she is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).

justlisa. oh goodness. when did i first start reading justlisa? from looking back she hit the links the week of 1.28.2001, which ment that i was probably reading her earlier, just going to her site from another one.

i'm not sure why i was attracted to her site in particular. why i read lisa's site more than others. i remember that at that time she had stories about her life up and that i was very drawn to that. very frank stories about the birth of her son. i'm drawn to people who write honestly about their lives.

soon she and i started to get to know each other. and now, well. if you read this weblog on a regular basis you know that i simply adore lisa. i love what she writes on her weblog. she has said she has nothing to write about, but i say thats baloney, because she does have so much to write about. lisa writes from her heart. what you get in her weblog is her. there is no pretense there. the only difference between her weblog and knowing her like i know her is i know more about her. her weblog is just snippets of a whole, real person.

bloggin love fest take 2

chel, at bliss. i have forgotten how i found chel. and she's not a part of my blogsphere and we've never talked on the phone. we have exchanged cards and emails.

i love chel's perspective on the world. it is so different than mine. but the same in a way. she's different than most people i know. this is from what i know of her.. she seems to be less loud. yes, the people closest to me tend to be loud. this quiet perspective is nice.

chel is also very kind.

finally, she is honest in her writing. she is honest in her struggles and her joys. her weblog is truly one of the highlights of my daily readings.
