millariwell, for me it is, anyway. I noticed this in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grinninfoole's journal and I thought it was a good idea for a meme:
Who Are You Stalking?
Here are the journals of interesting people I'm reading who are not my actual friends:
twilight: A young woman in D.C. who is serving with the diplomatic corps under the Secretary of State and gets to travel the world as a result. Interesting and yet in many ways mundane glimpse at life around the men and women of the State Department and the Diplomatic Corps. Don't expect any state secrets to be revealed, but it's oddly fascinating to see the letter Colin Powell wrote to his staff when he resigned, or to find out that Condi Rice is on the Atkins diet. Plus, she often posts great pics of all the exotic locales she visits.
ginmar: A really interesting soldier who just finished a tour serving in Iraq and is now writing about her life back home and lots of reflections on current events. If you go back to her old journal posts, it gives a great sense of what it must be like for the average footsoldier over there, i.e. the vast majority of soldiers who aren't there to engage in combat, but to keep the supply and reconstruction project going. A no-nonsense-brooking, strongly opiniated person, she is also often very funny and she breaks lots of easily-made misconceptions about who joins up and serves: She's an ardent and wonderfully confident feminist, somewhere between liberal and libertarian, an obsessive watcher of shows like "Buffy" "Angel" and the like, a cat owner, a fanfic writer and a voracious reader of political and sociological texts.
jacksonpublick: Livejournal of one of the two creators of "The Venture Brothers," an animated show on The Cartoon Network. If you're a fan, it has great inside info on each of the episodes, the creation process, plus very funny stuff on how the censors at CN think. Jacksonpublick is also quite self-effacing about his success and hardly ever mentions that he was also a writer for the short-lived but brilliant "The Tick" animated and live action serieses (sic).
There you have it. Want to participate in this meme? Post who your stalking with a link to my journal. Have fun....
