What is up over here? Erica cannot go on hiatus!
I was so ill prepared for any “guest-work” but as many (or at least Erica) know I cannot resist an open blog. I may need to refill my wine for this. Excuse me. Okay, I’m back. *drinks* So, one thing I’d love to share is why I love this little blog so much. Swirlspice was one of the first weblogs I ever discovered. You remember that, right? Finding those sites while surfing the net for something, doesn’t matter what I guess it was different for everyone. Movies, books, recipes, porn? Anyway, you find one of those odd personal sites with stories, opinions, pictures. Strangely addictive…
For me there were four I remember the most. Jonno, Uffish Thoughts, Philo, and Swirlspice. I took time out everyday to read up on these peoples lives. I found it so amazing that they shared so much on the web. I wanted to have a site of my own. They were my inspiration. I especially loved the “slice of life” style here at Swirlspice. That was how I imagined my site to be. Personable. Kind of tough to do in a cold medium like a website.
Anyway, I eventually started my own site at danielphilip.com. It was rough going at first. A look into the archives can tell you that! And one of my earliest links was here at Swirlspice. She’s like blog-family to me, whether she likes it or not!
Hope that iBook is up and running soon Erica! Miss you already!
