Consider this a challenge!


A letter to my one reader from Denmark:

Dear reader from Denmark,

I’m pretty sure that you accidentally came upon this blog while searching for something super cool and European (like…tea and crumpets…), but thank you for making this humble little online journal go international. I feel so cultured now because of it. You deserve a plaque. The good kind of plaque. Not the kind that rots your mouth and causes heart attacks. Because you deserve good things. Not bad. So thanks.

Traditional Denmarkian send-off,

Molly
Blogger from Accidentally Hilarious.



UPDATE:

I've checked my reader stats again, and discovered that my "All Time" audience is as follows:

United States: 1,009 
Denmark: 5
Canada: 3
Croatia: 2
Japan: 1
Taiwan: 1

Well, whaddaya know! What a little cultured blog this is! Here is an updated letter to my international readers.


Dear World,

You may not know it, mainly because I'm positive you can't read this because you don't speak English (save for Canada...maybe), but you've just made me the happiest little blogger on the face of...you...! You've even inspired me to look at a map to find Croatia. What a pretty little country you are, Croatia! Good for you! Well, I urge you to continue accidentally coming across this page, and tell your friends from other countries, too! I'd like to get some French readers in on this little shindig. And maybe some Irish, too! Erin go bragh! 

Worldly tidings,

Molly
Accidentally Hilarious





Also, since I'm going on about stats and such, I should also mention that since its inception in May of this year, Accidentally Hilarious (formerly The Sun Shine) has reached over 1,000 views! This is a big deal for me! Thank you to everyone who has read this blog through good and bad, thick and thin, and all that jazz.

This blog is for you. In fact, it's for you, but it's especially for my 8 followers. When I first started out, I had none. And now, 7 months later, that number has increased substantially. Oh yes, very substantially. For the rest of you readers, if you want to feel especially special, you should just look up to the left of the page and click the pretty little "Follow" button. All you need is a google account, and that includes Gmail, or a Blogger account. So, if you've already got a Google, you're qualified! Yay! As President of Accidentally Hilarious, I promise to keep you entertained and intrigued with all the blogs to come. I also promise to ban broccoli from hot lunch. Er. Wait. That's something different. 

In honor of this momentous and historic occasion, I am opening the blog up to you. I want to know what you want to read about. Send me your ideas. If you want me to write a blog about rainbow colored puppies, I will write a blog about rainbow colored puppies. If you want me to write a fictional story about a frog, I will write a story about a frog. If you want me to blog about politics, I will probably not write about politics. Sorry. So there you have it. Consider this a challenge. 

I think this is going to show me just how many people do or don't actually read my blog....

Oh well! BRING IT ON, READERS!!!

Peace.

Molly

Seems as though I've been slipping off the blog wagon. Could be because my life isn't exactly very exciting these days. I auditioned for SNC Music Theatre's production of "Joseph" and was cast as one of the wives of the brothers. So I have that to look forward to for the summer. I want to live next to water someday. I was driving down Riverside Drive coming back from the call back for Joseph yesterday and the sun was setting over the Fox River. It was so beautiful, so peaceful. It would be so wonderful to see that every night from the rear window of the house that I live in. I hung out with two of my best friends in the entire world at Communiversity Park this afternoon. We had the strange realization that we've now been friends for 10 years. We also decided that we're going to go to our 5 year high school reunion as Sex and the City. Because it's so fitting. I'm Carrie, I guess. But we decided that Lauren and I are interchangeable Carrie and Charl

We. Want. Attention.

These thoughts are fresh in my mind and I need to write them down before they evaporate. Very recently I've been thinking about how social media has affected us as a whole, and myself personally. We post things that we hope people will notice. We live for how many "likes" that over-share of a status we posted will get, or how many people will Retweet that witty, completely original post about Jennifer Lawrence's tumble at the Oscars, or your super funny joke about the blackout at the Superbowl. Surely, no one else's post was as original as yours. There are even pages entirely dedicated to do nothing but post pictures for no apparent reason with the caption, "How many likes for this poor woman suffering from menstrual cramps? 1 Like = 1 Prayer."  Come on, people. We want people to like us. To notice us. We. Want. Attention. That's all social media is, really. Your Facebook timeline is one giant plea to your friends to notice you. You don&#

Job hunting is a funny thing.

I decided it was about time I updated the few of you who read these posts about how my life has been since I moved to Chicago. First of all - job hunting is a funny thing. You put in a hundred million applications to a hundred million stores, restaurants, hotels, even dog walking companies. You do it online, you do it in person, you do it....doggy style? That was way funnier in my head. I was worried sick that I wouldn't find a job and that I would slowly become the poorest person on the planet and have to live on subway cars that smell like pee and eat rats that I caught with my bare hands.  But when Jade and I got off the train on our first excursion into downtown Chicago, I saw a Bed Bath & Beyond literally right in front of me, and with my luck, they had a table full of applications and a sign that said "Join our team! Turn in an application and get an immediate interview." Well I did, and I was really hopeful for that job, but I never heard back from them.
