I've added two new blogs to the list over there on the right this week, both amazing M women. Mariah and I have been friends since... oh 1997 or 8 I think, when I met her on one of Clint's writer/drinking pub meetings. Before I met her, I had never met another women who had the crazy bursting energy that I did. I was instantly in awe. We've kept in off and on touch over the years. She's someone I would love to spend more time with, but for various reasons (and now that I live in LA) it just doesn't happen that much. The times we have hung out have been great. And what fun to keep in touch with her via her blog.
Then there's Michele. She's a new friend. When I moved to LA last year I knew... oh I think 1 or 2 people. Not many people. I had a pretty big net of friends in the bay area from all walks of life, so it was interesting to go to a new city where I knew no-one. First I tried to get to know the city, then I was wondering how I would find the kind of people I like. You know, my people. People who are like me, think like me, act like me, a place a could "fit" in with all my variations.
As I come out of lurk mode I'm getting to know people for real and letting my own colors out. That's how I met Michele. In my first interactions with her (speakeasy prep) I was blown away. I'm not going to blabber on about how impressed I am, but instead just put her blog up. Check it out, yo!
