No. This time I didn’t do anything drastic like move to London or start a retail store or give up tanning. But, I did meet up with a complete stranger from New York for a two-day BlogDate in Chicago, which I may have mentioned one, or fifty times, on my FaceSpace. I had to make sure I mentioned it regularly in case one of you had to work or something and missed a status update.
Now I know you’re all waiting with baited breath for the details of this excursion, and I assure you, they are coming at you faster than a chubby, asthmatic kid chasing after an ice cream cart.
Alight, I am loving this whole BlogDate thing. Well, I know that I am viewed as a seemingly ‘creepy’ blogger that admires other great bloggers, but this is the kind of thing I was gravitating towards to. Although, as you put it Blunt, it’s not yet a definable concept, but it’s one that is definitely history in the making.
Reality BlogDating Shows…hmm…
BTW, are your free sometime next month?…For a date…
True – hmmm. I’m pretty booked next month with the magazine launch, i fear my dance card is full at the moment…
and yes, i like to think of myself as a history-maker. at the very least
Whatever, Brit. My blogdate was booked back in June. V = trailblazer.
v- true. but your lack of blogging about it may turn me into a millionaire.
i’m not saying i won’t cut you a share, gees.
V sounds like those poor saps who come up with a great idea only to let someone else patent it and make the money.
Shit.
V – at least you’re my sap.
Excellent vlog! And yes I agree, blog dating is likely “our future.” You should totally be doing more tutorials like this, otherwise your readers will just continue to stumble through this dark and scary world with no sense of purpose or desire. Please guide us.
The Doctor is in, and so early! Thank you, I fear there will be more tutorials in Blunt Delivery’s future. I mean, how can there not? I have to help people.
Hahaha! You’re ridiculous. Clear as mud, m’lady, clear as CRYSTAL mud!
I wasn’t going to watch it at all because WTF do I care about blog dating? But then I remembered who’s blog I was reading and figured it would be more entertaining than not 😉
Can’t wait to hear about your big date!!!
Me- COME ON, you should know better by now. It wasn’t really gonna be some helpful, stupid crap like that?
Good to see that in person you are just as rambling as in verse. Thanks for cleaning your room.
Yay! A reply button!!
BOOYA. I got this installed just for you, now be NICE! And, it’s not my room. BOOYA #2! And, of course, i have to ramble… there has to be some consistencies around here!
HAHAHAH I love how aggro this post is. I think it stems from said blog date being over…. 🙁
=( and uh, what the heck is aggro?
aggro is australian speak is getting aggressive… dont know what LITD means though hehe.
Aggro was also a puppet on australian childrens TV…

I applaud blunt + blog tutorials because they are so in keeping with the atmosphere of your whole blog. Love! I also appreciate the fact that sometime last night you evolved to wearing a tank top and braids in the above tutorial. because sometimes you can’t have everything all in one place.
Especially when that place = my room. Even I’VE managed to have fun in that room WITHOUT a webcam, tho maybe still in my underwear. I have a strong attachment to you and to that room, collectively and individually. and it’s easier if I remain happy around here. Here being my area of your home.
roomie – the webcam room = has a special place in its heart for you.
and please don’t allude to all the fun you’ve had in the various rooms of my house. unless it involves me, directly.
Who is the “unofficial Roomate”? Kenny??
he used to be my official roommate..but kenny is now…. prepare yourself… MARRIED! so no, the roommate thing wouldn’t fly. keep guessing.
I’m confused.
Ugh, “faster than a chubby, asthmatic kid chasing after an ice cream cart” – that could take a while. Love you, despite the Pocahontas braids.
V- you meant, love me especially because of the braids?
i’m so good at deciphering your love language
memories alluded to from this day forth will be only of our fun times. our memories = undoubtedly standing the test of time. all other memories of your home = fail.
So, ummm. Can we go on a BlogDate?
tay – yes. and yes.
Miss, your wisdom is deeper than the River Mpopo in the dry season. Do you have an ashram where I can sit and learn at your feet?
gorilla – you perplex and amaze me. i’m not sure whether to be happy or scared.
I feel like you really helped so many people understand that blog dating isn’t about being specific or about definitions. It’s about the Transparent Eyeball and the mind, and its influences, which is all part of nature’s vastness.
I had my students watch your video, and they took notes for me. And then the bell rang. Is that connected to blog dating as well?
