I hereby declare today “I Fucking Love My Readers Day” at the Funky Brown Chick dot Blogspot dot Com. I’ve been thinking; it’s been a while* since I took time out to thank each of you, openly and properly, for visiting. So, whether this is your first time here or your 182nd visit, this post is for you. (Psst! … Come closer, my little sweet things … The bloggers listed below are the best kept secrets on the internet. Check ’em out and tell them Stolie sent you. They give great blog!) So, now, let the love juices flow with …
Ol’ Faithful. The ups. The downs. The funny posts. The boring posts. You’re here for it all. And, you’ve been here for quite a while (some for months, others for weeks). Chances are, if you have a blog, I read yours too. Maybe we’ve even met or exchanged personal emails. In any case, I fucking love my regular and semi-regular blogbabes: Andy, Anhoni Patel, AWE, Berry, Carlos, Darwin, Dear Lovey Heart, ET, Goldennib, Guri, Hanuman, Jay, Jay,Jay, Jenn, JohnJEnright, Kristin, Lala, Little a, MamaChristy, Mel Chickk, Mint Chutney, Missbhavens, Mitch, Nics, Raymond, Rcknrobin, Sethro, Sid, Surly Girl and Tonito Bandito.
The Unattainable Ones. Technically, you—fastlad and Santino—aren’t “readers”. I read your blogs; you don’t read mine. I’m still honoring you on my reader appreciation day nontheless. Ahhh … unrequited love.
Commitmentphobes / Secret Lovers. You—my dear, sweet, honey-dipped blogger—like to look, but you don’t touch. You read, but rarely (if ever) comment. You are a lurker. And it’s kind of like, you know, voyeurism. That’s pretty hot. Some of you have been kind and sexy enough to include the Funky Brown Chick dot Blogspot dot Com on your blog’s list of favorite links. I get all warm and fuzzy when people do that!! So, I blow lovely air kisses at each of you: Anonymous Ranting, House of cats, Erigby, The Fake Doctor, Fetch me my axe, Hello Like Before, Less than savoir-faire…, LHC and other Writers, The Movie Review Diary, Poppy Cedes, Storytime, The Write Grrl, and Yaszrants. Maybe one day I could coax you to speak up and leave a comment? Just one comment? Maybe, perhaps, maybe … today?
Anonymous Sex Partners. The young and the blogless—Pegs, Mags, Bro, anonymous (the mouse killer), and Miss Anon. I know 3 of you personally, and I’d like to get the know the other 2 better. Have you thought of setting up Blogger Profiles? (Without the photos, of course.)
All right. That’s enough cyber love juices for the day. (I hope I didn’t forget anyone!!) Whew, I’m pretty tired from whoring myself around with all that “I Fucking Love My Readers” stuff. Soooooo … um … was it good for you?

I loved this photo so much that I had to use it again. :D

My name is Nerd Girl. And I’m a lurker. Really? Am I? Well, now that I’ve been officially de-lurked, not so much!
This love-fest is awesome! I think I need a cigarette . . .
Peace :)
I’m sitting here all satisified and spent. It was good for me. ;)
Mags and Bro: If your reading and you decide to set up a blog – together or separate – I will read. You are super funny chicks and if Stolie likes you so much, you must be something really special. Her taste in men is sometimes questionable (Hee! Hee! Mwah!), but I think she has great taste in her women friends.
I thought that photo look scarily familar (…is scarily a word?) Anyway, thanks for the shout out. I give good blog (shame on you!)
BTW, if this is a way to garner donations…it worked!
I love the photo too. I might nick it off you sometime!
As I’ve said before, keep blogging because you write well and its interesting to read. And thanks for the appreciation:)
MUAH
Hmph. Rckrobin got mentioned TWICE in your list, while the rest of us were acknowledged just once. Not that I was counting or anything.
I need a smoke and some cold pizza.
Thanks for the love girl and back a’cha.
we fucking love you too!
SMOOTCHES!!!
fuckin’ love you right back!
-waves-
thanks for the nudge!
…that photo puts me in mind of people writing “WASH ME!” on dirty windshields. anyway I like to think someone, somehow, waxed him without his noticing.
Much Love to you Stolie!! The only blogger I ever met…
Ah, Stolie baby, you say it so well I don’t need to utter a peep most days. But because I can never keep my mouth shut long enough to remain a honest-to-goodness lurker, you get what you asked for…
Love right back at cha, sweetie pie!
You are the sugar in my coffee and the blueberries in my muffin. Thanks for the giggles, the snickers and the “tell it like it is…” moments I have whenever I swing by your blog for a read.
*AND* you have links to all the other really cool bloggers so it makes it easy to check in on all my favorites in one fell swoop.
MUUUUAHHH!
Love ya more than my luggage (even my makeup bag, gasp!)
P.S. The picture gave me a dejavu moment…then i realize it was because I actually *HAD* seen it before. Silly u!
Right back at ya, sweetie!
Hey, I’m feeling the love and I appreciate you reading me too! I plan on dontating just as soon as I can. My little way of saying, I wish I was living in NY too, or at least able to SEE it sometime in my life!
I also plan on learing how to spell…jeeze!
You’re so sweet Stolie.
And I would love to hear from the young and the blogless. (Especially boy #2).
No day is complete without a dose of Stolie.
Good luv’in always makes me sleepy. I just woke up.
Always entertaining. Always interesting. Always a good read. Thanks.
