Kiwi: You've got plenty of time, sweetie. And number don't mean anything, really....except for that blasted 599 that won't flip to 600!! (Your profile isn't available, so I can't link back to your place to say hello...fyi)

Sports15: You are SO RIGHT! It just never seems to end! They figure out how to tap into our insecure HS selves....

Ha it is funny that social media is just another extension of our "high school selves." Have to love it though!

I have... five followers. Granted, I only write in the summer months, and usually only a post a month, so... err, yeah. Not worth it. I swear, some day, when I'm out of school, I'll write more

Hello Dearest Kathryn!

Ok...I wanted to stop back later this evening to check out your post.

It's freakin' FAAAABULOUS because you combined both humor and truth in your words. And let me tell ya...there is a lot of TRUTH in this post.

When I first started blogging it was all about links, readers, stats, entrecards, awards, you name it. But, what blogging really comes down to is ENJOYMENT and FUN!

(and meeting great people)

Such as yourself!

Brava, my NY friend! You nailed it!

2009-11-23T20:03:45.615-05:00

chickasauras_rex: HA!So, you use these social networking sites for your own twisted humor??? I LOVE IT!

Jen: NO! Not the geek table! You're a blogbud...we're ALL blogbuds. Don't forget, Blog of Note sent my numbers soaring...I am a very, very lucky girl. You shud see my #'s over on FB or twitter!

Mahsa: Thank you! Yeah, you'd think as we age, we'd be more mature about this stuff. I'd just noticed that Twitter now has "lists"...something new to try and aspire to...pulease.

Elfie: It's so true....there's nothin' better than a good hair day. I'll sometimes find someplace extra to go just because my hair looks good that day!

lifelove'n'wine: I saw, sweetie! And thank you again! It shudn't matter, but I'm SO CLOSE to 600...make it EVEN, already!!

Smoog: HA! Yep...I'm lovin' the hair, sista. And yeah...someone else mentioned the inflexibility of Blogger allowing us to "double-dip"...dammit.

jen: You're very welcome! Happy to make you smile!

Erin@TheLocalsLoveIt: Well, YAY on the great hair today! And BOO to fam that don't leave comments. Although, I will tell you that most bloggers say the same thing. Out of my whole fam, I finally convinced 1 sister to subscribe (via email)...but I had to BEG for 2 years!

English Rose: Aw! And I'm sitting here...noddi...

2009-11-23T19:36:35.970-05:00

English Rose: Aw! And I'm sitting here...nodding away and saying, "Uh huh....uh huh" with only the dog for company!

Fierce: Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I loved writing it as well...sometimes I can crack myself up. I have NO IDEA what a "ping" is!
Should I know this??

KellyGrrl: Ha! Glad you liked it!

serendipitous: I was at ten....and at 15 flwgrs...for a long time! You'll get there, sweetie.

Lily Johnson: Very true! But blogging has a whole different set of "traits" that go along with it. I think blogging's the most personal of the bunch. Don't you?

Lauren: HA! It's never ONE person that sets me off....I'll just happen on someone and it blows my mind....'cause they're EVERYWHERE! And remember: Blog of Note pushed me up to the heavens!

Alicia: Oh, yes....I remember doing a post early on entitled "Talking to Myself". I knew it wasn't *quite* accurate, but it was CLOSE. Yes, we DO blog for ourselves...and if others choose to listen in, that's even better.

Collette: Thank you! I feel the same as you. Twitter I can usually handle, 'cause it's so fast...but I mainly like my blogbuds. Much more intimate, I think.

Cynica Sarcastamos: HA! Do you realize what a *dangerous* position the world would be in with ME at the helm?? But, we'd all have the BEST hair products money could buy!!

Jen: I just visited your place! We must be somehow related! That's the second time I think we've done this...

snoble24: Yes, sometimes ya can't help but to get swept up in the craze.....!

BTW...I have great hair today. Finally.

