I was just telling some folks the other day about how a particular group of people are often surprised by some aspect of my personality. They claim to know me pretty well but when it comes down to it, they really don’t…
And look at this little quizzy – interesting, eh?

I’ve been thinking about Blog Day for almost a full month and everytime I thought I had found a blog that fit the criteria, I changed my mind. It was hard to find blogs by people who were really not like me. Seems odd, doesn’t it? I mean I’m a lesbian, I have six kids, I homeschool one and only one, I work from home in a job that very few people have, I hate sports and watch almost no television and I do not cook. Surely I could find lots of blogs that are not “like me”. Nope, it’s hard to find differences when you are really looking for them (which might be an us/them lesson)
After a month long search, here’s what I’ve got for you. Visit them, let me know what you think and let them know you stopped by!
The Happy Catholic I found this blog via my friend Shelly’s blogroll and I peek in there every now and then to see what’s going on. The Happy Catholic is really nothing like me, except she has good taste in movies and TV. Other than that, we probably disagree. Still, I have always enjoyed going to her blog. What do you think?
PyroManiac I found this one a few weeks ago when surfing for something about comic books. I was surprised, to say the least. Interesting point of view here and interesting use of comic books.
Leylop’s Blog This one got tossed into a note pad on my desktop a long time ago, when Michelle was studying up on Thailand and Singapore and Malaysia after the Tsunami. I hadn’t visited in a very long time and I’m glad I noticed it in my notepad last week. Great pictures, nice look at her life.
Babalu Blog Again, thanks to Michelle and her Spanish class we found this one! Michelle was researching Cuba and stumbled into this interesting look at Cuban Americans and Cuban politics. Cool stuff.
Kathang Pinay I found this one today in my search for one last really PERFECT blog for today’s celebration. I clicked randomly into the archives and found interesting things with every click. Having lived in the Philippines (and giving birth to two American children there who like claiming dual citizenship), this one really touched home for me.

Profgrrrrl posted this little Book Meme. I’m amused that I got Animal Farm. I’m an Orwell fan, much to Michelle’s chagrin since I made her read 1984 last year (and watch the movie, too). As much as I like this “hopelessly idealistic to tragically jaded” and agree that it is ME, I’m sort of sad that I didn’t get Lolita. I miss my “old image” sometimes. 😉
You’re Animal Farm!
by George Orwell
You are living proof that power corrupts and whoever leads you will
become just as bad as the past leaders. You’re quite conflicted about this emotionally and waver from . Ultimately, you know you can’t trust pigs. Your best moments are when you’re down on all fours.

OK did you see this Top 10 from Letterman – Top 10 signs your kid is spending too much time on the internet. (thanks to Mary Mary Quite Contrary) Sounds more like the Top 10 signs that you’re spending too much time blogging to me.
10) Seems a pretty common thing for Bloggers too, doesn’t it? I mean when you see Dooce in person, you say DOOOOOOCE!!!!! You don’t say HEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!, right?
9) Hmm sales pitch? How about a link pitch? Because women ARE learning to ask for links, right? Or how about just a pitch for blogging in general. Aren’t we all trying to coax friends, family members, coworkers and weird strangers we meet at Starbucks into blogging?
8) Ha, I want a poster of Scoble and Wonkette!
7) I call it being infected with comment creeps.
6) No promdate via blogging but I’m not ruling out a regular date, are you?
5) On the iPod? PODCASTS and MORE PODCASTS!
4) Don’t we all have Wired magazines under our beds?
3) That’s the male bloggers, the women have people skills like Martha Stewart and Rosie.
2) Bloggers either have to move to the country or to the big city so they can moblog weirdos or cool wildlife scenes.
1) Googling yourself is so yesterday, but we’ve all technoratied ourselves today, haven’t we?

Which Blogs Would I Take to a Desert Island? (click the link back to where I saw this and then click the link to the original. Interesting.)
This was hard. It’s been in the back of my mind all morning and when I was sifting through my feeds during a little break I just took I think I was able to narrow it down. I think.

| You are Agonistic |
 You’re not sure if God exists, and you don’t care. For you, there’s no true way to figure out the divine. You rather focus on what you can control – your own life. And you tend to resent when others “sell” religion to you. |
