Hey JU, I'm Showing You Mine, So Why Don't You Show Me Yours
Blog articles, that is...

I got the idea for this earlier today and have to thank Gideon and Little Whip for the inspiration. It started with Gideon's "Welcome to JU..." article Link. I commented that when I first came to JU, I was kind of mild in my posting. I still am in some ways. I stay off the politics forums. I don't post much that is inflammatory. Mostly funny stuff that happens to me with the occasional rant.
Well, while I was commenting, I got a little off topic and wrote about my very first featured article. It was the third I had written here at JU and I commented about how I felt a little sad that my absolute favorite article that I've written since I've been here was no longer at the top of my Top Articles list in my sidebar. It is by far my best writing, in my opinion. It was the hardest thing I've ever written and the most emotional.
Well, Little Whip asked that I post a link to it there and I did. All of this got me thinking about another article that Gideon wrote a while back. This one was titled "Reminding Myself Why I Blog" and can be found here Link. In it, Gideon talked about how very often, inflammatory blogs got more posts than some of the really well written, well thought out articles. He also mentioned "sadly, my top article remains the Mary Kate Olsen post" in his post.
Well, that brings me to the point of this post. And hopefully I'm not stealing something from someone here. Go check out Angloesque's post "You steal my blog; I steal your ... uh, something." here Link for more information on this sort of thing.
I want to know what you think is your best piece of work here at JU. Post me a title and a link and maybe a reason why it's important to you or why it's your favorite article. I promise I'll check it out.
My favorite article that I've written is "Something I never want to do again...". You can see it here Link, if you like. It's a deeply personal piece.

No worries there.
