Blogthings

The only Internet content I love more than Tales of MU and webcomics is blogs. I am nosy by nature and inquisitive about life experiences that differ from mine, and, much like the webcomic list, the content and ideas in the stuff expressed below will probably appear contradictory. Some of it may offend you. Do not assume that some of it doesn't offend me, too, or that I agree with it all...but these are the blogs I look at of people I don't know.
