Mina joon, No worries :o)
by Monda on Sat Mar 20, 2010 07:56 AM PDTI don't think anyone's holding You or Us accountable for our nominations... it's been fun though.
Monda Jan
by minadadvar on Sat Mar 20, 2010 07:53 AM PDTThanks for your additional catagories and names. As I said before, I will have a revised version soon. I can see, that I have left out a number of great/creative contributors, like Azadeh Azad, Dr Sadaat Noury and Shazdeh.
I wish you and your loved ones peace and happiness.
Much honored!
by Monda on Sat Mar 20, 2010 07:47 AM PDTMina jan, I wish You and your loved ones a wonderful Norouz va saale no.

Most romantic: Orang, Hadi Khojinian, JJ, Jeesh, Redwine, Anahid Hojjati, Souri, Shazdeh, bajenagh naghi, Anonymouse, Latina ... right off the bat but many more out there, I'm sure
Funny and brilliant women: Tissa, Marg, Azadeh Azad, Marjan Kindersley, Akhtar khanom, minoo66, mitranorthcal (again, right off the bat)
Funny and brilliant men: MPD, divaneh, faramarz, Jeesh Daram, Shazde asdolla mirza, Ari, Khar, ...
Most visually artistic women: Azadeh Azad, Noosh Afarin, Princess, sima, Marjan, EH why can't I recall the rest?!
Most visually artistic men: JJ, Omid, Ari, MPD, Jeesh, bahram9821, DK

by minadadvar on Sat Mar 20, 2010 07:40 AM PDTGreat idea. I will have a revised version of this blog in a few days. The new blog will include the new catagories and names of additional favorites. Thanks for your suggestion. And have a great Norooz.
Mina jan, for slice of life stories:Latina, Nazy Kaviani & JJ
by Anahid Hojjati on Sat Mar 20, 2010 07:37 AM PDTMina jan, two other catgories that came to my mind are: writers who do great job writing slice of life stories and blogs and those who bring creativity in others. For slice of life stories, I want to nominate Jahanshah, Latina and Nazy Kaviani. I don't think it gets any more slice of life than Jahanshah posting video of his exercises and writing about planning to lose weight. Latina writes great blogs about her challenges in finding a good man. Nazy in the past year wrote about her experience voting in Iranian elections, and about her interesting air travel story and other ones that one can read by going to each of these writers' blogs.
I also want to nominate Nazy Kaviani for bringing creativity in others. In the past year, Nazy invited IC writers to write about issues such as Hope for Iran, love, freedom of expression in Iran, and few more. I know that few of my poems may not have been written if I did not sit down and think that I was going to write about love or hope for Iran.
