Welcome to the second week of completed GIE interviews!
Do we we learn anything new about our community this week by reading about their lives and dreams?
Absolutely! The blogging community is comprised of a bunch of weirdos! Well, not all of them, but clearly bloggers are an odd bunch if characters, mismatched in the same way that the A-Team was hobbled together as an elite military team.
But as with the A-Team, bloggers are somehow able to work through their individual biases in order to solve each case and stop the bad guys.
What specifically did we learn this week? Well, we learned that:
Ann from “Ann’s Rants” is a perfectionist in her writing.

Also, as many of you know, a fellow personal blogger, Anissa Mayhew, a 35 year old mother of three, had a stroke this week and is still in the hospital. She has many friends online. During the last Great Interview Experiment in 2008, Anissa was interviewed by Fear and Parenting in Las Vegas. You can read that interview here.
Here is the official Caring Bridge site for Anissa if you want to learn more, or want to help.
Come back next week for GIE, week 3!
What a lineup! You’re a blogstar, Neil. Thanks much for all your hard work.
Amazing Neil ! Now to add more names to my reader…thanks!
You are a fucking genius! If I was within grabbing distance, I would give you a great big kiss. If we ever get the chance to meet, please remind me that I owe you that.
I suck Neil!
I had so much going on that I FAILED big time. I forgot to answer the hilarious interview questions given to me by Erica, AND I completely neglected interviewing Sarah.
I have a serious case of shame all over my body now. Like, the kind of shame and guilt I get from my converted-Jewish mother. It’s that bad.
I’m so sorry! 🙁
Apologies to Erica and Sarah, who both totally deserved to get hot little links in this kick ass post.
der! I hope I didn’t miss this…
Count me in da mix! I want to do an interview.
Melanie — sign up on the other post that I linked to.
Neil,
I LOVE this project and idea and I would love to participate, however I am sort of a brain-challenged dolt, so I will need help with like who to interview! I LOVE doing interviews- if you don’t mind cusswords, check out my interview with the Suburban Housewife rapper Sally Brooks:
