Thoughts on Comments

I like all the comments I get--no really; I mean every single one, because that means that someone didn't end up reading my posts and saying, "No way--you couldn't even get me to comment on that one for credit!" and clicking away from the page immediately. I'm not saying this is a rational kind of fear, but sometimes it's one I have! Even though everyone's been really nice so far. But if I had to say which ones are the most memorable, I'd have to say that: 1) the ones on my introduction post that tell me about classes that people have taken/experiences that people have had with anthropology are some of my favorites, because I'm seriously crazy about my major (I'm not sure if you could tell; I kind of mention it every few sentences) and I love hearing about what other people know about it, because it's not always a field that's in the limelight, as well as: 2) the ones on my story posts that tell me that the story made them feel or think a certain way, because that lets me know that I got at least close to where I was going when I was writing!

As for my own comments, I think I could do better about asking questions and relating to people more (by telling them that I do this or that that's connected with what they're doing, etc.)--these are actually things I struggle in real life conversation with too, so it's kind of funny to see them reflected in my online conversations as well...
