Look away

June 25, 2008

If there were any correlation between the blogs I read and my sexuality then for at least the first four years of my internet usage, I was absolutely a lesbian.

Lately, however, there seems to be a flourishing of male bloggers, hilarious male bloggers, and although they’re making a mess of my Google Reader and leaving dishes everywhere, I’m happy to see them.

I went through a handful of groups of friends in high school, but there were a few constants, two of them being Dan and Pat, and if I had to attribute my odd sense of humor to a certain time period it would revolve entirely around the time I spend with them, which almost always results in laughing so hard that I have to juggle between hiding my hideous facial contortions and holding my stomach so that I can breathe air.

The three of us went to the same college. I left after a year, but was able to see enough of their dorm to make eight semesters worth of snide remarks about the SpaghettiO-crusted Tupperware containers in the corner and that stupid rug. It was always bunched up. ALWAYS.

Now they’re finally fulfilling their internet obligations and blogging together at sureboutthat.com, which they explain like so:

A blog is what happens when two people (of the same gender) like each other very very much but are both heterosexual.

It’s still new, but they already have a few entries up, and if you’re bored at work and in need of some reading material, well…have at it.

    The crusty tupperware brings me back to a time when I couldn’t visit the bathroom in my boyfriend’s dorm. Boys can be so gross when left unattended.

    Hurray for us men!

    You’re totally right. The blogging world is extremely Y-chromosome deficient. Need more fellow men out there talking about manly stuff.

    And it doesn’t hurt that the entries they have up there are pretty good so far.

    I like to think I am one of those Hilarious Male Bloggers.

    Even if I’m not.

    I like to think it.

    So don’t ruin it for me.

    Thanks for the ol’ plug-a-roo Rachel.

    And Pat and I both have butts. And cameras. So you never know when you’ll get your wish.

    Almost all the blogs I read are female. I need more males!

    The male blogging world is interesting. But I must admit, its also entertaining.

    Male bloggers write from perspective I feel like female bloggers don’t. It’s like entering a whole new not-so-secret world.

    99% of the blogs i read are by females. it’s been that way since i was 16. i just never saw very many guys around back then though like i’m starting to now.

    but i’m a actual lesbian. so now i’m confused. i think my opinion on this is null and void. lol.
