You know what’s really frightening about guest blogging?

June 18th, 2008 at 6:00 am . Posted in guest post .

Everything.

All of it.

I mean, it can be daunting enough coming up with a neat topic to write about in your own blog, but when it’s time to do so for someone else it can be really nerve wracking. It’s all about figuring out what to write and – OMG – what if her regular readers really hate this entry?

Then there’s the fear of writing something completely offensive. I can do that in my own neck of the internets but it’s kinda rude to sit at someone else’s dinner table spouting off about S&M or George Dubbya.

Somehow, those two topics fit perfectly in the same sentence. At least in my twisted world.

So why’d you accept the invitation to guest blog?

Shuddup. Nobody asked for your sensible questions.

Actually, in all honesty? I {heart} teh Jamie. I do. And yes, I spelled that wrong on purpose.

Just to throw you for a loop.

Miss J is off in the wonderful land of the Mouse and I might be a smidge envious. Oddly enough, this comes at the same time that most of my co-workers are down in the same area for work shenanigans.

Eh, that’s really neither here nor there.

Ever wonder why this mouse has become such a staple in America? Why wasn’t it some cartoony version of a frog? Or mayhaps even a talking tree? Or a slug!

Technically speaking, a mouse is a rodent and those can be kinda gross.

But not Mickey. He’s just all kinds of awesome. McAwesome, even.

To end this slightly erratic and nonsensical post, I would like to note that I will meet teh Jamie and a crap ton of fantastic bloggers in Chicago in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!

Oh, and in case you’re wondering who this is… I am the one called Deutlich from Speak On It. Hope you’ve enjoyed the reading. If you’re in Chicago, I hope to see you soon!

    General theme of OHL guest posts?

    “What the hell is she thinking, leaving me the keys to her blog??”

    I often do wonder why the decided to glorify a mouse. In pictures they may be cute…but usually when someone see’s a mouse in real life, the reaction is not too cuddly.

    Great post D. :)

    E – ha! and I think that’s awesome (the google reader thing)

    Chris – Aw, thanks dude. Seriously. And that you could recognize it was me right away? Somehow more complimentary than you probably even intended. Thank you. I’m flattered.

    Meghan – Thank you sweetheart! I really.. really..really appreciate that. Don’t worry! I’m positive yours will be awesome.

    No – I knew how it would sound as a fellow writer I knew you’d appreciate it.

    You have a distinct “voice” which is about the nicest thing I think I could say about a writer.

    Oh! Bonus. I got you in two places today. Nice.

    When I was a kid and went to Disney I was terrified of Mickey. He was huge! In the cartoon he was all small. I didn’t get it.
