It's important to write what is right for you--and to still be yourself, to hold your own opinions. I mean, it's your life. I love that about your blog--your strong opinions, and the funny, powerful way you write, reaching so many of us. So I've nominated your blog for the Brilliante Weblog Premio Award. (I hope you don't mind--it's one of those blog awards.) You can visit my blog for more info if you feel like it. I agree–and I love your attitude.

Because, you know, the world revolves around a few select people. I like the implied belief that that one person is more important than any other people or number of other people.

If you started second-guessing yourself, your writing would lose its vigor, its passion and its surprises. And then it would stop being my favorite blog on the Web and I would lose my favorite procrastination device. Yes, don’t listen to any silly people trying to censor you, Justine.

I am racking my brains, trying to come up with anything you've posted that is even remotely offensive. You've given your opinion, sure, but nothing that's been offensive at all, or even very controversial. I can only assume that anyone who flamed you was a jerk. Good riddance. Huh.
