Blurker: {BLRR-krr} noun: one who regularly reads blogs of others without making oneself known to the blog author. See also: sidetracked bloggers, aaron and meg's invisible fanclub, people who can't live without me, "anonymous said...", everyone i go to church with, and people who consider themselves not funny enough to come up with witty comment for my very witty posts.
It's ok, step 1 is admitting you might have a problem. I too was once a blurker until I started my own blog. After that it seemed like every conversation I had with anyone included the words, "i was reading your blog...", or "oh yeah, i read about that on your blog", or "everyone at my office reads your blog" or "my sister in japan reads your blog"...you get the idea. After that i vowed to show myself to all blogs i read (yes, even I don't know the person. Let's face it, blogger. com has provided everyone in America with access to their very own stalkers)
So as a tribute to our many friends, family, enemies, fans, potential stalkers, and everyone else who might be reading Aaron and Meg's Blog...I hereby dedicate today as Blurkers Day!
Seriously...who actually does read our blog? How did you find us? Do I know you or are you just an adoring fan of our commentary on the bizarro things that happen to us from day to day? Are we related? Do we know the same people? Were we friends long ago? Do you want to be our friends? Do you babysit? Blurkers, show yourselves so the rest our readers can blurk on your blog as well...who knows what we might be missing! (I leave comments.)

Meg, I don't comment every time I read your blog, but I am: a fellow blogger, a stalker, a babysitter and someone who likes to hang out with you. I love being a blurker. I constantly get sidetracked reading blogs that you and others have links to on their blogs. It's such a great time wasting activity, and let's you see other sides to people you thought you knew!
Meg. you know I've been stalking you for quite some time now, and I'm not ashamed.
I love the idea of blurkers day, and might have to have one of my own. Nothing is worse than pouring your heart out in cyberspace for the whole wide world to see and then have it say "0 comments." Devastating.
Come on fellow meg fans, show yourselves, don't be shy.
You got me pegged! Wait a minute! You knew I was a fan, right? Okay, so you do now if you didn't.
Bust seriously, I get such a kick from your blog that a lot of times I like to just kick back and enjoy.
Guilty. I read you blog and post printouts above the urinals at school.
I spy.
I love your blog! And I DO know you... I am Shelly's friend Missie. Do you remember me???
Thanks for making me laugh and remind me never to come to your house... I don't want to run the rick of your locust swallowing one of my children. lol
BTW did you get your words up in your kitchen? I want to see pictures!
Hugs!
Missie
