Great Bloggy Bling Orgy - Grand Finale

This is the promised Day 3 of the Great Bloggy Bling Orgy. The ONLY reason I'm still doing this is because I don't want to leave anyone out that I didn't include in the first two days. As it is, I'm still not going to be able to get to everybody I'd REALLY like to give something to, but with the Blogroll thing I'm working on, I'll be able to point people at everybody, at one time or another. And I will often be reminding people to pick one from the blogroll that they've never been to before, and drop by. Because I asked. Nicely.

Now - this time the rules are going to change, only because I (and certain other bloggers whom I love and respect and really don't want to piss off [kidding about the piss off thing]) have come to some conclusions about this process that have led to a cessation of Award giving in the future, for me.

The rule is simple. Give it to someone if you wish to. Don't give it to anybody if that's your wish. It is not my desire to inflict "Sophie's Choice" on anybody, any longer. So it's up to you.

This is, again, the third time I'm giving this one away:



To all of the following:

BendyGirl of BenefitScroungingScum. She fights Ehlers Danlos Syndrome every day, as does my wife - and the English Benefits System as necessary.

ConverseMomma of Ordinary Art. She is one of the most powerful writers I read.

Veronica of Lonely Roads and Psycho Paths. She, as well, another extremely powerful writer. And one of my story reviewers. UPDATE - Yes, her name REALLY is Veronica - not Jennifer as originally reported.

Eric of Ruminations of a Small Town Mountain Boy. He took part in David's Past Lives. He, too, is an excellent writer.

Employee No. 3669 of The Random Memorandum. Warm, witty, wise - and she lives 20 minutes away from me. We have not met yet. For coffee.

Holly of AnglophileFootballFanatic. An amazing woman for whom I have the utmost respect.

Holly of Tropic of Mom: Life at Latitude 26. Living life in paradise - or at least, nearby, in Florida.

Tranny Head of Law school sucks - and so do lawyers. Mother of Sumo (BIG boy toddler), third year law student whose husband is in Iraq. And somehow she holds it together.

Allison of Angelgal's Realm. A good Christian woman whose concerns are close to her home. And close to all of us, if you think about it.

Rebecca of Ramblings By Reba. Excellent photogapher. We have boundaries set. Which I don't cross. Mostly.

Eve Grey of Shut My Mouth. Not a blog-every-day woman - but she's worth waiting for. She finishes this list. She is not least. She is not last. There is no rank among these people I have singled out. They are all excellent bloggers and worth your time - I know that they're worth mine.

There are more. They will show up in the Blogroll feature I am planning. And once in a while I will prompt you to poke around the blogroll. Look around for a blog you've never been to. And stop by and say "Hi!" And tell 'em, "Lou sent you".
