I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me...


I am cutting this pretty close. It's 11:15pm by my computer clock, so in only 45 minutes, Blurker Amnesty Day will have ended and I would have missed it.

What is Blurker Amnesty Day, you ask? Well, let me explain:

Blog + lurker = blurker. If you read this blog but don't comment, you're a blurker.
A pardon + complete forgetfulness of the event = Amnesty.

So if you comment on my blog on Blurker Amnesty day, you get to do so without fear that I will start googling you, doing background checks, hiring private eyes to investigate you, start stalking your blog, or expecting you to comment on my blog on a regular basis. I just want to know who you are!

Do I flatter myself that you even exist? This experiment to bring out the blurkers could end up like that party I threw in 8th grade where no one showed up. Embarrassing. A major blow to the ego. The cause of my love affair with baked goods. So please, if you blurk, come out--just for today--and say HI! You can do so by clicking at the bottom of this post where it says "____ comments." Sign in with your google blogging ID or as anonymous (but tell me your name, just for today).

And because I jumped on this bandwagon late, I'm officially extending Blurker Amnesty day through September 23rd.

Want to know more? Rather than plagiarize, I'll send you to the source:

So, it is now 11:36 by my computer clock. That leaves you 24 hours and 34 minutes to make my day. Ready, Set, Go!

p.s. Do you have that Rockwell song in your head now? I do. If you do too, then you are SO cool.

It's me. But I'm not a total blurker because I've left a few comments lately. I'm a half blurker.

I love this idea.
Hope there is another special day coming up. I always look at my site meter and think, "Who are these peeps and why don;t they say hello?"
Oh well.
Here's to you and your blurkers but mostly to us, your loyal, loving commenters.

(poor kitty, poor DAPHNE!)
