Has this happened to you?

While blogging, I just noticed myself doing some things unconsciously, which amused me. I am not sure if this happened to anyone else?!.

1. When you go blog-hopping, have you noticed a girl's name and clicked on it (which takes you to the profile - obviously no age there - "kaanjiyaa?") and clicked again on the blog link - only to see loooong poems, and you are out of there in 2 seconds?. I must admit, I have done this several times. So stereotypical of me.

2. Feel annoyed or *gulp* jealous that a lousy post received 30+ comments?. And pretend to feel better since the author himself has written lots of comments?!

3. See a really nice post and feel obliged to comment - only to see that your thoughts have already been expressed - "yovv.. ellam munnadiye solliyaachu. po po.."

4. Forced yourself to comment because you have an obligation to do so, since you visit some blogs frequently? .. (please, please, frequent visitors to my blog - I don't mean you.. you are gems!!!)

I just hope these things are natural to everyone. Else, I am one screwed up mental case!!

Just for fun!.

PS: Reason for my happy mood - great escape from hurricane dennis!

  • Deepak, Thanks to you for your help on Ponniyin Selvam... This is one great thing about blogging..

    I too agree with all your points in this post. I have also DONE that.. I felt that some have been blogging for years, so, they are 'seniors' so they get lot more hits, lot more comments..

  • Ram: actually, the comments point.. it was a self-deprecating account of myself... lol.. take a look at my posts and their comments.. half would be by me..

    GP: glad that the site was helpful. yea, i am still a "bachcha" as far as blogging is concerned..

  • TTG: Certainly have faced situation 1. And a variation of situation 2, where I have thought that a good post does not get comments, esspecially when it is inteded to get a discussion going!

  • I am glad Hurricane - Dennis made you write what I wanted to yell-out-loud..several times..!

    I've been there, done that.! I think almost all bloggers would share your/mine sentiments.!

    Maybe we should do a Poll.....Ok got a hint..I've do a POLL.! next week.!!

    By the way. thundu/thuni ellam safe dhane? I mean the after-effects of Dennis-the-menace.!

  • Narayanan: seems like you are online now as I write this comment. Looks like the relief would be short lived.. tropical depression 5 coming up..

  • Bloggers oda saraasari experience thaan idhu. At least you are thinking loud about these issues whereas some people may not even be tuned in to what they themselves are doing in the blogosphere on a daily basis :-)
