Insert tongue in cheek

I was going to write about March's lion and the lamb theory but instead I decided to make a little observation on the blog world. I'm very new to this and I don't know much about anything. Hell there are very few people that even know about me and my new little home here in Bluedom so I feel pretty safe in letting these thoughts flow freely.

Much like real life, this magical world is made up of a variety of players.

The Ultimate A List
Here you will find actual real life celebrities.
Right alongside are the legendary players. Everywhere you go people make mention to them like they are the almighty, powerful leaders.
People who have brought home the bacon with their writing. They are the naturals.
People who have blogs that have won awards of excellence. Your peers love you. I'm not familiar with the awards but I know they exist and I'm sure I'll eventually find you.
People who can be so thought provoking as to inspire half the blog community to run back to their own place and vent. Their words, love 'em or hate 'em, are creating a buzz.
And of course, the It Girls. They are witty and smart. Oh yes, these sassy girls are the real deal.
Many found within this list overlap definition. The A List people have a die-hard fan base that leave comments like they are going out of style.
(*Examples provided are only a few of many. They were added to reflect admiration.)

Respectable B List
These are people who have been around for a while. They are comfortable with what they write and have a loyal circle of friends here. You'll see their name on many a blogroll. If you consistently have double-digit comments on your blog, you are on the highly respected B List. This is where I aspire to be.

Average C List
The C List is made up of the newbies. They are still trying to find their voice and let it be heard. This is the list that I hope I'm currently on.

The Dreaded Downright Dirty D List
These are the crazy stalkers. They hang off the A Lists every word checking thirty times a day to see if they have a new post yet and what comments have been made. They dream about things to write but their posts rarely come out the way they were intended. They always use alliteration, repeating the same words and have a fondness for adjectives. Not an original idea in their bones, it is a given that their grammar and spelling is nasty. I have not found any bloggers that fall onto the D List and don't imagine that they are out there. It is likely just my all time consuming Greatest Fear that this is how others view me.

So now, think about your heart's desire.

Stare deeply into these stars and make a wish...


If you leave five comments on a variety of blogs within the next hour, you will find happiness.

If you add five people to your blogroll, you will be blessed with many friends.

If you leave five comments in blogworld and add five people to your blogroll, your wish will come true.


Wink, wink... Happy April Fools Day!
