7X7 At 7 O'Clock

I just awoke from a nap, book on face ("Facebook, the Laura version", Strider quipped)  to find that Delores at The Feathered Nest very sweetly tagged me with The 7X7 Links!



How this works is, you go back through all your blogposts and choose 7 that fit the bill. Wow. This will take a while. And no, I still haven't learned to do proper hot links so the old way will have to do... ;)

1. most beautiful

A short poem about a memorable first kiss

2. most popular

Probably due to its being linked on Wikipedia, about my old boss:

3. most controversial

This is the hardest to find; the dear readers who comment and view my blog are usually in agreement wih me, so I don't get arguing feedback. But the closest I guess, came to being really pissed off about cynicism:

4. most helpful

In the wake of the Norway massacres this summer, I found something Stephen Fry tweeted and it was very healing:

5. surprisingly successful

At the start of the Murdoch scandals, Hugh Grant played a big part, and I had a surprising number of hits and they're still coming:

6. most underrated

Never understood why this didn't even get a comment:

7. most pride worthy      

Now here's the damning one; what I'm proudest of writing. Well, I'll pick one from the Way Back Machine, before a dozen people even knew I was blogging:

Here's the really fun part!

And now I have to tag 7 bloggers for the challenge. So here they are:

http://carrieoncarryingon.blogspot.com/

CarrieBoo is amazing. Her adventures, her wit and her lively take on life are not to be missed.

 

http://rorydgrant.blogspot.com/

Rory is a great writer and his Scottish Scribbler blog is well-known, but this is his serious side, about politics and injustice.

 

http://michaelannland.blogspot.com/

Michaelann writes about all sorts of things, and about social justice in a no-nonsense, gutsy way.

 

http://annieoatcake.blogspot.com/

Annie is a refreshing, challenging writer who picks interesting topics. Blog more, Annie!

Geo. is an enigma himself. You cannot define this blog. But it's hilarious.

 

http://wayneingmoments.blogspot.com/

I've recommended Wayne's blog before. I can't recommend it too many times.

 

http://heleneshome.blogspot.com/

Helene writes about all kinds of music. She writes about new bands, favorite bands and musicians she admires. She also takes great unusual photos  I admire her outlook.

 

So now I'll go let all these blogging stars know they have been tagged.  The rules are simple. Find posts in your blog that meet the criteria of

most beautiful

most popular

most controversial

most helpful

surprisingly successful

most underrated

most pride worthy      

and then, tag 7 lucky bloggers!