2009-11-23T16:33:13.054-05:00

Sometimes I think I'm the biggest loser (not because I'm fat) becuase I don't use Myspace or Facebook and I wouldn't know how to Tweet if it came and pecked me in the face. But I am pissed that not even my family leaves me comments on my blog. I'll even accept comments that I suck. ;)

2009-11-23T15:14:59.093-05:00

Ah, yes. Hair! I tried Da Magic. It was amazing. If only I had that much time every single day! (No, I did not waste da magic on work. I went on a date. With my husband and a pair of pink, high-heel boots and my favorite jeans. You know the kind...)

2009-11-23T08:45:00.788-05:00

Good hair is always the best.
It just makes everything else look good.
You would think it would make your face look worse in comparison, but somehow it gives it a glow as well.
I can't wait for my hair cut on Thursday.

2009-11-23T02:39:59.882-05:00

LOL! So badly agree that people like to get "fake" popularity by having like 666 freinds on facebook and so on ;). I think it is OK for teenagers to be so but for others I doubt it ;).
great post, loved it as always.:D

2009-11-22T23:42:03.344-05:00

ValleyWriter: I LOVE that Mr. ValleyWriter's identity is kept under "Mr Big" wraps! And I love that you love visiting ME. Now, I'm off to visit YOU.

Clandestiny: Oh, nooooo! Just 'cause YOU say you don't have good hair...I'm not buying it. I think you're just ignoring your hair...'cause you're not a hair kinda gal. Chocolate is good...and a cocktail...definitely a cocktail!

MARGARETE!!! HEY!! (Too much??) I'm just so damned happy to SEE you!! HERE!! Thank you, sweetie...this is high praise from a real live AUTHOR. And you took time out of your busy book signings to check in...I think I'm hearing Sephora calling us. No, on second thought, I think it's the cocktails that are calling us!
xoxo

Tina: Why, thank you m'dear! Two, you say? Then I'm double-lucky today! I'm heading to your place now.

2009-11-22T22:47:10.862-05:00

Well, I thought I was getting popular because I have 21 followers. Then I saw your 597 and realized I'm at the geek table.

2009-11-22T22:35:08.994-05:00

Spot: First of all, 2 points for the Dr. Seuss rhyme at the beginning of your comment. Kudos. And I've only gotten a lot of flwgrs since BoN...I'm not pop-u-lar anywhere else! Oh, the PORN stars on Twitter! I had one that was SO GRAPHIC...it takes a LOT to make me block someone, but c'mon!!

Gingerella: I know what you're saying. There IS an unspoken blog etiquette. You shud never expect to get more than you give. I looove our "group" of blogbuds...I think everyone's intertwined...and I get such a kick out of visiting others and seeing the same buds...!

Dreamfarm Girl: You would not BELIEVE how many ppl have told me that their fam does not read them. What IS that about? Da boys don't even want to read when it's about THEM...it's like pulling teeth. THEN they laugh when I FORCE 'em in front of the computer. Grrrr.

2009-11-22T22:21:04.745-05:00

Love it. I delete friends on Facebook regularly too, mostly people who I haven't talked to in ages, but sometimes just to see if they will notice and say something to me about it, cos I find that hilarious. Then I can give them a hard time about being all bummed out about not being my friend on facebook and call them a stalker and stuff. Good times.

Angelina: HA! No...I don't believe anyone actu...

2009-11-22T21:42:45.434-05:00

Angelina: HA! No...I don't believe anyone actually uses the phone to SPEAK. Just to TEXT. So? DID you respond?

Kimberly: As I've said before, it takes a while to build up a following. Especially true when blogging, 'cause it's more intricate...the comments and posts and actual thoughts! Twitter's quick and painless....FB and my computer don't get along.

JD at I Do Things: Dear People at Wordpress: Please release JD's peeps numbers. We're guessing it's in the THOUSANDS. WHY won't you tell? Geez...what are you DOING with those numbers, anyway???

