L and I have been getting some e-mails of late from people that are admitting to subscribing anonymously to these blogs. To my surprise, most of them have been friendly. What I keep reading is mostly a variation of "Hi. I found your blog from an undisclosed location on Fetlife, and started reading. You don't seem very popular there, so I am following you anonymously to keep from catching flak. I've enjoyed what I have read so far, and hope that you keep writing. Take care!"

This is You Reading Me |
Suddenly I discover that L and I have become guilty pleasures. You know how the man that has supposedly quit smoking still slips out to the garage and has a cigarette after dinner? The woman that claims to not drink but is covertly hitting the bottle of cooking sherry? That's us! We are a guilty pleasure that nobody wants to admit to enjoying. We are New York Cheesecake & Pecan Pie a la Mode. So pig out you literary oinkers.
What our secret admirers don't seem to realize is that we can tell where you are coming from when you view our blogs. So let me end this with a big hello to over a dozen (we quit counting then) Fetlife inbox conversations, hello America, Germany, U.K., Canada, Israel, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand.
Thanks for the huge surge in traffic, Fetlife. I'm glad to know that I have made such an impact with you that I am still remembered even though I severed all my ties there half a year ago. Keep reading, and happy weekend ass slapping!
I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one from Israel who looks in. I'm also not really doing it "anonymously", since I'm well aware of the blog's owner access to traffic. ;) So. You can scratch me off that list, K--I just don't have anything to comment for the moment, thus being "silent". :p
ReplyDelete(P. S.: Ungh, stupid thing doesn't have edit buttons on already posted comments either, leaving you no other choice but to delete and repost. How annoying.)
Hi Dina, Thanks for reading. As for the only Israeli, no you aren't. We do have some acquaintances from Israel and the surrounding areas that L trades music with online.
ReplyDeleteComment whenever you feel like. Any comments are welcome on my blog. It's nice to hear from you again.
