Oh, the lurker--someone who reads silently and goes on about their way, with only the trace of a hit on our stats that they have been there at all. I'll let you in on a little not-so-secret secret--you are the majority of my readership.
I am grateful and still surprised that so many of you come here. Being the curious creature that I am, I wonder what brings you here, who you are, what you have to say...
I am constantly amazed by how many of you silently grace the pages of this blog. Given that I really never thought anyone at all would read here, it's quite an honor to know that you do, even if you are quiet.
Here I share my mind, my thoughts, the random insanities that pop into my head. And, much to my surprised delight, you read them!
Would you be so kind as to leave me a word? Perhaps why you're here, a bit about yourself, or even just hello...I won't bite. Promise--its actually a rule.
If you've ever wanted to say anything to me, or leave a hello on this blog, today would be the perfect day to do so! I tell you my secrets, won't you give me a word?
And just to get everybody going this morning...

Deletealways nice to see you stop by!
I'm not a lurker at all, but HI anyway! I love your little critter there. Time for more coffee?
ReplyDeleteksst,
DeleteAh well, it's as good of a day as any to say hello!
Oh yes, definitely time for more coffee. Maybe skip on the redbull though...
Hello from a Lurker!
ReplyDeleteAnon,
Deletethanks for saying hello!
Yeah, mouse is more of lurker these days everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHug
mouse,
Deletebeen doing quite a lot of that myself these days.
Always nice to see you though!
Hi..I am one of those...read here regularly, do not usually comment...
ReplyDeletehugs abby
abby,
DeleteYour comments are always appreciated, regardless of their rarity!
Lil,
ReplyDeleteHappy LOL Day!
Considering I am devoid of intelligent thought these days, I'm definitely lurking more often than not ;-)
Bleuame,
Deletelol--I think that you're probably not giving yourself enough credit!
I love that you visit here. Even when it is quietly.
Well, I'm not much of a lurker here, but what kind of non-lurker would I be if I didn't comment on this post? :)
ReplyDeleteThat picture is hilarious!
Misty,
Deletelurking is an art which I have apparently been working on...
It's an awesomely crazy little critter, isn't it?
Hi Lil,
ReplyDeleteI guess I have moved from a lurker to a commentator on your wonderful blog. Have a wonderful LOL day
Downunder Don,
DeleteI appreciate that you have given up lurking!
Thank you.
You know me, but I still had to stop by. Love the pic.
ReplyDeletesunnygirl,
Deletethanks for saying hi!
I am both, sometimes lurker.... Sometimes commenter!
ReplyDeleteI love your writing!
Minelle,
Deletea multitasker! Thank you--I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings.
I guess I'm a true lurker here - Sunny suggested your site to me when she and I got together and I often come by and seldom speak. I'll try to do better.
ReplyDeletePK,
Deletenice to see you! Sunnygirl's about as sweet as they get...
This isn't a LOL thing, just a big ol' high five on that pic!
ReplyDelete*like* :-)
Jz,
Deletetotally awesome, right? We used to have a dog that looked a bit like that in the eyes...She used to sit by the bed and stare at me in the morning when she wanted to go out...
Happy LOL lil ... I have missed reading your blog (I have become lax!)
ReplyDeletegeekie kittie,
Deletewell, it's just the usual insanity around here anyways!
Happy LOL Day!
ReplyDeletehugs,

SirQsmlb,
DeleteGood to see you! Thank you. Hope things are going well with you.
Happy LOL Day Lil! We've visited your blog a few times, although it has been awhile. The post you wrote about advice to beginners is still one of the best we've seen in blogland on the topic to date. Thanks for participating in LOL Day this year!

