Welcome to Thursday Thirteen
"The Girl Next Door" proves that, contrary to popular belief, not every blogger is a cynic. She has started a community whose purpose is "to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday." Joining is simple, writes Nicole, a 21-year-old student at the University of West Georgia: "Write thirteen things about yourself, summarize your week in one entry, make it easy for other bloggers to get to know you on a weekly basis."
