Today my blog, wickedfrenchkiss, turns 9 years old. I first started my blog to document my adventures and travels while studying abroad in Toulouse, France, in 2001-2002, and I can honestly say that I never thought it would be around this long. But I have a pretty broad audience, and I enjoy writing about my life in France (although I haven't been writing as often as I used to!). It'd be cool if some anonymous readers would post a comment and let me know who you are, where you're from, and why you enjoy my blog.

Blogging turned into a huge phenomenon shortly after I started my blog, for a number of reasons, and I chose to study blogging and its effects on politics for my graduate studies. In a few years, I hope to have my doctorate in American studies (with focuses on communications/media and politics), so hopefully I'll continue blogging for a long time.

Thanks for taking the time to read what I write and to comment when you have something to say. Thanks to my blog, I've been able to interact with some very interesting people.

Happy blog-i-versary, WickedFrenchKiss! I hope that we'll have even more to celebrate together in the next few years.

Hi Erica -- it's your old Baxter House procter, Liz! I check in on your blog on a fairly regular basis, it is great to hear about you life in Clermont and I am so impressed that you have stayed in France since graduation...I remember back at Bowdoin when we first discussed you considering a French minor! Seems like you are doing great, both personally and professionally. Keep up the wonderful blog! If you ever want to drop a line, my email is efeeherry (at) gmail.com.
