So, y’all know I love blogs. I love writing them. I love reading them. I love talking about them. I. Love. Blogs. Lately, though, I’ve found my joie de blog hasn’t been so ebullient. I’ve been reading my favorites, but anything that hasn’t made it to the toolbar has been sadly neglected. I think it’s probably due to my own ennui of late. (I know you’re digging my use of French. It proves I’m no poseur.) I don’t feel I have much to contribute these days, and so I haven’t been looking for new places to go and not contribute.
Tonight, though, I found a renewed love for exploration of the mighty and vast blogosphere. A friend sent a link to this blog. (Hi, Tammi!) Oh, my friends, how I laughed and laughed and laughed. (The Nativity sets? Oh me, oh my — I’m sure if there’s a Hell, I’m going for laughing at those.) But you cannot fathom the utter ecstasy that I felt upon reading this post and discovering at the very bottom of that page a photo of Ree herself, in all her senior year glory.
Now, look, I know that many, if not all of us 80s kids have photos we’d prefer not to share with the world, but admit it — there’s something a little bit delicious about seeing someone so well-known and loved being made fun of alongside the guy with the “bitchinest mullet”. Schadenfreude? You betcha. But it also makes Ree just a little more human, in my eyes, just a little more one of us “reg’lar folks” something I haven’t felt towards her for a very long time, but that’s another post.
At any rate, go read List of the Day. Laugh your asses off. I can’t think of a better way to end 2007…at least a better online way.
