All About You - 2006 cont.

Now introducing - D through G!

dcmisner - well, you practically never update, but I like knowing you are out there. The same can be said of fuxupyo. You guys are my only “real life” friends on this crazy thing called lj, and I like it that way. I like knowing someone who actually knows me is out there in the wings.

draysha68 - I know you through dcmisner, of course. I have watched your struggles moving from home to New York, and now dealing with the loss of your mother. It seems you have had a rough year, I am hoping that 2006 brings you peace and happiness.

drood - Oh my, I like your journal. It has so many elements I would love to see in my own - witty, conversational, sometimes thought provoking... frequently updated - all things I would love to do myself. Being an aspiring writer myself, it’s also wonderful to read things about the career of writing through someone who is there. Your first hand accounts about the literary world put a more human face on “being a writer.” It’s a good reminder that, like any job, it has its ups and downs, its office politics, its frustrations - as well as its joys.

epliady - How can I thank you enough? From tips on where to buy dresses and custom made lingerie, to fabulous recipes, your journal has been a real joy to read. Politically you’ve opened my eyes and frequently you make me smile.

ericaceous - I like your everyday posts. You almost always have a touch of humor in there that makes me smile. We’ve had some good conversations through comments as well.

errantpenny - You’ve been absent for awhile, I hope because all sorts of fun things are going on in your life!! It certainly sounded like things were heading that way! You are so remarkable in the way you open yourself up and really examine what is going on inside. Not many people can do that. You’ve got a real gift with words and I hope you keep using it - whether it is here or in those amazing travel essays you write.

felicks - I think I just added you to the friends list this year and I still feel like I’m getting to know you. I see your witty comments in many of our mutuals friends’ journals. It sounds like you have had some wonderful things happen in 2005!

fuxupyo - Like Mr. Misner, you are my other “real life” friend - and the one who introduced me to this thing. I even remember the night you told me about it - we were walking in Ah-Nab-A-Wen Park near the river. I don’t remember being all that impressed. Then I got online and started reading it for myself. It took a few months - mostly I entertained myself by reading your friends list, but eventually I had to try it for myself. I don’t see you very often, but I admit it is strange when you talk to me about things I have written about. Since I don’t share this journal with friends from around town, it’s odd to hear it referred to. Last time we talked, back in July, it sounded like things were going really well for you. I am so glad!! You deserve it!

gordonzola - I know you are on something of a break right now, and I miss you. Yours is another journal that has opened my eyes in a number of ways (many political.) Couple that with your sense of humor and savvy cheese advice, it’s a journal I look forward to reading. On top of that you have a terrific friends list - I have met so many interesting people from your list! Whenever I went surfing for new people to read, your list was one of the first places I looked.
