Let’s Talk About You
Last weekend I “attended” Blog Brunch and (like always) walked away with so many new ideas. One idea that I loved was trying to learn MORE about your readers. It’s easy for me to just blog puke every day but who just wants that? Here’s the thing, I can’t keep track of every blog that interests me and there are so many times that I interact with people through my blog but never really get to learn more about them! I feel like I know you all by name/avatar but I want to know more!
So here’s my plea: TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF! Below I’ve listed 5 questions. Feel free to copy and paste the list into the comment section and answer them below! I hope to do this once a month.
- Where do you live? Be as generic or specific as you want.
- What do you do for a living? What are you doing when feel like you’re really living?
- You have to move out of your house in 5 minutes. What items do you grab?
- What’s one brand that has your loyalty?
- Share a link to your blog!

I live outside of Washington DC and work for an environmental nonprofit. River restoration is my thing, and being on the water definitely makes me feel like I’m alive (also writing and snapping pics).

I live in Aberdeen, Scotland. I’m a communications professional working with small charities – I do web design, graphic design and copywriting. My plan is to start doing more of that outside of work, too – very, very soon.
I feel like I’m really living when I’m exploring new places and when I’m cackling with my friends over coffee.
If I had to leave my home in a rush (and the boyfriend and cats were safe) I’d grab my phone so I could call a friend for help and my grandmother’s old brooch. I figure my insurance will cover the rest.
I’m loyal to… um… Amazon?
And finally:www.sarahrooftops.co.uk Nice to meet you!
-
Hi Sarah! Scotland is one of my favorite places – I visited in 2007 and want to return soon. I’m also loyal to Amazon..it’s WAY too easy to become loyal with 1 click purchasing :)

I really don’t know. I jump around to what looks good, what works well, etc. I am using a canon camera right now… I use impossible film in my polaroid cameras, I have no loyalty when it comes to yarn… maybe Target. Only because I can’t help but want to go in there a lot. -

I live in Albuquerque, NM.
I work in accounts payable for a healthcare company, but feel alive when I am designing accessories or decor for my home, which sadly isn’t all that cute because after moving 5 times in 5 years, I’ve sortof lost passion for that, or at least keeping it up.
I’d grab my sewing machine, iPad, camera, phone, and hubby- not in that order. ;)
Apple.

I live in the lush rain-forests of Costa Rica, where the typical greeting for locals is, “Pure Life.” It’s a righteous place to live.
I’m an artist & designer, and painting is what I truly love.
I would take my dogs, my film photos, and as much art as I can grab.
At the moment, no brands are coming to mind. I’m a picky customer. There are a lot of factors for me to consider before I become brand-loyal.
I blog at, http://kayleeartist.blogspot.com

Costa Rica!? Amazing! Thanks for introducing yourself :) I ADORE your blog!!! Omg it’s so colorful. I will definitely be subscribing!

I really enjoyed the blogger brunch – great idea to incorporate it into this post!
1. living the in (semi) beautiful Los Angeles County
2. I’m a grad student! yes, I have little side jobs but this takes up all of my time. When I’m really living, however, I’m out tromping around in nature and taking pictures of things that speak to me.
3. I’m grabbing my external hard drive (with all my photos) and my camera. Oh and making sure that my manfriend makes it out too :)
4. Banana Republic. They’ve got me hook.
5. I’m blogging over at [Treasure Tromp] -

I love posts like these – I get to read through them and always find amazing blogs to add to my reader!
(1) I live in San Francisco.
(2) I am Senior Marketing Coordinator for an ecommerce technology company. I feel very alive when I’m doing that, I know I’m lucky to truly enjoy my job! I also have various side-hustle projects like my blog and freelance interior design.
(3) My grandfather’s vintage cast iron typewriter. I might break my arms carrying it, but he started his own business on it and it’s priceless to me.
(4) Apple. Goodness….it’s a bad thing for my wallet, but my iMac has never let me down.
(5) My blog is http://www.seventeenthandirving.comCheers!

Ohhhh I want to visit San Francisco in the near future so I’ll keep you posted. Also, I love that you LOVE what you do. It’s so rare (sadly). Thanks for commenting. Glad to have meet you via Twitter/blogging!

