I think one of the biggest I can get on this blog is to know that I've inspired someone to go out and create their own. I guess knowing that I'm out there spilling out my dirty laundry for the whole world to see as a weird sort of therapy makes it a little easier for other people to do the same thing...

Anyway, I guess sometimes I don't inspire as much as I TELL people to create their own blog, as see here with my conversation with "The Landlord".

TheLandlord: never mind...here is the link...remember in your drunken state the other night when you told me to do this???
TheLandlord: http://www.livejournal.com/users/vodkaredbull/
TheLandlord: you have created a monster
Miss Yano: haha
Miss Yano: i remember talking to you
Miss Yano: but don't remember telling you to create a blog
TheLandlord: it was more like...(drunken sluring) hey....you need to start a journal with all your escapades...drool....swerve....
Miss Yano: wow...i'm proud!

----------------------------------------------------

I've also added a whole bunch of blogs since the last time I wrote about this...so here's the rundown of the new sites I've added:

Anita: Liberal, outspoken, and someone who knows the ecstacy that is Graeter's ice cream. Read her post election thread, it's pretty good.

Carla: The LBC gal that I hung out with a total of, um, TWO times when I was in California. Both times, the fact that we read each other's sites was not mentioned, but it was unspoken. A pretty cool chick who has given me the title of 'the connoisseur'. I kinda like that!

Erina: The first time I actually met Erina, she came up to me and introduced herself. Immediately upon meeting her you can sense that she is a sweet and good person. It's obvious from her posts, also.

Karl: A faithful reader and fellow Chicago Cubs fan. He's only just started blogging and he's doing a great job! Though I think he's going to change his blog title once he turns 33.

Kimmy: I don't know how I didn't have this post in here before. Melanie's partner in crime Kimmy is ultra-cool, and I give her a lot of props for still playing football after all these years!

Linda J: My Portland connection, which insists that there are sunny days in Portland and hates with when I refer to California as 'Cali'.

Marin: Wow, a skater that actually updates her blog regularly and cares about spelling and punctuation (most of the time anyway). It's fun to see the world through her eyes.

Marky Mark: The smoothest dancer I've ever seen, and super-huggable, to boot. He was an Elm Street Girl for a couple hours, but long enough to enjoy Free Panties. Not in a perverted way, of course.

Monique: The site was gone, and now it's back again. She says what she wants and takes no prisoners.

Pat: Another blog that rose from the ashes of deletion. He's my comic book homie, he lets me in on the latest scoops and this guy can schmooze comic creators like nobody's business. And he sent me rockin' sketches. See ya at WWC!

Stan: Part of what I've come to call my Long Beach Family - the people who made California feel like home for me and Dave when we were out there.

Tara: Yet another new blogger. A Hawaiian living on the mainland, she's got a lot of good stuff to share.

Tom: "The Landlord", who has so many interesting adventures, that I guess I told him he should have a blog. And he has!

I swear I had added more since the last time, but I guess not! Welcome to my blogroll, people!
