readership.

It has come to my attention that my readership on this blog has grown. Do I sound upset about this? Hell no! Slightly stupified? Very much so...

Now originally, the blog was only read by the likes of Lexy and Jimbo. The other day, a random colleage sent me a message on the book of faces, saying my writing was very entertaining. My ego accepted this compliment very humbly and decided that being "humble" is for wussies hence growing to the size of an oversized giant squid (yes, that kinda big- look here). I dreamt of days where I would tople TuckerMax, one of my idols, and become the next top story blog forever!

...

Oh yes, reality. Actually, reality turned out to be far...stranger.

I was out to dinner and a friend's girlfriend, whom I barely see (you know who you are, cookiejar!) seemed to know a lot about my personal life. I'd completely forgotten that she reads my blog. Same with this friend: while we were catching up, he asked to clarify some posts. Now, you might all think this is all well and normal, but some of the stuff that's up here isn't stuff that ever really comes up in everyday chats. So when you haven't seen someone in like 3 months and they ask you about that girl from a trip in a different country over the Indian Ocean, I tend get the look of complete astonishment come over me, before realising that my friends aren't stalkers- they're just cyber-stalk.. I mean, interested in my life.

The most surprising visitor so would have to be this IP that keeps checking everyweek from Sarawak in Malaysia. I have a friend from there, but he resides in Melbourne. I was almost about to confront him about secretly flying back to M'asia every week to be with his closet wife and kids, when that last time I saw him, he mentioned that his MUM reads this blog! He wasn't aware that she keeps checking it!

So Aunty, hello! This post is dedicated to you, my most esoteric reader thus far! Feel free to continue reading. I shall endeavour to make it more...erm. politically correct.

Yeah, but I wouldn't hold your breath over it.
