I Tend to Take Things Personally

Well I've now subscribed to make up that number, although I would have been reading anyway, but I hope it's at least a nice gesture. :) x

Your numbers are going up by the minute. Now you have two new subscribers. I always get something out of reading your blog. Face it, Marcy, you have stuff to say and you say it well. And you have great taste in music...your own personal soundtrack. Glad you are safely back from your trip. Can't wait to hear about it.

Your blog is one of my favorites, Marcy. Please don't feel blue.

Well, I recently entered the 21st century and started subscribing to RSS feeds, yours included, so I guess statistically I'm a new subscriber, even though I'm old hat.

As for the lost subscriber, perhaps s/he was feeling oppressed by and overcommitted to life. Too many notifications, too many demands on time, too much too much. And so by unsubscribing, s/he took a tiny step towards getting her/his shizzle back in kilter. And maybe s/he still fully intends to check back once in awhile. Pure speculation, but maybe that's what it was.

But, after all that, let me now enter Toad mode (or should that be Toad Moad?) and say:

For fuck's sake, Marcy, stop being so fucking silly! You're utterly fucking brilliant and we fucking love you!! :) :) :)

Well there you go....despite being a regular and all that, I'd thought I'd come in as a new subscriber to replace the one who has gone....and good old Adam beats me to the punch.

And I second FiL's (e)motion.....

geeze, i didn't mean to come off quite so "poor me" about this. i feel even sillier now! but i thank you ALL for your very kind words of support and encouragement.

and you know what? i don't subscribe to anyone's blog, via rss or anything else. i like the surprise factor that comes with clicking on the page and seeing if there's anything new there. i do have a couple of favorites on technorati, but technorati sucks so bad that you can't count on it to accurately keep track of things, so that doesn't really count.

anyhoo, you're all wonderful and i appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. :) xx

Hi there! I bet your subscriber just decided to go with Reader or some other service rather than the feeds. He or she is probably reading this right now!

Accept it, you rock!

And I hope we get to hear about the trip, glad you made it back safe and sound.

I don't subscribe to any feeds either. Two reasons. A) I'm lazy and I never bothered to figure out how. B) I chuck my regular reads on my blogroll so that they're all in one spot right where I need ém! And I'm with you Marcy, I kinda like the surprise factor too!

aww marcy, i go through those feelings too! when i believe ive lost a subscriber or dont have as much traffic as yesterday, or any other blogger woe ;) it does hurt. unfortunately, its both part of our sensitive and worried nature. when after a few hours or a different day, the memory slips.. we gain another new visitor and everything resumes as nothing ever happened at all.

in other words.. yr blog is loved by many, including me :)

it's their loss! :D x

i like the way you all come at things from a slightly different angle. and it's extra good to know that you guys feel some of the same things i do. makes me feel less crazy! :)
