I might have just become queen of the internet.

Hi. My name is Brittney and I’m writing to you from 1998.

OR I’m just the LAST person on THE FACE OF THE PLANET to realize the joy that is GoogleReader and justnowlikerighthissecond realized I can view all your lovely little blogs by just adding them there. Oh the time I’ll save and the calories I won’t burn manually entering each of your little webby homes!

On that SAME note… I realized how to correct MY little happy “RSS” subscription button up there and it works now. Like, for realz. And now I sorta kinda feel like I’ve mastered the interwebs and NOTHING can stop me (except, say, PHP and the Thesis theme, but it’s cool, we’re working out the kinks in our relationship tommorrow over coffee…)

{Sorta on topic… Veronica and I always joke about who is the better stalker of each other…}

Veronica: I subscribed to your shared items in google reader ::breathes heavily::
Veronica: Did it ask you to approve me?

Brittney: I have shared items?
Brittney: LMAOHGDSZFKJD at your “breathes heavily”

Veronica: LOL not yet, but when you do, they’ll show up for me.

Brittney: Good god, its amazing I have a blog isnt it?
Brittney: I’m like who is RSS? What’s a GoogleReader? Where am I?

Veronica: Inter whaaaaaat?

Brittney: I hate you. But with love.

1 steph anne December 30, 2009 at 2:18 pm: Perfect timing! I just found you through 20SB.

I absolutely love Google Reader and can’t imagine my life without it. How did you keep up with all the blogs you were reading before you discovered Google Reader?

2 Brittany December 30, 2009 at 2:38 pm: Wait. Goodle Reader?… I’m beyond lame for not knowing or understanding this.

*reads furiously over “goodle reader” instructions *

I’m so old.

3 Brittney December 30, 2009 at 2:39 pm: By trying to remember which ones I loved and typing them into my browser each morning. YES. I know.

I might as well still be getting my mail via the Pony Express. I’m THAT “with it.”

4 Veronica December 30, 2009 at 2:42 pm: I’m sending you a telegram.

5 Brittney December 30, 2009 at 2:44 pm: I totally just cackled at that and dropped popcorn all over my desk. Damn you Veronica, DAMN YOU ::shakes fist::

Britt – Ew me too! I was like “That’s so cute, all those little RSS orange squares people have, good for them” and didn’t really grasp that if you CLICK them and have Googlereader/Feedburner, you can “subscribe” and then actually just view all your favorite blogs/sites in one spot. Verses like really functioning and entering them into your web broswer, one.. at… a … time. We are awesome. I think mostly you, me and Veronica could be the MOST FUNCTIONAL bloggy best buds in the land.

6 Brittany December 30, 2009 at 3:00 pm: AH HAHAHAHA! Right? FOUR for you Glenn Cocoa! You go, Glen Cocoa! <- that's the voice I heard while reading your comment: "that's so cute…."

We so rock the blogosphere. The Three Muskateers??

7 Amber December 30, 2009 at 4:11 pm: This is great! I love that you say interwebs (I say it too hehe) and your conversation with your friend sounds just like the ones I have with my BFF who has just started her blog. Good times.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

8 Brittney December 30, 2009 at 4:45 pm: I’ll be the big fat guy. ::calls it::

Amber – Yay! Nothing quite like totally forcing people into blogging, right? I actually got her onto BlogSoup.net and then she used it for endless recipes and we might just turn that into a foodie blog. Let me know your friends link and I’ll check them out!

9 Megan December 30, 2009 at 5:50 pm: I remember discovering Google Reader (less than a year ago). It’s a life saver, however sad that may be.

I just found your blog (through 20sb), and I already love it.

10 Brittney December 30, 2009 at 6:30 pm: Aww thanks! Everyone on there has been so darn welcoming, it kills me! <3

Now off I go to your blog! =D

11 Lucinda December 30, 2009 at 8:18 pm: Hey there!

Thanks for stopping by my blog I don’t use google reader, I use bloglines though – possibly it to do with it not being blocked at work, like some of the google functions are lol! I just read during break, promise!

12 Elizabeth Marie December 30, 2009 at 9:51 pm: I just recently started using reader…made my ability to stalk SO much easier.

Love that you forced your friend to blog. I do that too but they never keep up with it, so therefore my bloggy friends are way cooler.

15 Brittney December 31, 2009 at 9:39 am: I need to learn how to be — right now it’s like 42 blogs all on a BIIIIIG list. I’m like…. I can categorize these, right? RIGHT? ::crosses fingers:: lol

Nikki – I’m on it! And glad to know that Brittany & myself aren’t the last people in the world to figure out GR lol

19 jamie January 1, 2010 at 7:55 pm: Oh Reader is life changing. But beware, you’re just going to keep adding more now!

20 Emily Jane January 2, 2010 at 4:45 pm: Yay I’m little!

SO SORRY I HAVEN’T VISITED IN FOREVER. I use iGoogle instead of Reader, which I always assumed was kind of the same thing… and it had stopped updating your feed for some reason!!

I’m going to have to switch to Google Reader PRONTO *shakes fist at the internet*
