Gwen, I knew there was a good reason to like you. Look at your commitment to Kris. You’d fly across the Atlantic to hear her speak. What a nice compliment. Is Switzerland closer to DC than Seattle is to DC?

Someone needs to tell Nathan that the men, by virtue of their penises alone, are generally the most popular people at BlogHer.

I’d fly all the way from Switzerland to listen to you talk, Kris.

It was on being a ‘digital diarist’. Our panel in 2007 that is. Also, hey! I’m so excited you’re coming! It will make up for all of those times I pass by your house and think “hmm, I should call Kris”. Friend fail.

I love that Laurie owned this, MADE IT HERS.

Also, how do so many people know my Mom??? Don’t answer that.

Lessinges, the last I was at BH there were very few dudes, but I understand that has changed in recent years, what with the hookers and blow. [that was a joke.] I think roughly 15 percent of attendees are men, which is a pretty good ratio. The men I know who are going are quite comfortable in their own skin . . . I’m pretty sure they will have a *grand* time being in the minority.

It’s funny how people will ask “what’s your blog about?”. I usually have no clue how to answer that question. It’s random at best. I have no clue how I’d classify it, it’s blog dammit.

I hope this year’s BlogHer treats you well. Do many guys attend and if so, are they “tools” or very comfortable in their own skin?

I am so glad it took a ROYO for me to finally get to meet you!

Dude… I really hadn’t planned on going, but I would love to attend your ROYO.

Maybe my plans need to change…

The one year I don’t go to BH and you and Jurgen do. SO UNFAIR!

Will miss seeing you.

Oh, I wish I could come see you guys! That would be so cool. And as long as I can say I blog about YOUR MOM and not my own (since she reads mine, I can’t, sadly) it’s all good.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, by the way. I was deeply honored! I have to say my trip to Vegas was the best one I’ve ever had. And that is saying a lot.

You’ve hit on it exactly. I’d love to have the opportunity to write regularly, and to have the input of an audience, but I have no niche. Not a mommy, not a foodie, not a late-30s dater, not anything but ME. And so where do I start and what do I say and who would really care? Other than YOUR MOM, of course.

I blog about your mom.

What?

I’m laughing at Tracy Lynn’s comment.

The idea behind this post kind of reminds me of a skit that was on The State yeeeeaaars ago. This guy was trying to find a word for someone who is a book lover, and when he gets clued into the word “bibliophile,” everything just clicks.

If you find out what the word is for us personal bloggers who aren’t moms, photographers, foodies, office crack heads, etc., do let us know.

I generally tell people I write about stuff, and things, with tits.

No wonder I don’t have more readers.

I love that response. The personal blogging is so hard to categorize. I suppose in some ways being a mommyblogger is kind of a relief because it’s an easy explanation.

Dammit, we need a BlogHIM. But until then, carry the torch proudly.

Don’t try to cover for me now, lady.

Laurie didn’t really say that. I made that up. :)

ARTISTIC LICENSE, PEOPLE.

I came late to the party, but I jumped in with both feet on your last post- just now.

And also… LOVED Laurie’s answer (above).

That just covers everything, doesn’t it?

I would camped out in the first row for that session. And I would applaud the “YOUR MOM” comment. Sounds like it will be fun!
