Blog Stalking

I have to admit, I have a problem. I'm a total blog stalker! My favorite way to waste time is to try to find blogs of people I know. I love to find people's blogs and read them. Not in a weird "I know where you live and where you sleep at night" kind of way. Just in a "it's nice to catch up on people's lives from my past" kind of way. I found Janey Ann's and Nate & Haylee's blogs at least a week before I commented and let them know I was peeking at their blogs.

An old coworker and friend of mine (Spencer) and his wife (Amanda) keep separate blogs. I was reading his today and I clicked on hers on his list and I commented on her blog and she doesn't really know me other than I used to work with her husband. So then I went to Spencer's blog and commented on one of his posts telling him I commented on Amanda's blog and hopefully she wouldn't think I was a total freak. His response post was: "Emily, don't worry, you are a total freak." And I suppose this is not new information.

I'm always a little excited to click down my contact list and see if anyone posted anything new recently - I do this at least every other day. Accordingly, I'm always a little disappointed if I make it thru the whole list without seeing anything new. My sister, Joanna (do I really need to specify that it's Joanna if I only have 1 sister - the process of elimination should take care of this one), can almost always be counted on to post something amusing nearly on a daily basis so I'm rarely disappointed. (By the way, if you post less than once a month, you may be kicked off my favorite people list - I may develop a minimum posting requirement.) And I'm always excited to see new little fun things like Brooke's look-a-like-o-meter (absolutely loved it and I voted - mine will be coming soon) and pictures are an absolute MUST at least from time to time. And I LOVE it when people comment on my blog and I enjoy commenting on others' as well. Don't even get me started on tagging - it makes my whole day!

But doesn't everyone blog-stalk to some extent? If there's anyone out there who's reading my blog and I don't know you or you're not on my contact list, please let me know who you are and if I should know you from somewhere. And if you blog-stalk others please let me know. And if I'm a total weirdo let me know - actually, keep that to yourself, please.
