The Way I See It... Am I Alone in the Cyber Universe?

Ok, nonexistent cyber-buddies! Now's the time to speak up if you're out there! I was excited to start this blog--un-proportionately, compared to the astounding lack of feedback I've received. Granted, I've posted three unimportant, hopelessly un-capturing posts, but I'm the kind of person who needs words of affirmation to keep me going. Part of me would like to keep going, but inspiration is hard to come by when I feel like I'm shooting tidbits of the workings of my mind out into nothingness!

I saw Julie&Julia yesterday. Absolutely adorable--please, go see it. Take your mom or grandmother with you; she'll enjoy it and it will be good bonding time. Let her buy the popcorn. So anyway, I saw the movie. In it, Julie starts a blog. She (both Julie and Amy Adams, but in this case specifically, Julie) is the kind of blogger (Julie)/person I aspire to be. She starts off a bit unsuccessful, like me, posting things no one reads and getting an equivocal amount of responses. However, she perseveres. I am not to this point yet. I want to give up. Such is my character unfortunately; to quit when I'm behind is a very ME thing to do. Though as I write this, I am becoming more determined. Julie got comments. Julie got consistent readers. Julie got a following. I'm not asking for that kind of success, but a couple people commenting and looking forward to my posts wouldn't kill me.

I am determined to keep going. I will post tomorrow (or later today, seeing as it is two in the morning) a post that is not threatening, does not boast, does not try to be anything other than what it is--a desperate attempt to not quit.

Really all I'm looking for in a comment is something positive. "Hey, your grammar needs work, but other than that, I liked it," is a very acceptable comment. "I like Regina Spektor too!" is another. "Your blog sucks; you should quit," is, while not necessarily wanted, an opinion I would try to value. Comments directly related to this post could go along the lines of, "I'm out here! And I can't wait to hear from you again!" Or, "I'm out here!" Even "Here!" or "Present," would bring a little bit of joy. Anything you can muster up to prove your existence would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you, nonexistent cyber-buddies. I'm glad we had this talk.
