Many, sadly, do not appreciate the wit and charm of these wonderful stories. <br /><br />Don't worry about what others do, be yourself and true to yourself. Write the thoughts that move you, and set them down here that we may rejoin and rejoice with you in them. <br /><br />I came to love all of this material through ditching TV 10 years ago and I've never looked back. Lark Rise, Mothers and Daughters, Cranford, North and South, Everything Austen and Dickens, Upstairs Downstairs, Sharpe, Horatio Hornblower, and the list goes on and I buy them as I can afford them. I have greatly enjoyed Downton Abbey and look forward to the third season. I bought a VPN just so we could get the latest episodes as they are released in Britain. <br /><br />I enjoy your work and look forward to your writing, so do what you do.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564190976010202416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-7172601479643248542012-04-06T10:40:28.600-04:002012-04-06T10:40:28.600-04:00Awww, thank you to all of you for your sweet comme...Awww, thank you to all of you for your sweet comments! You guys--er, ladies--are why I love blogging! It really feels like a warm, close circle of friends. I'm happy right now. :D<br /><br />Vellvin, I don't mind at all if you use my pictures as long as you link back to me!

I always change my mind depending on my mood.<br /><br />But I suppose it speaks volumes that I named my dog Percy. It suits him to a T! He was, obviously, named after Sir Percy Blakeney (Baronet). Somehow we started calling him Perceval P. Pup, too! He has many nicknames. (And sometimes he writes posts for my blog.)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-24501241684000519422012-04-06T00:43:23.115-04:002012-04-06T00:43:23.115-04:00Mr. Darcy or Sir Percy?

Pretty impossible choice but maybe at the moment Sir Percy! <br /><br />You are not the only person who has felt like that who has day dreamed about being one of those 'popular bloggers' I admit I have too. And yes, I am excited when someone follows my blog as well. You aren't the only one. ;)<br /><br />P.s. do you mind if I borrow any of your side bar pictures? I really like them.Vellvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04713442958776943063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-70482003107132676092012-04-05T20:21:20.364-04:002012-04-05T20:21:20.364-04:00Such a charming post, Amy!

I think every blogger wants to feel that people, even a very few, are listening to what we're saying. <br /><br />I'm glad to be your follower, and I look forward to many more of your delightful ramblings. :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-19804516680352381392012-04-05T16:59:56.283-04:002012-04-05T16:59:56.283-04:00I know exactly what you mean! I don't know if...I know exactly what you mean! I don't know if I could say that I struggle with the same thing you do because, right now, my blog is so teeeeeeny tiny compared to yours! You get SO many comments every post and I'm grateful to get... one. LOL!!! When I first started and didn't know if anyone read my blog, the only reason I kept posting things was because I'm a writer and that's how I express myself. If people didn't read it, that was... sort of okay with me, but I wished that they'd at least comment! So when people tell me that they read my blog or someone randomly comments or randomly follows me (thanks, Alexandra!!!), it's really surprising! And yet I still want more. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. (Probably not... lol!)<br /><br />BUT! Please don't stop blogging to try to cure yourself of it. I love reading what you post! : )<br /><br />Eowyn<br /><br />PS: On the Sir Percy vs. Mr. Darcy thing, I'd say Sir Percy. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-89373423521465637042012-04-05T15:31:31.322-04:002012-04-05T15:31:31.322-04:00In Which I Send Much Cyber Hugs Your Way.
I love...In Which I Send Much Cyber Hugs Your Way. <br /><br />I loved this post to itty-bitty-bits. Because I totally agree (Well, except on Darcy vs. Percy. You know my sentiments all too well there :-P No question...). <br /><br />When I started blogging uhhh...three years ago (YIPES) on my very first blog, I had all these great ideas like you said, on being The Great Blogger (never mind the fact that I like to pretend That Blog does not exist any more...). <br /><br />I've come to realize that I like my wee group so much more. I was telling my mom the other night that I feel like my blog circle is just a bunch of friends getting together and talking about random things...such a blessing for this gal whose friends are all long distance ones, and misses that "let's get together and chat" aspect of having friends in the area. :-) <br /><br />And I will admit that when I get Good Comments, I get a warm fuzzy feeling that I must have done something right. :-P <br /><br />But yes. Being yourself is the best thing. I will refrain from the usual "there's only one you"' comments and just say that's a good thing. :-D<br /><br />And happy 100 followers!!!!Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437117457544744702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-27782501500840267992012-04-05T13:05:48.077-04:002012-04-05T13:05:48.077-04:00I know what you mean!

I've felt all kinds of blogging peer pressure, even to look more conservative than I am! But, I hope I'm getting better at letting my true personality shine through my blog. Congratulations on your 100 followers! You do certainly deserve it, and I'm sure you are truly loved by all:-)<br />-LaurenLauren | Chic Éthiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701151067127043769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-45651535857670857002012-04-05T12:35:12.902-04:002012-04-05T12:35:12.902-04:00Heehee... you know of course that when I read this...Heehee... you know of course that when I read this post... I think of a certain character whose initials are E.M. in a novel which we refer to as OAN. <br /><br />Hahaha, when you told me you had 100 followers, I guess my reaction should have been "So what??" XD <br /><br />Am I a friend who helps you tone down your ego? Prooooobably not.<br />Heh, heh, heh. But then, you might not like me as well if I did that. ;-)<br /><br />Desperately wanting to fit in?? Hmm. Maybe in this case you're more like Chrys and I'm more like Cordy. :) <br /><br />I for one think that you seem to have a style all your own, so if you are copying people I guess I don't know who they are. ;-) And I also admire it, although you already knew that and so I probably shouldn't be telling you again. >:D But I like your ramblishness too, because it is sounds like you're actually... talking. <br /><br />Anyway. I need to go do school. But, the stuff you said... didn't exactly surprise me. I guess I do know you pretty well. ;) However, I didn't know that you would have the courage (or boldness?) to actually come right out and say it. :D Which I do admire. Because since you can admit things to yourself and want to change them... well, that's a good trait. :) I don't think I can actually do that... heh. I don't even want to know what my faults are. :P (There, some candidness in return. heehee)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-73205968416401601632012-04-05T12:33:15.691-04:002012-04-05T12:33:15.691-04:00Lovely,, M'dear!

Thank you for such a frank, honest post that I could really relate to :)<br /><br />~AbbyAbbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207373390282056497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-19597191904407851102012-04-05T11:30:35.445-04:002012-04-05T11:30:35.445-04:00Lovely, lovely, lovely.

I'm very new to the blogger world and more than "a little squealy inside" every time I get a new follower. <br /><br />I completely and whole-heartedly agree with your comments on having a gazillion followers. I wouldn't want it either. Just a small corner for smiles, shared interests, and the like.<br /><br />Very inspiring post!<br />~Rose M.Rose M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04282902530719795640noreply@blogger.com
