Randomest renter ever.
So I leave my offer for renting on the exchange site, go to sleep, and wake up to 9 bids. I browse them, see two travelogues that would go perfectly with this week’s posts, and find out that one of them even was graceous enough to read and comment on the last post, not just bid. Robi comes home with this day’s bread, I leave the computer open and go to fix Timi some breakfast.
When I come back to the PC, there’s an accepted rent. As Timi , even if she’s not yet 3 years old, knows very well how to start the computer, open Winamp , browse pictures on Google or open The Sims2, it was clear what happened.So I present to you Timi’s choice this week - Evolution of Gina. Not a bad choice though. While the template might be a bit too dark for my taste, the writing’s good and the lady writing it had a life that included stealing Granola bars, being bitten by fire ants, having an eating disorder and being accepted to college at 40. Plus, she’s on my side on an issue I feel strogly about since this case - where the bastard got away with what he did, thanks to being tried in the States - that having your trial and punishment for what you did in the country where you did it is a duty that applies to Americans too, not just the rest of the world. I think I like her.
Gina is a wonderful person… the type we all are blessed to know. Just wanted to let you know that Timi did a great thing here.
Good call.
Yay Timi-choices!
I think that is a hilarious - and very fun - way to choose a new renter.
I looked into the “blog renting” thing myself, but I’m afraid I still don’t fully understand how it works and the site didn’t provide any information that made it more clear to me. Perhaps I am just stupid? Bah.
AWWWW, GOOD GOOGLY WOOGLY! Y’ALL ARE GONNA MAKE ME CRY! I NEED A TISSUE! EMOTING! I’M EMOTING HERE!
I’m glad that I had a chance to come here see if you posted a comment, because I like thanking people for accepting my bid. (I’m disgustingly polite that way.)
I want to thank you for the most in-depth invitation to look at my blog in quite some time. In fact, it is the best one, period! (I don’t think the other guy that gave me a good post will mind my saying so.) I hope you get to take a look at my “Directions Southern Style” some time. There’s more. I’m about to write my 100th post. I wanted to time it with an anniversary that I have to deal with, but it will be posted while you are renting me.
Thank you very much for the warm, heartfelt statements. Dad gum it, I like you, too! So much so, that I will do a post about your blog!
Did I say thanks? Thanks!
Thanks, Timi! That kid’s gonna go far!
