Come Out, Come Out, Whereever You Are
I was at a party last night and I found out that someone who I have only met once before (and only briefly) is a big fan of my blog and has been reading it since we met (or before?). Can I tell you how fantastic and baffling that is all at the same time? I have been under the impression that my only readers have been making themselves apparent by commenting and it’s weird to know people are out there just reading and waiting to see what I have to say next.
Now, how many more of you are out there? I get something like 150 hits a day and only about 5 or 6 people comment regularly. I want to know who the other 145 of you are? Please comment. You don’t have to say anything witty. Just say hi and let me know you’re reading. It may inspire me to post more often than once or twice a week. I have a hard time believing that the rest of you only came here through a google search of “How to eat coochie”.
I don’t want to reveal anyone’s identity here, but I will just say that my new found fan’s name starts with S (and ends with usan). It’s now time for that unknown person to make at least one comment.
And the rest of you, too.

You may include me as a regular reader and an occasional commenter.
Thanks to Google Reader, your postings are always brought to my attention.
Best wishes and may your other readers come to the fore.

Crail - Thanks for reading. I am also reading your blog on an almost regular occasion (I don’t use a reader, so I can often get behind on many people’s blogs)

Hi! I’m so glad I met you over at Killer and LIz’s. I love coming here, you always make me giggle.
March 16th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
I must confess. I am a reader.
Call this my coming out.
What?
Oh. Right. I comment here all the time.
My bad.

And WHY am I not on your blogroll you asshole?
Delurking day. Love those days.

Long time reader, first time commenter. Thanks for the chuckles. I love your blog.

Aren’t lurkers awesome?
March 17th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I’m here too! Not really into leaving comments, as Jester will attest to, but I like reading.
March 17th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Gwen - Awesome! I didn’t even know you were reading! Comment more, please.
Jester - Dude, I got news for you. You couldn’t be any farther out.
Absurdist - I’m very selective. I like to only blogroll people who know I’m a man and who don’t call me asshole. I’m funny that way.
Margeaux - I knew you were out there.
Dave - Awesome and as in the case with the one I met this weekend, really nice.
Lisa - If you don’t comment more, I will post of a picture of you saying “You are a hot, tranny mess!”. Trust me, with your hand gestures, you don’t need to hear it to know it’s what you’re saying.

hi
March 17th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Jane - THAT’S THE SPIRIT!
March 17th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
you are all man and i know it. le rowl.
i’m not a long time reader, but i am now a loyal one. does that count?
(now that i have my own blog and realize how encouraging comments are, i promise to be better at saying hi.)
March 17th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Hello - Thank for verifying that. Most of my other readers are only willing to testify that I’m an asshole.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I patently refuse to delurk and leave a comment just to satisfy your idle curiosity.
March 18th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Avitable - And I totally would have respected you for that, but instead, look what just happened here.
March 18th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I know! Damn.

delurking sounds like something that should be in the Urban Dictionary.
I hope it doesn’t involve feces.
March 18th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Killer - I hope to never experience a Mississippi Delurkathon
March 18th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I’m new, how the hell are you? I still feel like slapping you, but I’ll get over it. I have issues because I’m very hot and I also have a crippling disease.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Jen - Thanks for reading. You’re right. You are hot! And if you weren’t married to someone who I like so much or knew how to find me so easily, I might even encourage the slapping.
March 18th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Glad to see so many responses - hope there will be more - at least you did get some reaction - all the best
March 18th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Crail - Yeah, but where the hell’s Susan? (oops…did I say her name?)
March 25th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
This is my first visit to your blog, and I like it. I’ll be back again soon. Yeah, comments are a nice thing. Someone in Switzerland found my blog and went completely through all of the archives, but never left a comment. I hope whoever it is eventually delurks. Anyway, nice to meet you

Geeky Tai Tai - Thanks for visiting. I’ve seen you around the blogs. I always appreciate new readers and look forward to checking out your blog as well.
