TAKEN FROM SPARKLEFARKLE'S "So Make It One for My Baby..." COMMENT SECTION, Friday, December 30, 2011 (Read it and weep. I DID.):
"THE THING OF IT IS: As if I wasn't crushed enough, I pathetically resorted to going over my blogspot stats, where I fully and blatantly realised the following (along with a MAJOR stringer of other numbers that made me cry out, 'OUCH!'):Since early this morning (Being it's a holiday week-end, I was excitey and my hopes were soaring! So, fool that I am, I checked the records at about 7:30-8AM Central. Why I'm bothering to tell you all the silly details, I'll never know.), this particular blog article, which, unfortunately, has followed the same miserable path that the majority of my other entries have, has been viewed 8 times. Here comes the wretched part: Only three people--count'em, THREE--responded. And, ready or not, here's the even more heartbreaking pièce de résistance: TWO OF THOSE COMMENTS WERE LEFT BY ME.
Especially because my 'story' was all about wishing stoppers-by a Happy New Year!, you'd think the polite thing to do would be to respond in kind. But, NO.
CRIPES ALMIGHTY...
Seriously, what is it with YOU people?! Are you so shallow that you can't even be bothered to leave a meaningless 'Happy New Year, SparkleFarkle!'? Yeah, I'm a nice person, and, yeah, you guys hurt my feelings. CONTINUOUSLY. Think about how YOU would feel if nobody ever talked to YOU --actually chose NOT to talk to you? Over and over again.
Man, what a perfectly crappy way to ring in the New Year... You skin-deeps make me sick to my stomach.
Again, a BIG 'Happy New Year!' goes out to dear pal RottieGirl! But as for all you other--dare I say it? H*** yes, I dare-->SCHMUCKS, I've changed my mind: Have a rather bland 2012 instead. Uh-huh, 'I'm as mad as h*** and I'm not gonna take this anymore!'
'I'm a human being, God d*** it! My life has value!'-ly yours,
Love,
SparkleFarkle 'Beale'"

Aw, FORGET IT. I'm not going to waste my time and YOURS, filling in the "they said"/"I said" blanks. Just know that I go out of my way to answer comments, which means at least half of the ones recorded are my responses to readers, and NOT messages left to me by stoppers-by. And, sometimes--far too many, I'm afeared--those comments are ME talking to ME. Sad, isn't it?
What I want to know is, who do you have to sleep with around here to get a loyal following?! Yeah, I'm still spewing like a red-hot volcano. What of it? WOULDN'T YOU BE?!
You did bring a condom, didn't you?
*returns an hour and a half later*
Great. Now I've scared everyone off.
Lucky dog me...
Silly sparkle. Never check your comments or stats. It's a lesson I've painfully learned.
Happy New Year, Pam! I don't have to check my stats to know that, typically, I can count the number of comments I get on two to three fingers, if that. You're average is about 10.5, I'm guessing? Cool!
[SparkleFarkle said: Posting this email from Becky Povich: Writer Searching for Bliss>, because I'll take a comment any way I can get it --I'm just that desperate.]
Hey Miss Sparkley Gal….
Chill, honey! Gosh, did you get into some bad booze?? You know I love ya! And even I didn’t make it over there to comment on every single post of yours.
I wish you a fabulous year of 2012, dahhhhhling!
And may I say just one little thing about your blog? I don’t want you to be upset with me, but I truly believe you would like my honest opinion. Sometimes….or really a lot of times….your blog posts are very difficult to read, because your different fonts, and sizes of fonts. I can only think that maybe that by itself may turn some people away. Some of us “oldie but goodies” can’t see too well anyway…ya know! :)
Anyway, I hate to think you really are that upset, and since I know you have a great sense of humor…..I’m hoping at least part of your rants are meant to be funny?!
Hugs to you!!
Becky
Golly, Becky I'll have to consider putting "Getting a grip on my fonts" at the top of my New Year's Resolutions list. Either that, or catch would-be viewers, who are nearing my blog-door only to turn away, and hand out carrots to them as I encourage them to enter.
Thanks, Sparkle! Happy New Year! I look forward to all your posts in 2012!
I hope you have a happy new year! I was busy being a maniac last night so I did not visit anybuddy's blog. Um, and I broke the leg off my Mommeh's keyboard running around acting crazypants.
Happy New Year, Daisy! Sorry to hear you broke a leg --off the Momsy's keyboard, that is. LOL!
Hope you find the Super Glue-ly yours,
SF~~~~~*
