Project Stranger Danger

I'm a terrible blogger (no news there) and an even worse friend.

The impossibly gorgeous Duchess Jill, who is the brains AND beauty ('tis so unfair to be so fair AND to possess cleverness!) behind the Royally Kind Blogging Event - wherein participants have to be kind towards strangers and then blog about it - has asked those of us who are participating to post a reminder about the project in order to promote it and perhaps get some last minute bloggers on board.

Typically, I'm way too late in posting (sorry, darling!), but perhaps she will still accept a few late entrants? Or perhaps enter some names for next time? Luckily she didn't mistake my silence for withdrawal from the event, so I'm still included! And I'll be blogging about how I've accosted... I mean... been strange towards... I mean... been kind towards a stranger this Thursday, 5 August. I'm also going to the dentist that afternoon (which is a scientifically proven, major accomplishment for a redhead, since we're such a fragile lot), so I might also be dead by then, in which case my posting will occur posthum(our)ously.

But, on the upside, while I wait for my Novocaine to wear off (or the formaldehyde to kick in), you'll also be able to read a few acts of kindness posts from these other lovelies on the 5th:

Paige: http://www.redefiningthemeaningofwealth.com

Andree: http://andreebelle.wordpress.com/

Crystal: http://plushpalate.blogspot.com/

Can't wait to see what all of them will get up to! I sincerely hope I get to live to find out!

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!)
