Velvet Verbosity

The purpose of a blog seems self-evident. Don’t call me on my narcissistic tendencies.

I’ve been quoted…

Checking out my statcounter stats, I noticed several people had visited from blog.thisnext.com. I couldn’t figure out what the link was. Then I found it here http://blog.thisnext.com/blog/sweet-tea-tree.html. I was quoted.

Cool. Does this mean I’ve arrived?

    well - all I can say is that I was onboard both when your ship came in and when your train had left the station

    whatever that means!

    Well, what does it mean?

    I have been following your words, your spirit for several months

    I jest, I jest

    sometimes you must take me seriously, and sometimes you cannot

    perhaps I should produce a roadmap for my soul? for you?

    What inspired you to comment now? Not that it matters…I’m just a little curious about silent readers. I can’t even think what to liken them to, but I do wonder why some prefer not to announce their presence in any way.

    *shrug*

    I’m just glad you’re here.

    well I began following you at Nerve - where my alias is luxveritas

    I stumbled onto you here via ttractor who I also discovered on Nerve

    and was particularly touched when you posted on my blog as I assumed no-one was reading it (I’ve abandoned the Nerve blog and nearly abandoned this one - I blog elsewhere where I have an audience)

    I’ve been following you closely here for a brief month or so - but I’ve known about your writing for almost half a year

    anyway that is the short story of my dalliance with your words - which I adore

    Ah. Now it all comes clear. You ought to tell us where else you blog, that place where you have an audience. I will visit you there.

    Thank you for adoring my words. Seems a silly thing to say.

    It’s never silly to say thank you, even though I sometimes feel boringly grateful. I didn’t realize Lux was posting his own stuff en plein air either, and now I am abashed.

    Maybe if they send you free stuff you can say you’ve arrived!

    Hmmmm, good point.
