Just Me, thank you for the comment. =)

I think we’re agreed on Britt’s awesomeness, yes?

I have to agree, Britt, I love reading your blog. I was away for a week and actually missed reading you (among my other favorite morning reads…poppy, adam, dawg and amy)…..

You are real…and if real means “rock star” “alpha blogger” “a lister” then roll with it. Because you are you and thats what everyone enjoys.

Heh, as I said to Avitable above, I know it wasn’t my tweet. It just felt like it, and I’m sensitive about things like that. You could say I have issues. ;)

I’m with you on feeling uncomfortable with compliments, but honestly? You deserve them. Really, and truly. Your web presence, your shared thoughts and experiences, and your honesty have helped a lot of people. You see that every day, in comments, as people reach out to you.

As for my support? You’re welcome. I read through your entire archives in one sitting, and I have continued to visit and read. In doing so, I’ve come to respect you - and your opinion - and to care about your life and your well-being.

That’s why you’re on my A-list. =D

Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, I know it wasn’t just me. But it happened RIGHT after I twittered to her, so I was all, “Crap! I upset the Queen!” Britt is one of my favourite bloggers, and I just wanted people to realise that not everyone uses the terms ‘A-lister’ and ‘alpha blogger’ in a negative way.

You’re definitely a rock star, Avitable. ;)

Thanks for the comment.

Oh man. I’m so sorry.

First of all - I SWEAR that this post was not written in response to your tweet. Honestly. :-)

And I know that people mean it nice. I know that people are being supportive.

And I what I SHOULD do, what I need to LEARN to do, is smile and say “wow, thank you”.

But as one of my commenters pointed out today - I struggle with that. I have no problem showing the world all of the ways in which I suck. But as soon as someone compliments me I get all weird and uncomfortable.

*sigh*

I’ve got issues.

ANYway - thank you for your support. Really and truly. Thank you.

And you’re right - it is absolutely NOTHING to sniff at.

It was a culmination of things that made her write that post, including a big conversation with Karl a few weeks ago, so don’t feel too bad!

You can call me an A-lister and rock star all you want, though. I don’t have the same problems with it. :D
