One synonym for "lurk" is "prowl"...not good

Hmm... what should I write about today? Nothing noteworthy is going on right now and nothing really funny has happened recently. I guess I don't have to write anything, it's not like I'm getting paid for this. And it's not like everyone's going to stop paying attention to me if I skip a day. I skip days all the time!
But I hate when the blogs I read regularly aren't updated daily. I mean okay, take the weekend off, but during the week I need something to read! So I should probably try to offer the same.
Let's see, let's see. What to write. Maybe I could write about the delicious baked potato I had for dinner last night. What? No, nobody wants to read about that. Let's see, what about how frustrated I am with my car again? No no, I'm sure everyone is sick of reading about my stupid car problems.
Well I guess I'll just read some other blogs, who knows, maybe someone has an idea I can steal. Okay, oh haha, that's funny. But no, nothing to steal here. Next. Okay, now here I am at Quarter Life Crisis, Jen's always got something good to say. La de da oh what's this? "De-lurking is Delightful"? Why yes it certainly is.
Well looky here, it seems to be National De-lurking Week. Ah ha, an idea! Maybe I could just steal this here graphic... yep got it. Okay now if I just place it on my own blog, there we go, now I can officially ask people to step up and stop lurking. Genius, thanks for the idea Jen!
Look you guys, I'm not asking you to become all paticipatory and start commenting every day and emailing me and becoming my friend or anything. Even though that would be great too. All I want is to know who's reading. I've tried this before, tried to draw out the shy ones, but to very little avail.
In the last couple months my number of visitors has increased and I don't know why. I know of some friends, some family, some fellow-bloggers who check in regularly, but aside from them... who are you other hundreds of readers?
Please honor National De-lurking Month and say hi. Just this one time and then I'll leave you alone. For awhile.

Hey there! I'm not a lurker, as I regularly participate in the world of Doahleigh. But thought I would say hello, and thank you for giving me some link love! I think you're one of the needles in the blogosphere haystack (that's a good thing), so keep it up! You often entertain me. Maybe it's because we have such a similar style and we're both of Dutch descent. That's gotta be it!
well, you know i read because i comment so much i sometimes feel like i'm stalking you, lol ... not really but you know ...
national de-lurking month sounds cool though :-)
I'm not much of a lurker...or a prowler...but I'll comment anyway. Hi! ;)
You know I'm here.
I thank you for giving me something to take the dullness out of my day. I would try to take up writing but it really isn't my forte. I'll leave it to you.
In celebration of delurking month ... hello :)
