Hello Out There
This is the week you've been waiting for! Or not! De-lurking week! Last year we just had a measly 24 hours, and if you were stuck in a meeting, or your server crashed, or you live on the other side of the world, you missed it (booo). Plus your fingers may have become numb from all the typing you tried to cram in 24 hours. So this year we're giving you a whole week to come out of the closet (so to speak).
Many of you made resolutions last week to lose weight, or quit smoking, or stop beating your children (oops, maybe that was just me), and I just read a Psychology Today article which notes a direct correlation between weight loss, and commenting on your favorite blogs, so leave a comment because it will make you skinny. Not that you're fat, because you're not!! So tell me how long you've been reading my blog, or your favorite book, or the first word that pops into your mind when you hear the word shish-kabob, and remember, if you don't leave a comment, you're letting the terrorists win.
If you click on the extended entry, there are a bunch of buttons you can right-click-and-save, and upload on your site, and all your readers will see the button, and be compelled to say something! Okay? Okay! Happy commenting!
Coments are now closed.
Buttons from last year (which you can use, and feel good about, because you recycled)!
Buttons I made this year (unfortunately, the images I wanted to use were trapped, because i-stock was down when I was in button-making mode).
A button from the lovely Angela,
and a couple from the talented Jen.
ETA: Here's another button from Chatty,
and one from Bev.
If you want me to post one of your buttons, email me at papernapkin {at} gmail {dot} com, and I'll stick it up here.
Email me!
woot! delurking ahoy!

Hello again! So glad to participate again this year. I must admit I participated last year but it took me longer than one day to comment everywhere. So see? I'm ahead of my time.
Great job on the buttons.

Would you believe me if I said my favorite book was Moby Dick? I hope not, because I'd definitely be lying; that book is the most boring thing I've ever tried to read. I tip my hat to anyone who can actually get through it, let alone like it.
Happy De-Lurking Week!

Yo! I used to comment more here...So I'll de-lurk and try to get back to it again.

My favorite book is Infinite Jest. You are such a goof. Thanks for making me laugh every day. Please, more drunk blogging, that was a scream.
