| Tags: friends, blogging, SC
I've had it with you people.
I was quietly blogging here, not
being obtrusive or obnoxious, writing mostly to satisfy my urge for
self-expression, and not expecting to be disturbed and bothered by the
tangled lives of other bloggers. But then you came into my life,
uninvited, subscribing to me, reading my posts and commenting on them,
and naturally tempting me to subscribe to you, read your posts, and
comment on them too.
You led my simple thoughts into a fearsome
maze of complexity. You brought out a diabolical mix of emotions that I
didn't know, or didn't want to admit, existed in me. Worst of all, you
conspired with that sneaky conniving woman Gingersoul to bombard and
embarrass me with noisy greetings on a day that I had wanted to spend
in perfect quiet and obscurity.
In short, you all are a
fantastic bunch of gentle, sensitive, smart, articulate, witty,
seductive, brave, alluring, heroic, and lovely people i've never really met
yet.
So this time I'm going to make sure that we are properly introduced, you and I.
Below
is an alphabetical listing of all of you who are currently subscribed
to me (plus those who greeted me last week in ginger's blog). I will
try to summarize in a few words what I know (and like) about you. But
you're too many for me to cover in one sitting, so I will do this
gradually, starting from the lesser-known bloggers.
Consider
this as my attempt to rewrite your SC profiles the way I like it. Or,
since this will be a painstaking slow process, you might want to jump
the gun on me by re-introducing yourselves in your own words.
Ok, here goes...
-ocean-
-- lives and breathes the water world; likes hot baths and drinks and
breathtaking views, plays sax and flute... last blogged Jan 16. hey

bluegum -- Reminds
himself to open mind, enjoy life, do no harm, and die in in the arms of
the woman he loves. Now if only he starts blogging about that lucky
woman... :-)

botoni
-- profile says "Growing and aging along with the rest. Love with me

-- indisputably in my mind, the best poet produced so far by soulcast.
simply the best. her letters to youniverse speaks of everything. at the
risk of being redundant, let me repeat it. she is simply the best
hereabouts. more of us should read her blogs.

CreativeWoman -- She is a creative Cinderella, with well-written blogs on very personal
blogs topics. Writes occasional poetry and runs two websites. Trapped
in the tedium of farm life and a stagnant marriage, and dreams for a
Prince Charming to take her away. She is much more than she gives
herself credit for being.
crybabylu -- Don't mind her "crybaby" name, because she's happy as she can be, with
Papajack et al. by her side. All her blog titles are enclosed in
quotation marks, and decorated with nice glittering cards.
d2pelleg
d6fer -- Repairs
espresso machines for a living. Has strong opinions on global warming,
liberals, immigration, and political issues. Loves to play online
tricks on other bloggers. Ask him what D6fer means. You're in for a
surprise answer.
dailyachesandpains -- She's
your typical, married, 30-something suburban Mom with a toddler. Loves
music, adores Hugh Grant. Her daily aches and pains that nobody really
wants to hear about is just a soft background to a lot of interesting
stories and insights on daily life. (But why did you delete many of
them??? And your pretty pics too! Grrrr!!! ... :-)

evil_twin
-- Kyle
of LA chronicles his unfolding life -- from the adventures of
single-hood, meeting, dating, and eventually getting married to Natalie
(nurse_cutie), to the misadventures of living in a haunted house and a
weird neighborhood. Writes with refreshing wit and honesty.

Fallyn
fatesblade
fearing -- A
nicely functioning dysfunctional female, like all of us she says.
Writes about her sons, the pains of divorce, moving house, dual work as
teacher and librarian, and faith. Has a subtle sense of humor... which
I like :-)

gingersoul
-- A cosmopolitan alien from Italy
stranded in the wilderness of Texas. Beautiful woman from the inside
out. Talks (and writes) with a funny accent, but blogs with the utmost
candor and clarity about her life and loves, her homes and dreams,
friends and family, literature and music, food and wine. Loves the sea,
clouds and chocolate, looks good in high boots. Sometimes chases
butterflies with me. Indisputably in my mind, Soulcast's absolute best
all-around writer, an excellent poet and literary gourmet, and my
all-time favorite.
Glamourgirl
GracefullyGrowing
GrapeKoolaid -- One
of SC's finest writers, shifting easily from light humorous and
personal essays to more serious ones, including forays into SF. A
doodler, music dabbler, critic of human follies, victim of a broken
heart like me, and if you haven't noticed yet, a deeply caring and
insightful man. (Flirt, actually. LOL.) Says he's really into mixing
sodas, Gatorade and Mountain Dew, which he calls Gator Dew. One of his
early blogs inspired me to write a piece about sleep-talking in prison.

