A Pearl of Wisdom from SatC
As I brushed my teeth this morning, I found myself thinking, of all things, about an episode of Sex in the City. You may recall the “He’s just not that into you” episode.
For the uninitiated, that expression is supposed to help decode certain male behaviors exhibited when dating. Namely, behaviors that really mean “he’s just not that into you.”
I, however, wasn’t thinking about dating but rather about how that phrase applies to blogging. And if you stop and consider it for a moment, it totally works.
I mean how many times have you found another blogger and thought they were right up your alley; a fellow bird of a feather, a blogging soul-sister (or brother) and left them a comment (or two or three if you reallllly like them!).
They make you laugh, and cry and think and smile and you both hate “Law and Order” It’s meant to be.
When they commented back you were quite pleased. It must be mutual.
You like them. They like you. It’s a done deal.
Or is it?
As you continue to visit and share the love, you start to notice they really don’t seem to be reciprocating oir visiting very much. Or maybe not at all.
You may find yourself wondering…is it something you said? Do you smell? Did they find out you secretly love “Dancing with the Stars?” What happened?
Don’t feel bad. It’s not you. Or your blog. Or your questionable taste in television entertainment.
It’s entirely possible that they’re just not that into you.
And if that’s the case, it’s nothing personal. You’re really nice. Your blog is great and they don’t even know that you spent an hour hitting speed dial over and over to vote on Dancing with the Stars.
Isn’t that a relief?
My true questionable, guilty-pleasure TV choice isn’t really “Dancing with the Stars”. I’ve never even seen it. It just thought it sounded funnier. You know, artistic license and all that…
To be honest, I love “Blow Out.”
A heterosexual diva hairdresser guy with serious delusions of grandeur…it’s good stuff.
Edited to Add: I think I may have been misunderstood by some of you. This post is about me and it was supposed to be funny and light…as if to say we’ve all been there and it’s no big deal if someone doesn’t return my admiration because it’s JUST BLOGGING. It is in no way a commentary on anyone elses blogging habits or a suggestion on how anyone should conduct themselves while blogging so please don’t take it that way.

I know you probably don’t care or anything but this is what I did this weekend. I think it turned out rather nicely! If you have a moment, be sure to tell the lovely Mrs. Davis hello.
And I’m reminded that while I have you here, I have to say this, because I love and care about you…GET FIREFOX, dammit! I promise you WILL LOVE IT.
Don’t make me resort to saying such things as IE is evil or IE is the devil’s handmaiden. I hate playing the Satan card.
But seriously, designing for an inferior browser makes my head hurt. A lot.
Please? I’m begging :)

That header is totally hot!!! You have amazing taste!
As for bloggers, I get it when they are Just Not That Into You….what annoys me is when they get all big and feel like they do not have to read anymore!
ha! I recognize myself in the “hey, where’d the love go?” sentiment over similar incidents, but i also realize i could be totally giving that vibe myself sometimes. i am a serial stalker of so many blogs, that i don’t always comment even when i read.
it’s odd ain’t it? the way these networks work?
Congrats on finding Firefox! May Bill Gates rot in the hell he will eventually own.
Yeah, that has definitely happened to me. Sometimes I get even more hurt if I notice the person doesn’t have many comments, and they STILL don’t want anything to do with me. Am I that bad?
Truer words were never spoken. Sometimes they are not that in to you and that’s okay. The politics of this whole blogging business are a little wild sometimes but when you simplify like you did … well it just makes sense :)
Loved the new blog you designed on the weekend … looks great!
I agree, that banner is totally hott. Nice work!
Are you available for redesigns? It goes without saying that my header is having a fashion emergency.
You know what. I use firefox. But because I make changes to my site design alot and sometimes forget to check it in IE, sometimes I go for weeks with my site looking STUPID without me even knowing it. Once a whole week went by where in IE you had to scroll all the way to the bottom to read any of my posts. In fact, just this whole weekend I just discovered my sidebar had vansihed to the bottom in IE as well. I HATE IE!
