It’s that time again! Blog Crush Sunday. I have several crushes, so it’s hard to pick just one. This week, though, I’m choosing Ev’Yan at Apricot Tea. She’s lovely and has an amazing sense of self. She’s also young and married, along with artistic and fashionable. I’m sure most of you already have Apricot Tea added to your blogroll–if not, though, add her! You won’t regret it, I promise.

Who is your blog crush this week?

My blog crush this week is someone I know in real life as well. We met our freshman year of high school, and he’s been a good friend ever since. When I moved back to Florida my sophomore year, he was always there for me (through the internet, at least), and we became close friends when I came back to Tennessee. Some people now call him JT, but I’ve always called him Tanner (his middle name) since that’s the name he introduced himself with.

Tanner writes some of the best poetry I’ve read. It’s deep and thought-provoking and, at times, funny. He started a blog a while ago with his poetry, but due to recent events in his life, he decided to start fresh at a new blog. He’s been through a lot in the past several years; I was going to tell you about some of it, but why not let him tell you? Give him some blog love, everyone. I’d really appreciate it.

It’s Sunday, and that means I have to announce my Blog Crush. Today, though, I’m sending you over to a blog, not only because it’s extremely humbling to read, but also because I’m walking for the little girl today. The Spohrs recently lost their little girl, Maddie, and I’ll be walking two miles this afternoon in her honor. When you get over to the blog, there are links in the sidebar so that you can donate (and there is also one in my sidebar) to the March of Dimes. Every penny counts.

Obviously, it’s Monday. I’m a day late, so what. I simply forgot to schedule a post for yesterday, and I wasn’t near the computer often.

I’m sure I’m not the only one with a crush on LiLu. Obviously, she’s awesome, and her TMI Thursdays make me gag and laugh at the same time. (Yes, it’s completely awkward.) Every Friday, she posts about the shiz her boyfriend says, and it’s usually hilarious. It’s honestly hard to read her blog while at work because it always makes me laugh out loud. There are also times where I’m found saying “awww” because she and B are so cute! And then, there was the time she did the Stanky Legg dance. I had no words. (Okay, it was also hilarious.) By this point, you must love LiLu, too.

I honestly can’t believe it’s already Sunday. Since I’m pretty hungry right now, the only thing I can think about is food. Who do I turn to when I want a good recipe (or if I just want to look at pictures of amazing food)? In Good Taste, of course! I’m in love with chocolate chip cookies, and who doesn’t love a good spaghetti sauce? (Except maybe my brother-in-law, but he HATES just about any kind of sauce. Sad, I know.)

Even if you’re not hungry right now, once you visit In Good Taste, you’ll be starving for some really good food. What’s your favorite recipe from her blog?

I’m taking a break from Blog Crush Sunday by asking you a question instead: Who is YOUR blog crush this week?

My blog crush this week is, well, more than one person. The Grey’s Writer’s Blog is a place I like to go every Friday morning. The writer(s) from the episode of Grey’s Anatomy that aired the night before write about said episode in more detail. He/she writes about why things happened the way they did. It’s a must for any Grey’s fan!

This week, my blog crush is a new blog: Twenty-Something Writers. Not only is it a blog I contribute to, but it has discussion topics and writing prompts that you can do as well. It’s updated daily during the week, and it is quickly becoming a great community for 20-something writers (even if you aren’t quite in the 20-something age bracket). I love it so much that I’m running the twitter for the blog @20sw.

So, if you haven’t already, join in on the discussion; become a contributor; or just read it!

My blog crush this week is pretty awesome. She’s nineteen-years-old (so only a year younger than me), and I’m sure we’d be awesome real-life friends if we didn’t live on opposite sides of the continental U.S. Her blog is one of the first blogs I read, and I remember the reason I started reading it: I love[d] her name. (Yeah I judge blogs by their covers–err, names). I admire her writing abilities and her love for good books. So, this week, I decided to ask my blog crush to do a guest post on this blog, and she happily obliged! So, I present you: GirlJordyn with some things that she loves/likes.

This is my first guest post and I want to make a good impression so that Megan’s readers will like me. With that goal in mind, I shall write to you a LIST OF THINGS I LIKE. Fifteen of them, in no particular order.

Twitter. I love Twitter. I’m a big fan of it. Before Twitter I would write silly little notes to myself in my cellphone. I hardly ever do that anymore. Now I just tweet it.

Colors. When I was younger I would change my favorite color every single day. Now that I’m older I’ve outgrown such childish things and instead have a thousand way tie between, oh, every color imaginable. Particularly red. And orange. And green and blue and brown. And yellow. Oh! And purple. Possibly pink too.

Things people say. If you listen hard enough you’ll notice that people say some fantastically hilarious things. For example, when my cousin set up her Facebook account she asked my sister if she had any friends on Facebook. My sister’s priceless reply? “I have real friends!”

Music. This is sort of a duh-wee one, but it includes: country music, soundtracks, music from broadway musicals, indie chick music, Coldplay (which, YES, is a genre unto itself), and various other types.

Television, but not all of it. Mostly I like the following: House, Friday Night Lights, The Colbert Report, The Office, Ace of Cakes, Sam the Cooking Guy, Important Things with Demetri Martin, and a splattering of other shows. (I did not forget Get Smart. I was only counting current shows.)

Get Smart.

Books. I’m currently reading the second Gallagher Girls book by Ally Carter and after this my To Read list consists of: Summer at Tiffany, Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn, Such A Pretty Girl, and Wicked. All of these but the last are sitting on my shelves at this very moment.

The Funny. Everyone likes The Funny, right? RIGHT.

Mail. Email: good. Snail mail: good. Unless it’s junk mail. Junk mail is never good; it’s just a waste of paper.

Sharpie Pens. Have you guys used Sharpie Pens yet? OMG. Best. Pens. Ever! They’re pretty much all I write with now… I bought two and am completely amazed I haven’t lost them yet.

Nerds. The candy and the people. Nerds are great. If you aren’t one, you should become one.

Names. I have something of a fascination with names. It’s always interesting finding out what they mean, but even more than that I love the sounds of them and the images they conjure up. Does this make me weird?

Starbucks. Oh man, I LOVE Starbucks. I don’t even drink coffee and I love it. I go there, order iced tea (almost always iced tea) and write. Or sometimes go for “coffee” with people. (The quotes around the word coffee show that I never actually have coffee, but saying you’re going for “tea” just doesn’t sound right.)

Barnes and Noble. I believe I once told someone that BN is my home planet. I don’t think I was kidding. And put BN together with Starbucks? HEAVEN.

Teddy bears. They’re just so cute and comforting, aren’t they?

Remember to check out Jordyn’s blog, and leave her some blog love by commenting!

I have a blog crush. Actually, I have many. So begins “Blog Crush Sunday;” every Sunday, I’ll try to post about a blog that I enjoy/love reading. Then you’ll follow the links to said blog, and you will fall in love, too. I promise. Probably.

This week, my crush is Your Wishcake. Not only do I adore her writing, but I adore the fact that she’s married (she just had her three-year anniversary, in fact), and she is clearly just as in love with her husband as she was the day they married. I admire that. She’s also creative, and she has a shop over at Etsy–where I purchased a cute cozy for my iPod touch, that I can’t wait to get:

Her blog posts are uplifting, and you won’t be disappointed. Go ahead, take a look; be sure to comment while you’re there to give her some blog love!
