Soliloquies Exposed......That Frolicsome Kid
...a guest blogger review by Mimi Lenox of Mimi Writes

Sociology, sweet school crushes, best friends tiffs and endless worry about class subjects. Sound like high school?
It is.
How many teenagers do you know who describe themselves like this? "I'm just another 16 year old guy who acts very naively and ignorant of life. I live in a fantasy world, where my life is simply perfect. And that life I know of is slowly ebbing away from me, leaving me vulnerable to the harsh reality. Let's just say my own bubble was burst. And I shall sit and ramble my soliloquys, hoping that someone can listen to my daily predicaments."
Meet Frolicsome Kid.
This blog has a clandestine feel with a dash of mystery. That's saying a lot for one still wet-behind-the-ears. Read this adorable post called "My Crushes" about a girl named Carrot (sorry, FK! Adorable just seems to fit you!) And brainy. And kind. And thoughtful. And sincere. But getting back to adorable....."I remember my heart doing flipflops when I neared her." Fast forward a few grades "I drew her to a secluded corner and...." I told you! Mystery! Intrigue! Romance! He's quite a character.
But what is special about Frolicsome Kid's essays has nothing to do with his fast-paced teenage life (although that in itself is interesting) - I admire the way he honestly relates to his readers.
I particularly enjoyed his account of a trip he took to Taiwan and Singapore with his family. Then there are the surprises he seems to always stumble into, like the day his best friend found his secret blog. Yikes! Technically savvy, bright and funny, this kid always has something relevant to say. And he says it in a big way! Please don't miss his NaNoWriMo book HERE.
Frolicsome Kid is a web published author with a novel called Kinderella.
We're impressed, Kid.
I hope you'll visit this witty young man, read a bit of his book, maybe leave a sage comment or two - you remember when you were that age, don't you? - and tell him Mimi and Bestest Blog sent you!
Congratulations, Frolicsome. Your blog friends think you're very cool.

Note from Bobby: This blog has the sweetest template I've seen in awhile! This site is worth checking out for that reason alone (plus everything Mimi wrote!)

I nominated FK for the teenage and Indonesian categories in the Bloggies - unfortunately he didn't make finalists, but I reckon he deserved to!!

Well done, FK! Congratulations! (and nice write-up Mimi and Bobby!)

Been on a bit of a hiatus, but I had to break that to write this post.  This may be the bestest blog, but I think I just found the bestest gift ideas site .  Ok, imagine this.  You need to get a gift for your aunt from Cleveland.  You know she likes the Cleveland Browns and quilting, but that's about it. So what do you do?  You panic and you buy her whatever Yankee candle strikes your fancy in the store that day.  But what you should do is go to GiftedIdea.com .  You tell them about your aunt from Cleveland and they'll come up with a whole bunch of relevant gift ideas.  Who is "they"?  Well, they have a team of gift experts  called the Idea Team.  They crowdsource the ideas for you.  Pretty cool, right?  It's certainly a fun idea and I wish them all the success they can find.
