These blogs are my all-around favourites. They are authored by interesting people, with pretty sweet design skills. For other blogs that I enjoy, check out the “Recent Reads” section in the footer.

Athanati by Nellie – Nellie is a magnet for controversy, which isn’t the only appeal to her blog, but is definitely up there. Her entries, and opinions, always make me think and consider my stance on things.

Awesome Blog by Josh – This kid has his whole life ahead of him. He makes mistakes, but he admits to them, and he learns from them, and he does so semi-publicly. This makes him awesome.

CHNL by Chanel – I admire Chanel for her ambition. If this girl wants to do something, trust me, she’ll do it, and reading about her adventures really is thrilling.

Diana.nu by Diana – Some authors could speak about paint dry and I’d probably sit at their feet and gaze at them adoringly. Diana is one of those people. She has strong opinions about everything, and a quirky, memorable voice to support it.

Indefinite.me by Scott – Scott has an interesting outlook on the world. If he would stop deleting his entries, and starting over, I’m sure it would be cool to see how he progresses over the years.

Jemjabella by Jem – Jem is a good friend because she will tell me to shut up when I am being too emo. That doesn’t really have anything to do with why I love her blog, except for the part where she’s just able to keep me captivated because she is wiser than me.

Jingwen by Amanda - Amanda has more drive and determination in her little finger than probably our entire generation combined. Her blog has a little something for everyone.

Lilula by Lil – Asknjcns does not even begin to describe the pure admiration I feel towards Lil’s work. She’s a bit of an inspiration to me, and I kind of gush about her a lot to pretty much anyone who will listen.

Mekana by Meg – She loves food probably as much as I do, and the photos she takes to accompany her entries are gorgeous. Her entries relating to grammar and punctuation are hilarious.

Nanyate by Ivy – Another goody bag of a blog with varied entries for everyone. I like blogs like that, because they help broaden my interests. Ivy lives in a far off land, but she spent some time in Canada, which makes it a bit easier to relate to her, for me.

No Pants Revolution by Suzanna – Suzanna’s entries really make me think, and I will really feel like commenting, but I can’t make my words as eloquent as hers, so I don’t. Anyway, I kind of love her blog, and I think you might too.

Oh Clementine by Clem – I don’t really get a chance to hang out with very many teenagers, but I’m pretty sure not many of them are like Clem. Her entries are always interesting and she wise beyond her years. Luckily, she’s also wise enough to act her age sometimes, and be silly.

Reliquesce by Kaylee – I affectionately call her Yaklee, and her blog must be amazing because I host it. And I don’t just host anyone, just amusing, crazy intelligent gangsta girls.

Snailbird.com by Nikki – Nikki’s website is gorgeous. She is an amazing and interesting artist, who enjoys sharing other amazing and interesting artists. Her love of animals is inspiring, and her webcomic about her pets is squee-worthy.

Symphonic by Ann – This girl has changed so much since I first came across her site, and definitely for the better. She is an incredibly intelligent and insightful young woman now, definitely someone to watch out for.
