I've been tagged twice this week, so here goes:
From Jamie:
What we're supposed to do in this exercise is act like journaling bees pollinating the literary flowers of the Internet. So remove the blog at #1 from the following list and bump every one up one place. Then add your blogs name in the #5 spot and link to each of the other blogs for the desired cross-pollination effect.

Adding to the pollen count:
Jane H: http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~jane/Petra.html -- it's not a true blog, but seeing her change from a tree-swinging multi-haired frosh to the great mom she is today has been remarkable
Aimee: http://thebusybody.blogspot.com -- any old-timers from iP will recognize her. She just had her second baby boy and could use some extra support at the moment
Laura: http://havetwo.blogspot.com -- another iPer, she just entered blogdom with two kiddos to chat about. I seem to be following a year behind her, so it's fun to see what her kids are up to
Katie: http://katerinahballerina.blogspot.com/ -- a former roommate, I like seeing what life might have been if Dan and I had gone the research/med school route after graduation
Matt: http://tisco.blogspot.com -- one of the rare people whose political persuasion seems exactly the same as mine (fiscally liberal, socially conservative), except he spends far more time educating himself on the issues, so his blog is a handy place to get the Cliff's Notes version
From Dawn:
Three screen names that you have had: Amy F, chirho, and amyrobynne
Three things you like about yourself: I don't need much sleep (when not pregnant), my math and statatisics skills, my arts and craftiness
Three things you don't like about yourself: constant procrastination, the way I talk before thinking at times, my fear of doing things differently than my mother and what she'll say about it
Three parts of your heritage: Swedish (3/8), Alsass-Loraine (teeny bit), American Indian (two women in the 19th century)
Three things that scare you: that Peter will fall over a high railing, spiders, centipedes
Three of your everyday essentials: (wow, it's been AGES since I had a skim cocoa from Caribou! I used to need those in the morning) breakfast at the computer, knitting after midnight, diapers
Three things you are wearing now: Gap t-shirt, khaki shorts, a nursing bra
Three of your favorite songs: I can't think of any. How lame is that? I've even been listening to talk radio so I don't know what's out there.
Three things I want in a relationship: easy discussions, optimism, and loyalty
Two truths and a lie: I listen to or watch baseball games whenever I have the opportunity, I've never paid a bill late, and I was offered a better version of my former job and I never called them back.
Three things you can't do without: computer, knitting needles, a good book
Three places you want to go on vacation: New Zealand, Japan, Sweden
Three things you just can't do: get near a spider, cook when I'm queasy, stop buying diapers
Three kids' names: Peter, and I'm not telling!
Three things you want to do before you die: swap homes with a family living somewhere very different from here, see who my children grow up to be, grow closer to Christ
Three Celeb crushes: Matt Damon (I'm a sucker for people playing smart guys), George Clooney, and Viggo Mortenson (but only in his LOTR get-up--he looks weird normally)
Three people you want to know these things about: how about Rebekah, Laura, and Kathleen?
