant. Even if I am just saying hi and that I appreciate a sentiment, I will comment.
