link love
it’s time for reciprocating a little link love to those wonderful people who link to my blog. the following are the top ten blogs of people i know that send people my way. but just like its wrong to barf out a #followfriday tweet with a contextless list of names, it would be wrong for me to share these links without explaining a little bit about them. so, here we go:
-
windblownandhappy.blogspot.com this is my old friend sophie and her husband morgan’s blog. sophie was the roommate of my first girlfriend at byu, but our friendship continued after the relationship didn’t. she is big into the outdoors and every time i read her blog i realize how lazy i am for reading blogs instead of being out running.
-
itsallyellow.blogspot.com yellow is one of the head editors for the byu 100 hour board. he is also a former coworker, former roommate, and current friend. he doesn’t update this blog much anymore because i think he is busy with other things in his life, but there are some occasional fun posts.
-
nataliefoell.blogspot.com i met natalie at a church fireside last summer. i don’t know her too well but every time we saw each other on campus we would say hi. and since she links to my blog, she must be cool.
-
sushiigirl.blogspot.com this is jackie’s blog. jackie and i go way back… actually i met her sister only a week or so after getting back from my mission in japan. then when i came out to byu, i recognized the connection and we had an awkward hello at the cereal bar in the morris center (RIP) cafeteria. ever since then we have had various levels of friendships, including spending two months in japan together during summer of ‘07. she needs to update her blog.
-
amycchow.blogspot.com amy is a new addition to my group of friends! she worked with my group here at intel for the first month of this summer and we still see her a lot her on the campus. she is hardcore about triathlons and also makes me feel quite lazy.
-
nanti-sarrmm.blogspot.com nanti is an online acquaintance (only met once or twice in meatspace) met through a couple of byu-related message boards. the first was the illustrious but now lost in internet history byu facebook network message board. we also had a number of interactions on the still active 100 hour board reader message board.
-
brittbeelynn.blogspot.com britt is another friend i met indirectly through the 100 hour board: her sister, a current writer at the time, took me up on my request to date writers in order to gain access to exclusive parties. we went out for lunch, and though things didn’t go anywhere, i started hanging out with her and her sister.
-
canuckette.blogspot.com eileen is anther friend from those freshman days long past spent in deseret towers. we met, i swooned, and i asked her on a date. didn’t go anywhere except that i found out she was a totally cool girl and we have been “internet” friends ever since. she plays world of warcraft, which means we can forgive her for being canadian.
-
chillygator.blogspot.com chilly is one of those people who apparently knows everyone. in fact, most of you reading this probably already read her blog. we met through some mutual friends and quickly became close pals. i even spent this last weekend hanging out with her in san francisco. anyway, go check out her blog at least for her cool photography.
-
tismabel.blogspot.com mabel and i were in hello dolly together. we spent the rest of the spring and summer of ‘07 having crazy times with the gang. her blogs have been lacking lately…
ok, hope you enjoy some of these blogs! and btw, for those of you with blogger based blogs who use the blog feed sidebar widget: i think you need to put my RSS feed in again since google screwed everything up with the feedburner conversion. though, i guess if your blog has the wrong RSS feed, you probably aren’t reading this anyway… explains my 50% drop in readers…
