A brief word regarding the matter of so-called stalking

Several friends have confessed to me recently that they've been, in their words, "blog-stalking" me. They say it apologetically like it's something they should be ashamed of, as if it's some medium-grade venial sin for which they attempted to atone during reconciliation on Saturday.

Friends, brothers, lovers, people I don't know, be thee not ashamed. I'm so glad you're here! The truth is, I love it when people read what I write. I'm just too shy to tell them I have a blog, and also the word "blog" makes me giggle when I say it out loud. So instead, I put a link to it in my facebook profile in hopes that people would stumble upon it. And to those who have, thanks! Write me some comments and let me know what you think, or at least that you've stopped by. And heck, in return, maybe I'll start posting more than like three times a month.

Why would I even have a blog if I didn't want people to read it? Definitely not because I just like to say the word "blog," because I don't. Secrets are for my diary. Thanks for being a stalker. No, but seriously.

Love,
Susan

i confess as a self professed "blog stalker" that we would indeed appreciate it if you posted more than three times a month...

consider yourself stalked?

just a moment ago, it occurred to me that you might be my favorite writer not currently famous. in each post, it's as if the reader can hear your voice actually uttering every word you write, sometimes racing through a couple at a time, delivering each sentence with a smile at the end. the extent to which your personality reveals itself and shines through within your writing is nothing short of remarkable.

i guess you could count me in among people looking forward to more posts.

I agree with all of the above. I miss hearing your stories, so why wouldn't I "blog stalk" you? :)
