Finally! An Big Bad Blogroll!
Stronglyworded is evolving. With my friend R's help, I have delved into some HTML and put up some links.
Allow me to introduce you to two people I actually know IRL (that’s In Real Life to the uninitiated) and a slew of people who I don’t know but admire from afar.
Anything Said is penned by my lovely friend Melinda. She is hilarious, brilliant, and pregnant. In fact, she just "popped".
Extra, Extra! A Canadian career-driven-party-girl becomes a drool-drenched new mother. Debaucherous and Dishevelled is the most honest blog I've ever read, and I love it because for once some of the tough realities of coupledom are explored in full force.
Krissa is a New Yorker married to a British guy. Her blog, Le Petit Hiboux, is an homage to hip urban life, and to writing professionally.
Madness is an artist and a mom who has just moved to CA. She writes a lot about her ass-kicking martial artist daughter, and includes beautiful and intriguing photography almost every week.
Marigoldie describes herself as a "Southern writer in the West living in sin with harried medical". She's been going through some tough times lately, and she's awesome.
Maven is a singer with a very interesting work history. Her writing is tough and funny.
Librarians and other quirky literary people should check out Lacroix's blog. She identifies as "a bad poet, pierced, inked, afferent, a Leo, subversive, rapacious, salacious with addictive tendencies". Her insights on work life are particularly funny.
Quarter Life Crisis is one of my oldest blog-loves. I've been reading it since I started blogging myself. Jenifer (one n!) has written about her wedding planning, her move to Seattle (from SLO aka San Luis Obispo). If you're interested in food, exploring a new city, and beagles, you will love QLC.
Hilary, of Superfluous Juxtaposition, is wicked smart and cool, and includes frequent updates on her baking, friendships, and yes, romance. Wish her well, because she just had a birthday. She personally knows Tamara, the chick I mentioned a while back who met her boyfriend via his blog. They both live in L.A..
Sophie describes her nursing adventures and her move to Houston in The Redhead Has Spoken. She shares my love of Kris Delmhorst.
I wish Julia, who is also a nurse, would post more often, because I love it when she rages against the medical profession and describes her wacky experiences.
I will add two more blogs to the roll once I get my act together. In the meantime, behold the lovely, funny, and compassionate sex therapist Jassy, (who I know IRL) and the equally funny sex-educator "Teacher Lady". Also, I'm linking to a as-yet-anonymous-blogger, an anthropologist chronicling a month on JDate, who may or may not take down the blog once her membership runs out.
Enjoy! I do!

Dori, at the ripe old age of 52, this is the first time in my life that my name and the word "behold" have ever appeared together in the same sentence. I have MUCH to thank you for, including this oh-so-fabulous beholding. Sushi's on me next time!
Ah, thanks for the blog props! I've been stalking you for a long while, too. However, I have to point out that it's SAN Luis Obispo from whence I came to Seattle. Though, my previous boss thought for the longest time that I was from St. Louis, so that when I went to a Seahawks vs. Rams game, he was all, "Your home team!" And I was all, "Huh?"
Thanks so much for the webby shout out and what a brilliant idea too! There are so many people I read these days I should share them with the interwebby. ^_~
