calling all blog voyeurs

this is not what you think, really.
let me clarify. i was at a Christmas party when someone came up to me and said, "I read your blog." It kind of freaked me out, because I had no idea this person even knew I had a blog, let alone read it. She then told me that she reads several people's blogs, but doesn't like to comment, and she called herself a "voyeur." the term kinda made me swallow real quick-like, but then i kinda understand what she was saying. she's talking about that desire to just read along without anybody knowing you're reading, without having to worry about what to say back, getting to be anonymous and safe. i get it, i do....but heck! it's no fun for us bloggers who are starved for interaction and would love to hear your thoughts. so, to all you blog voyeurs out there, i say, don't be afraid! stand up and comment! you will make my day.

Hi Julie, I guess I am now an offical "blog voyeur".. altho the only other blog I have ever looked at is Nat's! And on her blog, she suggests I check out yours! It was so good to read your words. You have a gift... A leaf in my blueberries, it's just the beginning, I want more! Love you, Liv
