Nuggets of Wisdom
(or "bring back the fun blog")
I talked to wiser, older sis on the phone briefly in the midst of my harried and extremely busy work day (haha). I had just reread some older posts and a wave of nostalgia hit me when I saw how many warm and wonderful moments we've all shared on this blog. The banter, the cheer, the laughing at old defenseless men. Good times. I told her I missed that. When readers were aplenty and the comments ranged all over. Those, my friends, those were the days. And she told me that if I would just stop writing so much about myself, especially about how pitiful I am and returned to the happy-go-lucky contests and elephant trivia days, the readers would come bounding back. I had to agree. I know quite well I've been digging deep into unpopular and pitiful land lately. I would apologize, but what's the point?

Aw, she must be more sensitive than I to these kinds of things. When I l
(damn blogger) ...eave you know you're doing something wrong.
And who one the lawnmower contest?
Nobody one, World. That's partly why I referenced it to see who would ask me that.
I have faith in you Worldgineer, that you will never leave. You are my lode stone, my early morning blog-reader, my commenter-even-when-there's-nothing-to-comment-on...er.
What kind of sauce comes with these nuggets of wisdom?
Pander, baby, pander. If you want the love you gotta sing the old stuff, sad but true. It's not free, unfortunately, all celebrities run smack into this harsh reality: it's not who you are, it's what you do for us.
But you can always do your laundry for free over at my house.
But I love your posts. Just the way they are.
I think it's special sauce, dag, if you know what I mean.
Anyways, thanks for the affirmation, Diva, the advice, calum, and the free laundry, el fid.
How do you all like the new Blogger comment features? Really cool, huh?
It's pretty, and saves a login step, and lets me see other comments, but still won't let me edit my typos/mistakes (like the won earlier).
Speaking of the contest, why did nobody win? They weren't that bad.
Listen here, sister mine, this world needs a winner and a loser.
Comprenez vous sa? It's Biblical or something.
can i be the loser h+p? losing is the bestestes.
The reason, beloved readers, there was no winner for that contest is owing mainly to the fact that I lost interest in it almost as soon as I posted it. I'm fickle and no one can stop me.
I know it's Biblical, HP, because the bible tells me so, but I still ain't announcing a winner. Or a loser, Lukas. You're all winners to me.
I pronounced a wiener, World. Everyone else is a loser. Even the winner's other entries are losers. Loser, loser, loser. (Feel better, Lukas?)
Aw, thanks [k]. Now it feels like there's been some closure.
I check my PO box every week, waiting for a monkey pin and a mystery gift. Nearly lost faith in the postal system. Good to know they only lose things 1/2 the time.
(damn MT!) You need to enter your e-mail address? But I'm afraid of Joel spam.
(sra said "weiner"!) And, Lukas, if you decide it, your loser days are over. Seriously. I'll brook no opposition...
soon h+p...soon.
