And speaking of love: Gentle Readers, you know I adore you, but how come you have so many followers and I only have 13 (including me)? You keep telling me how funny and interesting I am, but my own family members won't even follow me. So what if I say pissy things about them? The pissy stuff is funny, and they should be grateful that I've turned them into jokes. My BFF doesn't follow me. I only say nice things about her. I think she doesn't know how to follow me, and I understand that sometimes things are confusing. I visited Lola is 40 today (not me, another Lola), and I had to send her an email and ask how to follow her. I don't want to follow her on twitter; I just want to be a regular follower. I couldn't find the place to click to just be a regular follower. Maybe about 150 people want to follow me, but they don't know how.
Probably not.
Look at that big fuckin' lazy dog, has time to sniff a nasty stinky poopy baby, but can that dog be bothered to follow me?
Hell Noooooo.
So I'm just not feeling loved, especially since my anniversary was not too long ago, and anniversary time is so depressing for a dumped first wife.
But I love you all very much. I even love all the people who should follow me and don't.
Infinities of love,
Lola
When I first started blogging, I probably read 60 blogs a day and followed hundreds. Some of them followed me back.
ReplyDeleteSince then, a lot of the ones who followed me have quit blogging and, for all I know, have quit reading blogs, but they were kind and didn't unfollow me just because they quit reading. It's fair enough, because I am so busy lately and only read about 15 blogs regularly now (including you).
I think I have about 10 regular readers, including you.
So, if you want lots of followers, you have to visit lots of blogs and comment and follow them and see if they are interested and follow you in return.
For the really "big" bloggers, at some point they either hit "critical mass" and their followers' followers start following them, or they get some media attention and their follower numbers skyrocket. Most of us will never get that kind of bloggy love.
Suzy Soro ("Hollywood: Where Hot Comes To Die" - there's a link on my blog) at one point promised she'd follow anyone who followed her. She was true to her word. I followed her, and she followed me back. She even drops in and comments once in a while. I think she got quite a few followers that way. Then again, she's also an actress / comedian, so she probably would have had lots of people following her anyway.
Most of my friends don't follow me either. Then again, that's probably because I haven't told most of them that I'm a blogger...
LegalMist, I will try visiting more blogs and following them (but people should just follow me naturally because I AM Lola). Thanks for the advice.

Principled making my first notify at dumpedfirstwife.blogspot.com, which seems to be a wonderful forum!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Anonymous. I hope you'll become a follower and call yourself something other than Anonymous because too many other people already have that name.

LegalMist is right. You have to go out and plant the seeds if you want your blog to grow. So here is a seed coming to maturity. Thank you for jumping into the Coffeypot. I hope I don't disappoint.
ReplyDeleteOh! It's been my experience that when women overcome, they pass out. They should take the orgasms slow and continuous. Less chance of passing out that way.
By the way, that is not the correct bog that I see on your blog list. That was one that was set up in error. My regular blog has the Coffeypot on it. I'll look into it.
ReplyDeleteI am 17!
ReplyDelete(HA! I wish, try almost double that. :)
I get the anniversary thing, I remember being bummed out when I would have hit my tenth. This year would have been my 15th. HAppy to say I didn't even notice.
Even happier to say, that I was planning my wedding for my "non-practice" husband. :)
I get stuck at a certain number of followers for what seems like forvere, then all of a sudden, I get a bunch. It's like a finiky two year old, I swear. :)
Coffeypot - Don't know how I got the wrong coffeypot but thanks for sharing your seed. Thank God I had a hysterectomy a long time ago. As for overcoming, not a chance, baby.
ReplyDeleteJulianna - One of these days maybe I won't notice the anniversaries anymore. Of course, it will probably be because I'm senile.
Love,
Lola
I don't even understand what Anonymous said.
ReplyDeleteCinderita, I don't quite understand Anonymous either, but it seems to be a compliment and I love compliments. Plus, it gave me the opportunity to make my little joke about Anonymous being a really common name.
ReplyDeleteLove,