Wendy Blum: I'm constantly amazed by ppl with huge numbers on these social networks. I just don't get how they've managed it when I don't even KNOW that many people! Sometimes I care...but I don't see how you can keep it ALL going at once and still live a life!

Oddyoddyo13: Uh-huh....I know that you secretly totally agree completely with everything I've said. I just know it.

Jan: I KNOW...right?!? Maybe your post was stuck in the back of my mind when I thought about good hair!

~:C:~ Have I mentioned to you how much I looooove ...

2009-11-22T21:12:53.131-05:00

~:C:~ Have I mentioned to you how much I looooove typing your ID name? And how much I loooove that you're BACK? And you're healthy? Hmmmmm??
Yeah, no double-dipping. I wonder if I can follow myself? I think not. See, I let the flwgrs rise on Twitter, unless I have to stare at something totally inappropriate (which I have...oh, geez...now Mark's gonna be asking questions!), but don't ppl need your permission for FB? I'D befriend you on FB! Of course, I'm never THERE...does that mean I'd hit the Cretaceous era sooner rather than later??

dailyseeking: Aw, honey. Have you ANY IDEA how many posts I wrote with no comments whatsoever?? I really believe that commenting is the key...and following. Ppl should reciprocate. I can't tell you how long I waited to be "discovered". It doesn't work that way!

book*addict: YES. See? The pharmaceutical companies will have us believe that there's a pill to solve depression...but the real truth lies in the HAIR PRODUCTS. As for comments, they will come...you'll see. Soon enough, you'll be marveling how hard it is to keep up with 'em!

smileyfreak: Aw, thank you, sweetie! Have you any idea how many blogs I've commented on where I was right behind you? You keep stealing my lines!!

f8hasit: Ah. The mystery that is the ick versus good hair day. Alas...I have no answer for this, grasshopper. BUT. I DO know that a paper clip can be used in a pinch to hold back your hair. (Thanks to ~:C:~)

Gavin: Yes, you are awesome! And I LOVE reading yo...

2009-11-22T20:24:27.236-05:00

Gavin: Yes, you are awesome! And I LOVE reading your posts! What's amazing to me is that I feel like we're polar-opposites on our subjects...don't you agree??

WannabeVirginiaW: I know, sweetie. I think we all censor to a degree...it happens when you get concerned about turning ppl off. They say with writing that you need to "know your audience"...but how does one really do that and appeal to all??

Mark Price: Always good to hear from you! Well, I'm on FB AND Twitter...and FAR from uber-popular. I'm horrible at keeping up w/FB, mainly 'cause it keeps freezing up on me and I've had to re-friend several members of my family more than once. Wasn't once enough? Not. Cool. I'm better w/Twitter...'cause how much can you really say in 140 characters??

Maureen@IslandRoar: HA! Maureen! You're KILLING me! "Good hair stays with you till at least menopause"! I think I'll get that FRAMED!

Heather: Well, good for you (on the cleaning house on MySpace and FB)! I haven't fallen into the trap of "playing" anything on FB, mainly because it doesn't like laptop. Or laptop doesn't like FB...not sure which. Good hair RULES!

2009-11-22T06:56:31.204-05:00

Love it!!! You are too funny. I just got up a post about unfriending. This is the opposite of your post. Good hair is truly important. So sad how I never seem to make it happen.
Tomorrow I will call you so we can figure out how to corner the blogosphere!

I can't even go there. I'm pretty sure I a...

2009-11-22T00:46:42.240-05:00

I can't even go there. I'm pretty sure I am the slowest blogger, emailer, texter, tweeter, etc., it would truly take half of my year to try and keep up with all that stuff. (FB is just an ELT for my long lost friends.)

I will worry about my hair and THAT IS ALL.

As for popular? Here's the dealio: Were you born in the United States? Are you over 35? If you've answered YES to both of these questions then please prepare to run for president. Seriously, I feel a maverick-y, rogue-y campaign coming on and I know you could ace her. You, Kathryn, could rule the world. How's that for popular?
