Parlez vous?

Suddenly those 5 years studying French starting in 7th grade no longer seem a waste. No, I'm not on my way to France or any other French-speaking land. (I did go on a scandalous weekend trip to Canada in 10th grade, but pretty much everyone there wanted to practice their English with us.) No, what I have found upon clicking referral sites from sitemeter is that I can read blogs en francais. All the answers from those interminable Mondays: what did you do over the weekend? Fridays: what are you going to do this weekend? and everything in between: what do you like to do for fun? in our quest to conquer chitchat can now be found in the 'About Me' of many a French blog.
