Still, I don't think I could ever pick one player as my favorite.

You quit your job as a lawyer, sold your house, and moved back in with your parents so you could travel to tournaments and write a blog/tweet about it (including drinking/crying over bad results).



I just learned that somebody did this. I'm kind of astonished.

Yeah, like she is going to be doing just this until the day she dies. Come on now.
I know who you are referring to. She ain't perfect, but she sure is sharp, talented , quick witted and passionate. It looks to me like she in in the process of figuring out her next career path.

I don't know her personally, I am not one of her twitter/blogger friends , but I do read her blog, can't say I agree with everything she has to say, but totally admire her guts, her sense of humor and a certain lack of inhibition.

I've read her blog too, it's a decent fan blog, written by a fan for fans. She definitely owns that niche, but I only just learned about the quitting her job, selling her house aspect of it and that kind of stunned me.
