At the risk of setting off yet another chorus of chirping crickets, I'm going to open up the blog to reader requests. Now's your chance to direct the blog and tell me what to write, or to just spice things up around here and ask me about things that are interesting to you.
Of course, I reserve the right to limit my responses to things that are also interesting to me, because what fun would it be to watch me ramble about things I neither know nor care about? I also reserve the right to ignore embarrassing, too personal, or just plain hostile questions. Not that I expect any of those, you lot coming across as reasonable and reasonably cool so far, but I'm covering my bases.
So go on. Ask me something. Suggest a topic. Pretend this is your blog and I'm your dancing monkey. And if you lurk here, feel free to use this as a de-lurking thread and just say hello. You don't have to ask or suggest anything, just introduce yourself. I know it's crazy, but I actually appreciate knowing who's reading this blog.

I read, I read! Sometimes your daily thoughts are what I need to brighten my mood between classes after dealing with some of my students' freshmen shenanigans.
I like to hear TV talk (can't wait for Heroes next week!), any Spuffy comic thoughts (on this tedious once a month basis), married life (as I'm a newly wed myself), work stuff, etc. I'm not real picky, just nosy.
But not picky nosy, 'cause that's just gross.
I'm a faithful reader. I'm a lazy commenter because the word verification thingy is devious and outfoxes my poor mental capacities.
I enjoy the randomness and variety of your blog. You write about writers (Butcher, Martin, Whedon), books (I just picked up the latest Dresden Files!), movies, television (we share love of Buffy), your spouse, family, work, and life in general. I appreciate links to interesting tidbits of news or your thoughts of the day.
(Couldn't post the first time because "Enter the letters as they are shown in the image." I'm hopeless!)
Oh, and if a monkey is involved, definitely count me in. I love monkeys!
Valerie - I'm a newly wed myself
Congrats! I didn't know that. Married life hasn't been giving me much material to work with lately. Everything has been pretty great, and there are few things more dull to write or read about than happiness.
But TV talk, I can do.
Bojo - man, the verification thing is still throwing you? I admit, I kinda hate that thing too when I'm commenting in other Blogger blogs (it doesn't make you enter it for your own blog), but before I turned it on it was getting to be Spam City in here.
Monkeys are comedy gold. Who doesn't love monkeys? Alas, the only monkey around here is yours truly, and I'm much less funny than the real thing. Although there is a lot of comedy that can be derived from watching me dance.
Hee, dancing monkeys. That sounds like a HK martial arts movie.
I like it when you do stuff like this - asking for interaction. Squeeing about TV or books, chatting about the trauma that is "living with a boy", even the pictures of hotties. Anything to start a dialogue.
I just love ya awful, ya know?
I'm feeling the love here, y'all, and it's wonderful, but my idea well is still dry. I'm glad you've enjoyed what I've written in the past, but how's about a little help coming up with something to write about in the future? "More of the same, keep up the good work" isn't really jogging loose my imagination.
That being said, I love all youse guys, too.
Talk about how Lorelei told Logan to grow up and how I don't like Rory taking this fellowship gamble and how if they don't fix GG soon, this potential last season could be one of its worst.
That is, if you're obsessed with GG like I am.
Yeah, newlywed as of Sept. 30, 2006. Hence the whole, leave Ohio, move to Texas thing.
Hey, you got married three weeks to the day after I did. Cool.
I haven't seen this week's GG yet. I might try to squeeze it in tonight, but if not it'll probably have to wait for the weekend. As you can see, it's lost the urgency for me that it once held.
Please write about trolls...the creepy plastic kind with rainbow hair that stare at you with sadistic grins. (shudder) And about how we can conquer these creatures.
(inspired by a close encounter with a troll kind today...)
