I feel like I’m permanently mislaying the blogs I love. I convince myself I’m “following” them (because I have a million and one bookmarks for my other blog so it makes more sense to me to “follow” them on Blogger – saves me getting confused, which is easily done!), but then 5 days down the line, when said blog hasn’t, apparently, been updated, I realise I was never following it! Gutted! Then there’s a lot of back-reading to be done! It breaks my heart!
I realised this morning that I wasn’t following one of my favourite blogs (Lilyspeak) and my goodness it was a shock! I have no idea how long it’s been since I read her blog but I’m feeling stressed as there’ll be a fair amount of catching up to do! The pressure!!! The even worse case scenario is a I fell in love with one of the first blogs I found via Blogger and I cannot, for the life of me, remember what it was called or how I found it. Talk about devastated! Just in case you know it...it's the blog of a teacher and she has an Autistic pupil who was about to become a main feature!! Please help!
Anyway…this is for you!
Yes you. You reading this I mean you!
Dear ______ (insert as applicable),
I’ve been meaning to write to you for a while now, but the time just never feels right. Somehow I just don’t seem to be able to find the words to say what I want you to know.We've been dating for almost a month now, it feels like an eternity (in a good way!). I know some of your biggest secrets and you will learn more of mine as the days go by. I can be shy. There are two massive secrets in my life (no, it's not that, I'm definitely a girl!) that I don't yet feel able to tell you. But I will get there.
You haven't yet taken me for dinner or to the cinema or even spoken to me on the phone, but I feel we have something special.
I love that you read the things I write for you and that you leave me little love notes in response (even if you were a little horrified at this post). I love that you keep on coming back and so I love to pop over to your (metaphorical) house and leave you little messages as well!
In short…I love you! It really is that simple and if I had said that I wouldn't had have to write this letter....yes...I am dumb but I'm not blond (sorry if you are blond!).
I love you Mr/s Blogger! I hope you love me too!
Yours faithfully,
Jen
Footnote: In particular there are 16 of you that I especially love....you know who you are! Those 16 boys and girls who openly admit to loving me and also openly admitting that I am in fact fantabulous!!
Further footnote: I have actually sent off the first item for the Accessory Circle today. If you're not already involved and would like to join in just send me an email. To find out more about it click the "Accessory Circle" label in the sidebar on the right!
Yet another footnote: Apologies, I am somewhat retarded when it comes to Blogger (being new and all) and so I couldn't figure out how to stop the indenting quote!!

I'm more intrigued than I was when I started reading your blog yesterday - I can't wait to find out these secrets (and to share more of mine!). You write with such poise, I love it!
Oooh, poise? Do you think? I actually thought I was really lazt towards the end!! I felt bad for posting shoddy work (well, most of it's shoddy but I love it!). I think it's the elegant colours of my background that make my writing seem better! xx
How about an accessory circle for 36 year old males!! Don't leave us (me) out-
Oh! Oh! I bet I'm one of the 16 you love dearly!
Me too :)
@ PJ - haha! Well, I'm sure I could think of something (nice leopard print thong for your mid-life crisis??) Although, I actually think that Beans might like something shiny!! x
@ Jess - Woo! you are up there with the 16!! x
Furthermore...I feel the need to point out that the number "16" has now pushed my followers box (over in the side bar) over the edge and there is now a "more" option! Can you believe it? I'm on to a 2nd page of followers?? Can you tell how overly excited I am about this? I shall be excited forever and will not become one of those ellusive bloggers that never comments...I am a comment whore, or gets excited by new people (that sounded wrong haha)! x
Hiya one of the 16 wanting to say I am enjoying reading your blog! Us Brits have to stick together!!!!
two words that will help you keep up on blog updates...
Google. Reader.
@ Leetid - we sure do, the US and Canadian bloggers well out-weigh us! x
@ Matt - Thanks, I have tried Google Reader but we didn't get along! Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance...I might try it again. The other issue is keeping my 2 lots of bookmarked blogs separate - that could be a catastrophe!! Feel like making it 17?? Hehe x
On google reader you can set up loads of different folders so you can keep your blog lists separate. I have about 5 folders on there!!! Also there is a little gadget that you can add to your internet toolbar which takes you from blog to blog without having to read through google reader.
Dear Ms. Keeper,
I believe that the blog you are trying to find is http://thehigh-heeldiaries.blogspot.com/
Cheers,
The Civilian
@ TC - it's Miss (hehe). THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have clicked to follow already you super super person you!!! x
I feel like you just hugged me! Thank you, sweetie for the kind words! I'm really enjoying getting to know you too! :) Cheers, lovely!
Consider yourself hugged Lily!! x
I'd give google another chance if I were you. It's life changing. Also, your lovely!
This couldn't be more suitable, really. It frequently happens to me, even when I think I suscribed at google reader...it sucks...but well...sooner or later, you find them again.
Hahaha i love it that you follow me though :D
ps. I'm upset when I lose track of the blogs I love too.
