I want to blog more.

I feel like I always have things I want to talk about but then never do. Thus maybe here's where I should do it. Air my greivances, ideas, mumblings, etc.

So first of all I just want to update on my google favorites. I don't know what it is, it's just the constant state of flux seems indicative of how I feel. Maybe I'll talk about myself more in a future post. I have no idea.

1000 Awesome Things I've talked about this previously. I've been here since thing like 950 or something and now it's on #610 so I'll be here until they get to thing 1 or stop updating. Whichever one comes last.

50 JDates So this blog is about a 26 year old jewish woman who took a break from her goyim (non-Jewish) boyfriend to date 50 jewish men to try and find her beshert (soulmate). It's aweosme to read her forays into mostly internet dates and the pitfalls and wins along the way.

My college's blackboard site. Gack. I go here to get notes and grades and homework. You don't want to go there so no links

Cake Wrecks These guys make me laugh with their comedic writting style and the pathetic examples of actual "professional" cakes

Calorie Counter yep I still count calories and I'm still fat. However I have an addictive personality and can't stop.

DAR Yeeeeeeeah... WARNING don't go here if you're uncomfortable with cartoon penises and talking about sperm haha. It's the autobiographical comic of an artist that's stretches half a decade. It covers her lesbianism, discovery of a boy she likes, living in portland, marriage, sexual exploits, random thoughts, etc. It updates weekly it seems, so there's a really good chance I'll find some other way to follow.

Dispatches from the Island Do you watch Lost? Do you love Hurley? Then follow the actor Jorge Garcia's blog. He seems so sweet and funny and nice. :)

Facebook What do you want from me? I'm in college and I need easy access so I can harvest Farmville crops or Cafeworld food or Mafia Wars rackets. Have I mentioned I have an addictive personality? Should have never started playing, I can't stop

The Frisky I love this blog. The staff there writes about things I want to read about. Sure I don't agree with all of it, but who will agree with everything ANYONE does? I like reading about clothes, scandals, politics, sex, celebrities, health, television, etc.

Hijab Style I love hijabis. I don't know what it is, but when it's done in a modern yet still observant way I just can't tear my eyes away. I also am toying with the idea of wearing hijab when I study abroad. So I want to look pretty when I do so. Plus without a headscarf many of the outfits are still so cute and modest. I'm not comfortable showing off 6/7ths of my naked skin, so if it's good enough for hijabis it's good enough for me

KimDonesia This is a new return. After Kim's much discussed and controversial rejection of Islam she sort of dropped off the face of the planet so her blog disappeared. Thus I removed it. But now she's returned to blogging and I'm back to absorb some of that quirky and funny attitude. The subjects she writes about now are radically different from before however she still seems to have the same essence her writings always had before. So eff anyone that says she's "completely different" or any mumbo jumbo like that. If you can't handle a change of religion and someone's free choice then you never looked past their religion to who they were. That's quite intolerant.

Memoirs of a Jewminicana So I'm also taking Hebrew now and thus have been looking at blogs that are related to Judaism. So one that I found and particularly took a shining to was one by Aliza Hausman who is a Dominican convert who is currently married to a rabbinical student. I like it as it's interesting to hear about her issues with not being ethnically jewish within the jewish community.

Modblog This is where I go to see cool tattoos and piercings. Not so into the suspensions, scarification, and really bizarre things. But love seeing things I normally wouldn't. WARNING: Frequent nudity and blood

Neatorama Want to read neat stuff? Go here. I started three and a half years ago and never stopped.

Nubbytwiglet I'm drawn to interesting souls, what can I say? So Nubby is a graphic designer living in Portland that updates the world on her work, unique outfits, and is just generally pretty cool in my opinion.

People of Walmart So to tell you the truth I've never seen anyone particularly interesting in Walmart. However I must not be looking hard enough. Also this blog always makes me feel just a little better about myself.

Slice of Lemon I love Sabrina. I love how fun, carefree, funny, and honest she is. I love reading about her and her husband "The Boss" and their new house in LA and them discovering their new life together. :)

Trailer Addict I love movies. I love movie trailers. I love Trailer Addict. End of story.

Twilight Source Yep. I'm one of THOSE girls. I'm addicted it's like crack to me. I started out thinking that Twilight was stupid and then read the books and couldn't put them down. Again, addictive personality I'm telling you.

Hegab-Rehab and more specifically Ange's private blog about her life and marriage "I Married a Masri". This girl is fearless about what she says. She's not afraid to swear and talk about anyone and anything in the bluntest terms possible. Plus hearing about her dealings with her Arab friends, families, and acquaintances makes me laugh and smile.

Anyway, I know this was dumb and two favorites posts in a row was redundant. But they were a longtime apart and they've changed some. Plus this was actually pretty revealing and cathartic because it made me reconsider what I actually use and look at everyday and groom accordingly.

I promise a real update soon though. However I'll be going back home form uni soon for winter holidays and my internet situation is quite sketchy there. HOWEVER: I'll make a New Years resolution right now to blog more. Not because I want 600 followers or anything, but because I need an outlit for my feelings and thoughts. Besides I'm such a consumer of blog content but have no offerings of my own. Who knows where this blog will go. Hopefully nowhere but up.
