Followers?

Okay folks - I have 17 official followers... all of whom I know. HOWEVER - my little map thing tells me there are all sorts of people from different parts of the United States and the world who have stumbled upon my blog. Some of the people I can figure out based on the cities, but some I have no clue about. To be completely honest I'm not sure how I feel about that. SO - who are you? I'd love to know who is reading my little corner of the internet. I hope some of the random people will comment and let me know how they came to find my blog and such.
