And I think Schmutzie pulls off a very difficult feat - writing openly and authentically about many deeply personal aspects of her life, while preserving her privacy, and that of those around her. Any blogger who wishes to be more "naked", without feeling completely exposed, could learn a lot from Schmutzie.</p> <p>And have a mighty fine read into the bargain!</p> <p>Blog: <a href="http://www.multidimensional.me.uk/">Multidimensional.Me</a></p> Sun, 18 Jun 2006 02:33:12 -0500 Koan comment 4872 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/node/6248 <p><em>JenB can also be read on her blog <a href="http://www.jenandtonic.ca">jenandtonic.ca</a></em></p> <p>If we are going to talk about Canadian bloggers, we (meaning me) would be remiss if I didn't tell you about Schmutzie from <a href="http://schmutzie.blogspot.com/">milk money or not here i come</a>. Like a lot of the ladies I talk about on here, Schmutzie makes me think I need to put in several more hours of work on the blog. Both in writing, design, thought, photography, and grammar lessons. Schmutzie is a writer. I don't really consider myself a writer, I don't have the talent and gift that this lady does. I am not just self deprecating, I am a fine bulleted list maker and I can swear my way thought a decent post, but this girl has it going on... </p> <p>She is modest, and says of her blog:</p> <blockquote><p>I tend to indulge in run-on, over-hyphenated, and listy sentences with many commas. I go on about my childhood at times. I also throw in one of my own poems occasionally. I know these issues make for difficult times, but if you can overcome these hurdles, enjoy.</p></blockquote> <p>No, I didn't just pick Schmutzie because she loves cats. I know you were thinking it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenandtonic/163791319/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/52/163791319_3528349c7a_o.jpg" width="220" height="165" alt="schmutzie" /></a><br /> <br /></p> <p>Perhaps I like her blog so much because she uses my kind of language though.</p> <blockquote><p>I am a sizeable twat. (Not that I have anything whatsoever against twats. I just like the sound of the word. Sometimes when someone says something to me, I like to say Twat? I didn't hear you, because I think that shit's funny, and the other person usually doesn't catch on). </p></blockquote> <p>I will just say that if you aren't reading <a href="http://schmutzie.blogspot.com/">milk money or not here i come</a>, you suck. She is truly one of the best in Canada.</p> http://www.blogher.com/node/6248#comments Life Canada Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:18:54 -0500 JenB 6248 at http://www.blogher.com
