Right!
Lately the SpeckBlog readership has jumped. Who knows why? Maybe it’s because all of you regulars, who are supremely cool, put me on your Blogrolls. Maybe it’s because I’ve been using X-rated terms more often.
Whatever the reason, I’d love to hear more from our regulars, and I’d love to give the lurkers an excuse to jump into the open. Also, because I am a crack-whore for your comments, Fabulous Readers. Crack. Whore.
I’m stealing this from Shai and linking through Cottontimer. Visit both of them as soon as you can.
You see, I’m curious. I want to know if the people who find this blog are mostly males or females…. Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s? (I know a few readers are teens, so don’t be afraid to speak up too!) What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? How did you find this blog? How often do you come to visit? What topics interest you the most?
If you humour me and tell me all about you, I promise to do these things:
1) I’ll visit your blog. If you have one, that is. And, if you leave the link when you comment here.
2) I’ll leave a comment or two in your blog. Maybe more, if you convert me as a regular reader.
3) I’ll tell you at least ONE thing that I like about you/your blog. I might even write all about you!
It’s a “meet the public” kind of day at SpeckBlog. The kind where we all hold hands and sing Kum Ba Ya while roast wieners over a roaring fire. (Note strategic use of the word “wieners” for search engine tagging).
So leave me a comment, whoever you are (family is NOT excused from this exercise I’m looking at you MOM). And have some nachos. What’s a party without nachos?

Of course I blog! www.talesfromthestirrups.blogspot.com (but you knew that already)
I’m sure I found your blog through somenoe else’s blog.

I’m exactly 30.
With my work-life, I’m a writer of website content for colleges/universities (posh markeing firm, yeah)
With my home life, I’m a wifey, and mommy to darling 1-year-old AJ.
You betcha, I blog.
I found you after a nice long debate you had with the folks at MetroDad… remember that one?
I admit, I didn’t visit here every day, but now that you’re on my official list, I will!
Topics, topics…. hmmm… well the adventures of Charlie are a hoot. You are great at expressing the wonderment that is parenthood. And anything, really. My hubby’s a moderate geek so anything I can learn, you know, so he’ll think I GET IT.

You know all this already, but since we’re introducing ourselves…
Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s? (I know a few readers are teens, so don’t be afraid to speak up too!)
Male, early twenties
What do you do with your life?
Waste it away on the internets, mostly, interspersed with bouts of studying Greek or nursing hangovers (logic suggests that I must then also get drunk occasionally, but I don’t recall it so that’s doubtful)
Are you a blogger too?
Kind of testing the water at the moment, haven’t quite made up my mind about it yet. http://www.bistroist.dk/blog/
How did you find this blog?
You told me, silly. Via floor42.com

My RSS-thingy tells me when you have a new post up, on slow days I may drop by anyway just to see if there’s anything happening in the comments.
What topics interest you the most?
I like skeet.

Exactly 35, mother of two, divorced from one husband. Blogging ever since. The rest you know.
Visiting often, as promised earlier.
Enjoying posts about your son and pictures of nachos. Well, write anything, whatever YOU enjoy. Thats your blog! You are the host.

Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?
In my 30s for a few more months.
What do you do with your life?
I’m an accidental SAHM at the moment; when I’m working, I’m usually a proofreader/copy editor. I spend a lot of time geeking out about music, occasionally for pay but mostly as a public service.
Are you a blogger too?
I am!
How did you find this blog?
Through a comment at I think A Little Pregnant?

Most days.

Well, you know I’m a Charlie fan. But honestly? I just love your writing. Even when I don’t know much about the subject, you’re fun to read.

I’m in my 40s.
I’m transitioning out of a career working on Broadway shows into writing full time. I publish under a half a dozen names, in both fiction and non-fiction, including writing four serials in four genres under two names (minimum commitment 8000 words per week) and writing about horse racing and ice hockey for www.femmefan.com.
Yes, I blog. I have the blog where I discuss my writing, Ink in My Coffee (http://inkinmycoffee.blogspot.com)
I also have blogs for two current projects:
The Thirteen Traveling Journals Project
(http://13TravelingJournalsproject.blogspot.com)
and
The Place and Space Journal Project
(http://placespace.blogspot.com).
I found your blog when About Freelance Writing mentioned your entry on peace a few weeks ago, and I visit about once a day — you’re on my links list, so once I update Ink in My Coffee, I go down the list and check in to all the blogs listed there.
Your life is very different from mine, so I’m interested in just about everything you have to say.
Nice to “meet” you.

Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?
So close to 30’s that I’m going to say 20’s to still be young.
What do you do with your life?
I’m still working on that one, but mainly sound engineering.
Are you a blogger too?
Yes. Although I blog using bad photos as I’m far too lazy to write more than a few words.
How did you find this blog?
I’ve known you for must be seven years now, so that’s a silly question.
How often do you come to visit?
Couple of times a week.
What topics interest you the most?
Seeing how Charlie’s doing, but also I really like the way you write.
