Once again, thanks and curses to Lin at Breathing Space for tempting me with this particular blogger’s challenge.
[Day 1 can be found here. And check out here, if you’re at all interested in seeing more of my WORD WORDS quote collection.]
Today’s recommendations of lovely blogging friends whose sites I encourage you to visit:
- Diahann, at Stories from the Belly
- Mara, at My Migraine Family
- Frances, at Garden of Words [formerly known as the web-identity “Okelle.” And I must say — no disrespect to Frances! — but Okelle still has the better (as in: AMAZEBALLS!) bio.]
[Bonus recommendation: Heather D., at Becoming Cliché. I feel an affinity for each of these bloggers based, in part, on how each of them interrogates the meaning and purpose of their own story-telling — but great Internet quote-memes require great pictures too, yes? What I have been learning from Heather is that, if one wants the awesomest pictures around, one really wants to know a zookeeper during hatching season.]
Now, if any of these folks decides to participate in any way — from posting quotes on their own blogs/Facebook feeds/tweets, to putting some favorite words in a comment here, to just having a warm happy feeling a few weeks from now when they read this post and realize I was thinking of them — that’ll be lovely too!
best,
alice
Very much feeling warm and fuzzy, Alice. Thank you!!! I will have to check out the other blogs, too!

Thanks for the linky! I’m so glad we found one another through the aether. I agree that my alter ego’s bio is much more compelling than mine. Maybe someday I’ll write a book about her.

I’m sure there are plenty of mis-attributed Hemingway quotes running around the interwebs, but I feel as confident as I can in this one! 🙂

Well…it’s not an embattled stance on proper over-under toilet paper etiquette or a picture of a newborn lizard smaller than your thumb — but I try to give back with whatever I have available to me. I’m a bit like O. Henry’s “Gift of the Magi” lady, in that way.
Only as a blogger.
And with buzzcut hair from the get-go.

I had forgotten the toilet paper debacle. Now I remember. But I’m still speaking to you, so it appears that I am growing up.

What’s that cliche about relationships? “You may not remember what they said or what they did — or which way they install their toilet paper roll — but you’ll always remember EXACTLY HOW THEY MADE YOU FEEL.”

And today, I feel like a properly-hung roll of toilet paper.
