that's right folks, it's my 300th post! woot woot! some of you are new here, and a very few of you have been here since my first post back in march 2007. a big thank you to all my faithful readers. we've laughed, we've cried, we've seen too much, we've bragged, we've complained, we've raved. and we've become friends. it's amazing to me the power of this blogosphere. i've made friends i wouldn't have otherwise and i've reconnected with old friends. i am a complete addict (you know that already).

so i'd like to know a few things:

1. who are you and why do you care? please leave a comment-you blurkers,you. (is that a rude way to put it? i've just been wondering for a while when i see how many hits i have on my blogpatrol from people i'm not sure i even know. just let me know you're reading, and i'll be sure to do the same if i read your blogs. this internet can be a creepy place, so let's make ourselves known.)

2. whether you're a blurker or a regular commenter here, what do you care about? take a moment, if you will, to take the poll in my sidebar so i know what you guys like to read about. it doesn't mean i'll change, but i'll consider it! afterall (and i've said it before) this is my blog. but since i'm putting it up here on the internets, i suppose you deserve a say too...

here's to 300 more! (okay, there's really no significance to "300", but i logged in and saw i was there and it was exciting-it's a nice big, even number.)
