Blog Loving

The other day I had a weird realization. I was talking to a friend (about what I can't remember...) and I said something like 'that happened to a friend of mine.' She asked who? Undoubtedly, wondering which one of our many mutual acquaintances I was talking about... I paused and then replied 'Um, 'cough' myblogfriend 'cough''.
In that moment I realized that I can never make fun of those people who play World of Warcraft again. It was always such an easy target, they spend hours online and form relationships with people that they have never met. And now I see, I'm no different.
It's true. Through blogging I have 'met' people who I'm sure I could meet up with and fall into easy conversation. When something happens to them (a job situations, a loss, a pair of too tight pants), I sympathize and I feel for them. My name is Jentine and I have online friends. True story.
I also have online crushes. Really, all I need is a virtual husband and some virtual pets and I'd be all set, wouldn't I? Anyways, back to the crushes... I haunt these ladies blogs frequently, they all have good taste, they are unique and have better grammar than I do... Check them out!

Song of the Exile

I love Julia's haphazard approach to layering. Her photography is amazing as well. The colours are saturated and she makes an abandoned object look like it belongs in a magical land. But even more than her style and photography, I love her writing. It isn't often that I feel completely tongue tied by writing. In fact, it hardly makes sense to be tongue tied because, the luxury of responses allow us to think and mold before we write. Julia will write a particularly thought provoking post and I'll be all gung-ho to respond and then I suddenly can't think of the right words to write. My vocab is reduced to the level of the text messages sent by a 6th grader(seriously, do 6th garders need a cell-phone? Never mind, we'll get into that some other time...). Lol Julia, you always look gr8....

Kendi Everyday

I somehow stumbled upon Kendi's blog and I was instantly hooked. Her 'about me' reads as follows...'People think that when you get married and move to a small town,that you should get pregnant. i started a blog. (it's a girl).' In a far too personal way, I can relate. Her style is approachable and always pretty. I know half of fashion blogging is about getting outside of your comfort zone and pushing the limits but it should NEVER be at the expense of how you look. She gets that. Another great part of Kendi's blog, is her cute way of identifying where her outfit was purchased. You know, if I had computer skills, I'd totally rip off her idea and run like a bandit. However, I don't have computer skills and I'm in winter hibernation, so no running for me.

These are my three current crushes. If you want to be all high school, you can crush on them too...

P.S. I just saw that Have a Cute Day put up a feature about me... and they called me humble! Which I love but I do think I need to work on my humility. That said, Matt and I do always talk about how good-looking, funny, smrt and humble we are...

Thank you so much ladies for featuring me! I am now, indeed, having a cute day!
