Cocaine Princess here.Today marks my 1Year anniversary of blogging. Happy Anniversary to me!
In the beginning Valentina was my only reader. I remember her calling me up soon after I posted which she still continues to do. Most of my blogging (except on three different occasions) is done at home curled up on the sofa or in bed. Other times I'll be talking to Valentina while blogging. Usually she wants to know what it is I'm writing about and ask that I read back what I've written so far. I always tell her, 'you'll have to wait until I'm finished,' which never does go over very well with her.
Including this anniversary posting I have published 123 entries. I didn't realize I PASSED (much appreciated my anonymous mate) my 100th post in July.
The most amount of comments I've received was on a post titled Sometimes A Sneeze Is Just A Sneeze. 55 comments in total. (I suppose I could easily break that record if I accepted every comment I receive) If you recall I blogged about how bored I was stuck inside the house being ill and about a TV special I was watching, the Top 30 Countdown of Madonna's best videos. I listed all 30. Many of you either commented on the videos or sent in your favorite Madonna video. On that particular posting a reader sent me a question, 'what is your favorite song off her new album? I answered Devil Wouldn't Recognize You.
Aye-yi-yi. The amount of comments I received from that one song I selected is astounding.
I say 'is' because readers are still continuing to ask me whether or not it is true? For some reason these individuals have gotten it into their minds the song best describes why I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. You have taken it upon yourselves to believe that's what happened. Wow you have quite the imagination to have come to that conclusion. It's just a song and you're reading way too much into it. Remember how I explained sometimes a sneeze is just a sneeze? Well the same can be said about why I like that song. Is it not possible for a person to like something simply because they just do? There are some things in life that have no explanation. Yes the lyrics are quite deep but I don't relate to it on any level. I just like it: the music, the sound of the rain in the background, the choir vocals harmonizing in the middle, the guitar riff at the end. Perhaps it's my fault for not explaining why I selected that song but I didn't think I had to. Trust me you're making something out of nothing. You're looking for something that's not there. In case there are any doubting Thomases' or Thomasinas' still lingering ask yourself this question: do you believe I would permit myself to be treated in such a way? If you answered yes then you've learned not one thing about me over the year.
Two other questions I am regularly asked:
1) Why wasn't my comment published?
Answer: Do I really need to explain that one?
2) Why didn't you answer/publish my question?
Answer: Most of the questions sent I don't
feel comfortable answering/posting or the answers
are too sacred for just anyone to know.
12 months have gone by and during those months I have formed a cozy group of loyal readers.
I sincerely thank each and everyone of my readers for taking time out of their day to drop by to read my blog. Much love to you all. And the ones who leave comments/questions that have absolutely nothing to do with my posts, (you know who you are) you don't get any of my love....well maybe just a teeny bit.
XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess
