You are what you write/You write what you are

"If, as you live your life, you find yourself mentally composing blog entries about it, post this exact same sentence in your weblog."

Found via CheekyProf, though this sentence seems to be proliferating at an exponential rate throughout the blogosphere.

(CheekyProf, by the way, links to Mr. Cheeky's commentary on media reaction to the London bombings, and I'm in full agreement with them both about the disgusting "I know lots of people died and were injured and that many more are in mourning in the UK, but what does this mean for me" stories that have dominated the domestic newsrealm.

And I also accidentally discovered her wonderful post--and the very useful comments upon it by others--about end-of-term pleas from failing and/or underperforming students.)

UPDATE: Tina reminds me that New Kid posted similar sentiments on the coverage of the London bombing a few days ago. In fact, I even replied to NK's post, but I'm so scatterbrained that I couldn't remember whose the post had been.
