Over the last couple of years I have gone from a brand spanking new blogger to - well I don’t know just what I am now. I blog, yes, but have become more involved with the admin side of b5media as well, hence my sore lack of updating on this blog and the others I write). I really love supporting the writers and helping out with the details that everyone else hates to do. Patient, detail oriented - sounds like a former nail tech to me. Anyway, Darren Rowse, one of the owners of b5media and the inspiration and possibly the driving force behind what has made problogging what it is today, wrote the kindest thing about me over the weekend, and I like to keep these niceties for posterity (and let the 5 relatives that read this blog know about it…ha ha). Darren included me in 5 bloggers he would like to meet:

Christina Jones - Ok - you’re all going to hit Christina’s link and wonder whether I’m a closet beauty product user - but it’s not the topic of her blog that makes me include her - it’s who she is. Christina is another b5 blogger/channel editor/project manager and is someone who has gone above and beyond the call. I admire her for many reasons but one of them is her ability to get things done. One of my many weaknesses is that I can be quite disorganized and impulsive - in this way CJ is my opposite. She’s also is compassionate, funny and passionate about the things she does.

I don’t know about funny, but passionate I have handled. And the funny thing is, I am probably one of the most impulsive people you ever knew. There have been several occasions at b5 where my passion has just about taken over my sense, but thankfully, in the end, all was right with the world. I just wanted to say thanks to Darren, you are always an inspiration with your genorosity, your knowledge and your kindness. I think we will get to meet sooner rather than later, and I can’t wait (and am darned sorry it isn’t on a groovy cruise this month!). And just admit it, I know you are a closet product junkie.

And for my five relatives who probably don’t know (or care??), b5media just took on some venture capital funding to the tune of $2,000,000, so watch out for great things to come! With any luck I will have an official title and a full time “real” job at b5media in the next couple of weeks, Project Manager. I am looking very forward to seeing where this goes, it will no doubt be quite a ride!! Come and join us!
