I'm having a birthday party, but you're not invited, but you can come if you want.

today was a pretty good day. i had brunch, which i love. i got presents, which i also love, and my mom made me a peach pie. yet another thing i love. but ti's 7pm, and i am still full from all the norwegian pancakes i ate.

so i was playing around online. and long story short, i came to a blog written by another jodi. and i found it very entertaining and honest, and she had lots of people who obviously enjoyed her blog, because she had lots of comments. i thought i might post a link to her blog on mine. that gave me an idea. maybe i should post a list of links, to blogs by other jodis. so i did a search, and i found another one, by a jodi in new york city. i spent some time reading her blog. and just like you'd expect, she's witty and funny and smart and sarcastic and opinionated. she's very jodi.

here's the problem. i don't like her. i mean, she all those things listed above, and her blog is very entertaining. but i really don't like her. or, to be more precise, i don't like the person that is represented on her blog. which i have been instructed to call her "site" as she hates the word blog. [not me personally, anyone referring to her blog is to do so]. i think she's... snobby. and kind of mean. and sometimes that comes across as funny, and sometimes it comes across as arrogant. and again, snobby. i was very conflicted by this. she's talented, funny, smart, witty... and yet, i don't like her. wouldn't want to meet her. i'm disappointed. and while i think i'll continue to occasionally read her blog, i'm not going to link to it. i had it all set up, it was actually up and posted, under Other Jodiblogs. until i read the part about not calling it a blog. and that was the final straw. because i had a picture in my miind of the blogjodi getting mad at me for calling it a blog. and ignoring the fact i thought highly enough of it to list it, along with dr. frank and wil wheaton. so.. i can't link it. i don't like her. i admire her talent, but that's not enough. she, too, has lots of admirers, although at some point, the option to comment disappeared on her blog. and i couldn't help but think that she just couldn't be bothered. a flat out assumption on my part, but i only have what she writes to form impressions of her. i don't know... i feel bad for not liking her, you know? can someone explain that to me?

however, there is another jodi, the first one i mentioned. and if you want to check out her blog, you can do so here. ithe other jodi? feh, go find her yourself.

Maybe the snotty nonblog Jodi is not really a Jodi, maybe she is trying to corrupt the name....Just a thought.......

Great party and the best part is, I didn't gain a pound or get a sugar drop from eating all that yummy peach pie...lol.

Happy B-day, blue was supposed to put your present in the mail. Hope you like it!

happy birthday! just remember about snotty jodi... there has to be equilibrium in the world. perhaps equilibrium must be maintained even within the jodisphere.

since when do you appreciate the wil wheaton?

i always appreciated the wil wheaton, just not as much as you and lisa and such. but then, when i read the link with the kids... playing the old video games. i knew i had to spread the goodness.

btw: i sent that link to mr. snotty. the article... it was a big hit.

thank you sandy! i'm glad someone didn't gain a pound, but i think i sure did. oy i am still full of pancakes. i'm sure of it.