Where do you live? Be as generic or specific as you want.
Columbus, Ohio
What do you do for a living? What are you doing when feel like you’re really living?
I am a full-time mom to two very active school age kids and a freelance writer. Since my mother passed, I have decided to refocus my writing and my goal is write more creative fiction, poetry and personal essay.
Writing. I love it…
You have to move out of your house in 5 minutes. What items do you grab?
The kids know where the meeting place is, so once I knew they were out, I would grab the notes and the sweet 16 gifts my mom left the kids, the rabbit and the gerbils. The rest of it is just stuff…
What’s one brand that has your loyalty?
I am very partial to LUSH and honestly the Candle Labs has impressed me with their bath items. In general as a platform/retailer I can’t say enough good things about FAB.
Share a link to your blog!
So I have an alter ego– she writes here: http://www.elisaphilips.blogspot.com/ and here: http://www.nakedsunfish.com/SunFish_070/hopscotch/hop.htm
and I write here http://susan-thoughtsfromtheedge.blogspot.com/
Allie– I can’t wait for the next Blogger Brunch, I hope I can follow along…
-
Yes you must attend the next blogger brunch (first Saturday in September). Thanks for sharing your other blogs!!!
-
-
Love your blog! (And also love following you on Twitter!)
– I live in Wellington, New Zealand!
– I am a graphic designer, currently employed full time at an agency, but working towards eventual full-time freelancing. (You are such a huge inspiration for me in this way right now!) I truly love my job and am so glad I have found my passion so early in life.
– I would take my photo albums, hard drives, laptop (so I could work easily) and my running shoes (for sanity when I reach my new destination!)
– A few brands have my partial loyalty, but I am such a fussy shopper! I will always buy lululemon when I can though, and brooks for running shoes. Apple is probably the biggest brand I am loyal to in my life, I guess ;) (viewing this on my iMac, tweeting from my iPhone, looking at TeuxDeux on my iPad while listening to my iPod…)
You’ll find me at http://www.hellomisspotter.com // http://www.hellomisspotter.wordpress.com
x-
So excited for you about pursuing full-time freelancing some day!! Let me know if you ever need help. It’s an amazing (huge) step but totally worth it so far. And I totally get you re: Apple loyalty. I need to try LuluLemon sometime…I work out a lot more and so I want to invest in a few pieces.

Benji
1. Columbus, OH
2. I don’t have a title but I handle overflow projects for Marketing and Events. I’m really living when I’m playing music.

4. If Nintendo goes under, I quit video games.

I live in THE Fort Wayne, Indiana. I DO NOT live on a farm.
I’m the office manager at a counseling center, and I do photography and custom paintings on the side. I feel truly alive when vacationing and/or spending time with people I love. I believe we were originally intended to live that way. :)
I’d grab my camera, iPod, Macbook, photo albums, and my great-grandmother’s rosary.
I’m not completely sure about brands. I’m really loyal to a lot of local places, and, typically, if a brand works for me and I get great customer service, I’ll continue using that brand and referring people to it.
I blog over at http://breetsuts.wordpress.com/
Miss you, Allie!
-
Haha I love your disclaimer about living on a farm. Hilarious. I miss you too!!! We need to see each other when I’m back in Indiana again!

I really just like talking about myself haha, so thanks for this super fun list of questions!
01: For most of the year, upstate NY. Originally, eastern CT in the cutest little farm town. 02: Full time student, but really leaning toward photography + writing for the future.
03: Phone, camera, computer (the “basics”); after that any clothes I can get my hands on and a cute handmade card one of my friends made me.
04. Apple – I’d seriously fork over almost any amount of $$ to them. Embarrassed.
05. http://www.thestatestreetedit.com-
HAHA I like talking about myself too. Don’t all bloggers? ;) And yes I don’t even bat an eye when I buy Apple products. $2,000? Sure!

Apple + J.Crew

I live in a ridiculously small town in Arkansas. There is one stop light, and everyone knows everyone. Luckily, a much larger city is only 20 minutes away so I never feel too far from civilization.
Right now: substitute teacher. Hopefully soon: the real deal.
My baby blanket, some of my favorite cookbooks and childhood photo albums. And my passport, just because I don’t think I could ever stand in line at the Post Office for that long again.
Target. There is no possible way I could live happily without that store, haha!

There’s something pretty great about those small towns though :) Haha loved your comment about the post office . I would DEFinitely grab some important legal documents.

Where do you live? Southern California, Orange County to be exact.
What do you do for a living? I’m a freelance consultant for publishing houses. It can be anything from ghost writing to editing to formatting digital books.

What’s one brand that has your loyalty? Apple, sadly, hahaha.

Hi Allison! I love this idea! I might just steal it for my own blog, though I’d give you credit, of course ;)
Anyway, here you go:

What do you do for a living? What are you doing when feel like you’re really living? I am a technical writer for a software company during the day, but I’m hoping to follow your lead and freelance full time by the end of the year. I’m a wedding planner, blogger, writer, and calligrapher, and I hope to do it all, full time, next year.
You have to move out of your house in 5 minutes. What items do you grab? My dog and my purse. Yes, I’m that person…
What’s one brand that has your loyalty? Kate Spade :)

Metro Detroit! I was born and raised here, moved to Grand Rapids for three years for university, and have just moved back.2. What do you do for a living? What are you doing when feel like you’re really living?
I just graduated college with a degree in English and a minor in history. I’m looking for a full-time job that encompasses one or both of those disciplines.

While I can tell you more than you might want to know about Jane Austen, auxiliary verbs, and ancient Eurasia, what I absolutely love to do is write.3. You have to move out of your house in 5 minutes. What items do you grab?
