Follow the Rabbit Hole
August 29, 2008 |
The other day I posted that I got an award and that, after much reflective thought, I passed it on to two blogs. One of those blogs was Two Slashes who had this to say about the whole thing:
As you might have guessed, I can see similarities between this award making its rounds and the chain letters my mother ever-so-happily forwards (directly into my Spam folder, mind you
) or the tripe you might find on MySpace, sans the “death penalty” for not forwarding it to anyone. (I hope Justin doesn’t have to stab me with a spork under a blue moon in the middle of November for not passing this on.)
…
(On the other hand, though, there are some great opportunities for a “Six Degrees” game here. I’m just not motivated enough to follow through with it, though.)
No sporking on my end. In fact, I was just motivated enough to see how far back I could chase the chain mail (what a great analogy!). So, if you are daring enough, join me as I chase this award throughout the depths of the internet.
Oh My Seven gave me the award.
It’s 3 o’clock in the morning! gave her the award.
Free and Flawed gave him the award.
I’m a mom in real life gave her the award.
Two Knit Monkeys gave her the award.
Two Dogs Running gave her the award.
Unmitigated gave her the award.
Dogs and Jeans gave her the award.
The Blarney Spot gave him the award.
my2boyz gave him the award.
Diaries of a Domestic Goddess gave her the award.
A Daily Dose of Toni gave her the award.
MammaDawg gave her the award after creating it!
So there you have it. I found the bottom of the rabbit hole. Did I learn something along the journey? Yes. There are a lot of middle-aged women writing blogs on the internet. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing.

I think it’s interesting that you followed this award to see where it started. I like discovering how small this blogosphere really is.
With that said, 24 isn’t middle-aged

If 24 was middle aged then I’d just be over the hill… I didn’t mean *every* blog I climbed through was by middle aged women, but an awful lot of them were. (That trend seemed to be broken when you passed it onto Mike Motercade.)
