Inspirer of.

Posted on May 6, 2008 by Megan

In the last six months I’ve had three people tell me that I helped inspire their blogs. Which is a nice compliment – really – that my blog is pedestrian enough to give the impression that anyone can do the same.

Kidding.

In actual fact – I have greatly enjoyed the posts from all three of these people so far so I’m going to do a little round of introductions:

Grey Wool Knickers – An old anarchist contact from down south who is currently living in Egypt with his sweetie. Writing about cycling in Cairo, tourism, left movements in Egypt, mega-projects on the Nile and the bread crisis. Among other things. Funny, smart and from an interesting place in the world.

Tam the Uke – My friend Tammie from the neighbourhood started her blog recently and although she hasn’t posted for a month I have great hopes for it in the future. Posts about family bullshit and cultural identity. Tam the Uke is funny and her writing is touching because – well – families can be both funny and touching (and even sometimes aggravating). I enjoy reading about the family craziness of other people. It makes me feel better about my own.

Resist, Rant, Relax – In my perfect world everyone would blog. You know, just so I had a semi-regular idea of the emotional health and state of my friends. I’m nosy like that (and sometimes too busy to ask!) So you can only imagine how glad I am that my boyfriend has started blogging. Not only because I like to hear what he thinks about me, but also because he’s got good politics and interesting thoughts and can write. So far his posts have been about me, politics, culture, books, me, trade unions and academia – which is my kind of blog (and would indicate why he’s my kind of guy too I suppose). I’m really pleased with this newest addition to my blogroll so give him some link love and add him to yours – or just stop by and check it out.

Anyone else inspired by me? I could use some extra pats on the head about now 🙂
