You know you’re a blogger when….

I emailed some of my fav bloggy friends last week and asked them to fill in that blank…

This is what they said:
Meghan @ Perfect Compilation Tape

You know you’re a blogger when….

…you are an expert at mailing packages.
…you constantly check Twitter.
…your significant other often asks how certain bloggers are doing.
“You know you’re a blogger when…you tell your boyfriend he can’t eat yet because you need to take a picture of the food.”
“You know you’re a blogger when…you start a story with, ‘well my blog friend…'”
“You know you’re a blogger when…you plan trips and activities just so that you can make your blog friends real life friends.”

 You know you’re a blogger when you have 20 different social media apps on your phone and only one for news.

Erin @ Everything According to Erin

 you use acronyms and initialism like crazy. OOTD, IRL, NOTD, BBFF if you don’t have a blog you have no reason to ever use “Outfit of the Day”

Leslie @ Life in its Ordinary Form

 You Know you’re a blogger when…..
you refer to fellow bloggers by their blog title.

Ashleigh @ Life as I know it

 You know you’re a blogger when you share exciting news with friends in the blog world BEFORE you tell all your IRL friends 🙂

Vicki @ My Vickilicious Life

“you know you’re a blogger when you’ve neglected cleaning your apartment for days but have scheduled posts lined up for weeks!”

Kate @ Dancing in the Minefields

 I say you know you are a blogger the first time you think to text or tweet something to a blog friend before a “real life friend.” Its amazing how fast blog friends become some of your best friends!

Heather @ Life with Heather

You know you’re a blogger when…
 …at the oddest moments you think of a blog post and immediately write it on something otherwise you’ll forget!

Casey @ Stress Case

You know you’re a blogger when…your friends and family start referring to themselves and your fellow friends and family members by their blog nicknames

You know you’re a blogger when you love Erin Condren, you think “I should blog that” about every thought that enters your head, you can talk to IRL friends about blogging cause “they wont understand,” you feel the need to be caught up on all current trends and raves  

Caroline @ Simply Smithwick 

 

…when you look back at recent posts to see when you last wore a particular outfit.

…when you refer to other bloggers as “blog friends”.

…when you wake up in the middle of the night with an awesome post and have to right it down before you forget. 



And finally mine:
….When you’re boyfriend says “How was blogging today”
…When you spend time with blog friends and you spend the entire time talking about things only bloggers would understand
…You wake up an hour earlier to read blogs
….you think random number generator and rafflecopter have it out for you

Thank you to all my bloggy friends who helped out!!
So now I ask you…

You know you’re a blogger when _________?

    …you take a week off because you’re on your honeymoon and you’re still having trouble, a month later, catching up with everyone and getting your posts all caught up.

    But I’m slowly getting there 🙂

    Vicki is just spot on for me. I should be cleaning my house before I leave for work, but here I am catching up on my google reader and mentally drafting a post in my head.

    When your boyfriend hears “my blog friend” more than “my best friend”, or when he started out saying how happy he was for you with your blog success but now, since you tell him every day, he just says “well how bout that.” Yes my boyfriend is very Southern!

    Love this post Neely! I’ve got to say my favorite response was, whe you tell your boyfriend not to eat be you have to photograph the food. HA! So true. Poor spouses of bloggers must have it tough. 🙂

    when you know more about what’s happening in your blog friends lives than your real life friends.

    You start out a lot of stories, with “so, this blog I read”…or “this girl who’s blog I read”, etc.

    PS Love the new layout first time reading on a computer in a while!

    When your reader is just as important to you as your email.

    When you get a comment from a reader and it means more to you then a comment from a friend.

    My favorites were: when you’re telling a story and you start it off with “well, my blog friend…” I do this all the time.

    Also, when you are constantly taking pics of your food before you eat.
