From Princess to Pauper

Forget sitemeter. If you want to know who is reading your blog posts, all you have to do is say something really outrageous. In order to guarantee results, your attempts at humor while leveling with your audience must fall completely flat.

Back in the day, people would say things to me like "You are neither cute nor funny, young lady!"
Now sometimes I think I can be sarcastic and pull it off. I forget that my readers don't have the benefit of seeing that twinkle in my eye or my smirk. You have been spared from the giggling.

Anyone who has had a semi-lengthy conversation with me over IM knows that half of what I type is smileys. I try to avoid that in my blog. I'm conserving bandwidth.
