After seeing a similar post on Izzys blog
I used some of her ideas
As well as some of my own
Let me know if you can think of any others
When you wake up in the morning
And the first thing you do is check your comments, blog reader and other blogs
When you ask your friend/partner/family member to take a photo of you when you are doing any thing remotely interesting
When you have to take said photo ten times as you try and find one that you approve of and that is blog worthy
When you take photos of every meal you've ever eaten
And won't let others eat theirs until you've taken a photo of theirs
When you are immersed in your phone/laptop for X number of hours a day blogging, updating and reading
When you suddenly get an amazing blog post idea and have to excuse yourself to write said ideas
When you pick the user name that you wished you were really called eg Ruby
I know some of you know my real name and it's not a million miles away from Ruby but I still prefer Ruby
Also Ruby Tuesday is a nod to TheRolling Stones song as I am a huge RS fan
When your online social life is more active than your real life social life
When you are closer to people on line than you are with those in your real life
When you have a complete and utter melt down when there is no wifi
When something happens and you think 'That will make a great blog post'
When you pour your heart out in blog post at 3am crying, mascara everywhere, glass of wine in hand
When a parcel arrives in the post and you know it's from one of your beautiful bloggers
When you hit the Publish and that sense of satisfaction that you have completed blog post no 856
When your phone pings that you have a comment, you get excited every time
The sheer frustration when you spend ages writing a post and blogger decides to eat it
When you read another blog
And it puts in to words exactly how you are feeling
When someone leaves a comment on your blog that makes your whole day
When someone tells you that they feel that way too and you don't feel so alone
When you are away with no wifi and you go in to blogger induced withdrawal
"When you suddenly get an amazing blog post idea and have to excuse yourself to write said ideas"
ReplyDeletewait, wait...it's not only me that does this?!?! i have a few posts in my feed that's just 'oh, when you can be arsed write about ___'! i'm dying!
I KNEW IT WAS THE ROLLING STONES SONG. at first, i thought it was the US restaurant but then i slowly got to the conclusion that it was the Rolling Stones song.
gosh, i don't even know why i'm Sam Lupin. i actually prefer the Percy i refer to myself countlessly but Sam is very close and it's what this blog was built on.
(When something happens and you think 'That will make a great blog post').
oh my gosh yes!
(When you pour your heart out in blog post at 3am crying, mascara everywhere, glass of wine in hand)
no makeup for Sam and no wine for Sam. more like eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's WHEN blogging about pints of Ben and Jerry's and subtlety stating that i'm a wreck in between the lines ;)

*waits for Bella to pop up in the comments soon*
*Lolita sent yummy things*
Sam does not send parcels as of yet. maybe one day when Sam decides NOT to spend on her money buying food and gym clothes.
"When you hit the Publish and that sense of satisfaction that you have completed blog post no 856" GOSH. after deleting my blog posts, i'm just waiting to hit the magical 100 so i can feel like an actual blogger again.
"The sheer frustration when you spend ages writing a post and blogger decides to eat it"
for me, this is more of the sheer frustration when i spend ages trying to write a comment and blogger eats it up.
OR when it tells me that stupid thing where (oh, you've surpassed ____ characters) and even when i split it into two halves, it don't work. i mean...come on.
"When someone leaves a comment on your blog that makes your whole day" OMG YES
"When you are away with no wifi and you go in to blogger induced withdrawal"
or when you go out of the country for a little while and come back and have 3000+ posts to catch up on and it's either great fun or great misery depending on how many posts there are and if you're like me and write huge comments when that's where the evening's all gone!
-Sam Lupin
He he Sam you are so funny
DeleteAnd I'm so glad that you can relate
And it's not just me
Oh the perils of being a blogger.....
Love you x

-Sam Lupin
I'm glad Sam

You are a superstar x
So true!

DAMN YOU SAM! I just replied to your comment on Lolita's post and now I see you here?!
"When a parcel arrives in the post and you know it's from one of your beautiful bloggers"
Love this. I've started keeping track of parcels I send. 99% of my disposable income goes to Australia Post! I'm the only one in the house who ever gets real mail, from people not just companies. I have an archive box in my wardrobe filled with everything I've ever gotten in the post (that hasn't been used), even every envelope! I'm a terrible hoarder but it's too precious to get rid of.
xxxx
I love love love getting parcels in the post
DeleteAnd I also love sending them too
I get a great kick out of both
And yes
I keep everything that's sent to me
Carefully put where I can treasure it
Hope you're doing ok Bells x
This is awesome and so relatable XD love you to bits ^-^
ReplyDeleteLove you too hun x
