Our newest guest blogger comes to us from (yes, you guessed it) Philadephia. She is a journalist and blogger who many of you are probably familiar with by her comments on SM, or by reading her blog:
PhillyGrrl is your (almost) typical phillygrrl. She likes talking about Philadelphia all the time. It got a little annoying. Especially after she sent out 50+ forwards every day, annoying her friends and relatives to no small end. Now she annoys the general public with the random things in her head. She also writes for uwishunu and Phawker. [Link]
Don’t worry. She will not be writing only about desis in Philadelphia. She will probably cover some from Pittsburgh as well. I also expect her to reveal some interesting links between South Asian Americans and the Continental Congress. Please join me in welcoming PhillyGrrl.
First!
Welcome PhillyGirl – I remember seeing your comments on SM posts (don’t remember any of the content though). Looking forward to your post(s).
Yay Phillygrrl! Looking forward to your posts here.
welcome! phillygirl make us proud-
She likes talking about Philadelphia all the time.
How come you guys don’t give Donovan McNabb more respect for everything he done for the Eagles.
I’m new here myself, but welcome! 🙂
PhillyGrrl: Welcome to Sepia Mutiny. Hope you can bring some of that pioneer spirit of Philadelphia. (Not many deshis know that Philly was the first capital of US, before they moved to Washington, DC – I think!). Oh and make sure you bring some mutiny, real mutiny similar to the mutiny that drove them British out of this country. Good Luck.
Welcome to SM! P.S., I totally love Uwishunu!
Suki,
If Donovan hadnt thrown up in the huddle and given them that win over the Patriots, he wouldnt be getting the undeserved shit he gets now. Its philly, people aint so brotherly anymore. Theres an undercurrent of racism against McNabb too, some people refer to him as n***** mcnabb, I kid you not, though I dont know how much that actually feeds into it. Idk, I feel for him, but he’s not quite hall of famer material.
Abhi,
Your headline should spell her name as PhillyGrrl and not PhillyGrll. I am offended on her behalf.
You’re welcome
Thanks folks! I look forward to some interesting discussions with you all. (Not sure what to say about Donovan, though. Go Eagles?)
Velcome!!! was Breezing through your blog, interesting stuff. look forward to your contributions. Like your BEPs entry’s too.
Congrats PhillyGrrl! Can’t wait to see the City of Bhaiyaa Love repped on SM 🙂
