I want to live with a cinnamon girl...

"Now there's an interesting looking site."


As I walked across the landscape of the blogosphere a couple of nights ago I happened upon a most interesting soul. From the moment I began perusing her profile I couldn’t help but notice how many interests we seemed to share in common. She reads many of the same books I read and it is as if she is a musical clone of what I’ve been listening to for years.

At first I thought she was simply a blog about knitting. There is nothing wrong in blogs about knitting, but I usually prefer blogs with a bit more topical depth to them. However, as I continued reading her older posts I soon discovered how wrong I’d been in my first impression.

By the time I finished reading about her adventures I’d met her well dressed husband, a good friend of hers named Jane and a couple of groovy looking dogs. Oh, did I mention that my new friend is a midwife?

Did I mention that she gardens? How about the fact that she kayaks? Oh, I almost forgot, she travels to exotic places like Thailand and takes wonderful photos of her adventures. The variety and pure volume of her activities exhausted me just reading about them. I can’t imagine how she finds the time to participate in everything she does.

Now, I seem to have developed something of a reputation for introducing interesting people to one another on my blog. It just seems to be something I’m good at and if that is my unique blogging talent then I’m happy to contribute to the community in my own small way.

With that being said, I’m kinda of worried about making this introduction. You see, two of my very best blogger friends are wizened wizard and pepper. They are two very special women and both are cut from a different cloth than most of the rest of us. They are true outdoors women. They embody the pioneer spirit of the women’s movement and I love the example they set for younger girls to emulate.

Why am I afraid of introducing them to my new friend? Folks, I get the feeling that when these three women get to communicating back and forth we may never hear from any of them ever again. As much as the rest of you are going to enjoy meeting TutleyMutley, I believe the wizard and pepper are going to fight over who gets to adopt her first.

Well, as usual I’ve made the introductions. Now, it is up to you to stroll over and welcome to the neighborhood a pioneer woman I hope will become the newest member of the wonderful community that seems to be developing around here.

Without further adieu I give you, TutleyMutley.

Cool I often hit the next blog button and meet new blogs. You can find interesting blogs. In fact I visted a blog that is built around that premise.

Just one problem, if I start reading too many more blogs it's going to take me the whole day just to read them all!

Ooooh, another blog to visit frequently. Like I needed any more.... *sigh* Ahhhhh well, certainly looks like a nice one. Ya know, if I'm not careful I'm never gonna be visiting YOU, because I'll be spending so much time visiting all my other "neighbours" that you've introduced us to. ;)

Thanks for the new reading material! There are such interesting people out there in blogland. Sometimes people are judged by whatever post they have up, when in fact, the entire blog consists of so much more.

We all are working our way upstream; some of us are slightly more experienced in maneuvering the boat. TutleyMutley seems to have some wonderful things in her kayak.

She would be quite comfortable in the enchanted forest (and would find several like-minded souls here, as well as some wonderful places to paddle).

Wizards don't fight with each other... nor do we disappear on our friends...

Don't worry, sweet one.

Oh I love Type O negatives version of cinnamon girl...Now I will have to go and dig it out for a listen.

I wish I had the time to make the effort to visit new blogs I have trouble keeping up with my regulars, as you well know!

Go Dirk!

Did I call you "sweet one"?? My bad!

Burn me at the stake indeed! ZAP! You've been STAR-STRUCK!!

That would mean watching them on TV, wouldn't it? Didn't I tell you we cut the cable to the satellite dish? No more TV in this part of the forest!

But okay, I've buried the hatchet. (The first time, I accidentally buried it in Gnome Istoo Luvim's thick skull, but he didn't even notice, so I removed it and... huh? You don't want to hear about it? Oh, okay.)

Where were we? Oh yes. Buckeyes. Rah. No... RAH!!!

I think you're just afraid I'll STAR-strike your team...

I wonder if she would knit me a custom codpiece?

I don't really want one; I just wonder if she would do it.

You have put me in a difficult situation... Having checked with Google Gnome, I am informed that the buckeye nut is considered a good luck charm, relieves pain of arthritis and rheumatism (something the damned carpal pain in my thumb could certainly use), and resembles the eye of the buck deer. It is eaten by many of my gentle forest friends.

But - as you are well aware - wizards also love and protect the predators of the forest... The gator may be reviled by the masses, but if one looks hard enough, a smidgen of good can be found deep in his cold heart. He too must eat.

Buckeye, gator... gator, buckeye... buckeye, gator. Oh, all right, I'll side with the gentle creatures this time: Go Buckeyes!

Dear Mr. Star,

I do not knit. Although I enjoy knitted things. I once tried to knit my husband a wanker warmer, but used an inferior wool and the whole thing did not turn out well.

I shall visit your new friend.

Thank you for your support--

I AM, indeed to goodness, very nice. I am also overwhelmed by all those visitors! In fact I think I'll have to go lie down.
What a great write up -
Does this mean I now have to keep my blog up to date? I mean, no pressure, ay?


Thank you soooooo much Dirk-Star and a huge hug all round. mwah! mwah!

Oh yes, and before I forget, custom codpiece? Hmmmm. I will go away and contemplate this, Zen Wizard.

Or maybe I'll just stick to reading the latest Christopher Moore purchase - Cayote Blue - which is more of the same ilk.