PS. Love me forever.
vodka- my heart is yours. and if i had even the tiniest impact upon the students of this generation.. it was worth the hour it took to upload that to You Tube.
p.s. marry me
You need your own tv show, BD! You’ve got more style, grace, and comedic energy than Tine Fey. I’d watch it. 🙂
It was odd that my wife and I dated across the country for three years without the benefit of a webcam. All we had was phone, mail, and MySpace. 🙂
oh georgy… stop yourself! really you guys LD dated for three years without any video action?!? eewk! that is some serious dedication… no wonder you luuurve each other so much.
I agree. Although, this blog is way better than a tv show…It’s real and straight forward like watching Lindsay Lohan going through A.A., and comedic like watching a Blonde woman betting on football http://thedailyblonde.com/2010/09/blonde-football-101/
Let’s start with the fact that our ring wearing style, and choice of nail polish color, and desire to have perfectly organized shelves are completely congruent.
Let’s end by me stating that your humor and perfect hair make me wish I was your neighbor who always came over around 5 and brought cocktails. And peanuts.
You. Are. Just. FABULOUS.
j – i should have known we’d have the same taste in hand jewelry. UGH. why do you have to move to grubby cali. and if you were coming over every night at 5 with cocktails, you’d be jolene. cus she does. sans the peanuts. in fact, she just walked over to my couch with two glasses of wine filled so full that she couldn’t talk for fear they would spill. her excuse was that all she wanted to do was drink, and walking back to refill the glass would have disrupted that agenda.
you = should be here.
My favorite part was the library. I broke out into a cold sweat. Like James Brown.
love – you keep confusing me. what library?
Nude outtakes please.
Thank you.
you’ll have to ask jolene, my unofficial roommate, she’s in charge of the outtakes.
Ok, first off, love the blog tutorial. Ok, I’m lying, truthfully, I kinda wanna punch you for that bookcase I mean come on YOUR KILLING ME with your neatly compartmentalized chaos. And, it was because of the bookcase I missed most of what you were saying. Next time, take your video in a less distracting place, like a monastery, or a landfill. Please and thank you. 🙂
nikki – stop yourself. you know that your bookshelves put mine to shame with all your trash to treasure nifty organization techniques. they would probably make my bookshelves weep!
If you and V both can have a BlogDate, can I have a BlogNight stand then? That sounds more up my alley.
Words cannot describe how much I crave your presence in my life. Can we have another BlogFLoveTriangleFest with V? ASAP
lola – yes. and yes. faux trixie might have to join the triangle this time, making it a perfect square. hey so i might be going to NY in november…. how far are you away?!
It’s so easy for me to meet you in the city, if that’s where you’ll be. Just lemme know when and where and as long as i don’t have a friggen wedding-which is half of my November- I’ll be there. With some sexy ass bells on.
lola – we’ll talk. this = will happen
You pretty much just confirmed to me that you’re just as hilarious as I hoped you would be.
faux – get over here… now!
Get over where? Rockford? I am actually from DeKalb. Random, eh?
I’m still confused but, that’s nothing new. I want to hear more of this blog date you speak of. Love the vlogging. I can’t get up the nerve to do it myself.
I revamped my blog. Took a cue from you. Don’t you love being an inspiration to the rest of us?
jen – well, i pretty much made that on a whim at 3 am and looked like HEAL, but i thought – its important that the world stays abreast to the complicated realms of dating. had no intention of doing a Vlog, but hey.
loved the site!
bhahaha that’s fantastic! loved the vblog!
Well I have some work to do..I thought Ron YS and I had something special, then he went to Florida met that airhostess and shes had him whipped ever since…Denny is taken, bearman is married, LITD is taken, everyone is taken.. so I have some things to do:
1. Find new blog buddies who arent already blog committed
2. become intimate blog buddying with such people
3. commence blog dating…
lol
thanks susi! WHAT ron! son of a B. oh susi, don’t get down in the dumps, the blogosphere has billions of prospects for you!!!! i’ll be on the hunt
I like you better on paper but then again our love affair always was more spicy and sultry over a juicy pomagranit.
bff – yes, i agree. and i’ll never give up the written blogging. just doing something new and ridiculous. like the pomegranate (which you murdered the spelling of btw) gotta spice things up.
OMG, I LOLed so hard I had to put my lung back in 🙁 I once went on a non blog date and it was goddam creepy, dude kept eyebrow raising every time I said WTF.
friggen – i’m sorry, all that LOLing must have taken a toll on you. WTF? why was he so offended, it just means WHy THe Face?
