How Do You Spell "Narcissism"?

It's weird to link to a post that links to me, right? I don't care. Deal with it.

God bless, Adam Frayle and his British boost of my confidence! (http://af1blog.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/youve-gotta-laugh/)

Wow. Cool, huh?

Now I'll admit, I never tire of you all telling me you like this blog, or that I make you laugh. (Seriously. NEVER tire of it. Don't stop. Why aren't you complimenting me right now?!) But, a complete stranger? Devoting an entire post to liking my blog?

Some call it Stalking. I call it Love.

And he's from the UK. He spells "humour" with an "ou"! I'm totally building bridges. I'm my own little World Peace ambassador. Shut up that we're already peaceful with the UK. (I can't hear you! lalalalalalalala!) I'm saving the world. One blog post at a time.

Sadly, Adam got in touch with me to tell me that, no matter how he tried, he could never comment on my blog. Oh, the horror! Someone wants to say something nice to me and I'm missing it?! This must be rectified. If any of the rest of you, dear readers, are having the same problem, I. am. so. sorry. As, my first act of diplomatic importance, I shall try to get this fixed post-haste. (That sounds like the fancy-talk an ambassador would use, right?)

I hope this doesn't create an international incident. The pressure. You know? It is true what they say: With great power comes great responsibility. I wonder how Oprah handles it?

You should probably call her to see how she does it all. I mean, I heard all you big celebrities are friends once you make it big time :) She would definitely take your call.
Congrats on the shout out! Like you said, always nice to know that you are stalk worthy :)

I mention this only for what it's worth, in case it helps to troubleshoot the commenting issue. As very cool as your new comments section that you installed a few months ago is, it may be a part of the trouble. I notice that sometimes when I try to post a comment using IE, it gives me a javascript error, but it always works just fine from Firefox. Obviously, that's not the case for everybody, or your blog would never have any comments on it, but it's something I noticed. If it helps, I can forward details of the error next time I see it, you international supah-stah.

i KNOW. i'm suspicious of this commenting system, too. but, when it works, it's so great! people can know that i'm actually responding to what they said - instead of having to come back and try to remember where they commented and look for my response.

as of late, Intense Debate has been really good with their customer service and handling my issues (YOUR comments not showing was one of them). so, yes, please send me the error next time you get it. maybe ID can do something about it.

supah-stah, out!

Your blog is hands down one of my favorites. I wish we were neighbors.....and I have probably already mentioned that. I'll get some of my Japanese friends to follow you here so you can become even more worldly. Yay.

Hi Ami. I think I might have figured out the problem with the comments and it IS (sort of) probably due to the comment system you're using (intensedebate)...

When using the latest Internet Explorer you HAVE to engage the "compatibility view" even though Explorer doesn't recognise the fact but claims it will (if you see what I mean). Unfortunately, that will apply to all blogspot sites I think, but I don't suppose that will matter.

For anyone who doesn't know, the compatibility settings control is on the "Tools" drop down menu...

Another great post and thank you for all the kind words, though I'm not quite sure I appreciate the label "stalker" LOL

ok, adam. first of all, you are not NEARLY so "old as Methuselah" as you claim if you can figure all of THAT out. i'm going to report that to Intense Debate and maybe they can fix that problem. in the meantime, i'm so glad you can comment!

next, my name is ALI with an "L" not ami with an "M." but, don't worry. i don't take any of your compliments any less lightly. ;) for that matter, you've been so nice to me, i give you permission to call me ami from here on out! :D

finally, i said "SOME" call it stalking... not me!

thanks again for all the kind words - and THANKS for figuring out the commenting glitch!

Well thank you ALI - and I'm so sorry - I have no idea where the "Ami" came from... See? I told you I'm pushing Methuselah for his title LOL.

wiki.answers.com says "The word Ami is a complicated yet meaningful word..... Many different cultures have different meanings for this word. Although the most common definition is worship time."

fine... worship me, if you must. ;)
