I have come to the conclusion that we all (whether you want to admit it or not) are addicted to the "reality" craze. Some of you already know where I am going with this as you feel that guilty pang inside and the rest will know what that feels like after you finish reading this post.
Yes, I am talking about blurking. (dun, dun, dun...) Over the last couple of weeks while redoing our blog, many of you have asked me where are you links? I need to know what's going on with so and so. I was not aware of how common it is to follow a friends link to their friends link, to their friends and so on. And suddenly, there one is reading a stranger's post about this family's upcoming vacation plans. Of course, you have to check back in a week when they return so you can see the pictures of their trip! There's the pictures of the strangers smiling while eating ice cream, in their bathing suits at the beach, and the family photo - kids crying, weary from the day's activities and the parents trying to wrangle them while smiling. Does anyone else not see the weirdness in this? Yet, it is so addicting!?
I will be the first to admit it. My name is Danica and I am a blurker.

Danica,
I totally am too. It is so fun to see other peoples friends blogs and it was crazy because I found Quinn and Jordan's blog on someone else's page. IT was crazy. By the way, I love your hair. You and Nathan both look great.
Whatever are you talking about?... okay, I admit it...no shame... Let me know when they start the "Blurker's Anonymous". I shall attend the meetings with you!
Ok me too!! Is that bad? Is it like being a peeping tom? And that is why I locked my blog. No one is supposed to be able to see it with out being invited. I don't need someone looking at my vacation pics with out me knowing it. Oh yah, I have to actualy GO on vacation to get pictures......
Didn't know it was called blurking, but you don't need to start a group because I don't know one person that doesn't do it!
Danica! I am so excited to "see" you! I am so excited to see you have a blog. I am also a "Blurker!" At least I know you! : )
Haaa Haaa! I'm laughing out loud! OK so obviously I'm doing it right now! Although I do know you but I always just figured I was the younger girl on Knightline that you may or may not remember (chy Lundblade) but now I'm fessing up! I like to peek in on you and see what's up:) To funny
