Why are you here?
Apologies to Admiral Stockdale (it’s his line I’m improvising), but these questions need answering. A quick look at my stats shows me that my main page gets about 25 hits a day. Now, I don’t know that many people who actually read this site, and I doubt any of the ones I do know about are reloading the page a lot, so I gotta ask.
Who are you people that read this stuff?
I’ve been posting stuff here for nearly 2.5 years, so I guess I may have picked up a reader or two along the way. The thing is, I’ve got no idea who you may be. I’ve never solicited comments or “who are you?” feedback before, and I’m not going to make a habit of it.
This ain’t myspace.
So I’m not saying shit like, “OMG!!! Kin you leave a comment on my page?!?! I’ll leve 1 on urs!!!!”
Just trying to satisfy a bit of curiosity, that’s all.
I was looking over my comments log this week and there were a batch of comments that had been left on older entries. So I’m guessing I got linked to from Google or something. And some of you seem upset at what I’ve written.One dude (I’m guessing it’s a dude) took issue with my “Do you wanna spit in my face?” post about porn.
“uh, stop watching that brand of porn then, obviously you are a pussy and cant handle it…. because there are many out there who are exited by this, if you arent fucking delte the file, dipshit.”
Wow…. I hadn’t gone out of my way to download “spit in my face porn,” it was just something that occurred in one scene (the final one, IIRC) of one I’d watched. Believe me, this isn’t a fetish that does anything for me. If it rocks your world – hey, groove on with it.

Another angry commenter didn’t like my post titled “Kill Bushie!” about my modified hangman game I used in Korea.
“It’s unfortunate that they let you teach children. I hope you don’t procreate.”
Whoa. Well, at least you’ll be happy to know that procreation is not in my future. I’m happy to teach, but I can assure you – there will never be any “Little Drews” running around. Shit, you think I’d wanna raise me? ^.^

Not everybody’s upset at what I write, so it’s not all bad. I got a couple of comments about the gaijin gothic lolitas titled “Where are the white women at?”
“We weren’t bored, we do Harajuku almost every sunday with the other lolis. Loli is a way of life for us- we do lolita right and are thusly respected by the japanese lolis- they don’t mind that we’re white, its the style that counts. Plus we all live in Japan, so we’re not just tourists passing through. I’m the girl in the hat, by the by.”
“HAHAHAHA. This is great. These three are my friends — my best friend is the one on the right. One of her favorite past-times is to make fun of her own style, so I’m sure having her pic up here is cracking her up.”

Another positive comment came from a Canadian girl who seemed pleased with my work in spreading the term “bunnyhug” in my post “”I love my bunnyhug!”
“hey i’m a Saskatchewan girl and its crazy my boyfriend just moved to Alberta and hes been already brain washed to call a bunnyhug a “hoodie” I was in Calgary in August and asked if they had any bunnyhugs stupid idea they gave me the strangest look but I thought it was pretty funny. I plan on moving to Alberta next year but there not going to brain wash me to call it a “hoodie”…it sickens me lol”
(Original post made on 29 Oct. 2004, comment left on 26 Sep 05.)So if you’re one of these people (yes, even the angry ones), can you leave a comment telling me how you found my page, how often you read it and/or why you continue to read it?
Please? ^.^
(Oh, and the same goes for people reading that I don’t personally know who may not have left comments before.)
