Blype

Not to be confused with Blate.
Or Burp.


Blype=Blogger+Skype
two worlds combining into one internet force.
Also not to be confused with cybering.
pervs.

Over the past couple of months
I have had the great honoUr
and privilege of blyping with some of my fellow bloggers.

The transition usually goes like this:

We follow each others blogs.
we leave lengthy and often times awkward and or inappropriate comments to each other
we add each other on twitter, fb, and or both.
Sometimes/most of the time gchats happen
and e mails are sent.
Then, in the wee hours of the night/morning (time difference)
we make the decision..
to "meet" face to face
via
skype.

Then I start to sweat.
Not because I am a 50 year old man worried I am going to blow my cover.
But because 99% of the time I am in my pajamas
with no makeup on
and my hair up in towel...(if i actually showered that day)
just chillen with my stuffed animals.
It may be less embarrassing if I was a 50 year old man.

Once we do a quick skype chat de-briefing/warning of what we look like
we click the call button.
and BAM.
BLYPE.


this would be a lot less awkward if my fb wasnt in the background. rookie mistake. Also note how i am skyping with E day AND her blog is open on my internet. turbo creep.



I would like to take a second to point out three things.
1. I am wearing the same thermal shirt in every.single.blype picture. 
Pictures that were taken on very different days.
2. In one picture I do in fact have a towel on my head.
3. three way. nuff said.

Blypers include: Pictured in order: E.day, Emily, Michaela, Emily again, Michaela again, Megan
Not pictured: Ahnika and Rhiannon.

Have you ever cybered?
I mean Blyped?

  2. well this was enlightening. remind me to always have my model face on while blyping you. you tend to sneak attack the screen shots when they're least expected.

    just kidding. i don't have a model face. clearly.

  13. This is too funny! I've never blyped before. The closest I've come to "meeting" a fellow blogger is e-mail/twitter/pen pal-ing. Looks like you ladies had fun :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  20. I have yet to take a blogging relationship to that level. I'm kinda shy. Kinda. Or, I might be a 50 year old man who chooses to hang out with only stuffed animals and not the happy girl I portray on my blog. One or the other.

    XO, Katie or (Karl) Hehehe

  21. A Blype has never been in my order. L-A-M-E. I guess my tech-savvy gene never kicked in. Or the ability to wear makeup during prime Blyping hours...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Goodness girl, you get around:-) Once our relationship hits that next level, we'll definitely blype it up! xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh now I'm jealous of all this blyping hahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  24. Don't you love the group video skyping?!! My fam just discovered it. Its pretty awesome.
    And I love the words you created. They make perfect sense!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh Michaela.. don't lie using a "dresser" excuse. We know the truth.

    And Megan.. if it helps, I'm currently laying in bed (at 12:30 in the afternoon) wearing my brother's old t-shirt and no pants. TMI? probably.

    Oh, and the shirt says "you're old" with a finger pointing. Classic.

    ReplyDelete
  26. yes to group blyping!!! love this so much 'cause me and some other bloggity bffs did this very thing late into the night - and we could have talked to for hours. we're totally stealing your phrase for it. genius!

    ReplyDelete
  27. i have not yet taken the plunge to blyping...it does indeed look fun though :) but i dont post pictures of me on my blog so it may make someone nervous to see what i REALLY look like..hmmm :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Why haven't WE blyped yet?! This is an outrage.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I do in fact skype... but only with a cute boy ; )

    I want a blype chat with you and miss megan! except I am wayyy too concerned with how I look and would only accept the call if I had make-up on. Yerp. I said that.

    ReplyDelete
  38. This looks like so much fun! Priceless with the same shirt! I've never had a blype. Skyped but not 'special' or interesting enough really to blype. More power to ya!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ahhhhh....my goodnes...how your posts just warm my heart. AND blow my mind! BLYPING!?! Woah. I think my brain my explode with trying to comprehend that kind of awesomeness!

    ....... ok, I'm sorry. I got a little out of control there.

    But seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I've never blyped. (my macbook tried to make that word blipped. ha. that makes me laugh.)

    anyway. I've never even skyped. :( sad face. Am I the last one left on this great green earth?

    p.s. you are cute. always. quit it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Sorry for that.

    Btw I love your blog! I realize I just spent a lot of time talking about another woman.

    For that I apologize.

    ♥cheche

    p.s.
    I'm praying for your mom still!

    ReplyDelete
  42. oops. I didn't post the part I was sorry about.

    Kind of a good thing I guess.

    I was basically telling you thank you for introducing me to Michaela and how much I loved her blog and why... It went something like

    Great smile.
    Great blog.
    Great style.
    Loves the Lord...
    yeah. A match.comish post in the making. hahaha

    So I apologized and brought it back to you. Because... you know... are number one ;).


    hahahaha I'm soooo sad.

    annnd. I'm done.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love Skyping! I guess I will need to try Blyping. Sounds so intimidating. Maybe I should vlog first...

    ReplyDelete
  44. you are brave. I only ever skyped with my husband when we were dating. usually he just made faces at himself and took embrassing screen shots of me. I am a little afraid of skype now!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Y'all are SO cute!! Love these blype dates.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hahaha. I love that everyone is loving our blypes! It totally made my day that you were in that thermal in every single picture. You are my hero. Haha.

    My favorite part was where you said we do a debriefing about what we look like. That is SO true!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. love, we should blype soon, make it happen :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. i love this! i want to try it!! i'm at the gchatting stage with a bloggy friend, but it must be a HUGE step to jump to skye. scary. but fun!

    ReplyDelete
