Blogs to Love
I'm always searching for new blogs to love.
I currently read around 50 ranging from perennial favourites like Dooce and xkcd, to perennially superficial heavy hitters like Perez Hilton, The Superficial, and Go Fug Yourself. I love me some celeb gossip.
My geekier side added Mashable, Lifehacker and Jacks Of Science to my RSS.
Ashley was a sweet find off Blogher, because she lead me to Clink who lead me to Peter and Molly who lead me to OneBigHoliday and just yesterday Looks How the World Shines. I think that's how it went.
Somehow AJ found me and through her I found Amy and M (the details are getting blurry). Somewhere along the way Michelle and I started reading each others blogs, too. My sister told me about Rachel.
The jokesters at Humor Blogs showed me the wonders of Diesel, The Ominous Comma, The Frogster, Dan, Crummy Church Signs.
This could get crazy. I'll totally forget somebody if I list the other 30 or so blogs I read daily so lets leave it at this: I love reading blogs. But it is HARD to find other really good ones! I've tried Indie Bloggers (which is amazing- but I've already looked through EVERYBODY on that site), Cre8buzz, Blogher... All those sorts of sites make you categorize yourself. Like on cre8buzz. Am I "women"? I guess so, unless I'm "friends". I'm not any of their 8 cycling categories. Surely if you're going to have like 20 different CARS as categories you can separate "women" down a little further?
I've decided a generic label that applies to me is 20-something. There are some 20 somethings still in school, some working full time, some traveling. Some single, some married, some vigorously dating. I feel like that is a label that fits, you know?
Anyway, a while ago I created a ning community for 20-somethings. It doesn't have much of a community feel yet... hopefully more people can join. Even if we don't make it a community, at least it can be a nice area to collect a blog roll on people in their twenties. So go ahead and join if its a label that fits you, too! And link to it off your blog!

I LOVE xkcd.com. A friend of mine sends me the funniest comics from that site. Of course this male friend was a computer science major, so it explains the geek side. I also have absolutely NO romantic feelings towards him whatsoever and have NEVER written a post about him. ;)
Sigh.
Thanks for the shout out, love.
Hey Hey! I have yet to link the twenty somethings, but I will get on to that! :)

isn't it weird how you come to find people's blogs? blogher was a great resource and i found that thru dooce (which is my favorite blog of all time).
