Someone stumbled across me today and commented. And I replied that I was unsure as to the etiquette around it. I know when I read my favorite blogger Ginny, she always replies. The comment section is often as rich as the post. But by the same token I'm not clear on what's narcissism on my part and what's simply discussion. Are people waiting for a reply? Because I always want to gush "Oh my god, you are SO cool I can't believe you came over to visit." There's Lori at fever who is...surreal. I mean brilliant. She writes like, well, someone who WRITES, but better. And just ...says shit. I mean, I read. I read prolifically but I have never read, well, real live writers...writing.
Can you hear me? I sound like John Meyer talking about Jessica Simpsion right now. These woman write unbelievably.
Which is so funny beacuse you always here about "mommy blogs". Chick Lit. But seriously, where are the sucky weriters? Because these two, and Cheek, and a host of others. They WRITE.
I'm such a groupie.

Well, actually, you are less like Mayer talking about Jessica Simpson and more like how he talks about Jen Aniston. Cause you admire them and sh*t. If it was Jessica you'd be talking about how they blog like bunnies and you read them alone in the dark.
But I get the point.

I'm blushing. I don't know where to look. I'm embarrassed.
I always feel like a trainwreck or a freakshow, and that's why I have so many subscribers.
Hundreds of people read my blog?
It must be because I'm such a maniac lunatic.
It can't be because I know how to write a sentence.
So when people say I can. And when those people aren't my mother or my friend in real life, I get squirmy and I grind my big toe into the ground and I say something unrelated like
"I try to reply to commenters on my blog too, so if they have an email address attached to their blogger profile, I usually respond"
