For those unaware, I started this because I was convinced to join up for National Blog Posting Month, aka NaBloPoMo (which I think is a scary acronym). It's a spinoff of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which I think is a bit beyond my talents despite being asked if I would be participating this year. I think I'll leave that to my English major friend as he gallivants to the Gulf to help build homes for folks.
I've been reading other bloggers since 2003 when I happened up Shauny (what's new, pussycat?) while hunting for info on making websites. Since then, I have expanded my readings to many other blogs some of which are linked to from this site. Shauny's friends mb and Jack were easy to start reading since Shauny hosted them. mb is a writer while Jack flies planes. What more is there to say? American Family relates to me more because she delves into cultural issues that can come up living with two cultures in your home. Somewhere along the line, I happened upon dooce who blogs for a living. Yes, she supports her husband and little girl with the income she makes from blogging. And she has amazing writing that really pulls you in and makes you laugh or sob. Speaking of writing, I have yet to come across an entry by Heather Anne that hasn't left me laughing to some degree or another. There are a couple I haven't mentioned, but they are either on the monthly blog entry plan or they do index cards. Then the rest are my friends from school, near and far whose work I enjoy reading and pictures I enjoy seeing. Life is grand because of them!
Ok, enough sappiness, back to that Half-Life level now!
