Too much time on thy hands....

*UPDATE: At this time, I have 42 comments to LT's 61.

I am gaining ground on you LT.

A big thanks to all of the COM Class of 2012 who are not readers but are leaving comments to boost my numbers. Keep them coming.*


I have started stalking people's blogs who stalk my blog. I mean, those of STRANGERS.

I got a comment from someone I do not know, and now I just spent 30 minutes reading her blog. She seems pretty cool and interesting actually. I do not know where she lives though. Hmmmm....

So because I have become so engrossed with this reader that is a stranger to me, I decided I am going to totally copy LT's idea and ask everyone who reads this blog to leave a comment. I know if every blogger starts doing this, it will probably become annoying, but now it's like an obsession, I would just really like to have an idea of who is actually reading this. Especially if my boss is so I can make sure not to spill any Top ITT Secrets.

SO, please be sure to leave a comment even if you typically don't. You can even just write "present" like it's roll call in elementary school.

And I have also decided that I need to get more than 52 people to leave a comment so that I can totally beat LT. You're going down, friend! I will not rest until I have at least 54 comments so please bring it on.

Nate Ray said...

how could someone not read the blog of someone named Tricia Hopper Butts? I mean, "Hopper-Butts!" That name's incredible.

ps - I will be gathering some info about church planting, but as far as the actual cool looking slides, I do not think i have those. but I will look. you should send me an email to remind me.

Before I started reading your blog, I was as a lost sheep, wandering frightened and alone through the mirky depths of chaos and dispair.

Only now do I feel whole again.

LT (and Max) said...

1. you are SUCH a cheater. i'm going to get call dad and get everyone of the bank employees to start leaving me comments. you're totally breaking the rules.
2. oh...and you better check again. i don't have 61 comments.
3. and the comments i've left don't count. technically you only have 45 comments now.

ugh.

Chelle said...

I must admit that I visit, found you on LT's blog, but in all fairness I can't go without posting and giving you one more vote. After all, I gave her one so fair is fair!

I guess I don't get the whole "blog thing," but this still counts as one so...

Hope you win something...
