I hope I'm not guilty of plagiarism with respect to pictures…though I try to use "free" pictures, or acknowledge those that aren't…

I feel you…what works for one doesn't always work for another; that's for sure.

►DiAmOnD hawk

Hey you! Hope you've been well.

My real pet peeve are the folks who keep saying they'll close. I do think it's nice to let your readers know you're leaving, it's just the flip-flopping that gets to me.

I agree with you on the potential of different ways of meeting.

►Femme Lounge

Well that's one way to look at it for sure!

►Andrea

I know what you mean…a good bye is nice; blogging about closing the blog every few months is a bit much for me :)

Hope ze bebe is coming along nicely.

people meet in all kinds of ways… so why not Facebook… times are evolving! :-)

However I am not against it as I believe it works for some. I have actually tried it although i must confess that the said individual and I met sometime in the past albeit once…

Well you have to tell me gist before posting it on your blog o! I just want to be in your elite group of friends sha…

but what if i just posted a long gist on my blog and i dont want to repeat the whole story and say go and check my blog? or maybe i shld just copy and paste it in an email for u…hehehehe

but i feel you sha.

I'd like to see a Nigerian Leprechaun!

►NBB

lol I have been guilty of begging people in the past, despite saying that I don't like it!

►Trybes

Yes, it has been a long time! I hope you're doing well. Happy Birthday to you as well! All the best this year and beyond.

►downtheaisle

I'm fine dear…hope you are too?

►isha

Hmm, good point about blog traffic…it's possible!

And yeah, I wonder if I'd tell my friends about my blog if I were to do it again…

►joicee

Thanks jare, and thanks for checking out AMSL.

►pinksatin

hehe, and they are just my pet peeves. I'm sure I do things that are on a lot of other people's pet peeves list.

►solomonsydelle

hehehe…you imp!

►Caramel Delight

It's funny actually: I had started this entry in draft form a while back so when I actually finished it up and posted it, I wasn't angry…anymore! ;)

lol I guess having a pint thrown on you is a good way to get free alcohol!

►LucidLilith

Ooh, I think I like your name for St. Patty's Day better than ours!

I agree with you regarding friendships and people who have blogs.

►Jaycee

lol thanks o! I mean thank God that these are the kinds of things that get under my skin right?

Plaigiarism irks me.

I entered blogsville "late" in the game so I don't know most of the really great writers that some older bloggers talk about but I have no doubt that they were great and I bet that most of them who decided to close down their blogs simply told people they were bowing out and left, rather than flip flopping on the issue every few months. I could be wrong though…

►Ejiro

Look who's talking about cracking someone up!

You're right that we're all Irish on March 17. I've never been to a parade though; maybe one day!

hehehe…very cute.

►2cute4u

I'm not vexed dear…lol this blog wasn't targeted toward any one person, I promise!

►NoLimit

Good explanation re: reading blog entries and not commenting. That makes perfectly good sense and it's something people can consider when they wonder why so-and-so didn't comment on their blog entry.

Congrats to your friend!

►mpb

lol badnaijagirl…that's what one of my brothers calls me!

Oh, I've blogged about being annoyed by the "first" thing before too…very annoying!

►Harry

hehe, you're welcome. Are you sure you really are thankful that I shared it?

►LusciousRon

Glad you did! Hope you are having a good March 17!

►Bisi

In my entry I said I'm sure it's not celebrated at all in Nigeria as its purpose is to celebrate all things Irish. The part about drinking is how people in my part of the world choose to commemorate the day…you don't hear much else other than how drunk people are planning to get. In one of the surveys in our local paper, when asked how they'd spend the day, "getting drunk" was in about four of the five responses.

I'm proud to claim Nigerian ancestry. Even though I don't sound Nigerian and many say my ways are oyinbo, and even though I have lived among the oyinbo for all but three years of my life, when people ask me where I'm from, I don't name the country I was born or the country that has been home for over 20 years, it's Nigeria I name.

I do feel that I'm allowed to share my opinion on how I see the day celebrated, just as others could do the same if I were to behave in a way that they find unseemly. That's the beauty of a blog.

►kay9

You are cheeky! :)

►nigerianwordsmith

YOu do? I never noticed! But now that I know…I'll be paying attention to you! And YES we are still freinds xo!

►toluwa

It's been a long while indeed. Se ko si? I hope you're doing well!

I guess some will embrace any reason to drink yeah? Alcohol isn't my thing I guess…if it was candy, that would be another matter entirely…