Grrrr.
Listen to the Iz. She knows what she’s talking.
Me, too. Header design. I don’t have one.
Also…I’ve wondered about the whole “not into you” think as well. Some people just aren’t into me. Yeah it bugs me. I think that maybe those A-Listers see me in the same way I see other bloggers whose sites I’m just not really into. I’m not sure if that makes me feel better or worse.
I have one guy whose blog I love. I found it totally randomly, but he is a good writer. He only had about 2 commenters when I started reading him. I left a comment on almost every post he wrote. It took him forever, but he finally replied to a couple.
But he never, ever, came over to my blog and left a comment about anything. From my stats, he has never even visited. Am I right to feel a little miffy? Or am I just an oversensitive ninny with an inflated view of my own self-importance? On second thought, maybe I don’t want to know.
And Firefox - yes. I discovered the Wonders of Its Love a couple weeks ago. I had been using Safari and my computer was going sooooo slow. I got mad at my ISP and did some online speed checking. Turns out my speed was GREAT. So I switched browsers and I am generally very happy with Firefox.
Just so you know, I “am” that into you. You crack me up! If you watched Blow Out, do/did you also watch that real lives of orange county housewives? Forgive me if that isn’t the actual name, I am gooped up on pain killers today and can’t think straight. Just mostly wanted to let you know I think you are super cool and that I am back from the hospital (I had a hysterectomy in case you were wondering). If that was too much information, just pretend you never read it. I told you I am on some pain killers and would probably tell you anything at this point! Ask away, but be prepared for me to give some goofy answers!
lmfao- you are so cute. it’s a good thing i don’t have this problem with you, or i’d be forced to take drastic measures. of course it’s not me who’s calling you 50 times an hour and hanging up.
Ha. Good post. I was just thinking about this because I know a lot of people stop by my place and I am getting a little overwhelmed with trying to read everyone. I am extremely appreciative - although I know some people may be offended.
I make an effort to clickback to everyone who writes a comment, A however, that plus the 60 plus blogs on my bloglines (no lie), it becomes just a little much. I do read a lot of people’s blogs, but I have cut down a little on commenting these days.
I do feel bad, however, because until you reach Dooce status, I think people do still expect you to come back and comment (reciprocate if you will), and while I have totally good intentions, it’s just not humanly possible. I love that people stop by and comment knowing that I may not necessarily read their blog on a daily basis. Unless you have an instant click, like you said, sometimes it takes people beating down your door for you to get it.
As side note here - Why is it that we don’t expect it from “poopular” blogs, but perhaps the not-so-popular and now somewhat more popular ones are held to that standard? However, I’m at the point now where I never expect a reciprocal comment. I’m trying to comment when I have something to say and not expect anything in return.
Is blow out the show with Jonathan on Bravo? I’m so out of it - see, I really do need to cut down on the blog reading.
Anyway, I have been thinking about this a lot (for various reasons) - so thanks for letting me vent. And, I’m always a fan of your work - and your blog.
Um, you like “Dancing with the stars”? Wow, well, ok, I guess I can overlook that. Wait, you VOTED? Hey, it’s been nice, but I’m really busy. I’ll see you around…
(who am I kidding? I’m married to a man who is a Survivor addict.)
Great post, Izzy. Mrs. Davis’ site looks great. I think I’m due for a serious makeover soon!
Anyway, I don’t take the blogging thing personally. If someone stops by my blog, I make an effort to comment on their’s. I may like their writing, or not. If I don’t, I don’t go back. Usually, I visit sites. If they check me out and decide not to come back, I’m OK with it. I might be bothered if it is someone who comments regularly and then never comes back again. But, *sigh* I guess things can’t always stay the same…
We loves us some Firefox in our house. And I love to say Mozilla.
