The Blog and Blogger Meme

by Grace on August 31, 2007

This was originally called The Blog Crush Meme but since I think I am too old ~~and too married~~ for the word crush, I renamed it.

1. What was the first blog you read? The very first blog I ever read was Accidental Mother. She writes about single parenting with humor, as if it is a piece of cake – which I know is not. Also, I started reading Supermom Melany’s blog since three years ago – - one of the first family blogs I stumbled.

2. Do you still read that blog? Yes, but Accidental Mother rarely posts now. I still read Supermom’s blog up to this very day.

3. Do you have a blog crush, in other words, is there a blogger you’d love to meet? Not a crush, but an admiration and respect. I would love to meet The New Parent and learn his cool and meaningful parenting style.

4. Upon meeting would you crumble and mumble under the pressure, blurt out something incoherent, or blush madly? I don’t function well when nervous or under pressure. I’d sweat a lot even if it’s dead cold in winter. So I probably will still blurt out words normally but my heatbeat is twice as fast.

5. If you could have a long, leisurely lunch with one blogger whom you’ve never met, who would it be? With ONE blogger only? I would love to meet so many!!

On top of my head, I’d love to meet Melba. She is currently in Tokyo doing her research study. We get along really well and instantly clicked minutes after we were introduced to each other by our common friend. We talk a lot, sometimes we forget we haven’t even met yet! If I were in Japan right now, I would take a train to Tokyo and see her. Too bad Ginee (our common friend) introduced us to each other only after my move to Dubai.

and speaking of hopping over to Japan, I would love to meet Tanabata. Book readers are inteligent and interesting people and she is no exception.

I would also love to meet Sabine. Our email conversations are almost endless!

And then there’s Kailani. I will be bringing my daughter if I meet her. Our girls will surely have fun.

..then I’d hop on to NZ and have a warm cocoa with Cheryl!

See? I can’t decide! If I can, I’d love to meet all. Since that is physically, geographically impossible, I am glad we all have this one common meeting place called the blogosphere where we can talk and interact with each other in the comfort of our own homes (or offices).

No jet lag!
