Well that hurts my feelings. I may have actually had a little tear in my eye about it. No, that was just dirt. Really, it was just a little dirt in my eye. But I was really enjoying the number 76. That was the number of followers I had. It made me feel like a leader. It made me feel like a hot shot.
Do people still even say hot shot?
Maybe that's why the follower decided not to follow me anymore. Maybe I am too uncool because I say things like hot shot and rewind. I mean, maybe a girl who says hot shot is just not worthy of that hip, fancy follower.
Maybe I am boring. Maybe my posts are just too all over the place to hold that meanie follower's attention. Maybe I need a niche. Maybe it's because I say an occasional swear word! Oh my Cod maybe it's because I said the V word yesterday!
Do I offend?
Actually, I really don't mind being unfollowed. For reals. Because if someone isn't feeling my blog, I totally accept that. I want the people who give me a second of their time to enjoy that second. If they aren't digging it, it's no skin off my nose -- it just means we aren't similar enough in some way to have a connection And I really think I prefer the number 75. It's rounder, don't you think?
So all of you (three) remaining loyal readers, I think we have a connection. I think it might even be a love connection. Because I puffy heart all of you guys. I might even be persuaded to marry you if my husband didn't care. And if it was legal in this state of course. Anyway, I know it's pathetic to beg, but please don't unfollow me. I'll make an effort to be cooler! I promise!
I get dropped all the time. Pretty much weekly. Although, I gained two followers yesterday. That's what writing about a sex shop does for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's happened to me 3 or 4 times since I started my blog. And it kind of gets to me and I do wonder about why. But, like you say, maybe they just aren't feeling my wonderful words of wisdom...LOL
ReplyDeleteIf I could, I would follow you twice so your number would go back up! I totes enjoy my visits here!
I'm dropped at least 2 or 3 times per week. It happens. It sucks, but it happens.
ReplyDeleteThere I just followed you so now you're even again.
ReplyDeleteI just hated that feeling of getting dropped. You harden up to it after a while and it barely makes you blink twice.
Never doubt yourself. Who cares what anyone thinks. Just keep being YOU and followers will come.
Oh, that reminds me of a quote by Dr. Seuss.
Today you are YOU, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than you!
You're back to 76 now and I assure you that you are NOT boring! :) I get dropped all the time and it still stings a little but then I remember that I clean out my blogroll once in a while too! It's just the nature of blogdom!
ReplyDeleteJust had to come back and tell you---I got dropped by someone today! Dang it!
ReplyDeleteYou're back to 76, happy to see, and I'm sure many more on the way Jess. As long as your #1 follower, Alex, doesn't drop you, life is good!
ReplyDeleteThat dumb followers thing really isn't my friend. I had it on my blog, then I took it down, then I put it back up, then I took it down. I hated feeling like my popularity was based on a number. And I hated noticing when somebody would follow a friend of mine, but not follow me.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, that was around two years ago and now, I honestly don't care at all. It took a while, but I'm in a happier place blog-wise :)
