This is for you...

Dear "Lay it Out Straight," (commenter on C Jane),

Most of the blogs I frequent are about families and the events in their lives. Most of these blogs are people I know personally and there are a few that I read that I do not know. Yet their interesting story compels me to follow along their blog. In response to your comments to C Jane about her sister's appearance on Oprah, I would like you to know that if I had a sister who survived a fiery plane crash, and was on the Oprah show, and if I had a tiny cameo in the story, I too, would post it on my blog. Because it would be something that happened to me. My friends and family might be interested in it. If other people care to read, that is fine too. That is why it is a blog. It is not conceited, prideful, or vain. It is life. And the life C Jane posts about happens to be full of a rather extraordinary event.

When was the last time you were on the Oprah show?

In response to her readers being zombies, who have nothing better to do with their lives, let me assure you we all do. And if the one thing we do is take 30 seconds to respond to a heart wrenching story about a girl who survives a plane crash and is scarred for life and leave a comment on her sisters blog, I wouldn't worry it. There are worse things we could all be doing. Although, I also have to wonder how much time you spend on her blog, seeing as how you made 2 comments. One could also wonder what else I have to do seeing as how I am now devoting a whole post to you.

In fact, let me go do those things now.
