Easter eggs

Apparently my little April Fools joke was pretty effective. Not just the joke itself, mind you, but it's echo. Look back at my supposed Twitter stream. You'll find stuff that's not quite right. (Hint: times and links.)

This brings me to what I would say is my modus operandi in regards to LJ posting and some comments. In a fair amount of my posts I shovel in a lot of hidden information. I will often incorporate a memorable sentence from one of my friends list entries. The alt text of pictures or the mouseover text of links will often convey unusual commentary. Sometimes I will make a post partially or completely in someone else's style. Many people I read here are often very pro- or anti-something. If they are having problems that I can be of help with (say, a person who hates Macs is having problems with their Windows PC), I will offer my advice salted with a little humourous dig at their beloved or a sympathetic jab in the direction of their dislike. This latter bit is something I do very rarely, and if I sense it's being taken wrong (teh intarweb is srs bsns!) I will cease.

There are other little idiosyncrasies to be found here and there, but I will let the reader find them if and when they happen. Or don't, for that matter. I have a feeling a lot of them are ignored or fly over people's heads who might not have all the info to be in on the humor. In the meantime, I will keep things going here at Mayhem Central pretty much as they have been for nearly six years. How time flies.

Now off with Kodi to the vet. He hates this with a passion.

I often wonder what I am doing with this blog thingie. These days it is mostly a placeholder for me to interact with others on my friends list. I dont see myself as any sort of 'blogger' in the grand sense, nor could I even approach the level of, say, Joe.My.God. I guess this is more of just my tiny window on the world where I can spout my nonsense, talk about things that matter to me and people I am close to. Still, I often get those spells where I think, "Why am I doing this?".

Welcome to one of those spells.

I already went through that pointless exercise of deleting my journal a couple years ago. That was foolish, and would be still. Perhaps I will find my voice here some day, Or I might already 'have it', it's just that I cannot see it. There must be something going on, however. I checked my 'friends list' for the first time in quite a while, expecting to see some departures. On the contrary, a few new faces have shown up, so there must be a reason. Genuine interest? Schadenfreude? Comic relief? Kindred spirit? Therein lies the conundrum. My activity on these pages must pique people's interest, the question being, what exactly? I have a lot of readers, yet by comparison, not much commentary.

So, I put it out to my readership. What brings you to my outpost in cyberspace? I like to think a crowd gathers for a good performance, then again, crowds gather at trainwrecks as well. Please, leave a comment, and be honest. Especially if you are new, or don't usually comment here. I'm very curious.
