To all my friends in my blogroll
This post is bout the people ive put on my blogroll...but before i get there...a little background story...
A 50% weightage of my Media: Australia & Global goes towards a silly 2500 word essay that ive to cough up by June...10% of which is a sillier 'essay proposal' that ive to magically conjur up before 21st March to give my tutor a better understandin of what im about to attempt to do...
As luck would have it...we're given 9 topics to choose from...the lazy bastard in me decided to knock back some beers and take the easy route...ive decided to write bout weblogs...or more conveniently known as blogs...i mean...what better topic to write about than bloggin...it's an activity that started off as a slight interest 17 months ago that...somehow...along the way...graduated to a little obsession that i took to...
Anyway...like i usually do...i digress...
Havin spent so many weeks away from my blog...ive gradually grown to miss it...sometimes even think bout it like a little child...ive nurtured and maintained it...taught it good things...fed it with a plethora of healthy journalism and bad language...and sometimes even lamented to it...my joys...trials...and soulfood...ive cried to it...talked to it...and even reflected on it...it's like my 2nd micheLe...
Ok im freakin myself out now...hehe...
Ive been spendin lots of time on the people on my blogroll...my 'friends'...or people ive gotten to know over the year just through their blogs...as im not physically able to blog as often (as all of you would know)...i thought i should check on the people ive communicated with before i left for Melbourne...not all of them know of my existence...some of them are just blogs ive been followin since day 1...whereas others are people ive grown attached to either through genuine friendship or a shared interest...i reckon this would be a rather interestin way to sell their site (do i get some brownie points for that?)...so time permittin...id post an update on 'my friends' should i see fit...
I'll start from the top of my blogroll:
