An LJ holiday!!

[candyland]

socchan has decided to kick-start a new LJ holiday: Lurker Day. Her official take on it can be found here, but here's the short version for those who don't feel like clicking on the link.

Lurkers. The people that hang around and read LJs, but don't actually say anything. There are a wide variety of reasons why people lurk: shyness, not knowing what to say, not wanting to be thought of as a stalker among others. And it's hard to speak up and say "Hi, I'm here!!"

So socchan had the idea that there should be a day for the lurkers to come out of the wallpaper and let the world know they are there and like what they're reading. So I'm doing my little bit to put out the call and encourage lurkers all over to make yourselves heard. I know there are a couple of LJ's that I occasionally stalk read without commenting, and I plan to celebrate the holiday.

The date of National Lurker Day (for this year, at least) is March 2nd. Go comment and be heard!! And kudos to socchan for the awesome idea!!
