featured blogger friday v6

i have been a sucky blogger/commenter this week. work has been kicking my behind, but instead of complaining i need to be thankful that someone wants me to do work for them right? see how i spun that?

thanksfully by 5pm today all of my deadlines will have been met, and i will be out drinking with SUEDE. i hope i don't spill my drink on him, i hear liquid stains SUEDE pretty easily.

thank god for featured blogger friday during this week of insanity because that means a fabulous blogger can do all the work for me!

this week's featured blogger is living the high life out in los angeles, looking for miss right. or miss right now - i think it depends on his mood.

when i started the featured blogger series this blogger immediately raised his hand volunteering to fill out the survey. and how could i deny him? he has an amazingly humorous yet brutally honest blog - i mean who doesn't enjoy reading about his attempts to find love? plus he is all around genuinely awesome!

i don't know what i'll do when he gets back in a relationship.

ok, ok, enough of my babbles. i know who you really want read about.


Who are you and what is your blog?

So@24 aka “SO” aka “Dude with the blue bar across his eyes”

www.Startingoverat24.blogspot.com

Where are you typing from?

I might be the only blogger that does my writing when I get home. I usually have to have a beer or two when I dive into the “more intense” posts. My job frowns on drinking during normal work hours.

Prudes.

How long have you been blogging and what platform do you use?

I started writing back in June of 2007

Blogger is the only way to go. None of that fancy schmancy wordpress witch craft. That’s right. I said it. Pick your side.

Sum up your piece of the internet in one sentence.

The brutally honest experiences and thoughts from a single guy trying to date for his first time at 25.

Are you an anonymous blogger or do you scream who you are from the rooftop?

I started off anonymous to protect others, but I’m not as strict anymore after my ex discovered my ramblings . I still keep a blue bar over my eyes in pictures, but I’ll most likely Facebook friend you if you ask. And I’m always down to meet up for drinks.

Do your readers know what you look like?

Readers probably got a pretty good idea from this post.

Or if you’re the anti-clicking-on-links type:

If you could become famous from blogging like dooce would you want to?

I don’t know who “dooce” is, but it sounds absolutely disgusting.

I don’t aspire to be a “famous blogger”, but if someone approached me for a book deal… what kind of asshole would I be to turn it down?

So you just drank a bottle of wine alone and you’re sitting at your computer, who are the three bloggers that you email or google talk with?

Wine is disgusting. Can I change this to whiskey?

I’ve been known to have drunk dials with Dolce til 3 in the morning. Pacific Standard Time. No joke.

I wish I was friends with Pistols at Dawn and could drunk gchat him. However, I get really intimidated by people reading my blog whose blogs are way funnier than mine.

Other than that, I usually just go through my So@24 inbox and answer emails.

How many blogs are in your google reader?

I don’t have google reader. Maxie tried to explain it to me once, but my brain exploded. I typically just go through my comments and click on the blog links.

If you had $1000 to spend and could only buy one item, what would you buy?

A piece of the Agro Crag. Doy.

What’s your favorite thing to do after 10pm?

Have a beer. Read a book. Cop a feel.

Don’t make me choose just one.

Top three favorite movies from your childhood.

La Bamba (not my Riiiiiichie!)

The Cutting Edge (toeeeeeee piiiiiiick)

Hook (Don’t mess with me! I’m a lawyer!)

Name something random that I could find if I was snooping through your purse/wallet?

A worn picture of a little girl I used to babysit. Is that creepy?

Link to a funny you tube video you like.

Wanna share a secret with me, I promise I won’t tell… <-- that’s a lie, but tell me something anyways.

I know way more about The Babysitter’s Club than I should.

Trust me.

** Spoiler Alert**

Book 3: Stacey’s Secret? She had diabetes.

If you could trade places with one blogger for one day who would it be and why?

Ben or Beardsy. You see how many comments from the ladies these guys get?

Who’s your blog crush?

I have crushes on anyone who takes time out of their day to actually read my writing. How flattering is that?? But I guess that’s a cop out/lame answer…

I already mentioned Pistols, but that’s more like bro-love.

And Kim from What Claudia Wore. Absolutely hilarious.

Parting words of wisdom?

I'll never understand how Dagwood scored a hottie like Blondie, but it gives me hope.
