I--very lucky person that I am--got a gorgeous new neighbour today and the first thing I'm going to do now that I've visited her blog is to steal an idea for a post--which she "stole" as well so I suppose all is fair. :)
In her words:
"The idea is to pick 5 neighbors to refer to, to your other neighbors"
This is really hard as I just went through my neighbourhood as I'm trying to keep it manageable in that I want to be able to do justice to my being someone's neighbour, meaning I want to have time to properly visit. So I'm trying to keep the list small-ish--which since Vox has grown by leaps and bounds is really hard to do! So this is pick of only five of my neighbours but guys, my love and/or admiration extends to my entire neighbourhood!
Maya: passionate, heart of gold, INTELLIGENT but not in an intimidating way, loves and cares for/about the Earth's creatures, an outstanding individual.
Chaz: you always remember your first, right? Chaz was my very first neighbour (shame one you, get your heads out of the gutter) lol. I'm still reluctant to add neighbours as my fear of rejection gets in the way (but I am getting better). Chaz however saved me from taking that leap and added me. Thank you, Chaz. This guy is very smart and very much his own person. This at first kept me pondering, mostly thoughts like huh? and wha? but after about 2 months I finally "got" Chaz. Pretty much. He still keeps me guessing but the difference now is that sometimes I get it! I do and I feel so smart! A neighbour who can make me, even if it's just in my own mind feel like I "get it"--well he's pretty frakkin' cool.
Gunderson Bee: She is so obviously attractive in so many ways. Brains, beauty, fierce devotion to her son, fearlessness in saying what needs to be said, a work ethic that puts me to shame, wit--the whole package. She's one of a handful of people that I feel the need to check in with when I first log on. She inspires me.
Jessica: Just barely met her. Doesn't matter. She'd got a good and kind heart. A generous spirit. And despite the fact that she just very recently suffered a tragedy that is the stuff of our nightmares--her sense of humour is very much evident. I look forward to reading more from her.
LE Sweetz: the "broke ass happy rockstar." Smart, witty, a foodie without the attitude and yes, she goes to more live shows each week than there are days in a week and then writes very entertainingly about it. She must not sleep. I live vicariously through her. You should, too.
