on followers

whenever i want to read someone's blog, i go through the series of clicks that get me to that blog from my own, by clicking on my followers. if i want to creep on someone who does not follow me, i click from my followers' blogs they follow. i'm having one of those instances where saying a word makes it not seem like a word anymore. follow. i don't know why i don't just follow them like a normal person would. i feel like there might be a fine line between where i know a person enough to read their thoughts and just being a creep. i prefer to creep anonymously.

i have a similar thing about facebook friends. if you've ever received a friend request from me, it was probably betty who did it.

i guess the purpose of this post is to let you know that if you're reading my blog anonymously and not following me, i'm probably doing the same to you. and if you're not reading my blog, i'm still probably doing it, you'll just never know.

  1. You can follow people anonymously so that they don't know and their new posts will still show up in your dashboard. I don't know if you know that or not.

    But srsly, you shouldn't be shy to follow people! I'm sure they would be flattered more than anything.

  2. Sometimes I feel like a creeper when I find somebody on ravelry and add their blog on Google reader, posting random comments once in a while ;)