This was a good post. I’ve found that most bloggers do reciprocate and give a visit back or an e-mail, but I’ve had a couple that never did no matter how many times I would leave a comment. And I ended up feeling like a total geek, and much like a geek, I also felt a little hurt. But then I was like WTF–I’m feeling hurt because someone I don’t even know doesn’t like me? Whatever.
FIREFOX FOR PREZ!
oooh, firefox. Man. Remember trying to use IE5 on a mac? God, those were sucky times.
So the blog commenting thing: nice take on that.
Usually I make sure to respond within my comment thread to people who leave comments. However, I see that a lot of people seem to think it’s more equitable to let those stand and go visit and comment instead. I see the merits in that technique.
The hardest part, though, is the They’re Not That Into You, Or Really, At All Into You. I hate that. It’s hard not to take it personally. And rather than risk being the doofus who comments where it’s obviously not wanted, I tend to not comment at all. Once bitten twice shy, and all that.
Mrs. Davis’ blog ROCKS. Love that design. And Firefox, just as rockin. I will never go back to IE.
I love ya….I won’t ditch ya……just so you know :)
Been using firefox for months, won’t go back. I love the redesign… I’m still on the boring standard template (ugh I know it’s bad) but don’t know enough html to help myself. I’m slowly doing some tutorials to learn but it’s pretty slow. All that to say your redesign is bee-youtiful.
And agreed on the “just not that into you” thing. If I’ve commented a few times on blogs and not heard so I just figure that’s what’s going on and move on. It’s not that I think my posts are earth shattering in importance, so no biggie if people give me the big ole “meh.”
Its me, you were talking about me. You’re blog-breaking up with me, aren’t you? This is your passive-aggressive way of telling me you’re not into me anymore. Right? *sob* And I thought we were made for each other because we both love Blow Out and DwtS. *sniff*
Where’s my ice cream and Kleenex?
Aw, screw it. Where’s my bottle of cabarnet?
Love the header for her site, and thanks for making me find a new blog to read!
I have Firefox and use it. I promise.
I totally understand the whole “not that into you” thing, although I’m totally into you! Lately I find myself with busy days and I just can’t find time to go visit everyone. And often I will visit and read and chuckle, but have little to add to the conversation of some blogs. And so I try to remember to go back and visit again soon, but it doesn’t always happen, and then I feel guilty.
See? See how I made myself feel guilty over not commenting on every blog of those who visit me? See why I drive myself insane sometimes? :)
Oh, this has happened to me on a number of occasions! I have been left scratching my head wondering what I did wrong. I think I had something in my teeth … spinach maybe?
Izzy … I so need graphics help. But I can’t find that button anymore on your page. E-mail me? Where is your addy? I’m a ninny I can’t find anything. mrsfortunecookie at gmail
i was into blowout last year and for some reason, i just couldn’t appreciate the humor anymore when i realized he had no clue what a self-absorbed ass he was.
my new guilty pleasure: the search for the ultimate coyote ugly
*hiding my head in shame now*
I’m still figuring this out, too - what the proper response is with commenting. I love your take on it. Yes, there are some blogs that I love at first, then I kind of fall out of love. And i know there are some who read me a few times and move on, and I know that’s okay. But it’s so strange when you don’t quite know what motivates people to come and go.
And thanks for sending people over!!
Izzy, beautiful job at Mrs. Davis’s house - and thanks for reminding me that I’ve been meaning to check her out anyway. (Did you hear that, Mrs. Davis?)
The whole commenting/reciprocating business is a lot like making new friends. Just because we go out for coffee doesn’t mean we are BFF. But if we never even bother to go out for coffee, then we’ll never know if we might become BFF! That’s why I comment. Even if I’ve never read before - if something strikes me, then I make a point to let you know.
And I love getting return comments, but I’m honestly not hurt if I don’t get them from people I don’t know, whether they are supa-stahs or regular joes.