HidingPlace88
hidufel
-- profile reads "Cast adrift in the blackest sea of gloom, alone,
forsaken, chased by the relentless hounds of darkness; hope was lost,
that shining beacon of light." easily the most prolific although
low-profile poet at SC. more people should definitely read him.
hinana
Hopelessly_falling
hotaka
-- Lives
in Japan with his girlfriend and lots of photo equipment. Teaches
children, loves to climb mountains (took his name from Mt. Hotaka), and
takes professional-quality pics of nature scenes. His blogs are a rich
tapestry of his life and loves, observations about earth, the sciences,
and human follies. One of SC's finest. We share at least two things: a
common time zone, and a curious interest on pig shit.

juliehalo -- Julie
(also Candylane) lives in a small Midwest town, helps her parents run a
small cafe, now attending college, and hopes to teach children via
Headstart. She says "halo" is Chinook jargon for discovery or
expedition, and thinks of herself as on an expedition through life. I
think she's nice... :-)

killingme4u -- She's
in meds but fights her mood swings in her own unique foul-mouthed way.
Turns blogging about fuckin shit depression into a gritty art form. If
you're a hemorrhoid, get off her ass, she says. I like the way she's
turning out... :-)

Lucytorial
-- Tobi
Lee lives among the rainforests of Oz's northern territory, and is
currently searching... for what, she will tell you when she finds out.
A long-time SC denizen, knows her way around, and holds deep insights
into the human condition. Don't let the sparsity and whimsical tone of
her blogs deceive you. Likes to streak naked through certain blogs,
that happen to include mine.

Magnolia_Books
mamie -- A wonderful friend and a wife, a mom to a daughter, a worker bee (hates lazy), a girlie
girl. Lots of initiative and optimism, has strong opinions although non-judgmental. Stars in her own fairy tale, ballerina non-pareil.
marysaaka
Me-Myself&I -- A
happily green witch, lives simply with her garden down by the Ohio.
Loves rivers, like me. Gives card readings and sensible advice.
Sprinkles magical dust in the wind. A fellow fire monkey who follows
her own trails parallel to mine.

mobil
-- Veteran
of the school of hard knocks, war, and life in the ruggedly beautiful
big skies of Montana. Says he's husband, father, son, brother, uncle,
grandfather and friend -- not necessarily in that order. His
home-on-the-range blogs are endearing, marred only by his odd habit of
deleting them soon after. He and I share a lot more common thinking
than both of us care to admit. My occasional partner-in-crime in
shocking the ladies with grossly outlandish camp lore. The in-house
expert on outhouses.

MsStar39 -- Her
blogs don't entail a heavy dose of personal drama or a long treatise on
political issues; they're basically social commentary about life in
America, in bite-sized nibbles, with a tangy taste and easy to digest.
One of her early blogs, about holding grudges, inspired me to write a
blog about handling zillion-volt grudges.

pickersplock -- She is the Princess with a tiara and
a toaster, and she knows how to use both of them. Her blogs are pure
entertainment: half-puzzle, half-interactive game, an enigma wrapped in a conundrum.
pk2
polarheart
-- A very nice
person from SA, now settled in the UK with Mr Polar and son Tigger, who
is making sense of her life, of her faith, blogging, and tips and
tricks to the Internet. Has made lots of friends here, but she could be
a hard-nosed interrogator if she takes a fancy on you...:-)

regular dude from Miami attends the school of life, one class at a
time. Writes about cosmic beliefs, the supernatural, ESP and other
stuff. Hasn't been blogging lately but his laid-back comments on other
blogs always bring a welcome whiff of Florida sea breeze.

SikariChepiNashota
-- A
Filipina nurse who uses Native American words for her username and
occasionally speaks her native Chabacano, a hybrid of Spanish. She
loves Stephen King, Neruda poems, pets, life in general, and meeting
news friends here. As she puts, "man cuento cuento ya ta!" I like her
style... :-)

Sinai
skald -- Icelandic
lady writes a most steady and consistent journal, enriched with
clean-shot photos, about her extended family, her crafts, her small
island-nation, its history and traditions, and travels. I find her
plain-folks, no-frills blog style endearing.

tbs230 -- current profile says, "raindrops go pitter-patter." why did you delete your past blogs? you write on so many good topics...
the_infernal_optimist -- She's
an infinite emerald soul, wide open to link up with other souls. One of
the more prolific and sensitive writers on the joys and pains of family
life with her DH and two beautiful kids, plus plenty of dreams and
pensives.

TinSoldier
-- A
veteran and a prior-service US Marine and Soldier. A thinking techie, a
family man, a poet. There are probably more layers that will be
revealed... More
bloggers should read him.

TravelGirl
travelr712 -- He says it's not about where you go, it's about how you travel. An intelligent and articulate techie. Love life: he says non-existent. But I suggest you make sure by asking him directly. LOL.
truluv_whocares
truthsayer
Tuesday
Twylarants
-- A
Yankee lady who says she's usually bitching about something and throws
in something funny once in a while. Actually, she finds humor in the
most mundane everyday things -- from trying to stop smoking, to using
trifocals -- and writes interesting stories about them.

wakingharmony -- Margaret
used to believe that she was a human being striving to live a spiritual
life. Now she knows that she is a spiritual being learning to live a
human life. This pretty lady comes from a musical family, is mighty
proud of musical angel daughter and soulmate Lennie. A prolific blogger
who can tackle any topic under the sun, but who, like Crybabylu, has a
bizarre urge to put most of her blog titles in quotation marks... :-)
