BIF!

KathyHowe’s bringing back the BIF.

Blog it ForwardDon’t know the rules? No problem. This is easy. All you have to do is either on your own blog or in the comments here say something nice about someone. It could be someone in your every day life, someone from your family, someone you know online or a complete stranger. I don’t care who you pick – oh hell – pick MANY someones if you want. Just say something nice about somebody.

And, you know, she said super nice things about me, so who am I to not do as she commands? Because KathyHowe? I adore her. Seriously.

I try not to repeat folks I’ve BIFed, because there are plenty of cool people to spread the love around to, ya know? Y’all all know I luh ya. That said, on to my picks.

  1. popcultist – This is my friend Tony, who is married to my friend Brandy, whom I know from college. Tony is that perfect combination of smart and witty and funny. He’s one of those guys that knows at least a little bit (but probably more) about a lot of things, so he’s always fun to talk to.
  2. funchilde – Dia makes me proud to be a blogmother. All the vague dreams of world travel that I’ve ever had, she’s already lived them. She’s currently out being the coolest staff person ever to set foot on a boat for Semester at Sea. She leaves me the nicest notes and always has something very astute, poignant, and encouraging to say just when I need to hear it.

You should, of course, feel free to BIF yourself. (Heh. That sounds dirty. Not as dirty as “diddle” but you know.)

    erika, you have no idea how much i needed that right now. i have had the CRAZIEST couple of days. I’m stuck in between hong kong (AMAZING!) and Beijing at a crazy little knick knack store doing e-mail in their rigged up backroom with exposed wires and all of the computer @#$@ is in Chinese! thanks for the shout out blogmother. and am waiting on those “details” but mostly sending sunshine your way that your spring is truly “sprung” in all the phenomenal ways you deserve. Now get your choir/prayer circle/shamman to send some good vibes that I don’t get stabbed in my sleep at my crazy hostel tonite!

    [blushing]*

    Thanks for the extremely kind words. Unfortunately, I now feel the need to be witty and that well’s run dry at the moment.

    For those who avoid MySpace like the plague that it is, feel free to click on the URL link in the “Posted by:” line. I also put everything up on Blogger. Because I’m just that geeky.

    Also, I’m late for work and trying to think of something appropriate to write about the Virginia Tech tragedy and calling E-Trade about their stupid envelope confusion (pre-paid return envelopes that don’t match the address to which they tell you to mail your paperwork) and writing an overly-long comment on your blog, so I’ll be back to address all this later tonight.

    Thanks again! (Even though I’ve been BiF’ed.)

    * – not really blushing, but honored nonetheless

    Since I’ve already BIF’d myself I might try diddling myself next. ;^)
