Farewell, it's been real

Boing Boing guestblogger Connie Choe is a health and culture writer by day and a professional kimchimonger by night.

I will be adding "Guest blogged for Boing Boing" to my personal list of Scary and Surprising Things Accomplished in the New Millennium, right under "Gave birth to daughter sans epidural after 46-hour labor" and "Attended county fair." It has indeed been terrifying to produce content for such smart, sassy readers (Yeah, I called you sassy. What of it?). But aside from the whole terrifying aspect, it's been heaps of fun writing here (and reading all your comments), and I'm grateful to have had the chance to contribute to a blog that I love so dearly.

Bugs & Fishes,
Connie

Seeya sometime, Connie. Learned lots (and some disturbing details on the subject of squirrels) and I hope to see you back again! :D

I have really enjoyed reading your posts a lot Connie. Not just saying that at a white girl convinced she is really Korean given how much I love the kim chi. :) I hope to partake of what you monger really soon!
