'In hiding'

Following the temporary meltdown that blogger had on Firday night, I jumped straight on the the computer, went through all my past blogs, saved them, printed them & filed them. I know, I havn't been blogging long, but the past few months have marked some important moments in my life, so i'd like to keep a copy of my blogs as a record of this.

As I was saving one of my very first blogs a saw something I had not seen before...

That's right people, a comment. Not from my Mum and not from Mariah (my number one, and some times only reader).

No, this comment was from Angela. This made me so happy, that I squealed with glee (oooh mabe that's what it is?)



Why did it make me so happy?



Well I have been following Angela's blog for many months now, and I have also read alot of her blogs from her 'back-catalogue'.



As I do not know her directly, I feel as if I am semi-stalking her. Ok, maybe not that extreme, but invading her privacy at the very least? She is almost, like a celebrity on Twitter (I know you're not fond of Twitter Angela, but no other analogy comes to mind as I type - sorry). I am following the 'celebrity', there is a good chance the 'celebrity' knows that I am following them, yet the two parties very rarely communicate directly.



Looking  back on that, I felt so rude. 'Angela-the-celebrity-blogger'  had already commented on one of my posts, without my acknowledgment. How could I?



Then I remembered, a few weeks ago, I had built up the courage to comment on one of Angela's post's , aptly titled 'Followers versus Subscribers'. I started with my comment with "Hi...I'm a stranger..."



"Oh no, you idiot!" I scolded myslef. 'Angela-the-celebrity-blogger' had already "introduced" herself by posting a comment on my post, and I called myself, and therefore her, a stranger!



Then just as I thought over the ending to this post in my head, I had a thought. Knowing my luck, and the dedication that 'Angela-the-celebrity-blogger' has, she has most probably replied to my comment on her post, yet again un-acknowledged by me.



I checked. She did. Epic fail on my part.



So, Anglea, If by some miracle, you have decided that i'm not too rude, or too much of a freak, and are reading this....



Hi! I'm Nicole! Nice to 'meet' you! I thoroughly enjoy your blog, and thankyou very much for the very sweet comment on my post, and for replying to my query on yours. I shall try and do alot better, at this whole comment thing, as time progresses (unless you block me?)



I am officially out of hiding.
