Blogs

I'm going to try and drown out the sounds of my mother watching the freaks on Big Brother with the sound of my typing.

I want to talk about the blogs I read. I read a few.

One of them, an old friend from high school writes. We used to be part of the same clique (she was our queen bee). She spends most of her time on her blog slating celebrities. A lot of it is quite funny, but some of it's just harsh. But that, I guess, is the nature of women. From what I gather, she and a couple of the rest of our clique are really into Twilight, which makes me wonder how that all turned out. I was the geeky one, in all the rubbish trends, and they all took the piss. That was our thing. But now ... really, Twilight? I mean, yeah I read it, but ... I was suffering pretty badly when I did. And I was still pretty derisive. My mind boggles over that factoid. Anyway, she doesn't update much, and I think a lot of people just stopped reading her blog because it takes her so long to update. She says she's busy but ... aren't we all, these days? IDK, she's chosen a theme to her blog that you do need to be on the ball for. Look at how much Perez Hilton updates his blog.

One of them is by one of my Norwegian friends. Some of her comments - most of them - are written in Norwegian but I can get the gist of most of them. I know a few Norwegian words, and even less sentences. It's nice to read though, I'm not always great at staying in touch with her so her blog is a great way to keep updated. She doesn't have a theme, but that's kind of refreshing. I think blogs do better with a theme, but only if you're allowing yourself to deviate sometimes. But why can't the theme just be life in general?

Those two blogs are on WordPress btw. Not BlogSpot.

There's one I got into recently. For a laugh, I thought I'd check out 'Blogs Of Note' and came across 'the bitchy waiter'. It's such a good read, since I can relate to most of the things they blog about. People are trying to guess the sex of this person, but as they blog about the perils of working in the food service industry, maybe it's best they remain anonymous and androgynous. They've already said a fair bit about the type of restaurant they work in, is probably best not to go into specifics. They're hysterical anyway. That's what counts.

And then there are my friends on here:

Poppy Coburn (not her real name. I know her as Laurender Brown, she knows me as Nymphzeedora Tonks. Guess what book we love, lol) writes about clothes. She tried to do the 100 clothes in 100 days challenge, but she also talks about her purchases, vintage shops, etc etc. She's got a job in Toast, so I guess it's only fitting she blogs about clothes. She always has the nicest stuff on when I see her. Wish I could pull off the stuff she does.

"Lizzy" is my one work friend whose blog I read/know about. She posted on her facebook that she'd send the link if people replied and I did, so I feel honoured, lol. Her blog is like my Norweigan friend's, about day-to-day life. She says she tends to write when she's feeling negative. She hasn't posted a lot lately. It's the one time I'd say it was good not to see any new blog posts, lol.

And "Joanne" is the other person's blog I read. She used to have several, and the BlogSpot ones she had to invent for university, one was about her favourite music, and the other was all about positivity and her observations about life. That one she continues even past university. She's blogged about Barcelona and Barbeques lately though.

I miss my LiveJournal buddies though. Cassie and Joanne and Poppy and our other friends are all on there ... feel like I'm missing out. Wish I knew why LiveJournal kicked me off :(
