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!
Happy Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
Now that's a fabulous list - off to check out the few I don't already know!