I can’t believe I’m so late in getting here to learn about this blog-dating thing that I haven’t even heard of before. Your tutorial rocked and I couldn’t take my eyes off of your thumb ring. Not yo mention the Pocahontas do…Brit, I’m lovin’ you more and more. I mean to now get to see you in motion…what could be better…okay maybe tollhouse cookies and milk, but other than that, nothing…no maybe a margarita…but that’s it….well, I better mention my hubby or he might get upset, but really that’s it. Nothing else could be better…really!
jillsy – please, leave it to me to keep you up to speed on everything new in the world. my thumb ring is compliments of a little store that i used to own in the mall. its from africa, so it would be a bit tricky to try to get you one. but don’t think i won’t try.
Easy,
‘A sole’ is a fish that people wear on the bottom of their feet
‘Life’ is a song by Des’ree in which we discover her preference for toast, should it get supernatural.
A ‘dream’ is where logic goes drinking to find itself
To figure out ‘why we are here’ to make toast for those with haunting wheat allergies.
This is the quantum vacuum’s bid to not collapse into a tautology but yet I still have not found out what blog dating is. As I now suspect it is not about how to figure out how old a blog is. So please be kind.
Id est http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUOVnkFykv8 my curious catnip.
winston – man i miss Des’ree. Wasn’t she the one who sang that song Kissing You from Romeo and Juliet?
and thank you for your clarification on some of life’s most perplexing mysteries! you always come in so handy.
Okay, I know I’m not supposed to be blogging again until tomorrow, but I had to stop by tonight to check out your first vlog post.
BRAVA!!!!!
OMG…I LOVE YOU, WOMAN!!! You are HYSTERICAL! And it’s so wonderful to actually see and hear you. Listen, I think you and I should start making vlogs together. We could be the next Blunt and Ron talk show vloggers. Can you imagine the fun we would have? You could share dating tips and I could share beauty tips. We’ll make MILLIONS!
So looking forward to your next! Hope you had a great weekend, girl!
X
Ron- don’t kid yourself. you know you can’t quit me!!! even if you are supposed to be on sabbatical! yea i was on the fence about doing a VLOG, but i’ve received pretty good feedback so maybe, just maybe there will be another one. dude, we = must do a combined blog!
I was DEFINITELY making note of the perfectly organized bookshelf.
You are hysterical, we NEED TO HAVE OUR OWN BLOG DATE.
candice – four way date. you +me + lola + V… Chitown.
As soon as my new business picks up baby, I’m making this happen.
not gonna lie, i have mad bookcase envy right now. and feel compelled to go organize my office a bit.
Fortunately I will pass my bedroom on the way to the office and will likely go to sleep instead…. but maybe I’ll come watch this video again tomorrow and try my luck then.
hey maggie! thanks for stopping by! see, this is why i was apprehensive about doing it in my office… look at all the controversy and stress i’ve caused!!!!
“The perfectly organized bookcase behind me.” ie. your library. Er, maybe it’s just me that calls his bookcase his library. And his orchid, his garden.
love – that is def not a library -that is an ugly office bookcase with random crap that i can’t find a place for. now, my actual room has floor to ceiling bookshelves that would definitely give cause for sweating. but calling an orchid a garden is just preposterous.
No big deal . . . but it sounds like someone needs to come to your neck of the woods to check out your (ahem!) “bookcase.”
How’s Essence Mag this month? I don’t see any behind you. Where do you keep your stash?
vodka – only if you tag along
Blog dating…the newest crave…..hmmmmm ..zman sends
Oh my word!!!!!!!!!! You are so cute!! I’m seriously LOL’ing now… !!!!!!!! I want a blogdate. I’m totally jealous of yours!
wine – yes, yes you do want a blogdate. maybe that can be my new profession!? matching people up for blogdates!
I don’t ask questions, I’m opposed to them as a general rule, too complicated and then people think you want an answer.
there’s a check box under your submit button that doesn’t have a description of what it’s for, it might be a question so I un-checked it.
linlah – the box is for showing your most recent post, i don’t know why it doesn’t say that! i’ll get my girls on it asap~
Pingback: Boy + Girl + Blogging + Chicago + Frizzy Hair = BlogDate
Oh man, I loved this. Your video is wonderful. Also, you should start BlogDate.com and solidify your career as a Blog Date guru. If that doesn’t pan out, there’s always Bookcase Organizer.
sherri – good idea. currently on the hunt for investors… and i’m looking your way little lady.
