Happy Tuesday, folks. What is up!? I am in a happy mood…it’s been a good week so far, just because. I haven’t blogged in errrrrr, 2 weeks(?) because I haven’t felt like it. I am too obsessed with instagram to care about the other forms of social media right now. Plus, I feel like I catch up with my favorite bloggers on there anyway. However, as I was stalking all y’all (shout-out to my Nashvillian) on google reader, it put me in the mood to make a sarcastic list. Yes, I will probably offend people. Sorry, I’m not sorry. = (#1.) OMFG stop saying this. And if _________ is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. WE GET IT. YOU LIKE ________ a [space] lot.
Things that make me wanna de-google reader your ass:
2. You just c’a'n’t seem to differentiate between your and you’re. Whenever I come across this mistake, I say “really???” in my head. You’re turning me into a psycho, people, and I can’t be screaming out loud in my cubicle without a trip to HR.
3. You post 832 angles of your oats in a jar. I mean they are so rare and all, but one pic does the job just fine.
4. Same goes for your vegetables. These kids should probably read your blog though.
I loved that series, whatever happened to it?
5. You copy other recipes exactly, then re-post them as “adapted”. I could care less if someone is inspired by or copies a recipe…just be honest about it! At least change the salt measurement from 1/2 tsp to 3/4.
6. You make me click
through.
Oh wait, I already deleted you.
What makes you wanna de-google reader me? I would suggest my sweaty workout pics, but I’ve had far too many hits from “butt sweat” searches to validate that one. Gonna have to go with my knee rehab recaps…sporadic, repetitive…even I got sick of them ha! The current update is that I am now allowed to GO TOTALLY CRAZYYYYYYYYYY at the gym and I am loving it. Oh, and I can hop. Saweeeeeeeet.
What blogs do I need to have on my reader? I believe after a bit of winter cleaning I will need additional entertainment :-)
My least favorite thing of all things is when someone links to a recipe, but the link is actually a post that contains a link to another post that contains a link to a recipe.
UGH.
Hopping?! WA—-HOOOO.
I second all of your reasons…& like your sweaty butt.
You are JUST getting sick of sixteen-different-photos/angles-of-my-food/meals? Even if they are great photos, you detract from the best ones by posting more than a couple…because I’m already scrolling through mindlessly. Oh & oats. Really? You all love oats? No way. I had no idea.
How about…having ads smack dab in the MIDDLE of your POSTS? Seriously, I know your blog is so 100% awesome & successful, advertisers are beating each other up to get to your blog space; but please…maintain a little dignity. Once it was a stupid car commercial video that started playing (LOUDLY) in the middle of my office! AH.
I’ve been cleaning out my reader too. Sadly, I can’t seem to give the above one up. Her recipes are stellar. What sort of blogs do you like? I think I’ve sort of been moving outside of “the circle”. Here is one that cracks.me.up (ha I bet that.bugs.you): http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/04/wild-animal-simple-dog-goes-for-joy.html though she has not been posting often recently. The simple dog reminds me of Eisley.
“a [space] lot” HAHAHAHA
uh…please don’t add over-commenting to that list….
hahahaha. I friggin love you! adding hyper now!
Love this post! That’s all I have to add. Besides stating I’d rather look at sweaty pics than oatmeal pics. :)
me too! at least sweaty people are funny (to me anyway)!! :)
Sometimes I just stop reading blogs all together so I can focus on IG. Seriously, it gives a better story of what’s up anyway.. no words needed!
Your list was dead on and made me laugh! I couldn’t agree more with these! #6 was awesome. Did you know you can put those kinds of blogs into this site:
http://fulltextrssfeed.com/
And they will full feed!
ANYWAY. You are in my reader for life. Even though you say “could care less” instead of “couldn’t care less” ;)
ahhhhh, LOVE IG. Didn’t know about the fulltext thing but of course I am blog reading challenged ;) I totally need to stop writing could care less…it’s my philly slang (my excuse). reader4life…I would die without penny and randy pics!
What is IG?
instagram :)
Thought maybe that was it. Aw, you all & your fancy phones. Alas, my phone is just a phone. Dave lets me use his iPhone (work pays) for fun stuff like that though.
Amen to the 800+ photos. We know what oatmeal looks like! Oh and add salads to the list while you’re at it.
But it’s SPECIAL lettuce! with CHIA seeds!
I am terrible…when there are 10 copies of something, I am literally thinking ‘bla, bla, bla’ in my head as I scroll through.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head, the grammatical errors kill me. And repetitiveness also drives me nuts, like I don’t need 10 different angles of one thing.
Haha! I love this post! :) So true about the oatmeal!
