Blog Buds

Since I'm kind of an unoriginal person at this point in my life, I've decided to talk about the blogs and bloggers I know. Since ranking them as Top Ten or whatever seems to have negative effects on people's egos, I shall not do it in such a fashion. I'll just list 'em as I think of stuff to write!!

• John Sikma-JWS. John's blog is the first I visited and the one that got me hooked on blogging. His blog is one of personal experiences, totally random ramblings, and some political stuff and current events. Although he has once experienced bloggers block, he is always more than willing to help one having technical difficulties and to just talk about random things on IM.
• NL/Notliberal/Steve the Lawyer-In God We Trust. NL's blog is one that you really have to be politically informed to get a whole lot out of. It's pretty interesting when you have a clue what he's talking about. Sometimes there will be interesting posts about random things like girls in the guys locker rooms and stuff like that, which breaks up the complicated posts.
• James Lanning-Set it Off. James' blog is one frequented by pretty much everyone. He has all the cool stuff, so maybe that's why. He's got music set up for one's perusal, as well as what he calls the RandomChat box, which is similar to IM with it being open to everyone who visits. He tends to spaz when the comments aren't about his post, so when he's gone there tends to be mass chaos!!
• Loretta Lanning-In My Opinion. Loretta is sister to both James and Evie. Camo is her beau, and she tries her best not to mention him too much, but slips on occasion. Then, however, after getting grief, she will delete the post. She has a thing about proper spelling, and if one doesn't use it she will succumb to comment Nazism and delete the comment.
• Evie Lanning/Eva Lemmon-Yes, I have no Bananas. Evie's randomness can be matched by none. Her blog consists of posts about people with strange names living in far away places and various other random things. She has a leaning towards coconuts, and she loves to keep track of when certain people attempt to offer their therApy services.
• Cramp Bottom/craMp/Marion Lanning-The ministry of Vocabulary. craMp is, as the title of the blog would suggest, an insane individual intent on saving the world through good spelling and grammar. craMp has a particular liking for threatening to deport anyone who uses "IMspeak" to Neptune.
• Mark Jurries-Gimme Back My Bullets. Mark's blog posts range from political to completely random. He's starting a Great American Novel, and has completed the first word!! Its quite impressive and VERY profound!! Mark is self proclaimed dictator of the MOV, and if you get in his way he will happily deport you to Neptune along with Cramp. Very charming person, this Mark!!
• Charles Jurries/echuckler/Chuck-The Delta Institute. Chuck is a very interesting person. His posts range from current events and politics like NL, to very strange and unusual stories about Glu-Glus like Evie. His blog boasts a question/comment feature he calls the Grab Bag. As a photographer, Chuck also posts lots of picture of his travels.
• Janna Jurries-Penultimate Grooviness. Janna is one of the most recent bloggers to join the circle. Her very first post garnered a whopping 53 comments!! Obviously, her popularity is at a high point right now. She has a fear of red hat ladies that is always a good conversation topic!!
• Maggie-Don't write yourself off yet.... Maggie's blog is prone to technical difficulties. More often then not something is malfunctioning, prompting all of us Blogger blogs to tell her that they are far superior to the service she is using. We're not sure if its working yet. Maggie's posts have a definent emotional twinge sure to touch everyone in some way.
• Bonnie McDonald-The Blog of Bonnie J. Bonnie is in a family of traveling singers and has been compared by some to the VonTrapp family. Her blog chronicles her life and often mentions her travels.
• Scarlett Miskin-The Life and Thoughts of Me!. Scarlett, like me, was inspired to start a blog around the same time I did. Her posts are very entertaining. Currently in her home country of South Africa, she even finds time to update us on the goings on over there.
• Abigail Boorsma/born2fly/Abbs-Not Another Blond Moment. Abbs joined the bloggers so she could comment on my blog (not the brightest out there, not realizing she could comment as other or anonymously, but that's ok). She posts somewhat infrequently, but when she does post you can be sure it will be well worth the wait. She has an undying love for Johnny Depp, which has shown through in the last few posts, as well as one for BOOOOOOOOOOB;-)
• Shannon/SDK-Green Apples from the Sky. SDK's blog is one of the ones I enjoy a great deal. Her first post, about a search for a man who had been lost in the greater Grand Rapids area, caught my attention right away. Upon talking to her on IM and checking out her Missing You website, of which she is the founder here in MI, I was very impressed. Her blog tells of her day to day life, and her recent struggles with a broken foot.
• Petunia McGillicuddy-Hello, World!!. Petunia's blog is one that makes me think whenever I read it. She is a volunteer for many interesting causes, and writes about her experiences, mixed with other interesting things. Although I may not agree with many of her viewpoints, I like how I can disagree with her and her comrades and still feel ok. A very interesting blog to peruse.
• Miranda, Ben, Chaz, Fromstien, and Herman- Chaz came upon John's blog, and after that I came to know him and the other people from Canada. I really enjoyed talking to Ben at one point on IM. Miranda found their blogs and instigated an all out blogwar that was hilarious in and of itself. Her blog, along with the four others, are irreverent and probably not exactly what some would approve of, but are a fun read none the less.

That took a VERY long time to compile, but that's ok:-) Hopefully everyone is pleased with their descriptions...and if not I'm SURE I'll hear about it!!
