When I quit "professionally" blogging in April, I completely deleted my blog and all of it's existence. I unsubscribed to any and all blogging networking sites (ie 20sb) and deleted my Twitter account. However, I didn't quit reading my favorite bloggers. I kept my commenting specifically for those that I liked the most and felt the closest to, I even added some of them on Facebook. (Hi, Facebook IRL friends! Yah, we can still be friends even though I'm trying this whole "anonymous" thing.) I eventually got another Twitter account and added my favorites.

With all of that being said, I have been out of the blogosphere for some time now. I've forgotten what it feels like to get comments and feedback from readers. I've forgotten what it feels like to get advice and words of encouragement from "strangers." I've forgotten what it feels like to make new Twitter and Gchat friends. But most of all, I've forgotten what it feels like to be part of a community. I never really participated at 20sb. I've never met any blogging friends in real life; I feel like I'm BFF's with some of them even though we've never laid eyes on each other. I felt like I knew their lives thanks to their blogs. But since 2010 is all about starting over, I'm ready to change that.

There's a little thing going down May 20th to 23rd in Vegas called (appropriately enough) Bloggers in Sin City. You may have heard of it, no? Well, I want to go. Granted, "wanting to go" and "actually going" are two completely different things. Financially, I don't know if I'll be able to afford it. Unfortunately freedom and rejuvenation in 2010 also mean I'm down from two salaries to one... and mine is measley right now. However, that is not going to stop me from at least attempting to go. I think it will be barrels of fun and a great way to meet some of my favorite irl imaginary friends and bloggers.

I know it's Saturday and that means a drastic decrease in blog readership, but I've got some homework for you guys.

• Are you planning on going to Bloggers in Sin City? If yes, what are you looking forward to the most about the blogger meetup?
• Since I've been out of the game for some time, who are some bloggers I MUST READ? Maybe it's you, maybe it's your imaginary or irl BFF, or maybe it's just your favorite blogger. Leave the URL below.

Have a good weekend and I'll see you right here Monday.
