Kim L: I know, it’s hard to realize all the stuff there is to read that there just isn’t time for, a little depressing. And I’m glad you don’t mind being tagged

Oh yay I like tags especially when I don’t have a good topic in mind to blog about.

And it is fun to see where something you put out there ends up getting linked, isn’t it? I actually clicked on links to my Watchmen post, and that’s how I saw your post

Great answers to the meme. I think one of the hardest realizations is that I can’t even begin to read all of the books I currently have on my shelf, much less the books I see on blogs. I love reading, but up until I started blogging, I did not have a stack the way I do now. It just wasn’t that common for me to go to the library on a weekly basis!

Thanks for dong this! And I added the material in the parentheses, so that we get more linkings that way.! Making or breaking rules, is cool, is it not?

L.L. Barkat: That’s a good point too, I hadn’t thought about it that way. I guess we’re all push the rules sometimes

Rebecca: Don’t worry if you can’t do it — I normally don’t tag people on stuff just because I feel like it gets to be an obligation more than something interesting to think about. But, I got such a thrill out of being tagged in something (the first time I have been, that I can tell anyway)that I felt like passing it on today. I’ll go pop in to Book Bloggers Appreciation Week too. I think I missed a lot of the prep and early hype of it because of my move

Hi Kim, I’ll try to do this when I have time. If I don’t I will just break the rules or something….. That is exciting when people tag you: you must have a presence! Thanks for finding me!

(If you’re looking for more hits, make sure you register with Book Bloggers Appreciation week. The number of hits on my site doubled since they posted the list. Of course, most of them are bouncing and not sticking around, but it’s a start, right? They’re going to have a searchable database at the end, so maybe more hits then.)

And maybe too, evidence that bloggers have a little non-conformist in them.

I was thinking how humbling it is to make rules and have others modify them (even though I said “go ahead, break the rules.”) Imagine how humbling it was for God to make the world, set just a few simple rules and watch them go right out the window in no time. : )

bexadler: I know, I’m so excited, and such a dork about it too! I can’t wait to see the results of your assignment

L.L. Barkat: That’s funny, but I like the rule changes — I think maybe they’re more evidence for some of the un-written blogging rules and conventions (tell people you’ve tagged them, linking to people who link to you, etc.) Cool meme!

Oh, this tickled me… someone changed the rules by adding the parenthetical material. I guess that’s part of responding to my suggestion to break the rules! : )

I loved reading all of these, but the one that interested me most was the observation about un-written rules of blogging. So blogging stretches us in surprising social ways. That’s pretty cool. Though some days it might make us feel like we’re back in the cafeteria at school.

I can’t believe you were tagged by Gautami Tripathy. I’d be totally stoked about that too! Off to do my assignment now ;-P
