Five Blogs That Appeal To Camille

I, like, Jane do not read online. For years I prided myself on having 20/20 eyesight and now that that has proven to no longer be the case I strive to retain that which I do have. Reading online is also not conducive to my loungy-pretzel style of reading. Thus the idea of coming up with five blogs that I regularly follow sounded like a task.

How does one even find blogs anyway? After a futile Google search that availed nothing, I started doing what I usually do online to distract myself. I went to Facebook, and lo and behold (because this is the turning point in the narrative and thus a realisation is required)on my Home page my friend had posted another funny post to his page that he links to his FB page. I always read his page. He's Grenadian, a fellow graduate of Hunter College, intelligent, sarcastic, dedicated commentor on the ills of society, ardent Fête-r (Caribbean partier), vain about appearances/into aesthetics, young professional and a Matrix red-pill popper...in a word very similar to me. Yet, in reading the commentary that he posts on his page, it never truly dawned on me that I was *gasp* "following his blog". After all reading and writing blogs are for teens, hipsters and people with way too much time on their hands. But here I was, non-teen, non-hipster, woman with activities to occupy my mind and time somehow part of the world of "the blog". (Ugh, the horror)

Having made this startling discovery, I stopped consciously searching for blogs and just looked a little more closely at that which I naturally read online anyway...Here now is the list of the "pages" I find interesting, the "pages" I read on a regular basis, the "pages" I distract myself with when writing a paper I would rather ditch for a stroll through the park or a Bollywood movie. Here now are "the blogs I follow":
