September 19, 2010 By pia

I took off that stupid “followers” thing because I would rather not be published then resort to such things.  I hope my writing speaks for itself.

I’m not the begging type.  So I’m leaving the “follow this blog” up for a week if I can stand it.  Please do if you like Courting

OK I can’t stand this.  I feel that I paid my blogging dues and paid and paid and paid!  I have always felt that personal blogs should come with an expiration date.  But when you have a product to push, you need to show that you’re part of a social network–like the two thousand blog posts, articles and even text books that mentioned Courting don’t count–in the frigging past

If you appreciate Courting because it might be a better written than the usual blog; because I don’t try to entertain you with cloying cute cleverness; because I only post when I have something to say; (OK that last one is a lie in the Christine O’Donnell school of truth);  because damn it! I’m a good person who spent too much time blogging about politics and blogging without asking for money, donations, whatever.  Because I don’t usually ask you to follow me on Facebook or Twitter, because___fill in the reason.

My future might depend on it!   Apparently it’s not about the writing but the number of followers.  And yes I hate that!!!!!

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
