I he...What the hell? Only 53 comments?!!!!!!!????<br /><br />I hear ya, sistah. I had the same thoughts/experiences mostly as you did. And I am not victim to horrid comments, because really, the only people who even bother reading me are people I know personally or who I badger for months until they break down and put something on there. But as for getting lots of traffic, that doesn't happen so I don't get snotty stuff. However, I have heard very often about people whose blogs are popular getting lots of 'reaction' about something that's written on the blog, even though the blogger has a right to write whatever she wants and they don't have to read it.<br /><br />I'm on my second blog, too, but have been blogging about the same amount of time as you have. I had a love/hate with it due to trying to find my 'style', get over my fear of revealing too much, and also the problem with feeling like no one was reading it. But I eventually realized it's a great form of diary, and as long as Blogger doesn't crash, it will be there for reference if I need it. So. What the hell. Plus, it's way worth it overall, and quite a riot most of the time!<br /><br />Congrats to you!

I can totally relate to a lot of what you wrote regarding your earlier phases....although I've been blogging for 6-7 years via xanga and myspace, I didn't create my url until a year and a half ago, and didn't start promoting it until a half year ago and in that half year, I can totally relate to some of your earlier experiences portrayed in the text/doodles.

If you are leaving cookies, I shall most definitely provide you with coffee. I hope you wander back someday :) <br /><br /><b>@deray</b>! Hey lady thanks for the comment and the guess :) <br /><br /><b>@Lord Likely</b>, Hello my long time Moustached blogging chum! I am SO happy that you are at last doing well! Long may this run of fortune continue, so that you can live in the style that you are accustomed and have all the harlots you desire (can afford).<br /><br /><b><br />@Pedro: BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b><br /><br /><b>@Salomey</b>: Thanks dude! You need to blog on too! <br /><br /><b>@Ellah Sun</b>, Hello, Thanks for stopping on your blog stroll :) I have been tempted on numerous occasions to stop this blog and start another, but overall I am glad that I didn't. Hopefully you find a blog that you stay happy with :)<br /><br /><b>@WG</b>, Hello my special doodle wonder of a friend. I am definitely looking forward to your opinions on my future doodlings, almost as much as I look forward to your stuff. It seems that you have finally found that blog balance, well I think so anyways (I HOPE so).<br /><br /><b>@Yoga!</b> Hey my yogic wonder of a blog chum, have you been? I hope you are well? <br /><br /><b>@Juliana</b>, Hey dudette, Hope you are well? I think the thing I liked about you and your blog the most, was the sense that it was really 'you' typing those words. As you know this blogging voice and authenticity thing,is really important to me, especially when its a personal blog and your blogging under your real name. You inspire and encourage me Juliana! I hope that you continue to blog, write and doodle for a long long time, as people need someone like you.<br /><br />I also REALLY want some Tizer now, I haven't had any for bloody yonks!!!crpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740212737574269503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-61094224801165841692010-11-17T02:20:54.014+00:002010-11-17T02:20:54.014+00:00@Funkkee!

Thanks for always reading and always leaving such lovely and thoughtful comments :)<br /><br /><b>@Brilliant Aether</b>: Hello!! If you check my posts for this year, I have been crawling to, well in comparison to other years anyways. At least crawling is not completely stopping.<br /><br />I suppose I could have been entertaining before I realised it, but I think as the therapy training got more in-depth, I became a LOT more comfortable with my weirdness and posting about really emotional things. That is something I would have never done previously. You need to blog more and you most definitely need to toot that trumpet loudly and get flogging more of those amazing wares you create. <br /><br /><b>@Redbearded one</b>, Hello, hope you are well? I have been meaning to take a look at 'In Treatment' for a while now, thanks for the reminder! <br /><br /><b><br />@Linda,</b> hello oh verbose one. I think it was the candied one that drew us together, but to be honest I can't actually remember what it was that made us click as such good blog chums??? You are right that I don't blog enough, even though I am quick to criticise people for blogging too much or not at all, so long may we BOTH blog! and long may we be very very good friends :) <br /><br /><b>@Nicone</b>, Hello! Much thanks for wandering over here. I do believe you are going to be my handy Norwegian blogger? Which is lucky because I am currently working on a Norwegian inspired doodle and shall eagerly await your opinion on it, once it is finished! <br /><br /><b>@DailyBeer</b>, Hey Rob thanks for wandering here without any incentive! I definitely get why you didn't/don't like BC,I am just a glutton for punishment I get and really hope they get over the current problems. It has been great for my blog over the years, so I do feel a certain loyalty to the place.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment about the artwork, its much appreciated, as you know I love messing about with photographs and doodles.<br /><br />I really do enjoy your blog, as I love beer and I think your blog just gets better and better. The thing that must be hard is the 'Daily' part, I just couldn't handle that type of blogging pressure, real or imaginary. Maybe just start being a Dailyish blogger, to ease the feelings of burnt out? <br /><br />Also I did laugh at ALL your attempts at guessing the book an kinda feel bad that you didn't guess correctly. Thanks for trying though! You get an A* for effort.crpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740212737574269503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-38309162974432466802010-11-17T01:39:22.965+00:002010-11-17T01:39:22.965+00:00@NothingProfound: Hey I was pretty boring when I s...<b>@NothingProfound</b>: Hey I was pretty boring when I started blogging, well maybe not boring, but I wasn't really representing all the facets that a multifaceted being has :) As always you seek to make me blush with lovely words and great insight, which I appreciate a LOT.<br /><br /><b>@James</b>: You shall never know how spooky your BFG guess was, well maybe in the future you will! Cryptic I know, even though it was a wrong guess, its is VERY relevant to something else I am working on. I feel bad because I only caught up on blog reading this past week and discovered that one chapter of your blog life has closed, without me saying goodbye and well done. Your insight is simply amazing James, painful, oh so painful to read at times, because I am a rescuer and would LOVE to have a magic wand for my special friends. Anyhoo onwards and upwards with your other blog stuff, which is creative and inspiring, I still check out your haiku monsters and will definitely be using them as a source of reference in the future! <br /><br /><b>@recycle cindy</b>, Hey thanks for the comment fellow long time blogging survivor! I hope that we shall both continue to haunt the blog world for a long time yet.<br /><br /><b>@Theresa/SKDD</b>, Thanks for such a lovely. thoughtful comment. It has definitely been a fun ride so far and so nice that I have such wonderful company along the way. Although we are quite different in our ways of dealing with annoying/troublesome people on the wonderfully weird place that is BC, its great that we are also have a lot in common and that you have taken the time to see that I am a horse of many colours :)<br /><br /><b>@Sci Fi Gene</b>, Hey dude! Thanks for the great compliments about the doodles. To be honest I am surprised that I ever tried the paid blog posting in the first place, its a horridly boring soul destroying thing indeed! <br /><br /><b>@Shybutterfly</b>, Hello! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and for the lovely compliment about the doodles! Hopefully you come back again :)<br /><br /><b>@PoshTotty</b>, Hello! Long may you blog posh one and I am thinking of you and the little man! Hope he gets sorted before xmas and that you get your ears sorted out!<br /><br /><b>@Caligrams</b>, Hey thanks for that, but look around, no links to be seen anywhere.<br /><br /><br /><b>@Melinda</b>, Oh a lovely thing to say Melindy. It's great to hear something like that, from a blogger like you. Someone who puts the heart and soul on their own blog for the world to see! I hope even when you get the book deal, that you will continue to blog! I also hope that one day, we will manage that meet up! <br /><br /><b>@Danagib</b>, Hey Dana!