Yeah, I always feel kind of funny when someone comes over to my blog and comments who isn’t one of my usual crew or someone I read - I feel kind of obligated to go over to their site and check it out, but if it’s not speaking to me… do I need to keep going back, just to be polite? (and yeah, I loved the liberating thing about that on SatC, but it was funny how it didn’t translate when she tried to share it with others. Sorta like existentialism.)
Another nice job on Mrs. Davis’ site, btw. I am dreaming up how to get the banner pic I want, and then I will have to ask you to help with the rest. But first the photo. Then we’ll talk.
Very groovey redesign, but you always do top notch work! Ive often found myself in that “just not into you” quardry, but on teh flipside osmetimes i get so busy that i neglect commenting on my favorites
I’m completely into you, IzzyMom, no worries, there.
But what about the act of completely removing a link to someone’s blog?
I’m new at this game, and I rarely get comments (woe is me). What’s this whole comments thing you speak of. I know someone is reading, but I’m not worth the effort of a comment. Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine.
Talk about feeling like someone’s “just not that into you”. It’s official, I’m a dork.
Very nice logo. And I agree, IE should be outlawed. The pixel issues between the two browsers alone sometimes makes me want to toss my computer out the window.
And Jonathan? I’m not totally convinced he *is* a heterosexual. He always seems to be trying too hard when he talks about women.
What a great analogy! You’re so right. It’s funny because I think that a lot of my readers (at least 50%) are men. I don’t know if guys feel the same way about this or not, but I’m thinking not. Women are always such high maintenance even in the blogging world! ;-)
I’ve commented on many a blog and never received a comment back. I sort of gave up on the reaching out and now just read the blogs of the people who’ve reached out to me and that I feel I have things in common with. But I will say that there have been people who’ve commented on my blog and when I read there’s I was like “there’s not way I can keep up with the Christian Knitter” or whatever. Each to his own right?
But, I do notice you get a million comments on every post so why are YOU of all people complaining? You are a successful blogger with a shitload of regular readers. Including moi!
God, I HATE that “he’s just not that into you” dude that was on HOprah all the time last season. HATE.HIM.
You know, when I first started blogging, that kind of thing would bother me. ALmost 4 years later, I don’t care so much, but probably because I’ve become so damn busy myself that I’m a lazy and selfish blogger who TOTALLY reads the blogs on my links, but does NOT take the time to comment, unless of course, the “spirit” moves me.
You moved my spirit!
Just, so you know, I’m into you. (In the blogging way, I mean.)
Wow I think the same things!! Blogging is like high school…you got the clicks and then people that you thought were cool but then turned out to be jerks!
PS = I’m usually not wishy washy (it’s because I had a babyhe’s made me turn into glue brain) I must make the final decision soon for the blog design..let me know when you will start and I will give you the DEFINIITE FINAL DECISION. Again..sorry to be so spacy on the ideas..
Love the header. I get that sometimes. Leave comments and wait to see if they leave one back. I often forget to take into account that other people are busy, that they have a life outside of blogging. lol. I have met some great people through blogging though and that is what counts. Your post reminds me of that great little book, he’s just not into you or something like that. Awesome book! And I love Firefox. I try and make sure my theme looks ok in ie as that is what everyone in my family uses, but making it look good in Firefox is my priority.
Hey when I commented earlier, I didn’t even mention the part of your post that was about “just not that into you” I enjoyed the discussion about it here, so I thought I’d add 2 more cents.
I have a blog friend who is my favourite in the world. When I first started reading her site she had about 3 or 4 comments per post, and her readers were faithful. So you’d regularly see the same commenters. As soon as I found her I linked to her and started commenting on her every post because I really enjoyed her writing, and always actually seemed to have something to say back.
She didn’t respond for about a month. Didn’t email me or comment on my site. It didn’t bother me. I liked her too much to care.
Anyway, now our relationshis is reciprocal. But I guess, the whole commenting thing can get all highschooly if you let it, but I think like yourself, I’ve just decided to embrace “just not that into you” thinking.
