Cool blog and a question

Just came across this blog, as has much of the world. It is the Girls Guide to Homelessness, written by a 28-year-old California woman who ended up homeless against her every bet. Here's the intro post. She ended up getting coverage from everywhere and landed an internship at Elle.

She says in a recent post that she got lots of nice responses, as well as a lot of hate mail, and I'm intrigued to learn more. I'll spend more time on the site this weekend, but I already thought I'd share.

Sometimes I come across articles, websites and the like that pique my interest, either 'cause I love 'em or hate 'em, and I'm never sure if I should post them here. I'm tempted to, since the great thing about the internet is sharing links and trading ideas about ideas.

But then, maybe you don't come here looking for that. Maybe you just want to know about this particular woman's askings and take a break from the linkopoly, and if you want to read other cool articles, you know where to go, thank you very much.

So, can I ask you? What would you like?

My occasional take on interesting stories out there, in hopes we might talk about them here? Or just skip that and stick to writing about asking?

In the next post, I'll share two stories about readers who asked... but first I wanted toss this question out into the ether.

Oh, and one more thing.

Happy Friday, everyone!!!!!

  1. I love investigating links that various bloggers post about. I find super great stuff that way!

    You don't have to go into big detail about why you like a site, just let us go exploring and see what we think! There's millions out there and how would we find the good stuff otherwise?

  2. I sometimes feel like we are all reading the same site/newspapers and then posting links on our blogs. I really like links that connect to the subject of the blog, so I'd love to see links to the subject of asking etc. Of course, it's your blog, so you can write about anything.