Nerd Girl: Yay!!! Congrats on your de-lurking!!! :-)
MamaChristy: I’m glad that it was good for you, too. By the way, I told Mags and Bro that you think they should blog. Perhaps they will, perhaps they won’t. I’ve known them both for almost 15 years. And, if I had to guess, I’d say neither will do it. Mags because she’d be afraid that she wouldn’t have anything to say and/or she’d feel to self-conscious and exposed to be so personal in a forum so public. Bro because she’d think it was too much effort … By the way, what’s this about me having questionable tastes in men?? :) Actually, you may be right because I’ve often wondered this about myself: “Do I go after the wrong kind of guys?”
Berry: Yep, it *IS* a familiar photo. And, yep, scarily is a word. :) But, nope, this isn’t a way to garner donations. My first reader appreciation day was back in November 2005, long before the tip jar. I was planning to do another one when I hit my 200th post (I’m in the 180s right now). But, then I got a different idea for the 200th post so I just decided to do the reader appreciate day now. :)
Darwin: Thanks for the compliments! And, yes … nick away, my friend. Nick away. :)
Raymond: Right back at ya hot stuff.
Jay: Okay. Okay. I fixed it. It was an oversight. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve now listed you THREE times and I put your name in bold. :) There! All better now?? ;) By the way, I love your blog so much that I actually read your entire post about your shopping list …
AWE Really? You usually eat cold pizza once the love juice swappin’ deed has been done? I usually roll over and say, “That was yummy! So, when can I have seconds?!” :) Unfortunately, this is usually met with the gentle sound of snoring.
Little A: YAY!!! The fucking love is spreading.
missbhavens: You’re great! :) And, by the way, I just noticed that my love for you all is growing. During the first reader appreciation day, it was “Man, I Love You Guys” but now it’s “I Fucking Love My Readers.” Sheesh, for the next one, I might ask you all to marry me. ;)
belledame222: Woo-hoo!!! Congrats on your de-lurking!!! :) And, no prob about the nudge! I love your blog. :) By the way, if you’re interested, Kristin is hosting a NYC Blogger meetup at The Magician (LES, Rivington & Essex) at 7pm on 3/23. Ditto everyone else in NYC.
Nics: And, you’ll always be my first, sweetie!! *mwah* :)
EddieGrrl: YOU ARE TOO SWEET!!! The sugar in your coffee, the blueberries in your muffin. I love it!! :) And, I’m glad that you like everyone else’s blogs too. I’m not joking when I say that I fucking love you guys; I really do love it that you come here and I love it that you all have great blogs yourselves. And, about the picture, it’s the only one that I’ve ever used twice. It’s special.
Hanuman: KISSES!! :)
Mel Chickk: I swear this wasn’t some bizarre, freakish pledge drive of sorts. I’m honest, on my blog and it real life. If I wanted to do a pledge drive, I would write a post titled “This is A Pledge Drive” and, in it, I would tell you why you should donate. :) And, by the way, if you can’t live in New York, you should visit. I really think that everyone should visit this city at least once in their lives.
Mint Chutney: Thanks!! And, about Boy #2, oh he’s something special. There have been developments; I’ll post about that soon.
JohnJEnright: THANK YOU, MY BUTTERCUP!! :)
goldennib: THANK YOU, MY BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY. :)
How sad is it to be the one showing up late to the love-fest?
Ah, better late…
We fucking love you right back!
Oh I know that. I didn’t mean to suggest you were trying to get donations! :) I just wanted to let you know I planned on it.
I’m a lurker. I’ll admit it.
I read…I giggle…I smile.
:)
Right back at ya! Love reading your blog as well. Thanks for the special mention – always fab to see your name in lights….
Okay, okay, I’ll stop lurking. Hi, Stolie! :D
Me too. Hi!
Sid: It’s NEVER too late to join the love fest!! :)
Mel Chickk: No prob. :)
Stacy: YAY!!! I love de-lurkings!!! :D FunkyBrownChick, spreading giggles and smiles throughout the world … starting with the Canadians first. :)
lala: What a coincidence!! It’s my dream to see my name in lights one day, too!!! Really. I’m not kidding. It is. :)
Poppy Cede: Another de-lurking!!!! YAY!!! :) Glad you’re here.
Katie: Welcome to the blog. Wow! And, thanks for speaking up. You guys are great; we had more than one de-lurking today!!!
Mwah! Enuf said!
Stolie, I will marry you!
If I can move back to MYC! tee hee
(we could make it work, I promise! LOL)
Doh, MYC is NYC! LOL again
here i am! *waves*
sorry i’m late, but thank you for the love…..
Tonito, all we need is a strikingly handsome bisexual man to bridge the gap between us. We could make it work!!! ;)
Kisses right back at ya …
Surly Girl: You sneaked one in there. :) It’s never too late; the lovefest continues on!!!
Champagne wishes and caviar dreams to you! Or maybe just a large 2 topping pizza for $9.99 Blah Blah Blah, space filler, yadda yadda yadda, sweet sweet sweet kisses and fancy things!
Working on my 30 day lurk free coin.
“More touchy, less lurky”
-EEEEEEEEEEEE
YAY!!!!!! I really hoped that you would come out from behind the curtain!!!
Congrats on your de-lurking! :)
By the way, I might use that “more touchy, less lurky” line in a future post. Love it.
Oh dear…there’s late and LATE and never.
Better one than the other.
I fucking love you too.
Thanks, sweetie! :)