I pretty much just comment on the sites I really enjoy, and only if I feel I acutally have something to contribute. Sometimes I’ll see a really heartfelt post with several comments, and I think it will be a great discussion, but all 50 comments are all “I hear you!” or “I love the colour green too!” You know? Something essentially hollow. I hate that.
So, like, are you going to cut me off here? Is there a word count that is just too much? I wonder if I could just go on and on and on here! Hahaha.
I’ll shut up now. 800 words later.
Love ya Izzy.
Great design and oh, I love Blow Out!!
Great post! And Mrs. Chickie rocks! But are you so sure you should be getting direction for life off of “Sex in the City?”
Great analogy.
My TV guilty pleasure is Dr. 90210.
FireFox ignoramus here. What do dis do for me? What do it replace? What will I lose?
Superstitions rise, something new?! Change something?! I’m scared. help me.
You say they’re not into me, I say they’re just too shy. Or I’m too pretty for them–that’s what Grandma always said, anyway.
Seriously, I am extrememly bad at commenting. And I already feel like I have a lot of blogs to keep up with, so it often takes me a while to get into the groove with someone new. Also, I *am* actually shy when it comes to commenting. I want to be funny and unique and insightful, so it’s no wonder that I barely chime in. On the other hand, I do notice when people stop coming around my place. But I can be an infrequent blogger, so I don’t blame them, really.
Nice head, I mean header! Yes, Firefox is the bomb and I know almost nothing about the internet.
I’m into you Izzy!
Not sure if I have commented before, if not then I’m sorry for lurking. I’ve thought those thoughts about comments that are not returned. I have to learn to not take things so personally. Thanks for the reminder.
Firefox is so the way to go. You are wise to praise it so. : )
Blow Out is a guilty pleasure of mine too, but I’m strangely attracted to Top Chef at the moment. The drama is so…well, overdramatized.
Kay, that’s hilarious and rings soooo true. Funny how easy it is to get all caught up in this crazy thing, isn’t it???
Hey, my girlfriend told me the writers for SatC actually have a book out called, “He’s Just Not That Into You”. FYI.
Oh crap. I’m supposed to comment back to people who read my blogs and visit theirs?
I try to always visit and comment any blog new to mine… I am not so good about email, but I do try…
There is one blog that I have left like a frillion comments for over the
past 6 months and I swear, she has not even visited my site… not even a little glance!
But, I love her and think she is so funny and honest so I will continue my puppy-dogging of her…
I’m not saying who… but she has left a comment on this post ;[)
sometimes I spend so much time reading other peoples blogs I forget about my own and then other times I spend so much time on my own blgo that I forget about other blogs.
I love firefox. It rocks.
I read. I comment when I have something to say. Sometimes I feel disingenuous if I comment just for the sake of commenting.
There are bloggers I’ve been reading for 2+ years and I think they know I’m there (like Amy, POW, at least I hope she does!).
Blogging is a hobby to me and I love doing it. When I start to wonder how I should and shouldn’t be acting, my head hurts.
Have SO been there with the “they just aren’t into you kind of thing.”
BUt you had me at the Pot Smoking story…
I do love you still even though it seems like I’m not into you. I’m just having trouble keeping up with LIFE. Ya know.
Great new design over at Mrs. Davis’ place. I love your work.
I use Firefox at home but am stuck with IE crap at work. Downloading and using other browsers is strictly verboten. At least I don’t have to suffer at home!
my guilty tv pleasure is court television. and dating shows. which is why i can’t have a tv. all day long i would watch either genre indeterminately.
i use opera, not firefox. i’m thinking of switching though because the opera people are stubborn bastards who won’t allow me to send emails in html. such a tiny little thing… but it does allow me to subscribe to rss feeds by just pushing a button in the corner of the address bar, which is cool.
miah
Whaaaaat? Not into me? Ha! Then I’ll just stalk you. (Sorry - not funny.)