Clint and Chelsea,
DeleteI appreciate your stopping by. And thank you for your thoughts on the beginners post--it's always nice when a post with so much thought put into it is found to be beneficial!
Hello Lil,
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy your writing, it let's myself know that we all have our relationship struggles. Yet we know that the struggles are worth it in the end. It may not be perfect, but its our kinda perfect and that is what matters.
Thank you for sharing with us all.
Kat
Kat,
Deletethank you for commenting!
Struggle is a large part of life--reflecting on those struggles helps me cope with them.
I think I've commented a few times, here and there. I love coming here to read and muse. I'm honestly sad when I don't see a daily post by you (or mostly mouse for that matter). And when y'all go quiet for a long time...well I get a little stir crazy.
ReplyDeleteThese days I'm essentially getting my D/s fix from fellow bloggers. So please, keep writing often. And I'll try to comment a little more regularly. Deal? Lol
~JAS
JAS,
Deleteaww, you are too kind. I'll take the deal, though I might break it pretty quickly, lol.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the blog.
Happy LoL Day Lil! I always enjoy visiting and love your writing. Your posts always give me food for thought in my relationship.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Roz
Thank you, Roz! You're so sweet, I'm always happy to see that you have visited.
DeleteHappy LOL Day! I've been reading here for a while, but I don't think I've ever commented, usually because I tend to be lost in thought after reading.
ReplyDeleteDana,
Deletethanks for the comment! Sorry about that whole thought thing...
Hi Lil,
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog for a long time, I don't think I've ever commented, I generally lurk everywhere.
So why I'm here: I feel comforted by reading about lives of other subs/slaves because I don't talk to anybody who does TTWD. I love your blog, your writing style and your attitude as well as your honesty about your imperfections as a slave/submissive.
So thank you for continuing to post, and I'll try and lurk less! :)
Love,
Kes
Kes,
Deletethank you for de-lurking! I do appreciate it. I like to think that life is no fun without the imperfections, because, yea--got lots of them here. Lol.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Happy lol day! I love visiting and reading your blog! Its always very open and honest. Happy lol day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kenzie. Hope you had a great LOL day!
DeleteHappy lol day! I love reading your blog because you're so honest. You don't just post all the fantasy stuff, you post real life struggles too. It's reassuring to see that I'm not the only one that struggles sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThough I think I've only commented once in the last several years, I always wish you well.

Lyoness,
Deletethank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
And yea, fantasy is great and all, but it does seem to often be incompatible with reality...
Happy LOL Days Lil...have visited a few times but never commented so guess that makes me a lurker. ;) Will try to break that habit and comment in the future. ;)
ReplyDeleteBlessings...
Cat
Cat,
Deletethanks for breaking your silence. Feel free to make it a habit!
Hello Lil,
ReplyDeleteI'm actually here because you were the first person to ever comment on any of my posts. I was so excited!! So I clicked on your name and became fascinated by you. The things you post make me feel like I'm not alone. I truly appreciate you and your honesty.
Thank you so much!
-Marie
Marie,
DeleteI'm honored to have beaten everyone else to that first comment!
It is a good feeling, yes? To know one is not alone. One of the most lovely things about Blogland...
Happy LOL Day. I'm more of a lurker here but do follow.

Janey,
Deletethanks for saying hi!
Reading all the blogs often help me through the trials and tribulations and good times. Thank you. Jackie was here. :-)
ReplyDeleteJackie,
DeleteHelps me too. I never would have guessed that I would get so much from this place.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Not really a lurker, but don't comment as often as i read, and think this is a great opportunity to tell you i love your blog. Thanks for being here.
ReplyDeleteSofia,
DeleteAww, thank you for being here too and being so kind! I do visit your corner, but Wordpress has it out for me, so I'm a total lurker these days.
Definitely a lurker here, although we have exchanged few emails and i have dropped few comments here and there. Two reasons for that: 1-i can't figure out how to manage 2 Google identities and contribute to your blog under inked peonies, 2-it is a humbling learning experience to read from your experience. What makes your perspective special to me is that it goes way beyond sexuality and kinks. It allows me to understand why life has unfolded the way it has for me. Reading you helps me see and accept who i am. Because you write beautifully and poetically, reading you puts beauty and poetry in my heart where in my head there are insecurities and judgment. Thank you. Inked
ReplyDeleteInked,
DeleteWords fail me. Truly. Just...Thank you for these thoughts. From the bottom of my heart.
I can understand the difficulties of juggling Google identities! Especially since Google is such a nosy and sharing entity. I am, however, always delighted when you choose to peek in and share your thoughts.
