I cleaned out my feed reader (farewell, [redacted], I'll miss you but since you've not posted in 18 months I assume this means you've broken up with me). What follows are the blogs I currently subscribe to either through blogger or through an RSS feed.
I have a number of blogs I follow. They are all organized into categories in my head. The "Big Kids", the "People I Know", the "People I Pretend I Know", and the "People I Wish I Knew" (my apologies if any of you belong in the Big Kids category. I'm flying by the seat of my pants here). Many were added during NaBloPoMo 2011 and some of them I'm still getting to know. I would add a comment to each one or add a link to a particular post (or 3) I loved but there are so many! Just know, any click through you make is entirely worth it. Note: I am making a couple/few notes when I feel it's appropriate.
Big Kids - people who have a large following or who are famous for other things beyond blogging
Amanda Palmer
Annie Girl - Big Kid? I am not sure. But she just got voted into the top 5 Canadian Mom Blogs. That's huge.

Super-Mattachine - you may not recognize his name but he's the child of super duper famous parents. That's not why you should read him. A young guy with HUGE ideas.
The Bloggess
Wil Wheaton dot Net: In Exile
People I Know - people who are famous...in my mind
Acr0nym - my BFF. Pretends to blog but doesn't actually. I recently threatened to hijack his blog for my own purposes. He said, "What would you blog about?" I said, "Feelings." He said, NOBODY wants to read about that." (This is an MC Frontalot and Wil Wheaton reference.)

Teapots Happen - I don't know him, I wish I did. He doesn't post often but, when he does, it's about synchronicity. The reason why I follow him is because in his "About Me" post, there were 12 Jane's who commented before me...out of, like, 20 comments. Synchronicity. And when I think I ought to stop following him because he hasn't posted in awhile? He posts. Synchronicity.