It’s hard to claim that I’m your biggest fan, Izzy, when I’m like 102 on the comment list. BUT, did the entire internet rock tonight when I finally downloaded Firefox based on YOUR SUGGESTION? I AM SOOOOOO HAPPY! I had no idea what I was missing. So although I was slow on the surfing today, I AM AT THIS MOMENT YOUR BIGGEST FAN!
As for the other stuff? Thanks for making a good point, as did several other commenters. When I was in high school, I was the president of everything, a varsity athlete and a kickass actress to boot. I had a hot boyfriend and so many hall passes I could skip class routinely. Oh, and I got good grades. BUT, I wasn’t a cheerleader. And there was a little voice in my head that told me I wasn’t popular because of it. Well, let’s just say that I don’t want to repeat high school. I want people to read my blog, comment, leave a link, let me get to know them — but only if they are , as you put it, into me. Not everybody will be. The trick is to gather up a good crowd of friends, like I did in high school, and not worry if the cheerleaders have more followers. Although I must admit, I’d love to be on the freebie list. I’ll review your product alright.
I know how you feel. It’s so hard sometimes to keep up with writing , let alone reading all of the blogs you love. But, I am sooo into you girl. Oh, and Firefox rocks! I hate running into a site that still doesn’t support it, but it does seem to be getting better.
Over here at our house we never watched ‘Dancing With The Stars.’
We were too busy watching ‘Skating With The Stars.’
Hear that rumble? It’s the sound of ’sweatpantsmom’ being removed from all those blogrolls…
Izzy, a really well-worded post about an issue I can only assume everyone, *everyone* in the ’sphere experiences, at least on occasion. Even the freakin’ supa-stars. Because we’re all scared, little high school freshmen when it comes to making new friends, sometimes. Especially if we discover someone we think is ridiculously cool, and they don’t seem to think the same of us. Um, I’m repeating you. Shit.
Obviously I’m a bit too tired to comment. *backs slowly away from the keyboard so as not to alert anyone to sudden paranoia enveloping entire body*
Um, basically, word.
Oh lookie! I’m doing it again!
test test
This is pretty fun. I wrote a new post by the way lol. This is so cool.
Ooh, well look which fancypants blogger has a LOT of people into her!
There are quite a few blogs I comment on that don’t respond to me. I don’t really think twice about it because I’m not reading them to fish for readers, I’m reading them because I love reading them and love participating in the discussion.
As far as my own stuff, I think Stephanie nailed it. I can’t comment on everyone who comments on my stuff, at least not every day. And frankly there are a few people–very few–whose blogs I check out and I just can’t think of a thing to say to them. Like people who list what their kids ate that day, or what song they sang in church. Or people who use their blogs as a tool to vent about every little minor annoyance in their lives. I support their right to do that, but please please please don’t ask me to read it every day. When it comes down to it, I work full-time. And I’ve got a kid. And a family. And I’ve got cool mom picks. And I have my own writing to do. So I hope that people that don’t get frequent comments from me don’t think I’m being snotty or whatever. I’m just swamped!
I love your new header, and I love the new design of Mrs. Davis.
I’m very into you and your blog. As for bloggers who aren’t that into me - it doesn’t bother me really. I comment all over the place, and I add everybody who comments on my blog to my BlogLines so I can keep up to date with them and keep visiting them. When people don’t reciprocate my comments, it sometimes hurts, but I know that people are busy, and those who get 60 plus comments per post must have a hard time reciprocating.
I do try to reciprocate to every comment I recieve. I love visiting blogs and reading and commenting. I know some people aren’t going to enjoy reading me - but if reading their blogs gives me some pleasure, it doesn’t bother me if they don’t comment back.
