Oh and I love Twitter. :)
Facebook is crap, but Twitter is fantastic. -
The best thing about the Net for me - the amazing amount of people that are suddenly a part of my world. The world has become huge and it still amazes me that I get to experience interaction with all these people.
It also still amazes me that I get to put my own writing out there and create on my own terms! And people read it and enjoy it (thanks Islander :D)
And perhaps this is too personal a reason but the net introduced me to my now-husband. I didn't know there was someone out there who I would so instantly connect with. I still remember the moment we did instantly connect and, yes, it happened on the net. I just think that is unbelievably cool.

Well, I waited a day, but hey, you must have expected it, right
*whispers quietly* I love Richard Cheese. *shame*

Just a wee note further to Jolisa's post too... *coughs*

Now the kid from Freaks and Geeks is instantly recognisable, despite being so much larger, in his role on Bones.
That's where I know him from!

My best books so far this year have been wildly diverging - Wolf Hall and Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
Both madly entertaining but in totally different ways. -
Word to the mother(s). Just sayin'. (Note: Mine rocks.)
Mine so rocks too. I knew she did, but have recently found out just how much since having to sort of instantly take on the type of role with 12y.o.
I had no idea she had so subtly implanted such good habits and knowledge in me. Sneaky mum!

What happened to great words like 'strumpet' and 'harlot' and 'hussy'?
Or, my personal favourite, "painted harlot and bride of Satan!".

Here, take my advice, I'm not using it...

Yay, Jolisa's here!
I was tossing up whether to blog about this but in the end decided not to (i.e. got distracted by cats). But "brouhaha" was exactly the word I was going to use. Possibly it would also have been less of a brouhaha if it hadn't involved Stead? But then, of course, possibly such a story would have never even been written.
I also got distracted making a list of "literary gossip" blog names. You know the sort of thing - Go Fug Yourself, Go Plug Yourself. D-Listed, Short-Listed. Perez Hilton, Dun Brown. TMZ, ISBN.
But Stead's comment about Keri Hulme was a petty dig. And he used "attend" in a way that just makes me think of Phantom of the Opera "Christine, attend."
