Is anybody there?

Well I just looked at the stats thing here and discovered all sorts of weird shit that I don't understand. I don't know who is reading this, or even if it is a person and not some program that collects everything that mentions something specific. There might be a person in Russia (which would just be so cool - knowing how my view of America has changed since reading and becoming pals with various American bloggers, I would so love to make connections in other parts of the world). I don't really get how blogger works - I don't know how to make contact with other people on here - I don't even know where to find other blogs. I hoped someone would leave a comment and I could ask them but no one's done that (except Art and he doesn't read now that he's working). So this is me, saying if anyone is reading then I thank you and hello, hope you are well and I'd really appreciate it if you left me a comment and told me where the community of bloggers is hanging out. Cheers.
