I'm so following YOU back!

For this Friday I’m going to try something different and since all of you my beloved readers have been so kind to follow me, I’m following you back too! As soon as I see a comment I always try to head over to the blog, follow each one of you and leave a lovely comment. So I’m making a blog hop just to get to know my readers blogs and you will get to meet other bloggers as well. Not a weekly thing but I think this time it's going to be fun!

I consider myself a very good follower. I try to read and comment on the blogs I’m following every now and then and enter to all giveaways I see! ;) I usually click almost all the tittles that appear on my blogger dashboard and have fun reading. I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from reading others blogs too. I while back I saw a post on “Commandments of Comments”. It’s like a guide to being a good follower. They have many that I don't agree on like not leaving your URL as a signature but I don’t really mind the URLs. In fact it makes it easier to go and visit other blogs. ;) But here are some good ones:

  • Thou shall not call names. If you disagree with the author’s opinion, state why. Provide sources or examples of your experiences. Don’t just say “You’re dumb.” Maybe the author IS dumb- but don’t just say so, prove it!

  • Thou shall not use comments to whore thyself out. My blog is my home. Please do not come into my home, tell me you like my couch, but that you have a cooler one over at your home, which you can find “here”. If you want my readers to check out your blog, leave a comment that shows them what they’ll find at your blog in the form of your personality.

  • Thou shall not encourage trolls to dwell. If you don’t know what a troll is, I envy you. When you encounter a troll, do not add fuel to the fire. Do not even acknowledge their existence. Trolls are like the bullies in grade school- if you let them know they bother you, they’ll never leave you alone; but if you ignore them, they’ll go give someone else a wedgie.

Ok so now the blog hop links! Grab the code and do a post to let everyone know about it so they can find other cool bloggers too!


Also you can let your followers know some random details about you so they can have a better picture of you! Here are some of mine:

  • I went to a catholic private school and I'm not catholic (yes, wore an uniform every day up to 12th grade).
  • I’ve had already work at 10 different places/jobs (Edy’s ice cream shop, Gelatos ice cream shop, local baby clothes store, local shakes shop, Banana Republic stores, Insurance company, Hugo Boss stores, accounting firm, assistant of a college professor, non-profit accounting services company) and I’m only 22.
  • My dream job is to write for a living or host a TV Show on Bravo.
  • I obsessed with coconut (the fruit, the smell, everything) and like asparagus.

  • From any place in my island you can get to a beach in less than 40 minutes and for some reason I don’t like getting in the water, though I love the view (I think I have never said this out loud, people here take it personally if you don’t like the beach).

  • I can recite almost all the dialogue (and songs) of the movie Moulin Rouge.

  • I watch a lot of TV Shows (Leverage, House, Dexter, Lost, Lie to Me, Entourage, Heroes, Weeds, The Good Wife, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, Will & Grace, Gossip Girl, True Blood, Modern Family, Desperate Housewives of NYC, The Bachelor, The Bacherlorette, Project Runway, Glee, Vampire Diaries, United States of Tara and my newest addition Pretty Little Liars. Not to mention the wedding ones!). Yep, I have a lot of free time on my hands!

I am OBSESSED with Pretty Little Liars. I thought I was the only one on the globe watching that show, since everyone I ask says 'Pretty Little What? What's that?' Good to know there are at least two of us! :)

Have you heard about Heroes?? Apparently not coming back next season....my hubby told me he saw it announced somewhere :( They even showed the beginning of the next chapter already, and now we'll never see the rest....

casey aubut said...

I adore this idea. I found you via From Skirts to Skillets! I think it's very lovely that you enjoy getting to know your readers and I try to do the same. I've already created my post for the day, but may try to squeeze another in later for this.

Pleasant to meet you!

Ella Unread said...

You are a great follower indeed!
I am sorry I can't commit myself to write that post though, I am kinda trying to study so it's unlikely that I will be blogging any time soon...I can't promise anything but I'll try!

ChickLitGirl said...

This is a good idea. I'll deff do a post about this.

balancejoyanddelicias said...

this is a fun idea! and I like these comment guidelines! :)

Tanja said...

I just found your blog! I'm now following. It's very interesting for me to read your posts because I want to move to a big city too but I don't really have the courage, or money...but I watch a lot of TV shows too. Anyway, I noticed that you don't watch Breaking Bad. You should. Seriously, in my opinion it's one of the best TV shows I've ever watched. It's a little dark, but I haven't met a person that didn't like it.

Have a great weekend and I hope you'll find the time to check out my blog (http://tanjascupcakes.blogspot.com).

kristy eléna said...

this is a lovely idea!!! thanks for telling me about it. =)

Mystic Dreamer said...

This is an absolute wonderful idea... however I don't have as many followers as you I would follow back because I love the different types of literature, Ideas and writing styles. I love the uniqueness with each blog and trust me your blog NYCGal has its own style and flavor and very legible, not many blogs are because of the color scheme or the amount of things going on that are distracting. For a blog simple is best and this is simple and pretty. Bonus! Anyways this is my website http://perplexingminds.blogspot.com which I'm sure you are following anyway, but for the rest if interested please feel free to add me. I currently have an article up about how to break up with your cell phone. Take care NYCGal

Café Bellini said...

And you even watch a lot of my same shows...I love Desperate Housewives, Lost and House.... :):)

Nice to meet you.
I didn't link up this time because it's late and I didn't include your site on my blog today. Maybe next time I will get a jump on things.

The entire content of this post is just adorable. Really cracked me up :) I am fairly new to blogging and I haven't encountered some of that, so thank you for the heads up and I can push forward with grace should it ever arise :) I'm in my early 30's so I'll just re-live my 20's vicariously through you since I'm at the stage where I wish I could magically find time and be able to finish one show!! Thanks for the smiles :)
