I'm Julie, and I'm an Attention Whore

All together now....

Hi Julie!

Thanks for that nice welcome.

So here's the thing. I have 195 followers.

I want to break 200.

It's a personal goal. I never dreamed I have more than about 5 followers when I started this blog, and now I'm becoming obsessed with my own popularity.

(I say that totally tongue in cheek because if you recall correctly, my dysfunctional date a couple of months ago informed me that I was "all caught up in my own celebrity". Celebrity? Dude, I write a blog. I'm not exactly on the cover of the National Enquirer. (Yet) But now that he brought my attention to my attention whorishness, I feel I have to maintain my reputation!)

So, who do I have to sleep with to get more followers to send me over the edge? (Baggy, put your hand down. It was a sarcastic question, not an actual offer.) Wait...I mean over my goal. God knows I'm already dangling on the edge of sanity.

I know what I'll do.

I'll have a giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Can I mail myself off to one of you?)

Bring me total strangers kicking and screaming if necessary willing followers, and whoever sends the most people my way gets a very special gift from me. Have your peeps leave me a comment telling me who sent them, and on Friday I'll announce the winner!!!!

C'mon. This will be fun. I'll make it a really nice gift too. I know how to shop OFF of Ebay too you know!

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is a prize you will not want to miss.

The contest starts...NOW.

You crack me up - I think we're related somehow. I know I won't be able to win the contest, but I'm proud to be a part of the "elite under 200!"

Bagman's engine was already started.

LMAO my followers already follow you!

Debz said...

You already have all my people - lol.
But I would follow you to the ends of the earth, or over the edge, wherever you might take me. I love you that much.

I'd like to think I'm early on in the 'follower's' list too. At least top 100 - lol!

Julie, I've been a lurker for a while. You probably have way more than 195 followers - just that some are too shy to comment. Great blog!

Oh your going to break 200 EASY!

Mindy said...

I had to laugh too, because my "3" came from you, I think!

I wish I could enter this contest but I can't wait to see you go over the edge. Good luck!!!

Okay, this is way too unfair considering that I have 1500 Twitter followers. What if I get you followers on Twitter? Does that count?

Elisa said...

I'm a follower! I have you on my igoggle so I can see day to day what you are up to. Good luck!

Violet said...

I was anonymous - but I just went public!

I have 6 followers...guess I really need to ratchet up the whoring, huh??

Jennifer Suarez said...

Don't forget, you technically have more followers that your little list shows. There's also people like me that read through a reader and don't have a blogger account.

ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T COUNT?!!?!!!

Mindy said...

You hit it, baby!

Congratulations!

Oh, you f%*@ing b!#*h!

Two hundred followers??? I can barely muster up 35 and now I haven't even appeared on anyone's reading list for the past four weeks! In the words of Nancy Kerrigan, "Why? WHY?"

I think you should be giving something out to those of us in the first hundred...

PS...send me some followers, I am obsessed as well!

Gertrude Groggins - said...

Well, I think you gave me all my peeps, so I'm not sure I'll be a help...

travel girl said...

Don't think I can be of service. I only have 4 followers:(

Meg said...

I'm soliciting followers for you over at my place!

Mommy Peachee said...

I came from Meg's place. She definitely deserves the prize. Love your blog so far.
