National De-Lurking Week


There are some folks (and I KNOW you're out there) who read my blog and yet are usually to shy to comment. Come on! Leave a comment! De-lurk! I'd love to hear from you!

Hey, everyone else's regulars are leaving daft comments on their blogs!!

Jesse said...

I dont lurk. I also dont comment as much as I used too. So that's that.

Oh yeah, and howdy.

JM said...

hello!

BrightStar (B*) said...

hi! I read consistently, but often do not comment because the dialogue is quite smart in your comments and by the time I arrive, I never know quite how to add much, but I have always enjoyed your writing.

"Yet another stressed out academic who spends way too much time online. That'd be me!"

That'd be me too, though I don't have a blog.

Lady Eve said...

De-lurking as ordered. Hello!

I think I've commented before. I don't think I'm a complete lurker. But at any rate, I'm a single female tenure tracker, got hired at the same time you did. And your blog was/is my favorite in the whole world. In fact, I'm such a big fan that it's embarrassing, and probably a little inappropriate, or at least indicative of my need to get a real life with deeper emotional texture than my online life.

Looking forward to more blogging on the academic writing life.

i've commented occasionally, because i don't know very much. i'll be starting (fingers crossed!) an interdisciplinary/social sciences phd in the fall. i like what you have to say since i am really curious about (trepidatious too) what that will hold for me.

Tinky/Caddy said...

Hi, Dr. Crazy =) Found you via my classmate's link to your old site, and have been a faithful follower since then. Glad you're still blogging.

michelle said...

hi. i've posted once or twice but happy delurking week all the same!

Seeking Solace said...

Greetings and salutations! How’s that for a hello?

Jenny Davidson said...

Yes, I've commented occasionally too, but not for a while; I like your blog a lot, came here initially via Inside Higher Ed. (I'm also a tenure-track female English professor; I find your musings on anonymity or otherwise especially interesting, my blog's more of a literary thing and less academic & it's under my real name, which leads to its being a somewhat different animal than yours I think.) I'll be interested to see what you do over here--good luck with writing plans & the new semester.

You caught me...

Have a great semester...

kp said...

I'm not sure whether I've ever left a comment, but I read you all the time. Good stuff.

Dr. Virago said...

I'm not a lurker at all, but I wanted to say I didn't know about National De-lurking Week at all and might do something similar on my blog -- so thanks. And cool graphic, too.

Scrivener said...

I think I've left a comment over here and at the old blog once or maybe twice. Is it ok to use the holiday to point out that I think you lurk on my blog way more than I lurk on yours?

PMG said...

I admit, I lurk! You have a lovely blog, and I always look forward to reading it.

phd me said...

I know I've commented before but I definitely read every day. Love the new format, by the way!

jo(e) said...

I read all your posts, but don't always comment, so I think that qualifies me as a lurker.

Dr. Crazy said...

Hi everybody! You know what's funny? As Scrivener points out, I think I'm the biggest Lurker ever - it's actually REALLY rare that I comment on most of the blogs that I read. Hmmm.... Perhaps today I shall celebrate nat'l de-lurking week by commenting on all of the blogs that I read?

Oh, and I can't take credit for the graphic - I stole it from Clare :)

Unknown said...

hi :)

Holly said...

I'm a regular lurker, simply because I rarely have anything useful to say (take now for example)! I really enjoy the daily read though.

Coffee-Drinking Woman said...

Hi. Delurking. I love your blog.

The graphic was created by Sheryl of Paper Napkin. She's got a bunch more available if you follow the link. Some of them are quite funny. Actually, delurking week is her creation as well.

Badger said...

I think your other blog was one of the first academic blogs I stumbled upon. I definitely read this blog far far far more often than I comment.

Unknown said...

Delurking. I have always enjoyed your blog. I especially appreciate your posts on teaching.

Unknown said...

hello from a grad student lurker. yours is one of the blogs i'm reading as i'm finishing up coursework and getting ready to teach in the fall...it's a good way to keep perspective on this life. (i also enjoy the other, less academic posts...)

kmsqrd said...

hello, damnit.

Morning, I'm not yet a lurker, because I just found your blog.

USJogger said...

I'm not sure whether I count as a lurker or not. I have left one (1) comment, which elicited a very polite response. I am not a long-time fan, but I've been reading fairly regularly since close to the end of that other blog you had. I enjoy your work, and I believe I'll keep reading. It's a nice perspective on teaching and the academic life.

Hello.

comebacknikki said...

Hey! :)
I've been reading for a few months, but can't remember if I've ever commented.

Miranda said...

Just delurking as requested. I've really enjoyed reading your blog over the last year or so.

Dr. Crazy said...

Hiya De-Lurkers! Thanks for stopping by!

veteran novice said...

Nice to find your new site. Hope you accomplish what you are trying to do. You are always a pleasure to read.

Andrea said...

Hi. I love reading your blog.. if only to remind myself why I was so right to get out of academia and off the tenure train before I ended up in a wreck. I'm only half-kidding. I'm an ex-prof with 2 small children and have been struggling with my two lives for too long. Finally after the nth act of blatant sexism and general bad management by my department, I quit. I'm a free woman. And getting poorer by the minute. I actually do feel free at last, and I don't regret it. Now I just have to find a way to pay the bills.

Anniina said...

Hi, Dr. Crazy! This is my first visit - I came from 'Quod She' via your old blog. Thus, my first introduction to you was the . closing post of the old blog. I was intrigued, and followed your 'change of address link' and I'm glad I'm here! Great stuff!

Dr. Crazy said...

Hello! Hello! Thanks for stopping by!

kermitthefrog said...

Hi Crazy - I've been reading for some time, and enjoy it both as a grad student who's interested in academic issues, and a reader who appreciates good writing. best, kermit

Not Quite Grown Up... said...

Hi. I've been reading your blog for a couple months, and don't think that I have ever commented. I like reading your blog because it helps me to remember that my professors are real people with lives outside of the class they are teaching me.

susan said...

Hi Dr. Crazy--I like your new space! I can't remember if this is my actual first comment on your blog, but I've been reading your previous one for a while.

Scarbrowed said...

I just discovered your blog. I'm contemplating whether to head for a future as a law professor. I love reading about how evals really work for a professor.

chemgoddess said...

Hi. I've commented before but not recently (if memory serves me). I had been reading your old blog for about a year and I think I like the new blog even more!

Looking forward to posts to come...

Dr. Crazy said...

Howdy ho, de-lurkers!
