I think.
Once in awhile when I get into doing something new on the internet, I'll see words thrown around that I've got to look up to make sure I'm understanding properly. Meme is one of those.
I used to write Lord of the Rings fanfiction, and when I first got into it, I had to look up slash fiction. I was in for a whole world of delicious.
Yep, I was into gay Hobbit porn.
I've been a fan of Tolkien since I was a kid. Some girls have a 'tramp stamp' tattoo on their lower backs. I have a 'nerd stamp':
I designed it myself, which I'm kind of proud of. When I tell people I have an Elvish tattoo, they always give me incredulous looks.
"You have an Elvis tattoo on your back???" O_O
I'm not good with this meme thing, so I'm proud that this is my third Blog Feature Friday in a row!
You MUST check out Bub @ I'd Like To Hold a Tarantula.
She hails from England, and has a very cool point of view on life and the people that move through hers.
She's up front about everything, and has a sense of humour that floats my goat.
Her husband died of cancer recently, and much of her blog is centered around dealing with it. Her post "15 Things Not To Say" is very informative. If you've ever felt the urge to say any of these things to a bereaved person, get that foot out of your mouth right now and take these to heart.
Bub makes an every day event into an adventure. She juggles fending off the advances of the annoyingly persistant Widower...
...with the horrors of cleaning up her grown daughter's room, which she affectionately dubs The Pit.
There is even a post offering warning to anyone thinking of joining the Mile High Club.
She's an excellent storyteller. She candidly takes us through her life with hilarity, sadness, anger and not a little incredulity and profanity. Her blog is honest, and I respect that in a writer.
I started at the beginning and read all of her posts on one of my days off, but if you don't have the time right this moment, at least read the first few before you move on to the newer ones.
Awesomeness.
