Have you tried an eighties power ballads, that should cheer you up. Back in the eighties feel good films were much much more cheesy and superficial.

P.S. you've been nominated for a bloggy! Stop worrying about the hits or the whole thing will become crap. Note how I haven't pointed out the fact that my blog has a recent post all about power ballads. Hits aren't why we do this!

I love 80s films - I'm sure Cocoon would make me cry right now. Yeah I know I am numbers obsessed but I don't think i would do this if nobody was reading it I don't have enough self-motivation.

Hey! I read You every day.

Please don't get me wrong - I know people read it and I really appreciate it, it's just here has been such a huge drop off it's hard not to wonder why that is :-.

uh uhuhuhuh uhuhuhuhuuuuuu...don't worry, uhuhuhuhuuuuu...be happy, uhuhuhhuuuuuu! i love your blog! 2day even wasn't a good day until your post arrived sooo late. kopf hoch!

I'll share with my friends.

ohhhhhhh now i feel sad. My day starts with your blog and whenever else i get an oppotunity to check it i do..and i get the emails telling me when there is a new post.
If it means anything to you i want you to know that i love your blog it is soooooo good and i think you are funny and brilliant too....sigh what can i say? you were on blogs of note and things went through the roof for a while there it was GREAT
BUT I,in my little house in sydney australia, do not know how many people read your blog and that is not why i read it i read it because it is funny and interesting and i feel like i really am getting to know you (not in a creepy way)BLAH BLAH just hang in there...things are always darkest before the dawn,every cloud has a silver lining...you get the drift...WE LOVE YOU IN MY HOUSE

*sniff* thanks everyone!! I don't want to come across like I am ungrateful, I think that's how it comes across - my recent sadness is much more to do with family stuff (it's not appropriate to blog about all of it) than the blog it's just sometimes it feels like everything is happening at once.

dont cry please.

I hope your dad is o.k i spent all afternoon force feding your blog to my daughter who is now hooked....and i started with tony's words of wisdom.Thanks to tony and his wise words we are now NEVER ever late.
Today we were in the car and i said"Hey! Local Girl might have a new post when we get home"
YAAAAAY was the reply.
cheer up chicken

Today's post just makes me love your stuff MORE! I was out with a bunch of (geeky, but in a cool way) guys last Thursday and they'd all heard of Local Girl and were fans - at last, I feel part of the 'in crowd'. 32 years it took...and YOU did that!

Also, Local Girl is a useful social tool when wanting to change conversational topics...

For all those girls out there wondering what men talk about when we're somewhere else obsessing about them... Shit. Literally. they like talking about poo. How much, when, HOW best to...perch in various European countries...

Local Girl helped deflect the defect!

Get well soon, Caroline's dad! I met him once, and he was very nice.

Juno: yeah, at first I was worried it was trying to be Ghost World (no film can ever be Ghost World), but it turned out alright. Why does Jason Bateman always play twerps on film? (Juno, The Kingdom, The Ex - fools in all)
If there is an Arrested Development film, it will be the best thing ever.

Add me to the list of those who have recently stumbled upon your blog (without using StumbleUpon, I might add). I've tried (and failed) to write a blog so many times in the past, so I admire the ability to keep going - and make it funny :D

and yes, Juno is a great film...

I check your blog at least 10 times a day- waiting for a new post to make me smile. You are amazing! It makes me sad that you are sad.... I know you are going through a hard time, but just remember that all your fans love you! Who cares about the numbers? Turn that frown upside down!
I hope you win your Bloggie- You deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your blog. sorry you are feeling sad.

See, I TOLD you that you should've come and cried at the studio instead.

Tits

post-holiday blues, usual life shit, ups & downs & undulations, pleeeez don't stop posting, your blog rocks. life is wot makes it all interesting innit.
hugs xxxx

Chin up, LG. Your blog is one of my favorite blogs on my daily read routine. It's clever, unique, and hilarious. I'm sure your parents are proud of you. Seriously, the posts in which they appear are some of the best.

We all fall into those low moments every now and then... that emotion is our human, empathetic connection with one another.... if we didn't have those down moments, we'd all be assholes... imagine, a planet full of O 0 o O o 0.... not too pretty... you just have to pause and ask what this diffucult moment is trying to teach you and move forward in your life with the lesson - and expect more of those moment/lessons to come, they're here to serve you and your brilliant mind! Release ego so nothings in your way of your truth. Release toxic people in your life. Be only alongside people who want the best for you as much as possible.

If you feel lonely, write your Love List... 100 qualities you want your man to have, down to the color of his socks, then put it away and forget about it so the Universe can do it's job. Let him come to you.

Don't worry about the numbers, they weren't our crowd anyway. Fuck em.
You need to cut out the chaff once in a while.
The people left are your true fans, yeah.
It'll grow, just keep going.
If you need another boost just let us all know, OK?

aww you are al SO NICE, thanks for taking the time to message - I guess it must really seem like I am fishing for compliments when i do a post like that but I'm not really it's just this blog has become such a large part of my day :D

Maybe you need a new gimmick to liven up the blog... like a new character! Talking dog, perhaps? Or a funny alien.

In all seriousness, I love it here. Change nothing.

Caroline,

Sometimes I find myself wincing at how honest and open you are with the things that happen in your life (that's a good thing, by the way). Please don't give up based on numbers, as they mean nothing. You've got a talent that you should continue to share, regardless of the size of your audience. If nothing else, at least for the "experience points".

Hope your dad is well and keep up the good work.

I read your blog every day too, you rock local girl!

I check your blog a coupla times a day. It makes my day. Loved it when you came back from vacay and posted a ton of stuff!

Hope your dad feels better.

hi! i just discovered your blog a few weeks ago and i am lovng it... cheers!

I totally read you every day, LG!
