Exclusive Nominee Interview with Lauren White of Raymi the Minx
here’s some choice quotes/highlights/lowlights:
when blogging received its first wave of media hype I was already a few years ahead of the tide, early-adoption combined with racy material = audience. I have managed to maintain this popularity for way too long now. I am a 26 year old compulsive blogger and you know everything there is to know about me.
I’m not the only blogger anymore, so I have to keep my wits about me. In actuality though, I know what miniscule talent I have is unique unto itself, so I don’t feel very threatened.
It takes so much more balls to just stand up and say hey, I like something, and defend it. So much easier to just be a hater.
If I tell you what I won’t write about, then that would be telling you what I won’t tell you.

“Compulsive blogger”–I like that. That’s a classic photo of you in the flannel, your brother in the Nirvana tee-shirt.
