It’s March 1st. Already. What the hell happened to February? I mean, seriously. Where did it go? Zoom, February is gone. Now it’s March 1st, just one month until April Fool’s Day. Time for you to start planning your April Fool’s jokes if you’re that sort of person. I still remember the year that a bunch of us exchanged keys to our blogs and let each other post and people had to figure out which posts were real and which were fake. It was quite amusing; maybe we should do that again.
But today? Today I’m declaring a special day … don’t be a fool! Don’t blurk! Comment! Blurking is bad, commenting is good. It’s been too quiet on the internet lately, it’s time to come on out and play! As an added bonus, the last time I did this I discovered some pretty kick-ass blogs that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. Now I read them (and comment on them) every chance I get! So come on out and comment, it’s a Blurker Amnesty Day!
Props go to Sheryl who created the image for de-lurking day earlier this year. I couldn’t resist using it again. Blurking is a bad thing, and sometimes we all need a reminder to come on out and play.
(Honestly, I swear… this is not an attempt to procrastinate and put off work. Really. I promise. You believe me, right?)
By the way, it’s ok if you take advantage of blurker amnesty later this week, or even next week… I won’t mind!

Ooooo-kaaaaay, just one comment. But then I have to get my kids up and ready for school. Hello! *waves*
You’ve got people blurking all over the place. That could get messy! 🙂
hi
Here I am, not blurking. Great blog – ran across it while scrolling through the blogroller directory.
hello *waves*
found you via the moxie girls…can’t wait til my design(s) are done (then you can actually view my site using other browsers and not just corny IE).
‘ello there! I suppose I’m not technically a lurker, but I wanted to say hello and g’day anyway. So, g’day! 🙂
Would it kill ya to comment?
It’s March 1st! The end of the cold and dreary winter days are fading away, soon to be replaced by warm sunny days with light and fanciful breezes. I can almost smell the spring rain. Can you? Oh wait, that’s just Bubby filling his diaper again.
…
Often a lurker, rarely a commenter.
How many de-blurking days are there?
Guilty of blurking!
I feel particularly guilty because I’m a Bloglines Blurker. Enjoying reading about your knitting! I started around the same time you did so it’s been fun to hear about your projects!
Yo!
*eats a cookie*
Coming Out of the Woodwork
Christine has declared that today be a “De-lurking is Delightful” Day and since I’ve been feeling lonely, I’m going to…
😉 Heya.
I’ve commented before, I’m fairly certain 😉
Oh, all right.
This is Sara, whom you met in the yarn store last week! How are your socks coming?
Hi there! I followed a link from Daisyhead’s site.
Awww… look. I crashed after being awake for something like 26 hours, and here you all are. How fabulous is that! (I’ll be e-mailing more later, but just had to post here.)
Oh, and Nastybastard? *Every* day should be a no-blurking day!
HEEEELLLOOOOOOO… wats blurking? i forgot to update my netslang from 2000 to XP
This is my first time on your blog – I linked here from HTown Blogs, but I like your style. I’m also in the Houston area with a blog of my own, so check it out if it pleases you. I would love to have you comment on my blog.
Busted!
Another blurker, checking in. I found your blog while blurking around at blogmoxie. Love your layout!
I’m not usually a blurker, but lately I’ve been reallyreally busy, so hi! 🙂
Makin’ my rounds, and stealing De-Lurking Day to boot!
Hey there! 🙂
Ahh… blog + lurking = blurking. Clever! I need to invent my own word too. How about poo + potato = pootato. I don’t know where you’d use it, but I hope it catches on anyways.
Blurking is terrible, nasty stuff. Causes cancer too.
I’ve actually become more of a blurker lately because my list of feeds is approaching that critical length when I begin to rush through them. At least I can still catch up on the weekends. 😉
helloo! blurking happens when there’s increased piles of crap on my desk that requires doing. I love your blog!
With you on this. Earlier it was celeebrated here:

I love that graphic. 🙂 It’s a riot. I actually have comments disabled on my blog temporarily until I figure out some anti-comment-spam tactics. Not sure if I told you this yet, but I just love the new pink design!
Just thought I’d stop in and say hi! I haven’t read your blog in a while because work and mid terms have had me going out of my mind, but I love your blog!
