Make no mistake ...Oh no, I'm dead opinionated. Make no mistake about that. And I think some people talk complete crap and I feel the need to express this. But THE THING IS that you only read what people are talking about at that moment. It doesn't mean they talk about it/tell others they're talking crap 24 hours a day. If I had wrote a bit of something somewhere, that you might consider caustic or ranty or whatever, that's the only bit you see of me that day. The rest of the day I was probably being completely agreeable. Being completely agreeable doesn't mean I don't think the same about stuff, though, in general. Furthermore, (that's a stroppy word, isn't it?) I don't deliberately portray myself in any particular way - other than to tone down some of what I think to socially acceptable standards before writing it.

See - that is exactly the impression I get of you - that you are NOT as caustic and opinionated as you portray yourself - because in comments and asides,(and the odd DM) you reveal, maybe uncosciously, the other side to your personaLITY, As do we all.

So my blog remains awardless, alas. <br /><br />It's probably not as good as your anyway. Oh well. <br /><br />(ps, how do you know my blogs give an exact impression of me if you don't know me in RL? People who 'meet' me online then in real life usually note that I am less caustic in RL, and do not shout my mouth off at all. Rather the opposite. I still swear a bit, though. And refer to stupid people as complete twats).<br /><br />Seriously, though, I think that often happens. Some people are much 'louder' on paper than in RL. Maybe it's like comdedians being grumpy so-and-sos to live with, or hairdressers not having time to cut their family's hair, I dunno.Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-8142893035020868802012-11-25T11:26:52.273-08:002012-11-25T11:26:52.273-08:00Yaay, my 3 fave A-Mericans have now piled into my ...Yaay, my 3 fave A-Mericans have now piled into my blog,and shared their dime's worth, such an honor (note, I do your spelling to make you feel at home).Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-52181543736798122622012-11-25T11:01:24.926-08:002012-11-25T11:01:24.926-08:00Carol, congrats!

Fundamentally, it's about being entertained so my reading through a lengthy piece which offers nothing more than "me and the cat shared a biscuit" ( read that with the voice of Gary Barlow in your head...WAKE UP! )... doesn't quite do it for me. Oh and Pink Sofas littered with biscuit crumbs, discarded blog awards and used tissues stuffed down the back..is a tad off putting too!....( *mumbles*...by the way...congrats dude...blog on!..)Lynn Gerrardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061020895933480996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-21877018757124604692012-11-25T03:30:50.481-08:002012-11-25T03:30:50.481-08:00Congratulations! :)Congratulations! :)Ida https://www.blogger.com/profile/11147292645496131773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-10805029201159330702012-11-24T12:57:30.587-08:002012-11-24T12:57:30.587-08:00I did?

You suggested it, not moi!!!<br /><br />I only started blogging as a sort of mucking about thing, I'm not serious about it at all, but I get a lot of views, too. I read yours because they're interesting and entertaining to read. End of. I guess that's why the people who read mine do so, too. My biggest number of views on one post is 998, for my Twitter Tips for Beginners, but usually they're anywhere between 50 and 300. <br /><br />A couple of people have said 'love your blog. I'll try a book', but I am, on the whole, sceptical about this 'blogging leads to book sales' thing.<br /><br />I think it's the subject that makes me look at a blog post. And how it's tweeted, of course. For that is where most of our views come from, innit.<br /><br />Now I must go and see if there is any ice cream left. :)<br /> <br />Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-83382496023638648612012-11-24T09:39:39.188-08:002012-11-24T09:39:39.188-08:00Thank you so much *blushes* I don't know what ...Thank you so much *blushes* I don't know what makes people visit blogs either but I know that being onTwitter helps.
