**We still have a ways to go to break my comment record, peeps!! You have until SATURDAY NIGHT! WOOT!
I realize that my post title sounds like a bit of SPAM that would normally be sent by someone hoping to lure you into their casino/porn/herbal penile enhancement site, but it’s all I could come up with at the moment.
Apparently, it’s “National Delurking Week” AND “National Delurking DAY”.
Dude. That’s a whole lot of “Delurking”.
I have craploads of lurkers. That’s totally fine with me, I am just thrilled to my toes that anyone reads me at all. Besides, I can’t necessarily blame someone for hesititating to comment on a site that talks about psychotic nipple-flinging and clubbing baby seals, now can I? It doesn’t bother me if you don’t delurk. I don’t want to add to the pressure. Still, I feel like I should do something for the week.
I haven’t had a contest in awhile and contests are fun. Since I’m not putting pressure on to delurk and because I love my longtime readers, this contest is open to everyone.
Leave a comment saying…well…what should it be? I hate these things where you just get a million, “Count me in” comments…hmm…I have been feeling fairly hideous and old lately and could use some bribery-induced affirmation..SO…
Here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment stating what you like best about reading this blog. If you’re new, just say something nice about the template or whatever.
(No, it can’t be “The days you don’t post”.)
2. IF WE BREAK MY COMMENT RECORD all comments will be entered to win a $25.00 gift certificate to Amazon.com.
3. Link back to this contest on your site and the value goes up to $30.00 if you win.
(What can I say? My Technorati ranking sucks.)
Since it’s opening night of “The King & I” and I probably can’t post for a few, why don’t we say that I close this on Saturday night.
Even if you don’t “Do” contests or whatever, just say hello anyway. It will help make up for the fact that I and my grandma-esque flappy, floppy arms have to spend the next two weeks standing next to young, gorgeous women with perfect figures in a sleeveless costume.
(Yes. I realize just how lame this is. Sigh.)
GO!
P.S
Thanks to Angella for having an idea I could blatantly steal. Go over to her site and chip in to win a certificate, too!
I’m totally a lurker…thanks for the contest.
Hi Loralee…
I check your blog out sometimes. I found it through your “Dancing in Cache Valley†video from a year or 2 ago. I figger I’ve been lurking long enough that I should leave qa comment for your record, since you inspired me to start my own blog, although I’m nowhere near as dedicated or as open as you. If you ever get into the discussions on the HJ website, you can occasionally find me there posting as “Rockdawgâ€â€¦Anyway, I spent part of my growing up years in CV, & so I have some emotional attachment. I was just showing my older son your pix of the theater where “The King & I†is playing. Looks like the old Capitol to me…I was telling him about how we have 3 theaters in town, the Capitol (50 cents), the Utah (35 cents) and the Gem (25 cents)…Why don’t modern keyboards have a cent sign? Anyway break a leg!
Rockdawg
I think you are very funny :)
LL2 coming in late (sorry) to give LL1 some support. Break the record, baby. You already know I love you. xxxoooo
I’ve only been here twice, so I’m not sure that even counts as delurking just yet! I originally found you through Glossy Veneer and now Dutch Blitz. You don’t have to include me in your drawing, I just thought I’d say hi!
Alright I’ve been waiting for a way to actually comment. I was your random e-mail mucinex recommender. (BTW I’m so glad that it made you feel better!) When you actually wrote back it totally made my day. I think it still might be in my inbox. My favorite thing? Um it would have to be the way you talk to your readers in your posts. or the funny tangent lines that end with the *ahem*s. That would be fabulous. And now I have an easy opening to start commenting. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m no lurker either, but I love your site because it, and you, are refreshingly honest and funny. I can relate on so many levels.
How, how, how do I keep forgetting to comment here? I’m such a space case sometimes. So glad I came back and caught it. Duh.
Okay, so I *heart* reading your bloggity because I love you and love seeing what you’re doing. Plus, you know, we both do theater and sing and know a lot of the same people and both like sushi and cuz you’re a freakin’ babe and, and, and. . . I just like ya. :* Just to name a few reasons.
I love reading your blog because you make me laugh and you make me cry. Also I love to hear about what you’re up to with your singing.
Very new reader but must say love the sarcasm. Keep it coming please!
I love your honesty!
Here is my commnet Loralee, hope that you find the webcam, that will be so cool
Hi, I found your site when I googled “Happy Sushi” to see if anyone liked it. I live in Cache Valley and it’s fun to read about places I’m familiar with. Keep blogging because I love reading what you write.
