Day 30: An old friend is back

January 25, 2010

O.k., so the title is kind of overly dramatizing the situation. What I am referring to is a friend of mine who started writing on her blog again. The name of her blog is erinmoves.blogspot.com and it is a fantastically written blog about her life. It is funny, interesting, zany at times and over the last couple of months it even had the overtones of sadness. She stopped blogging regularly a couple of months ago, with her last post being well over a month ago. I had talked (emailed) to her around Thanksgiving about her new job and she sounded very excited about it. I also knew that last year was kind of a rough year for her and I just wanted to make sure everything was alright.

When she didn't post for a couple weeks I was bummed, but not concerned. When it had been over a month though, I was a little bit worried. I say worried not in the sense that I was losing sleep over it, but as I checked her blog I was more or less wondering what was going on. That is why I was so excited this morning to see that she was back. She posted some pictures of her new apartment and her new cat. Naturally the best part of it though was the small summary that she wrote. In just a couple of sentences, she reminded me why I had missed her blog. Her writing style has such a distinct feel to it, that as soon as you start reading her, you know it could be no one else writing.

This may sound stupid, but her blog is the only reason that I even started my own blog in the first place. She is twice the writer that I am, regardless of what her subject matter is. So if for some reason somebody out there is reading this, please check out her blog if you are in the mood to read someone who actually knows how to write.
