You might be a blogger if...
- You use the words "snarky" or "kwim" in real sentences.
- You coin words like "blama" (blogger drama) and think nothing of the fact that no one knows what you're talking about.
- You never take a bite before snapping a picture of your food.
- You converse and think in 140 character increments.
- You mentally write a blog post about everything you do or see.
- You expect people to give you free stuff just for showing up.
- You're often tempted to scream "Do you know who I AM?!" when things don't go your way.
- You think nothing of having a laptop, iPad, and smart phone open and running at the same time.
- You know where every outlet is located at all times.
- You introduce yourself with two names - your "real" name and your twitter handle - and don't really expect anyone to recognize the first one.
- You know more about your friends in the computer than the ones in the carpool lane.
- Your friends are scattered around the globe and you've met fewer than a handful in real life.
- You snap photos of your baby doing disgusting or dangerous things before running to her rescue.
- You're part of a top secret Facebook group, Stumble community, or Skype chat room.
- You're the "mayor" of every business in your town."
- Your Twitter followers know you're pregnant, engaged, or getting divorced before your family or friends.
- You've officially out-geeked even the geekest of your middle-school friends and know how to code your own site.
- You have another 10 things to add to this list. (Go on, add them in the comments!)

Brilliance and truth. #thatisall
We also forgot hashtagging off of Twitter.
Hysterical! The part about taking pics of food before eating it drives my husband up the wall :)
I am ALWAYS scanning the room for outlets!
Um ok I will bite, what is kwim? And oh my goodness...my hubby thinks I am keeping apple in business with my macbook pro, ipad, and iphone all going at the same time. Great list!
I love this post! I would add that I always have little notebooks lying around with scrawled phrases for blog posts inside.
This is hilarious (mostly because of how much I can relate)! I am here for the first time via @2manyfish2fry's tweet congratulating you on your being BlogHer 2011 Voices of the Year Honoree! Congrats! I look forward to checking out your blog in the days to come.:)
I have another one to add that annoys my husband! You wat with a fork in one hand and your smart phone in the other! lol Apparently I do this quite often!
"You're often tempted to scream "Do you know who I AM?!" when things don't go your way." <---- This one made me LOL. I find myself thinking this way too often.
so funny, so true. although I have to say that I have been saying snarky since I was in college more then 2 decades ago. picked it up from someone else and found it to be a perfect word...kwim?
Well.....I have seriously considered changing my middle name to _N so my real name would be my twitter name. :) LOL I love this post!!!
Oh my goodness!! Absolutely LOVE this! Okay, I might have a few. LOL.
1. We find our selves using hashtags in text messages and on FB.
2. Going to a blogging conference is much more important than going to a family reunion.
3. You find notes scattered everywhere on notepads.
4. You have way too many ideas and not enough time to do them all.
Okay I'm done. I'm sure I could go on! LOL. Love this Jessica!
The first thing your kids say when the do something awesome/funny/dumb/weird/whatever is "Are you gonna blog about this?"
Also, what Shannan said. My Facebook friends are extremely confused.
When you said the part about the outlets I thought you meant shopping outlets and so did not get it at first *LOL*
Love this list.
You know you're a blogger when you have 50 GREAT ideas all at the same time.
When you own more than 10 urls
Too true and too funny!
Another one, you are the only one of your friends irl who knows what Klout, Alexa, and PageRank means.
LOVE THIS!! ha!!
I know I'm a blogger because whenever I'm out with friends and something crazy interesting happens one of them always says, "make sure to change my name when you blog this..."
Love this...truly brilliant
It takes reading one of your blogging friends' blogs to realize that the rest of the world doesn't use Snarky in "normal" discussions, that photo-journaling your lunch break was probably not "normal" either, and that most of the people you think of as your friends you've never met. Didn't realize this last one until just now. -Hah! ;)
I'm totally #5! In fact, if people could subscribe to my head, it would be so much easier!!!
Better than a David Letterman list! #3,5, 9, 12, 14 hit home! I always envy really clever & funny twitter handles, I went with just my first name because it's well, different and available. Now that I hope I'll be a SM conference virgin no longer, I actually am happy I don't have to do that other number you mentioned when I introduce myself :-)
My add:
- you say you love people you have never met in real life and really, sincerely mean it. (I might better understand prison pen pal romance now, ha).
- you sleep even less than you did when you had a young baby.
Love it, sharing it, thank YOU. Oh, and I love you.
Great post!
Additions:
-You win a blogging award and then you go around having people introduce you as "The Award Winning" (insert name here)
-When you are laying in bed at night and can't sleep, it's not because you are thinking of bills, life, etc, but rather, your next week's blog titles.
Great blog, I can identify with several lol
I'm guilty! My husband always teases me about photographing food, too.
Oh, I am so guilty of some of these things.
I agree on the lying awake all night thinking of blog posts and sleeping less than when I had newborns.
I'd add that
I have a file of potential blog articles or companies I want to pitch.
Whenever we go somewhere my kids always ask "Do you have to write a story about this?"
Hilaroius.
Um. #Icanspell.
I resemble this post.LOL! Especially about taking pictures of my food.
I kept joking with hubby that I need a t-shirt that says, "I'm a big deal on Twitter."
I can relate to almost all of those and my "real life" friends don't have a clue why.
Thanks for making me smile :)
LMAO Hm, I guess I still have things to aspire to LOL
what Stacey said. If. Only.
You nearly pee your pants when you see a new sign that says "Free wifi"
Love it!
This post made me laugh so hard, because it is soo true!
I so needed this laugh tonight! thanks!
