According to Chris at Rude Cactus, today is Delurking Day. Which means that, if you read a blog but never comment, you should leave a note to say hi.
I’ll get things started.
“Hi, I’m Hope, it’s so nice of you to stop by. Your hair is looking lovely, do you use a special shampoo?”
I’ve been making an effort to read more blogs and leave more comments. So, if you’re a reader and also a writer, please let me know where you post and I will start dropping by. If I should have been stopping by already, please leave me a gentle reminder (“Hey dummy, I have a blog as well you know!” should work).
Last year, I think I got one whole comment. So, if I get two today I’m going to feel twice as popular!

Hey Hope,
I read your blog when you have a subject line that confuses me. You tricked me into reading this one! (Actually the yoga one was funny and I shared it).

I’m not a lurker, but I’m commenting anyway because I like to talk.
Note to self: write more blog posts with confusing subject lines. My next post? Hamster Farraday Cage: An Illustrated Quijibo.
I like the sound of my own typing. :p
I’m not a lurker either, but I’d feel really weird to not leave a comment here… even if it’s just to show that I did not start lurking 🙂
I would so read that.
I’m glad I didn’t scare you away!
Yay! Happy Delurking Day!
To you as well! 🙂
Hooooray!
yeah, i read your blog. so what! we’re friends, it’s not weird!
i just have a weird tumblr, nbd.
It’s not weird at all!
Huzzah!
Dude, you definitely had more than one whole comment last year. Silly. I’ve left at least three. :-p
I, too, have a blog. But you know that. And I know you know that.
You said in an earlier post that you played some new songs at your latest gig. Any chance of another CD sometime soon? I really do listen to Beer and Pie a fair bit, and would love to hear more…
I read. I read because you ended up on my blog, formerly sillylittlegirl.org, now kitkat.typepad.com. I added you to my reader after you left a few comments for me and I’ve always read since, I have just never been a particularly good commenter.
I’m not a lurker, but I do like you!
I like you too!
hola mi hermana. te amo.
I’ve got 2-3 new songs. I need to write a few more and then we can start recording. I have no idea how I’m going to pay for it (I decimated my savings last time around), but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I’m so glad to know that you’re still around! I understand why you haven’t been blogging, but I was definitely worried. I just added your new feed to my blogs folder.
Te amo tambien. 🙂
