Official Delurker Day 2010
I see all the people coming to my blog every day via ip addresses and Internet Providers. I think, hmmm, I wonder who that it is? Are they commenting? Do I know who you are? Why do you come back? Does the chaos of my life entertain you? Do you make a point to read my blog when you have time. Have you never commented on my blog, or other blogs? Well today is the day!!!
I also read blogs. Some of these bloggers intimidate me. I think gosh, I just have this little ole’ blog where I talk about my family and random stuff. I see all these men and women pour their hearts out with wonderful stories, questions, angst? What do I have to offer them? Well a comment, a “me too, I agree”. People love that they have readers on their blogs. Believe me, bloggers love comments. It justifies what they are writing. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be public. I’ve been very brave lately, and left tons of comments. Believe me, this is something I used to never do. Even Angry Husband has said, “stop lurking, leave a comment…” He knows me too well.
So feel free to comment today! If you have a question for me, let me know. If there’s something you want to say, do it! Also, if you want to e-mail me, you can always do that. My e-mail address is angryjuliemonday@gmail.com. I might not get to you right away, but I will as soon as I can.

Hi Julie! Always happy to give a friend a flash.
I laugh, Ms. Flasher, because even though we live in different states..How ironic is it that we are always missing each other. Seriously, hilarious! Maybe BlogHer we can actually find 5 minutes…
I know what you mean about leaving comments…and am trying to do the same thing you are…even if it is just a “I agree.”
So, my official comment to you is “me too.”
You’re too funny!
BOO!
lol..
I am a lurker.. I am bad about commenting on blogs now that I am always so busy. I suck. Still love ya though!
LOL…it’s because you’re too busy, crafting or cooking…or thinking that Starbuck’s needs to be closer to your house in Egypt.
Julie,
Love your blog, but you’re right. Sometimes, it is difficult to comment.
Thanks for the great posts.
Linds
Aww thanks for commenting!!! I know you are quite busy with that little boy of yours. Blogging was/is a great way to remember all those childhood memories. Besides the fact that I’m not a scrapbooker at all.
I’m trying to be a better commenter too! I’m the queen of the lurkers.
Love my fellow OC girls.
I see…hiding, lmao, just kidding. Sometimes we do so much chatting on Twitter that we practically know everything already.
I’m trying to stop lurking so much myself. I have to admit, since I started twitter following you, I’ve read every post. I just feel stupid commenting “Oh interesting” or something…like maybe I am wasting your time with my inane babble? But then, I heart other people’s inane babble on my blog, so I should take a lesson from that.
I’m unlurking.
And for the record, your blog intimidates ME for those same reason. I feel so plain and boring!
LOL, don’t be intimidated. I’m on my 3rd blog design, and I have been blogging for 2.5 years as Angry Julie Monday. I can’t tell you how many of the “Free Downloadable Blogger Templates” I used. I talked it over with my husband, and we decided that “yes, this is my hobby”. So I’ve spent a little money here and there, with my design and other things. My switch to WordPress was a little late birthday present to myself.
So true! I’m new to blogging and believe me when I say I would daily checks to see if I had any comments (okay, more than daily). Not that I really needed them but I really WANTED them:)
They started rolling in, just a few, but enough to let me know people are reading my stuff and they don’t think I’m nuts or stupid or a total geek (just a minor geek).
I’ll be back.
Comments are the best thing ever!!! Congrats on blogging. It takes some time but you will get the hang of it. I learn something new every day!
Hi! *waves* Just popping in to say hello!
Waving “HI” back!
I do lurk sometimes! I completely apologise
No apologies. We all lurk. I do a ton of reading from iPhone and the Google Reader. I star posts on there and go back later to comment.
I agree – it’s always wonderful to get a comment on your blog! And good for you for being brave enough to ask us all to comment
No problem. I think there are many people who read blogs, but are not bloggers. Especially with mom blogs. Some people don’t even know how to comment, or what to say. Hopefully this will bring some of them out of the woodwork.
HI Julie!! Not lurking today! haha!
Nope, not lurking, but thanks for stopping by!
I’ll admit that in addition to being a poor blogger (if I could even still be considered one at this point) I’ve been an uber lurker. Claiming I don’t have “time” to leave a comment. Obviously I’m committing some unnecessary time to lurk. Oops. Failed justification. Story. Of. My. Life.
Viva Angry Julie!!
LOL, I like that “Viva Angry Julie”!
You are a great commenter! And I love this post and totally agree! Having any kind of comment gives you a pat on the back that what your writing is for a purpose! I’m always mystified by the random IP addresses and definitely try to comment back when someone leaves their website! Thanks for another fun post!!
Here I am – here I am
LOVE your blog Julie!!

Stopping by to say “hi!” Followed you from Thetamom! Love your blog. Will comment more often.

Never diminish what you do. You are putting the effort into your blog and into showing fellow bloggers support!
I’m not a lurker.
Kisses!
LOL, you love to comment as I do too….really we just comment to say, wow…I have that too..
I’ve been lurking only for about a week. I found you at The BlahBlahBlahger’s blahg. I love it so far…so entertaining and I love that you call him Angry Kid!
Thanks for stopping in! No need to lurk.
