Today marks the launch of #TotalSocial with me and Helene! The concept behind this all-encompassing linkup is to not only find new bloggers to follow, but to find new twitter accounts and instagrammers as well! Everyone is welcome, whether you are a blogger, used to be a blogger or have never been a blogger! Hashtags are simply a way of "linking up," something bloggers have been doing for like, ever.
Each month, we will be hosting a #totalsocial, and each month will have a different theme and hashtag. Our very first topic is firsts (naturally), and the first hashtag is #firststotalsocial! For more information, or ideas on what to post about, go here!
So for my "firsts" theme I knew exactly what I wanted to do right off the bat, and that was to repost my first blog post ever.... but with some Pop-Up Video style commentary added in! If you guys have ever seen Pop Up Video, they take old videos and add new commentary in, and that's what I'm going to do today. So off we go!
...My First Blog Post...
Top Ten List... Are YOU Guilty?
Have you ever caught yourself doing anything on this list? If so, this blog is for you.
10. Only cheering at a sporting event because there is a sign that says, "Yell Louder!"
9. Yelling, "Yay, touchdown!!!!" at a baseball game. (If you're wondering the problem with this phrase, no need to read the rest of the top ten list, just go ahead and become a follower of this blog)
8. Asking your man to hold your glass of wine while you snap facebook pics of how super cute you look in his hat turned to the side throwing the peace sign.
7. Just enjoy looking at a man in uniform, (well, who doesn't!)
6. Only attend your local team's games on thirsty thursday because all the drinks are only $1.
5. Asked the people you are with, "Why does that guy have a white picket fence over there, and who is D anyways, is he the guy with the ball?"
4. Only agreed to a Super Bowl party to watch the commercials.
3. Only know the athletes names who are currently dating the celebs in your US weekly
2. Flipped the channel to Sex and the City reruns with 3 seconds left in a playoff game.
And the number one reason to make this blog your new go-to survival guide for all my girls trapped in mars...
1. You are with your boss and a few male co-workers and they are discussing the british open that took place over the weekend and you pipe in with, "I used to play tennis in high school!"
Follow me on Instagram and Twitter, as well as the hashtag #firststotalsocial, for more firsts and #1s that are hopefully better than mine....
I thought that was a really cute first blog post.

ReplyDeleteYay, Touchdown!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great first post. Oh how I miss the old MTV and Pop up Video days! Just had to laugh about SJP, so true. My husband always asks what the big deal is. Umm, she's Carrie...only the most fashionable amazing single woman in the world?! :o)
ReplyDeleteand who is D anyway HAHAHA! This was an AWESOME first post!
ReplyDeleteWas this really your first post? This looks and sounds so good. Very creative for a then newbie. Love it!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for making Pop Up Video relevant again. I love it. And I LOVED this post. You're awesome and so is this linkup. Am I gushing? Sorry. All the nostalgia is making me really happy.
ReplyDeleteAnyway #4 makes me crazy, because those are always the people who won't stop trying to chat with people who are trying to WATCH THE ACTUAL GAME. Way to call 'em out!
Totally guilty of #7! Baseball pants are a gift to women from God!
ReplyDeleteso, so true about SJP! No men find her attractive.
ReplyDeleteHa this is a great first post! You nailed it!
ReplyDeleteI totes agree with that quote about SJP! Men really hate her, I am not sure why, but I love her in SATC!
Your first post is SO GOOD. Like for reals! And the Pop Up Video comments are even better.
ReplyDeleteTHAT was your first blog post?! Jesus, there is NO hope for the rest of us. Like, ever. That was super awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG! So true! I have never met a man who thinks SJP is attractive, but I find her so gorgeous that I would love to BE HER! lol
ReplyDeleteThat was like the best first blog post ever! Every one of those is true for me except for maybe yelling "touchdown" at a baseball game because I never go to sporting events anyway lol!! You rock!
ReplyDeleteyour first post was super cute. Mine was boring with little writing. Can't wait to see what the next theme is.
ReplyDeleteAwesome first post! Mine is basically like, "Hi, I'm here in the blog world. The end."
ReplyDeleteNumber 7 is so me!!! hahaha great link up :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO at the pop-up for SJP that has a horse...
ReplyDeleteholy crap. your FIRST blog post is a billion times better than ANY post i have ever written. maybe if i got it together enough to put some really cute graphics in mine like you did, that would be helpful, but i don't really see that happening any time soon, so we'll just leave it to you. :) seriously, I LOVE that first post. clearly you've been rocking the blogging thing since day one. xoxo
ReplyDeleteFun! I need to do this next month!
ReplyDeleteI miss pop-up videos. VH1 knew exactly how to make me feel like a music trivia queen. Great addition to a first post!
ReplyDeleteI love the #totalsocial link-up too!
This made me laugh out loud. I'm totally guilty of the hat sideways look, back in high school every girl rocked that at some point. LOL!
ReplyDeletei just love this idea and can't wait to participate each month! also such a fun way to meet new bloggers!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. You are crazy hilarious. <3
