Light My Vampire
From Candy Addict: The Periodic Table of Candy. Yum.
In the "Another One Bites the Dust" department: The perfect match pair of pantyhose for the top I wanted to wear this morning got a run in it, going from top to bottom as I tried pulling them on. It would have been only the second wearing for that pair. So I had to settle for a much older pair that's a bit lighter in color. The newer ones seem to tear faster than the older ones, but the older ones I have are falling apart or losing elasticity in the waist. These days, if I get 2-3 wearings from a new pair, I'm ecstatic.
I also want to go on record as admitting that I'm a link slut. I don't care much anymore about hits. But I do like to see my subs go up in Bloglines (I don't track other services), and I do like seeing return visitors. I check referrers and I keep an eye on links back to my blogs. I don't have to be most popular, and I sure know I won't be. I never was the popular kid and I've gotten used to not being popular. But I do like knowing some people like me and like what I have to say. I know commenting is time consuming. I'm as guilty of not commenting much as anyone else. So I look for other indications of love and acceptance: people signing that f'in Frappr map. Return visits. My place in the Ecosystem. I've got my little niche in the blogsophere and that's fine, really. And I do get a bit of a thrill when I realize that my words go out there, into the world wide web, one pixel at a time, to reach who knows who or how many, and that anyone bothers to come back to read some more is a real kick and why I continue to do this and why I get a bit obsessed about silly little things like link backs and comments and whatnot, because out here in the blogosphere, I can find an audience, and maybe even delude myself into thinking I'm popular, if only for a short while. And that's enough.

The perfect match pair of pantyhose...got a run in it
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOO!!!!!
I feel your pain. I really do.
Thanks, Brian. I knew you would understand.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny - I"m wild about my stats! I love moving up. I know it's meaningless, but it's fun and games. What's even more fun is to find someone who really is dead serious about stats, and then beat them at their own game!
ReplyDeleteI'm really really bad, aren't I?
What's really bad is that I used to write down the counter stats every night and check the next day's against it to see how much it went up. With a lot of blogs, that gets old really fast. :)
ReplyDeleteThese days, if I get 2-3 wearings from a new pair, I'm ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteWTF? 2-3 wearings? For real? Where are you buying your tights, woman?!
Well, most of the solids, which this pair was, are either DKNY or Hue from Macy's or a local women's clothing store. Usually, I just put holes in them with my nails when I put them on, but this time, I didn't get even that far.
ReplyDeleteMan. I get way more wearings out of my Hues. Even with my nails!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I hate to admit it, Brian, your legs are thinner than mine, so I stretch them out more.
ReplyDeleteAnd oddly, my older Hues are holding up much better than the newer ones, darn it.
Do you refrigerate your tights before wearing them?
ReplyDeleteUh, no. Refrigerate? I'm cold enough most mornings. brrrrrr.....
ReplyDeleteI don't refrigerate either, but I've heard it can help.
ReplyDeleteI must have 40 or more pairs of pantyhose (and that's not counting the heavier tights). I can just see my hubby's reaction when I tell him what I need a second fridge for. heh
ReplyDeleteWell, you'll just have to clear out the fridge you have, then.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, tights are way more important than food.
Am I right or am I right?
You're right, Brian. As long as I have the freezer for my chocolate ice cream (to make yummy malteds), I can give up the fridge for pantyhose. Well, I do need room for milk for those malteds, but they don't take up too much room. :)
