Out of the Blue…

Posted on

Yes, I know the title is a cliche.  As a poet, these things are obvious.  As a few of you know, this blog is being written for a class I’m taking in college.  In college (one and a half more quarters to go!  Woot!) I’m required to take so many 400 level English classes.  My Living Writers course is one of those and this is the blog I write for it.  There are many interesting blogs I’ve been reading (required by the course, yes, but also very interesting, I promise).  There are a few I find particularly wonderful and would like to share with you all.

One of my absolute favorites is http://mycatthinksimfunny.blogspot.com/, a blog of hysterical, if not highly awkward, instances and events in my classmate, Natalie’s, life.  If you’re looking to laugh your ass off, this is one to follow.  Her humor is sarcastic and she describes herself like so:  “I’m an idiot, and probably deserve to be in middle school. In fact, that would be nice, because my popularity actually peaked in middle school orchestra. No, seriously. It did.”  I’m not joking.  One of the funniest people I’ve read.  Read her blog.

Another is my good friend Alison’s blog, http://idreaminmilligrams.blogspot.com/.  It’s a blog…about everything.  It’s supposed to be about dreams, but just like Alison, she couldn’t resist telling us about other ludicrous events and thoughts that will have you falling out of your chair–whether from astonishment or laughter…or both.  Also, she illustrates some of her posts–very cute and probably from Microsoft Paint.  I’m definitely not bashing Microsoft Paint, as they make the blog even better.

Only one more, I promise.  If you’re interested in anything about writing (which I’m assuming you are, since you read blogs, and that’s generally the crowd that gathers) there is a great blog from another one of my friends, Tom.  http://tommylammert.blogspot.com/  His is an interesting read, mostly about writing and thoughts about such things.  He’s an unbelievably prodigious  fiction writer, and thus I am drawn to his non-fiction blog as well.  If you don’t read his blog, you’ll never know how to properly write.  (I’m totally joking there, but seriously, amazing-ness to be had).

I don’t mean to throw these out of left field, but as a writer I like to expose my readers to other great writers.  While none of these are even remotely similar to my blog, I think they are still worth reading.  Mostly you’ll just be dying of laughter, but you might learn a thing or two as well.  Enjoy, Blogsie people.
