Lurking

I think we all do this a little... Read blogs or look at myspaces or facebook pictures of old friends or friends of friends, or acquaintances and less-than-acquaintances (people we have heard other people talk about). The internet certainly skews our outlook on relationships by giving us a false sense of closeness with the ability to peak into the lives of people we would otherwise lose contact with (or not have contact with at all).

And, it's an interesting thought, really. I think almost everyone is guilty of this weird thing. (Andy thinks just girls do it, but I've caught him looking at pictures on facebook of people who he barely talks to.) I've noticed a few times since I started this silly little blog that people will randomly mention in passing, "Oh, I read your blog." Or, "I read about such-and-such on your blog."

So, I would like to do a little experiment. I know I look at random people's blogs, so I'm sure there are random people that look at my blog. And, I know when I look at random people's blogs I usually don't post because I feel weird posting on their blogs. But, I'm curious - if you read my blog, and even if I barely know you, will you post a comment on here? I promise I won't think it's weird :)

(My theory is that lurkers don't post comments, so I'm curious if anyone will respond to this, even if you do read it. I'm not sure if I'd respond on a blog that I lurk on if I read something like this.)
