These four are special...

Colleen's Alone in a Crowd
Corina's Copacetic Castle
Kate's If I Wrote You...
Melissa's Planning A Sky

... because they are my long-lost sisters. (We were separated at birth. You think I'm kidding.)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And I read this...

Patrick's Inside

... because he is the online Will to my online Grace. ;-)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I read these...


Sasha's I'd Rather Eat Glass
Elspeth's Jabberwocky
Athena's Much Ado About...
Heather's One-Woman Focus Group
Tracing's Tracing

... because they are strong, introspective, unafraid women, whose company I strive to join.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I also read these...

Shannon's Betwixt
Bliss's Blissful Moments
Ceit's Book of the Amber Dragon
Katie's Digital Ink
Amancay's Lily of the Valley
Kristin's Unspoken

... because they are young women who remind me that age has nothing to do with it.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I read these...

Erik's Coffee Dog Journal
Christopher's Days of Naze
Chris's Pigeonhole
Scott's Medea's Memoirs

... because they represent the paradigm of reasons women love men, even in spite of them. (Plus Scott and I have the same birthday. Just in case you were wondering.)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I read these...

Meredith's Humidity and Hebephrenia
Anna's Lucidity
Jennifer's Good Things

... because they understand better than anyone what it is to be me.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And finally: I read these...

Beth's Bad Hair Days
Rob's The Book of Rob
Kim's Fresh Hell
Kymm's Hedgehog Tales
Natasha's Private Life

... because they are exceptionally talented at writing words that make me laugh right out loud, which I usually need more than anything.
