new blog followers!!!

this is how i feel every time i log on to my blog only to see that i have gained yet another loyal follower! so far i'm at 8. considering the fact that i am neither interesting nor do i know more than about 50 people, i am quite pleased with this success. however, one follower is a double, and several of them follow anonymously (which drives me crazy!)...hypocritical, i know, right? here i am, ms. mystery blogger herself, and yet i can't stand to not know who half of my followers are. it's sheer torment. so, dear anonymous blog followers, thank you for your readership, but WHO ARE YOU?

who are any of us, really? with all of our social networking tools these days we can reshape and refashion ourselves into just about anyone we feel like being. at times it feels like another mask for us to hide behind, but generally i feel that i can express myself much more freely here than i could in any other professional or sometimes private setting. most of the time though, i feel like i did when i was 8 and i would write in my journal about how much i love joey mcintyre from the new kids on the block or antonio saboto jr. from general hospital. i even went to the trouble of sending "jagger" (that was his name on the show) a fan letter telling him how amazing i thought he was and how much i wished i could meet him. i think i got one of those cheesy pre-signed photos back...it probably got tossed when i realized that soaps were stupid and muscly men weren't such hot stuff after all.
what can i say? this was also at the time that i was in love with clark kent off of the "new" superman series...people can change.
in any case, my blog is my new diary and somedays i feel 8 again (writing about heath ledger, or even how consumed i've become with this whole tiger woods scandal!)-most of the time though, i feel slightly more clued in as far as politics and social issues go. when i was 8, i just wanted to save the animals. now i have a more diverse selection on my social palate.

now that i've had my crowning glory of additional blogsters for the weekend, i'm off to clean some house and finish up a little renovation here and there. with any luck the house will be on the market this week...and there are already rumors that people are interested. cross your fingers fellow bloggies!
