Bloggy love. It’s what’s for dinner.
Well not really, but it sounded good, right?! =P
I’m guest-posting for Toni while she’s off on her fabulous Florida vacation. Did you hear me?! I, me, MOI, am guesting for TONI! Now you obviously know this, since you’re reading it, but stay with me here. I’ve got a point, I promise.
There are mommy-bloggers, and then there are MOMMY BLOGGERS. You know, the ones that like everyone knows by their first name. They’ve got huge personalities and massive followings…they’re the celebs of the blogosphere. But unlike Brad Pitt or other celebs du jour, if you reach out to one of them, they’ll actually respond! Well, mostly. There are some that are so huge (not literally, come on, people! I definitely didn’t just call them fat…) that they can’t respond to everyone anymore.
So when Toni tweeted about needing some guest posters for her vacation, I jumped – “Ooh! Ooh! Me, me! Pick me!†And holy crap…I’m writing a post for her blog. It’s like getting into a conversation with someone on Twitter who has a bajillion and a half followers. There’s just something so great and cool about being recognized by a “somebodyâ€!
Basically, there’s just mad bloggy love out there. Tons of it. So abundant that there’s plenty to go around. How many things in the world can we really say that about these days? Free and plentiful, so good for us, and readily available.
Not to wax all poetic here, because there are also plenty of (as Toni would refer to them) Joe Jerk’s and Sally Stupid’s out there. And let’s not forget our dear friends Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. Me? I have no catchy names for them, they’re just TROLLS, as far as I’m concerned.
But despite the efforts of the Anonymous Commenting Trolls Club (ACTC), there’s just bloggy love everywhere. I find it’s mostly from mommy-bloggers, but hey, that’s who my buds are. I assume it’s the same in other genres. Want someone new to hang out with (via the magic of the internet, anyway)? Find a blogger. You won’t find a more fun (or funny, if I say so myself) group. Need some support while you go through the very worst time in your life and deal with things you never imagined? Find a blogger. Because someone out there is going through it, too, and they’ll be grateful for your friendship. We mommy bloggers are a fiercely loyal and supportive group, just try us. Feeling sheer greed and the need for free stuff? You all know the answer to that is to find a blogger! (Come find me, that’s how I roll, yo!)
So, you members of the ACTC, come on down. Extend a hand. We won’t bite (well, after the first time…you’ve been bad and must be punished!). You obviously need a friend.
And to the rest of my bloggy friends, thanks for being there and being a pal. We may only know each other over the internet, but you all are crazy important in my life. And if we aren’t friends…come on over, because you KNOW you want to come visit me at my site now! You visit me, I love you long time. And maybe give you free stuff. =P
*Note from Toni: OMG this is my new best friend. I had no idea what people were writing until I saw the finished post/vlog and Amy has deemed me a celebrity! Woo Hoo! Talk about going out with a bang! Flattery afterall, will get you everywhere. I agree 110% aside from minute incidents the blogworld is full of love and support. I mean really when The Sphors lost their daughter and when McMama’s child had to be in the hospital and even when I posted about my moms cancer the support was amazing and that is what blogging is all about. Writing for yourself, and supporting others the way you hope to be supported. No one is your competition unless you make them your competition. Spread the love and support one another, it’s what makes the world go round. And in the famous words of Michael Jackson “Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race” Spread the love and support one another it really will make life worth living :)”
