Blog it Forward
"The rules are really simple. For those of you who are new to this, all you have to do is pick someone from your blogroll and post (on your site) just what makes them blogworthy."
And so I bring you... three random sites from my blogroll. And when I say random, I mean I have my eyes closed! I have my eyes closed and I'm mousing around and now I'm going to click and-- That wasn't my blogroll. I have my eyes closed and I'm mousing around the general area where my blogroll should be and the winner is... Blogrolling. Crap. I have my eyes closed again and I'm mousing a bit higher and the first winner is...
1) Jezblog
No, seriously, it is. It's good old Jezzles, who doesn't blog nearly as frequently about the horrors of Paris now that he's moved to Yorkshire (fancy that!).
Jez found me (or I found him, I don't know which anymore) last year while I was in the mdiathque de Vichy, struggling with the computers that like to reset when you don't wiggle the mouse often enough. It's actually kind of strange that I remember that! The first interaction I remember with Jez was when he asked me why I was a friendless loser. And it's all been downhill from there.
Anyway, Jez is a good blog, listens to (and sends me) great music, always comes up with wonderful, terrible jokes and insane badger-related links and is a fantastic Blackadder-war opponent. He invited me to an imaginary party and someday I hope to take him up on that. Now let's see who comes up next...
2) me(ish)
I've always considered Meg one of my blogparents because hers was one of the first weblogs I was aware of, having come across this post on one of my daily John Hannah googlings back in the day. I was surprised to learn that there were people who recorded their daily comings and goings and thoughts and musings on the Internet and knew that it was far too much work for me to do! Eventually I caught on to that thing called Blogger and became a writer and reader of blogs myself. So now you know whose fault that is.
Here is one of my favorite Meg-posts: Wie sagt man "confused" en franais?. And now we move on to our third guest:
I remember my first experience with November 2002 archives.... I believe it was November 1, 2002. Funny how we remember these dates-- WAIT! This isn't on my blogroll, is it? Scratch that.
3) swirlspice
"Well," as the Church Lady would say, "Isn't that conveeeeeeeeenient?" Now I don't have to link back to this post, which is where I heard about this whole Blog it Forward malarkey in the first place. Erica very happily seems to be online whenever I am, which means that in my obsessive screen-refreshing, her link often comes up as --swirlspice--, indicating that her site has been freshly updated and srahs are happy. Erica is a Michigander, although she is temporarily displaced in Minnesota. When she worked in Ann Arbor, I always imagined that I would run into her somewhere, but I haven't done so yet. I hope that she will come back soon so that we can wear our Blogger sweatshirts and go skipping hand in hand together down the street.
Oh yeah, and her blog is fun too.
