Blog friendships are the best...

I like having blog friends... Eddie was talking about trying to get rid of a real friend that...

"Whenever I am with them it is like being trapped in a coffin and every word they speak is like the dull thud of dirt being shoveled on top of me."

The nice thing about blog friends is that you don't have to make an effort to stop being their friends... you just stop visiting and commenting and then they stop visiting and commenting on your blog and then: "Viola"... the friendship has ended. And if they don't take the hint... then you can remove them from your blog roll and then they will really get the hint.

Blog friends are the best.

So, If I haven't visited in a while... well, sorry... the only thing I can say is:

"It's not you... It's me."

(Although I will say... that sometimes I don't visit because I am blogging at work and your blog has music on it and it scares the crap out of me when I go to your blog because my speakers are so loud as a result of listening to my "Walkman" too loud as a kid... Of course in this case, it's not you either... it's just me.)

still on the list, whew, I was worried there for a second (well no really I wasn't)

Wow, who new blog relationships/friendships were so disposable

Are you sure the speakers are loud because of former walkman use or because you are getting on the older side and hearing begins to diminish? What, you didn't hear me, ok I'll speak up, sir.

Katie Who?

(At my "age" senility begins to set in and you forget who your friends were.)

*Notice past tense... this was not a mistake.*

Ahhh... KATIE... now I remember.

Somehow the words "Katie" and "Idiot" helped me make the connection.

Funny how certain words help to trigger memories.

lol.

Good thing I saw your little address on my Stat Counter this morning, otherwise I'd be worried!

We're still friends, right Ben McMinn? :)

JCol's too sweet to draw the wrath of Ben, me I'm a lightening rod, but a fun sassy lightening rod that you can never stay unfriends with for long (right?)

Whee, it's like the days of summer when we all commented with wild abandonment on each other's site, I've missed that

I agree, we haven't had a commenting day like this in a MONTH of Sunday. I'm just following you around K-T! Wait for me with those long legs (and fingers and toes) of yours!

i have people on my list that i want to remove, because i never visit their site, and they rarely visit mine, and so perhaps i've now been motivated to remove their names.

Ha, that music thing made me laugh. Yeah, I love my blog friends. So easy. No high maintenance.

soooo.... if there is someone on your list, and you don't want them there, you can just take them off? i seriously cannot keep up with all the blogs on my list, and would like to pare it down to just a few.

watch out!

Whew! Since you commented on my current post, does that mean we're still friends?

If you don't have a lot of time but you still want to keep up with your friends' posts, I recommend Bloglines or another feed reader. It's cut my site visiting time in half because it tells me when there's something new--I don't have to keep checking. Well, except for on THIS site. :)
