Anyone out there willing to play go-between?
Someone, please tell carrot_red
that I’ve been trying for quite a while now, weeks… months… I
dunno, but anyway, I can’t get her comment box to work for me and she
doesn’t have a guestbook or an email link and if I spend much time on
her site my browser crashes or my computer freezes and I have to
restart. That’s something I’ve learned to live with as I browse
around on Xanga. With some Xangans I just make a mental note that
they have something, either animation or sound or whatever, that’s too
much for my little system here, and I leave them alone. In her
case, I decided it was worth subbing, so I’d be able to read her on my
subscriptions page, anyhow, even if I cannot comment, though it pains
me so to be muzzled that way.I did so much want to tell her yesterday I was glad she didn’t have to
wear pink at the wedding, to express my hope that she has warm skin
tones because that color she does have to wear would bring out all the
green in this redhead’s skin, and I wanted also to show her my
“first wedding” pic. I tried over and over, but on the third restart I gave up.
Here’s the comment she left me today:
How odd you left no comment. I interact with people, read them and comment on their entries…I return all my comments the day I update, just so you’d know.
Take care.

I guess she thinks I’m a stalker or a lurker, a creepy-peepy, or something. Ah, well…. *sigh*
FYI, Clara, in case you read this, I’m not nearly as “interactive” as
you are. I write when I have the time, energy, and inspiration;
read when the whim strikes me; comment when I have something to say and
Xanga and my computer will allow it; and am not the least bit
compulsive about “returning” comments I receive. I have not once **horrors** thanked anyone for subbing to me, and don’t always even check out the blogs of my new subscribers.There are some people
who think they need to subscribe when someone subs to them, but not
I. I have, occasionally, blogged about the odd personal quirks
that some people have come to think of as rules of etiquette for
blogging. I sorta like what Miss Manners had to say about it
recently. Anyway, Clara, your site is cute and I’m glad Xanga has
given me a way to read you without having my system crash. For
self-expression, though, I just must depend on my own blog, and the
comment boxes at less problematic sites, drattit!

jezuz haitch kwist…. There’s enough flashing shit there to stun a blind man…
Want me to copy ur wishes?
Oh…. And I could go in under the name of some nice dude rather than mitch….
D
Oh… And I love what ur font does to my tongue… DDDDDDDD
Consider the message passed. I checked and Mitch hadn’t done it (yet) so I passed it on for you.
I’m dumbfound. I don’t know what to say. Thanks a lot, Kathy Lynn.
It wasn’t the fact that you subbed, I never check out the sites that just sub either, it was the fact that you just left “eprops”, that’s what I found when I was commenting this morning. And I had gotten lots of dreaded RaNDom pRoPs yesterday… That’s why I left you that comment about *not commenting*.
I honestly don’t get why your browser crashes. Motzilla doesn’t like xanga, IE does. I don’t have any fancy scripts, or music and my graphics (flashing as they be), I always check their size and keep it minimal to make it easy on the dial-up ones… It isn’t supposed to take long to load and no one complained before.
I was very touched by your entry and by your messengers, both relayed the message, but in different entries. Odd named Mitch dude must have been blinded by all that flashing.
Clara
I love your first wedding pic and it’s always nice to meet another redhead.
Oh, and I’m glad to have taken this 5 minutes break (a lot longer by now), your entry made my day.
odd named Mitch dude…hahaaaa!
love the wedding photo. who was the lucky man?
i’m also loving looking at all the other new pics of you, ms. Kathy! LOOK at you now!
Oh and I’ve never thanked anyone for subbing either. We can go to blog etiquette hell together…first one there, saves a seat for the other, alright? And I rarely sub now b/c I have hardly any time to read the ones I am subbed to, let alone type entries. I have enough trouble coping with blog guilt. I refuse to take on anymore worries in the what to do or not rule book.
i don’t understand any of this blog etiquette stuff, and would much rather people be themselves than try to please other bloggers, so boo to blog etiquette.
