Happy Bloggeversary, Emily!

Emily has been blogging for a year today. And she's updated EVERY SINGLE DAY (often times more than once a day) since starting idontthink.

Happy blogging birthday, Emily! And thank you, because your blogging has really been our gain. I think I speak for everyone who reads your site (and subsequently mine too, because I'm only here and being read in the first place thanks to you!) when I say that reading what you have to say is always a daily highlight. You deserve all the good that's come out of this for you, and I have a feeling that this is merely the beginning.

Here's to many more and regular (if not daily) posts! And tiara happy hours!

P.S. You say you still feel like the "new kid," but it certainly doesn't reflect in your writing ability. In fact, I was quite surprised when you said a few days ago that this is only your first blogging anniversary, because you're such a pro.

I concur. She's our grand-blogger. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
