When real things happen to imaginary people

Tho' I will admit I'd been thinking of doing something like this for a while now. But seeing Peg's post actually motivated me to do it.

Lurkers out there, yo, today's your day. Whether you're a LJ-lurker or from someplace outside reading this journal, you are the reason this journal isn't locked by default. So, come out and say 'hi' or something. Tell me what you're doing here, how you feel, who you are, whatever. Today's the day to seize and be un-shy for once.

AND tell if you are a regular reader of this journal or just like to drop in when I'm being snarky or whatever. You can tell me what you like and what you don't like about it. It's okay; I'd like to know, and I have pretty thick skin. Well, usually.

Or just drop in to say hi... because it would be nice to know if there's more than the same 8 or 10 people that gets good use out of this journal, you know what I mean?

So, yeah. Speak up. Who are all you people?

(Disclaimer: I may not almost certainly won't have the time to answer every comment posted, and I do indeed, as always, reserve the right to delete any comments that I think are out of line. But still, I'm curious about who really does read my burblings.)
