You know, I thought about whether or not I should link to this person or not. I’ve decided to. I’m discussing Discussing Dooce at the moment.

I do not understand the phenomenon that is Dooce myself. But I’m definitely one of her readers. I identify with her struggles. I identify with her triumphs. As for putting her whole family out there on the web? Well and so what? Aren’t we all to varying degrees of anonymity? And if Leta is embarrassed when she’s older? My idea – which I’m sure Heather has already thought of – would be to write her very OWN blog. And you know what? That would be okay too.

And Dooce IS a phenomenon… She has her own verb! I’ve been Dooced! I’ve used the term myself.

My point is this… Who cares if she has comments. Who cares if she doesn’t interact with the blogging “community?” That’s her freakin’ choice. And considering what’s out there – I’m not sure I’d want to communicate either.

I just don’t understand the need for a whole site to knock one person. I mean how hard would it be to just not read?

Game 4: My favorite animal… In general is a horse. In specific, is my cat Sassy.

Horses in general are just such intelligent magestic animals, and each individual horse has such a unique personality!

Sassy is named for her personality. She’s funloving and affectionate. And she sleeps with me every night. And I didn’t want to get so attached.

Special Request: Dirty Butter asked me to post this link to a post on her site… It’s important to her to help this girl. Go check it out and see if you have ny ideas where she can find this special item.
