Since I have an incredibly addictive personality, I will shamelessly admit that blogging has become my new favourite vice! For the last three days (marking the beginning of my blog's conception), I have immersed myself in the blogosphere universe by pimping out my site to an excessive number of blogger networks, downloading ridiculous widgets(ie. statscounter, guestbook, feedburner, blogroll, etc.), rearranging these ridiculous widgets, and obsessively checking my stats so that I can convince myself, that in some small way, it was all worthwhile. That of course, and the fact that I'd probably go into blog withdrawal without that satisfying click of my mouse telling me that yes, people out there in Cyber Space are reading this.

Great post! I must say that I fit 3 of your criteria :-)
I used to have the "Dots" template from blogger. I really liked it, but noticed that it had some errors when scrolling down the page using certain browsers. You too??
Hello from Eric "Speedcat Hollydale"
Blogging is the new crack but it is better to be writing and sharing than drinking, etc.
Love your blog!!
Oh, this is so true with me as well. Are we just freaks? Do we need to check into the nearest 12 step program?
bloggin' IS quite addictive; i have too found this to be the case.
i especially enjoy seeing the responses that are posted by my loyal readers and i enjoy making my rounds to visit the blogs of others...much like i am doing now with your blog.
