Are You Reading My Blogs?

Current mood: contemplative

So, I noticed that this week my blogs were viewed 29 times. Does that mean that one person is, stalker-like, obsessively reading and re-reading? Is it 29 people reading my blogs a single time? Or some combination thereof?

As a person who, not so long ago, aspired to be a writer, it's very gratifying to know that I have a "readership". Yet, it's also a bit strange knowing that people are privy to my thoughts, rants, and mundane rehashes of the day. Kind of like when your kid sister gets hold of your diary. But at least your sister teases you and quotes you and waves your purloined pink-leather-covered notebook in your face, her gleeful prancing around your bedroom a testament to the power of your words. All I get now is a numeric tally.

Despite the lack of feedback I've received, one undeniable upside of knowing that people are reading what I write is that it motivates me to make daily entries. I tried to start blogging about a year ago, but just couldn't get into it. It felt so empty...like shouting into space. Now, I'm shouting into MySpace and this has changed my attitude. I look forward to writing it because I am convinced that there's someone out there who looks forward to reading it.

I dedicate this blog to you, my unknown readers. Thanks for being interested in my little life.
