31 Days to Build a Better Blog: Now You're Profiling
Day 29: Profiling.
Truly, I thought a person could get in trouble for profiling. But apparently there are different brands. Today's recommended profiling activity is fully legal and socially acceptable, unless you go about it in an anti-social way.
The idea is to build your own profile through the power of association.
Okay.
Let's begin.
I will say a word or phrase, and you tell me the first thing that pops into your mind. This is the power of association.

If your responses sounded something like...
...Midwestern snarky-businessman unafraid of Texan ex-preacher-Barbies who eat oatmeal (and sausages when they are naughty) while watching T.V. commercials and doing book talks directly after Twittering and snacking on fried shrimp before making bread while telling jokes about laundry and photographing lost socks, then forecasting the future of those socks' abilities to build a great website or clothe a snarky-yet-poignant writer's feet...
well, then, you are properly associated.
Because this means you know the people who work for HighCallingBlogs, where it could (literally) pay to build your profile— if not in dollars, then in cybercake. Either way, it's legal. And you're officially profiled.

You could make a poem out of that profiling paragraph. Perhaps call it "The Poetry of Friendship."
I never knew about the socks.

I do love sausage. I will continue to love sausage. I will continue to eat sausage.
And I'm with Glynn about the profiling paragraph. That is hilarious.
