Bloggers: a comparison
Tue Aug 10, 2010 18:14 (UTC -5)I’m Kirsten, from All About Me – And Then Some, and Jordon is super busy right now so he asked me to help keep his blog alive, so here I am. Today I wanted to do a comparison because I didn’t know what else to blog about on someone else’s personal blog.
Jordon: blogs about stuff
Kirsten: blogs about herself – and then some
Jordon: living the collegiate life
Kirsten: living in a cubicle
Jordon: lives in balmy Florida
Kirsten: lives in blistering Las Vegas
Jordon: is 21 and doesn’t look like he has any wrinkles or gray hairs
Kirsten: has been 29 for seven years now and while she’s avoided wrinkles so far, the gray hairs are creeping in
Jordon: knows html
Kirsten: knows html, more or less
Jordon: knows php
Kirsten: knows php when she sees it but doesn’t quite know what to do with it
Jordon: is a coding maniac
Kirsten: sucks at all kinds of coding
Jordon: knows what algorithms are
Kirsten: barely has any rhythm
Jordon: listens to The Beetles
Kirsten: listens to angsty chick music
Jordon: will graduate college with a 4-year degree and some career direction
Kirsten: graduated with a 2-year degree in liberal arts and still has no direction
Jordon: went to Europe and was able to meet all sorts of people because of years of dedicated, self-motivated Esperanto studies
Kirsten: went to Europe and was not able to speak to anyone despite 6 years of French studies
Jordon: puts interesting links at the end of nearly every post
Kirsten: stayed up way too late and couldn’t find anything link worthy, so is encouraging everyone to go to wikipedia and just keep clicking on “Random Article” until something interesting comes along

They both sound rather sucky. OK, I’ve lived the collegiate life and know how sucky it is, but all I know about cubicle life is from Office Space.
I had both gray hair and wrinkles in my teenage years.
I dunno. It looks an awfully like Perl.
Rumor has it that you wouldn’t want to talk to the French anyway. They have a reputation for being rude.

Thanks, everyone – glad you’re enjoying the post!
@keith, I’d rather be living the collegiate life. The parties were much better when I was in college, and I didn’t have a mortgage. My life very much resembles Office Space, and I do actually work in Corporate Accounts Payable – though I don’t answer the phone like Nina does. I try to avoid answering the phone at all, really.
Don’t worry about your gray hair and wrinkles. Some women like a more mature look on men. Women are the ones who are supposed to stay younger looking (but we won’t get into that double standard).
PHP has a lot of question marks in it. Maybe that adds to my confusion.
When I was in Paris, I was in a museum and trying to find the bathroom. I asked the gift shop clerk, “Ou est le WC?” and she yammered on for about 5 minutes, pointing every which way. I said, “Merci!” and ran out of there to use the bathroom at Le McDonald’s instead.
