Man, having so many people off at RWA National sure does make the blogosphere dead as the proverbial doornail (and what IS a doornail, anyway???). So. I’m forced to do a meme.
1. When did you first start blogging?
- Well, I joined Livejournal in September 2003, but I had a grand total of one post for the year. So I hardly think that counts. *g* I posted sporadically through 2004 (mostly doing memes), then in April 2005, one of my best friends, Suzanne, said I needed to get more serious about blogging, and thus this site was started.
2. What don’t you talk about?
- The same as everyone else. Politics and religion. Or at least I try not to. Sometimes things just slip out before I can think.
I also try not to get too into personal details since this is such a public forum. I don’t always succeed at that one either.3. Are you and your blogging persona the same person?
- Hmm. Good question. I guess to a certain extent we are. Then again, maybe not since I’m talking about me, myself, and I in third person….
4. How do you use blogging to build friendships?
- Oh, wow. I would be SO lost without the online community. While living in the Back of Beyond is quiet, more or less, it’s also… well, the Back of Beyond! I have family here, but not any friends. My friends live all over the country. Some of them I’ve even met in person. LOL!
5. How would you describe your writing style?
- Snarky?
Wow. Here’s a blast from the past! Those of you older than, say, 35, do you remember a group from the ’60s called The Cowsills? Four brothers who were later joined by their youngest brother and their sister Susan. Well, Susan Cowsill now has her own solo career! Who knew!
The Stargate franchise shows were fun last night! We had a crossover episode for SG: 1 with Atlantis.
I managed to eke out another page last night. Stefan got rather huggy-kissy with Stacy. Not that she was complaining, mind you. And it’s certainly one way to distract a girl from the fact someone wants to kill her.
I am seriously trying to take this opportunity to get my butt in gear and write. And yes, the blogosphere is dead.
And I would SO love to spend the whole weekend following links to pictures and all that good stuff.
But I won’t.
Because, *snap*, that’s right. I have books of my OWN to write.
Grins*

YES!!!
Lord, I just love him.
I’m trying to parcel out my time between the tube and the work. Ya know. :wink:
Only my sanity is paying the price. BBC right?

OMG! I remember that group.
As a matter of fact, The Patridge Family was based on them. The producers wanted to hired the Cowells for the show, but due to artist differences, they decided to go with actors instead.

Tori,
I’m so bored, I’m looking up idioms, like “dead as a doornail”.
A doornail is the strikeplate for most door knockers. To hold it in place, after it was driven through the door, the pointed end was bent over and buried in the door, to prevent movement. This nail was unrecoverable, so was considered dead to future reclamation, which was apparently common before modern time.
What are you up to?:lol:
