So I was reading my own blog from the beginning today… (I admit that I think I am so funny that I do that sometimes, just to remind myself how funny I am)… But this time I was doing it for a less self absorbed reason. It was because I finally realized that I get all these brilliant comments, but I never put them all in perspective. I usually just answer them as notifications without paying any attention to what they were in reference to. But a good friend was actually reading my blog from the very start, and I finally figured out that I could just click on the title of my own post above the comment, and go back to my old posts to see exactly what the comments were in reference to.
You would be surprised how much more sense comments make when you know what they are about!
So today, I read all about me again, but this time I was going through all the comment strings below my posts. I knew you guys were awesome, but now I am just amazed. I was having conversations with people that lasted days, and I didn’t even know how they all tied together!… (I would like to point out that none of you noticed my confusion, so either I am crazy smart, or…)…
But the point is this; I cherish your comments…
When I read them as real conversations, the depth of thought and range of topics, the random changes in direction, it is like going to a party where all the great thinkers and writers and artists of history are discussing the very essence of life, the meaning of existence, and the reason for the cosmos.
(How was that for a sentence?)…
I have done 207 posts, but I have received the gift of 3,175 comments, and I have no words to describe how much they mean to me…
Thank you.

Awww, that’s so sweet it makes me want to give you a little reacharound! Or, wait, you have never seen this blog without notifications? They used to not be there, and we’d have to click ‘manage comments’ for ones on our blogs and ‘comments I’ve made’ for ones on other blogs, but only the last 15 or 20. I’ve had multiple ways of doing this, because work is broken, phones are limited, different computers are different computers, and WP keeps jacking everything up.
I love the way you go from taking advantage of me to helping me out. A reaching hand or a helping hand, your hands are all over the place.
this is just beautiful; i can’t wait till i read through your blogging adolescence…..i bet you were quite the lad
It is all there, from baby pictures and my first art. I thought I was already seeing comments to those early posts from you?
oh yes i’m still working my way through but i want to see what you’re posting now as well; i genuinely have such small amounts of time to read and write all the stuff i want to, i think that if i continued to try pure catch up i’d end up as one of zeno’s paradoxes
You on your period again?
I am very in touch with my feminine side… sigh…sob…
Laughing so much now. How have I not run into you more?
You’re welcome. You’re doing us a service too with all your humor!
That’s me… servicing the world… ummm…wait…
Wise guy.
Hey, I break-a you face, you calla me dat!
How about if I send you a virtual adult beverage instead? 😉
You call that a bribe? But OK…
OK, two beverages, but you’re pushing it, buster.
I just need enough to get cyber-plastered…
LOL!
What a coincidence. I think that I have done 207 posts too. 🙂
Great minds type alike.
true dat
I think I lied. It’s actually 217. Oops!
Our relationship was built on trust… so now…
It’s built on deception and lies.
Yeah, you’re right. And it works for us.
Imagine how much fun a party with bloggers would be!
Ha, they would all be ignoring each other and typing on laptops…
aw! thats so sweet, Ive only been reading for a short while now, but I love to hear what you have to say. Keep it up!
Thanks again.
