I Dream of Comments
You may claim this is just a figure of speach, but I literally dreamed last night that I was logging on xanga and shocked to find tons of comments on my entries… not just my most recent one, but some older ones too. We’re talking 13 comments on one I remembered there being maybe one comment on. I was shocked, but really excited, and was reading through them all and commenting back. I was like “I won’t give up on xanga after all!”
I don’t know exactly why I dreamed that- I guess deep down I miss comments, but xanga tends to come and go in waves. And I have no illusions that becoming a xanga-lock site has also reduced traffic. And I’m sure some folks dislike being visitted back because they visitted here. Perhaps being anonymous is important to some people. *shrugs* Anyway, I’m not sharing this to induce guilt, I just thought it was an amusing thing to dream about AND remember, since I rarely ever remember my dreams.

Hey Patrick, I also notice comments come in waves. holidays and busy lives tend to superseed visiting blogs and leaving comments. Personally I use it more to communicate with my friends then the telephone.
Have a blessed Easter!
I agree with the lady above…….
Deep down everyone (I think) want/expect/miss comments. Otherwise we would just write in a private journal.
I do read peoples blog on a daily basis….but don’t comment on them right after. For some reason I end up writing comments for a bunch of post at once….like I am doing now.
Later,
