One would think, stumbling upon the comments of this blog, that I have, oh, about five readers. But you know what Google analytics says? THERE ARE A LOT MORE OF YOU, a LOT MORE that read and (hopefully) enjoy and KEEP COMIN’ BACK for some hot hot blog action.
Luckily, there is a day for this, and it’s called Delurking Day.
I delurked twice today, leaving comments for bloggers that I’ve read and respected over the past year. Do it; it feels great. Just make a comment to say hi, even if it’s to be like, “Hi, Jenn, this is your fifth grade crush, and I don’t appreciate stumbling upon your creepy retropections when Googling my name.”
Sincerely,
Jenn
There’s Your Karma.

Hi, you don’t know me. I have no memory of how I found your blog, but I read it when it was on LJ and followed you over here. I’m 26 and live in Seattle and like wine, dive bars and new indy rock that sounds like 60s British bands. Um… yes. Keep writing, you’re fun to read.

HI AMY! See, this is what I’m talking about!
People!
Connecting!
If you are the only person that comments, the de-lurking post was worthwhile.
(No offense Eddie. It’s just that you are a loyal commenter. Whom I also appreciate.)

I love this idea. I feel like a stalker I comment so often, but I feel compelled. I hope more folks like Amy show up.

Hi, Jenn. I’m a day late (also a dollar short, but that’s not important now), but I had been reading your LJ through the Bloomington community’s friends page. I’m glad you posted there that you’d moved here so I could keep reading. I love your writing style — you crack me up!

Hey Malinda! Thanks for reading. Your de-lurking, as dorky as it sounds, means a lot.

As in a Little Baby Girl, Abbie still doesn’t have a big belly yet, and I’m not sure if she ever will. And we are busy trying to figure out names.

@ Eric: Well, how about that. Abbie at nine months pregnant will probably look like me at three months. Congrats!

Hi there,I’m also an “Amy” and follower blogger. I can’t remember how I came across your blog either but I enjoying reading it on a regular basis. I’m out in Indie for a year-long internship and I rather enjoying hearing of your cultural endeavors. Way to go on getting your own website. I dig that.
