I ask you to comment a lot, I know. What can I say, I'm a sucker for reassurance. But Twitter and my feed reader tell me it's an official day to delurk, so why I am indeed annoying, no question, so is the rest of the blogging world today.
I can't remember how I officially met some of my favorite blogging friends, but I can be pretty certain all those friendships started with a comment. One of us reaching out and telling the other person they were rad or smart or cool or downright funny. Probably funny. Now, a few years later, I've met plenty of those people face-to-face, traveled to hang out with them, sent and received baby gifts and g-chated with them for hours.
Who cares if one person has more Twitter followers or a catchier blog name. How many real, honest-to-god FRIENDS care about your blog stats. Not many, I'd guess.
I like to make it easy for you, you're welcome, so in the spirit of one of my 2010 list items, what's your favorite classic book and classic movie?
(Sure, some of you have answered on Twitter or Book Lushes, but go ahead and tell me again.)
I'll tell you mine, that's only fair. Book: 100 Years of Solitude. Movie: This Property is Condemned, if that counts.
