Happy Blogiversary to You!


It’s my two year blogging anniversary today! I’m so happy I actually remembered it this year (I forgot it last year) and it would be an excellent time for me to write a funny yet poignant post about this whole blogging journey and how awesome you all are for reading, and all that jazz.

But I’ve got nothing. No, I take that back. I’ve got the Writer’s Block. Yep. Got that in spades.

So what does a girl do for her blogiversary when playing WWF and pinning things just doesn’t seem to break down the wall between her and the most awesome post ever?

Well, she goes out on the internet and she reads all of the funny things on there. You know the stuff-- the stuff that you share with your coworkers, but often only choose to read at home because people start to worry about you when you laugh out loud in your office for no reason. Or because you do not want your coworkers to hear you snort coffee through your nose and onto your keyboard.

But that didn’t even get the juices flowing.

And that’s when I realized the best blogiversary gift I could give to you this year is a list of the funniest shit out there… So you can see it for yourself! And I’m not talking about Texts from Last Night, or Shit Girls Say, or even Damn You Auto Correct. They are funny—I’ll give you that, but there’s of so much more out there in the ether!

So here’s the list of funny things (with some of my favorite bits) that I have specially compiled just for you on this—the beginning of my third year blogging:

1)     The Bloggess. Yeah, I know about her, you know about her (unless you’ve been leading a field expedition in the Antarctic), and you may have even seen James Garfield or Beyonce or Copernicus the Homicidal Monkey, but seriously—it just gets funnier each and every time you read them.
2)     MamaPop. I came for the witty and oh-so-true recaps of the Walking Dead, and I stayed for EVERYTHING. My secret desire is that they will ask me to contribute someday, but I know nowhere near the amount that these writers do about celebrities. Maybe they’ll let me write Californication recaps?
3)     Oh, Noa. Now, I love just about everything that Noa does—including Funny Bitch Fridays, but my all-time favorite posts are Getting Your Degree in Not a Terrible Person (I’m the department chair in Basic Life Skills and Noa increased tuition in order to pay me well and give me my own research lab) and I Don’t Think You’re a Boring Whore. In that order.
4)     Sprocket Ink. Just go and check this out. I dare you to keep your visit to less than five minutes. These are the people who’ve just recently warned me about hybrid sharks
5)     My Drunk Kitchen. I want Hannah to cook for me, not just teach me to cook while intoxicated via vlog.
6)     Aiming Low. You know by now to expect good things from a place where the tagline is: Perfectly Mediocre.
7)     Dads are the Original Hipsters. This is one favorite that K and I share. I call that family bonding time. Plus, this one is interactive. If you have pictures of your hipster dad, you can submit them.

And there you are. A nifty little list of funny stuff to celebrate another year of blogging, and to also distract both you and me from the fact that I have nothing of note to write today!

Now, there was no way I could list everyone. I don't want people's feelings to get hurt. Did I miss some absolutely hilarious website? If so, share it with us in the comments!

  1. Happy Blogoversary!

    I can feel how much you enjoy this, as much as I do.

    My life is so different, so much happier, richer, good, because of blogging.

    It is something I think about like this: I think that if it were subscribed by mental health therapists for those going through any sort of hardship,dilemma/depression/transition that their recovery and remission would be hugely improved.

    But, that's just my opinion.

    Happy Blogoversary!
