Recent stories by and about Anais Grin

Why I admire Sor Juana Inés de La Cruz

Because SorJuana rocked! As a young girl in 17th century Mexico City, she gained fame as a writer of beautiful love poetry. In order to evade the drudgery of domestic duties, which was the lot of married Mexican women no matter how high their station, she became a nun, and continued writing.

Her argument for women’s education in Respuesta a la muy ilustre sor Filotea de la Cruz (pdf file in Spanish, and here in English) is one of feminism’s must-reads.

I knew her in a different life… on a different blogworld. She seems amazingly with it in her writing, very compassionate somehow. I would love to see her in person some day.

Why I admire Anais Grin

She is so thoughtful and caring. She is very complex and thought provoking. I think she has many stories to tell and much to teach us. I hope she writes a book about her life, I would fight to be the first in line to read it.

Why I want to meet Anais Grin

despite being wildly intelligent and possessing tremendously diverse life experiences, she’s unassuming, lovely and vulnerable. she’s a person of dimension.

How I met bookish

I’m somewhat bookish myself, so when I ran across her username and started reading, I quickly became hooked. She came through my town, and I couldn’t pass up the chance to meet. Let me tell you, she’s as delightful in person as in print! Agent99 joined us, too! It was a raw dreary day, but the three of us barely noticed it; we were far too busy enjoying great heaps of conversation!

How I met Agent99

We both were trying to give 500 cheers by New Years Eve, when we noticed we live in the same town (oh yes, our town’s located in Quadling Country, Land of Oz…). Today we met and it was such fun! Plus, she got me to go to a favorite sammich place I hadn’t visited in years…ummm sammiches….

My year in review

Oh well hmm, glancing over this summary of 2005 I cannot say I really did those most of those things in 2005. Many of them were from past times in my life. I’m no spring chicken so the past is pretty long. But this is a sweet spot to summarize my year. Maybe I will when I have a little more time.

Why I want to meet bloomsday616

Please join me in welcoming bloomsday616. I want to meet her because she has a brilliant set of 43 things and places, and if they don’t overlap with mine, it’s only because I’ve set my own sights too short!