I shall indeed keep blogging, especially when I receive such wonderful comments like this :) Will update on the mumborg in the next post after typing out all these replies! :)<br /><br /><br /><b>@Jeremy from we took the bait</b>, Hey dude, Wow that is a shit load of days. <br /><br />Thanks for popping over and leaving a comment, even though I was such a weirdo about the peeler!

I should have mentioned that in my summary of blogging.<br /><br /><b>@Alison</b>, Ahh the mythical Chris, someone whom I thought would carry on blogging, but has disappeared from the land of the webs. I presume he is well? I forgive you for being a bad blogger, mainly because I follow you elsewhere and I am not the most frequent blogger myself!<br /><br /><b>@TJ</b>, Hello my doodlistic chum! Gosh popcorn left! Hmm you definitely wont if you did read 1,2 and 3 as well! I remember our first conversation was about doodle hair I think? So much has happened in a year! Which seems like a short and long time simultaneously. So glad I inspire you, because as you know, you most definitely inspire me!<br /><br /><b>@Tricia</b>, Only since July! Wow you got into the swing of blogging right away. I think you most definitely have a unique blogging voice, so maybe that is why it reads like you have been around for a while :) I am definitely interested to see how your blog develops, I wonder what it will be like when you fall in love and go all domesticated? hehe<br /><b><br />@Barb</b>, Hey Barb! So glad you felt the same way about memes, I was reluctant to write that at first, because I didn't want to offend people. That was not my intention at all. The 'memes' were just blog filler/fodder for me, when I just didn't need things like that on my blog. It stopped me from writing about things that I really cared about and I realised how shallow some the comments I got were and worse, how shallow the comments I was leaving for others. So happy you are still blogging and that we reconnected :)<br /><br /><b>@Lisa</b>, I think we have known each other for years now, in the blogging world. Before you were married and everything! You had just started taking pictures and now look at you! A superb wedding photographer, married and a super cute baby! Really excited to see where your photography takes you next! <br /><br /><b>@Ade</b>, I went back and read comments from my year three post, you wrote such a lovely comment then too! Except LOLing at my screenshots, was it that bad? haha! Thank god you never saw the very first incarnation, luckily the wayback machine doesn't travel that far back.<br /><br />I have borrowed a portable tattoo needle from a friend, so next time I see you, I WILL finish the job.<br /><br /><br /><b>@Max</b>, oh the irrepressible flea ridden dog, that LIES! haha.<br /><br /><b>@Dave</b>, Thanks for wanting the stash so badly! :) <br /><br /><b>@Crystal</b>, Heya! Hmmm I think it might be two years? Or even longer!<br /><br /><b>@Agit8r</b>, That would not surprise me at all!<br /><br /><b>@Mark</b>, Well I was going to be a smart arse and pinpoint exactly how long we have blog known each other, but I can't bloody remember! I shall blame it on Fanton though, I am 'sure' it was something to do with him! I hope you will continue forever with your surreal and wickedly clever blog.<br /><br /><b>@Evija</b>, Thanks ever so much and thanks for letting me know how you found this blog, tis much appreciated.crpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740212737574269503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-4543185931336273452010-11-12T09:39:59.316+00:002010-11-12T09:39:59.316+00:00Four years - wow!

For me, it is esential to please me first and foremost - if others like it that is truly great.<br />I am so excited to see how the doodling develops Claire, there is such amazing potential there as not only do you produce visual engagement, you have the vision to get a message across.<br />Smiles and blessings, fish and chips and a bottle of Tizer. :)Julianahttp://www.julianamatthews.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-54264343936298318872010-11-11T19:29:18.535+00:002010-11-11T19:29:18.535+00:00Congrats on your anniversary, Claire!