Okay, so I lied. It HURTS - It’s so nice to get comments and know that people care, and when people don’t reciprocate, it feels like you don’t even exist sometimes…
That’s why I adore you Izzy - you always reciprocate. You are like the Queen of comments…
OMG! 64 comments! This post must of struck a nerve. I agree about Microsoft and Bill Gates. Evil, evil, evil.
LOL! Oh I know exactly what you mean. There’s been a few I just LOVED who would never, ever give me the time of day.
*sigh* they just weren’t into me.
Buahaaaaa ….
Good thing I’m not too insecure.
And because I love you, and I’m an honest sort …
I HATE firefox. There I said it.
*wink*
Its so funny that this post is on everything I was just talking about last night. It looks like Im a little late but Im always late for the good stuff!
I was just telling my newly aquired 19 yr old teenage daughter about “He’s really not that in to you” I couldnt remember where I had heard about it first? I think it was a book on Oprah ? I dunno, Sex in the City is possible too.
Andddd I was encouraging Christina the Wench to get firefox and the hubby wrote her a quick fix for her page so it would work on our firefox …. I felt like such a browser pusher lol
PS .. I LOVE dancing with the stars !! *looks around to see if anyone heard that*
I’m afraid I’m guilty of not being the most responsive blogger but not necessarily for the reasons you suggest. It’s more a case of constraints on time and how some days I choose to allocate my time to blogging and others I choose to allocate it to working. Since my time at home is limited, I rarely go online and use those precious moments to spend with my family.
Warning: never quote “he’s just not that into you” to your single friends about a prospective date. Unless of course you enjoy getting your eyes scratched out.
I love the new design for Mrs. Davis. Your skills rock.
Haha…I thought your post was hilarious! Who HASN’T felt this way? It’s human nature. I hate to admit it but I’ve spent valuable time (and brain cells) thinking, “why doesn’t that person comment anymore? Did I offend them somehow?” But then I slap myself in the head a few times. Besides, people are busy. Sometimes, they don’t have time to read blogs and comment.
Maybe they were like me and spent over 45 minutes last night on the speed dial voting for Taylor Hicks!
Izzy, I’m into you. Love your site design for Mrs. Davis!
Oh Izzy, I feel like you know me already (eventhough I’m still waiting for you to work on my site…do call soon?)
I’ve just commenting to my sick-as-a-dog hubbie that noone likes my blog b/c I don’t get any comments. All he can say is “just be patient!” My spririts lift when I see a comment waiting to be approved, but it’s that damn SPAM again. :(
And I can’t believe there are so many awesome blogs to read out there, so many of them…so little time.
BTW, love love Firefox. IE’s really stinkaroo!! As for Dancing with the Stars, loved Drew Lachey (sp?) and his partner. There, I said it!
I’ll wait by my laptop for your email Izzy. Got to run, Mommy’s duty’s calling.
I found myself getting way more upset than I should have a few months ago when a blogger I thought I had struck up a friendship with stopped coming to my blog completely, even though she always replies to emails. Then I decided to move on and let it go, because I knew it wasn’t personal. But it did bug me. I like knowing the people whose blogs I read, I like the give-and-take of commenting. Some posts I only get 4 or 5 comments and sure I wonder why, but I could be getting none, so no big deal.
I LOVE “Blow Out”! My favorite episodes so far have been Jonathan at New York Fashion week and the one where he flipped out at the guy designing his shower head thing.
And, AND, I SWITCHED TO FIREFOX! Do you love me now??!
Also, the guy that co-wrote “He’s Just Not That Into You”, Greg Behrendt, has a stand-up comedy show that is freakin’ hilarious, have you seen it?
Ha! I’m always paranoid that I’ve pissed off someone with my filter-less talk when they stop visiting my blog. Thank God I have an editor or I’d really go over the top and lose everyone.
First of all, love the design you did. I’m thinking I need you to do something for me. :)
Anyway, I always think about this topic but never really write about it. I don’t get that many comments but I dont make that many comments so I understand. I usually comment when I read something funny or with which I can relate.
By the way, I love your blog.
