Last week - wow, that seems a long time ago - I handed out the hugs and kisses to Avi.
This week poses a bit of a dilemma for me. This week’s blog love goes out to a woman whose blog I cannot link to - or rather, will not.
You see, this woman is not near the attention whore that I am. In fact, if you want to know her views on just about anything you have only to figure out what my views are and calculate the exact opposite opinion, and there she’ll be.
Less about me, more about her - I’m not linking her blog because when she moved from her old blog to her new one, she asked us not to go all link happy to her. She describes as a sounding board - whereas mine is more like a billboard. And, specifically, she’s got some crazy ass people out in the world who are pretty hell bent on reading her damn blog.
Anyhoo - Miss Ann (that’s this week’s blog love recipient, by the way) seems to most to be a tough cookie. But that’s not why I’m giving her special blog love.
Nor am I giving her my extra special brand of lesbian love because of her amazingly vast knowledge of music, or her love of Prince, or her common-sense, no nonsense, ass kicking when necessary brand of blogging.
No, I’m giving her to out of respect. And genuine admiration. Because although we disagree on almost everything - we both agree with one another’s rights to our own opinion.
You see, Miss Ann has this knack for being able to state her own ideas with such force and conviction that a weaker person might cower at her feet, afraid of pissing off the “Blog Rah”. And if that person were found quivering at her feet, Miss Ann would probably kick their ass and tell them to grow a god damned backbone and quit worrying so much about what SHE thinks and start having a little more confidence in what THEY think.
She’s cool like that.
I love a woman who understands that her own strength is not threatened by strength in others. In fact, it takes true strength of conviction to encourage strength in others.
I also love anyone who can come up with this little kernel of brilliance:
“Everything is not always about you, or about me. Sometimes it’s about US. Sometimes it’s about human nature.”
So here’s to Miss Ann - soft, but never squishy, warm, but seldom weak, inviting, but with enough brains to understand boundaries and reality.
Should you be driving yourself nuts to find her…
Think Oh My Fucking God, What The Fuck… and, er, add the last letter of my favorite word to that. And then, um, a “.com”.
And if you are smarter enough to figure that out - she just may welcome you there. ;-)

It’s like an enigma wrapped in a conundrum!
Aaaaawwwww… that is so sweet!!! She’s definately the bee’s knees!!!
Even when she’s mad at me!
Avi, I am not wrapped in a condom.
Dawgg, you are biased because I rock your world.
Britt, I don’t disagree with you on everything…just most things. Anything I DON’T comment on is a-ok. See, I only comment if I disagree or if I have something else to say that will add to whatever it is you’re saying. Bonus points if I do both at once.
I can’t stand a coward and I despise anyone who will let me get away with shit without calling me out.
You can rule the universe. I’ll just tell everyone ruling is duhm…having a cult is much better. I’m all over playing Jim Jones. I gots me that charisma and shit.
PS: Awwww, you said nice things about me! I will throw this in your face when you reach universal power and try to make me your servant or something. Just so you know.
Oh shit - that reminds me! This morning in the shower I was thinking about how I would say that while I wanted to rule the world, you wanted no part in the responsibility. So, I could me Master Of The Universe, and you could be Secretary of The Sensitivities. LOL
Ooh, can I be Secretary of Sensimilla?
Miss Ann’s pretty cool. It’s always a good day when I write something provocative enough to get her to poke a stick into my cage.
holy crap. A blog that long; you must be back at work.
Sensimillia!
Why weren’t you thinking about me when you were in the shower, dammit?
Excellent choice, Miss B!
No condom?
MISS ANN IS LEAVING UNPROTECTED COMMENTS!!
:shock:
Good choice, Britt. You’re so right about her drawing out other’s strengths & not being threatened by it. She’s most definitely a very unique woman. Oh, and a funny woman too!
I know her blog url & yet when I read what you wrote (about the .com) I couldn’t remember what it was! So I had to go look & figured out what your favorite word was!
Oh, if I wasn’t fighting dial-up, I would soooo try to figure that out.
Oy.
You are SUCH a suck up. And I mean that in the most politically correct way possible.
:shock:
Still love you…brown noser.
CP.
I love her because she’s never afraid to say what she thinks. CP is right though, you are a suck up! :P
Looking forward to 2007?
