The term “followers” has a bizarre ring to it, particularly for those of us who live in Texas. Remember that group of “followers” in Waco? Does this mean that I should build a compound and claim a tax exemption?
Followers actually reminds me of that elusive cult-like group call the Travellers. After all, I have an Irish last name now and perhaps we can all learn Shelta together as we caravan from town to town.

But seriously, not to offend my new followers, but isn't following someone kinda like stalking? Will the literary paparazzi come banging on my door demanding more blog entries, stealing photos of me without makeup? Wait... I don't wear makeup, but no one should see me before my first cuppa coffee in the morning.
Hmmm, this being followed is serious business. So if you know a way I can cultivate more followers, drop me a line. And if you are just a lurker, you can comment anonymously.
I think you are more like a guru than a cult leader, Leslie.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and a commentator. I do not have a wagon, unless you count my SUV - which is not Irish, but made in Japan. I am also a traveler, I love to travel to Europe and Asia. I am not a gypsey - but there are times I would like to just roam around. PS - I do not lurk - but sometimes I smurk!
