The final last post
Drat you, Betsy, for being someone I can’t refuse a lot. Certainly not a blog post, in any case.
She gave me a “Gorgeous Award” for reasons that are best left unexplored lest they do not stand up to scrutiny. As a grateful acceptant, I am to list six things relating to myself that are generally unknown, and mention six blogs or bloggers I consider gorgeous.
I will hijack the ceremony and also use it as a thank-you for some of my best friends in the blogosphere, as I leave behind this blog and this pseudonym.
Six little-known things about me:
1. I have very feminine arm veins.
2-6. As I laid in my bed last night and watched the clock turn to 00:00, signalling that I have spent a quarter-century on this here planet, it was tempting to be depressed by the fact that I have 10 euros and 14 cents in my bank account, live with my dad, and am still entirely without my degree (my degree, MINE). But there are ten people in this world who know me through and through – with warts, dirty laundry, crises in academics, faith, and family, my laziness, my excuses, and all, and still think I’m an okay person. This is a mind-boggling high number.
I have tried, and failed, to write down what these people mean to me. It took me four hours, and this is what I came up with: they’re my greatest inspiration, because I love them, not because they love me. And they’re my greatest support, because they love me, not because I love them. Also, “love” utterly fails as a word. Come on.
All other things about me are irrelevant.
Now, six gorgeous ladies I loved blogging with:
1. Anima
2. Vicky
3. Puella, now sadly blogless
4. Mrs. Powell (I can’t not call her Mrs., she’s a mum)
5. Little Flowers
6. Rosamundi
And six gorgeous blogs that make me squeal whenever they update:
1. Practical Ethics
2. Laatste dag
3. Finslippy
4. Ask Sr. Mary Martha
5. Backreaction
6. Morning Coffee Physics
This, I hope, will give you enough to read now that this blog has come to an end! “Notio bonum, visa olum” means something like “it seemed like a good idea back then”. That, it certainly did. Now, it seems like a good idea to stop!
