I am suffering from the worst case of blogger's block ever. I haven't posted anything for over two months.

Get the blogger's block mug.A sub-variant of Unwarranted Self Importance (USI) widely seen among the Internet-going population. Became common once everybody from your Grandma to your kindergarten teacher realized they could create a blog/Facebook page/YouTube channel where they could inflict their opinions on those unlucky enough to wander by with zero consequences or monetary cost.
In days past, the disease was restricted to ranting street preachers, and was limited by factors such as the price of soap-boxes and copy paper, and the generally low levels of give a shit present in the pre-Internet population
Symptoms consist of:
1) assuming that people on the Internet like you and the things you say, when most are actually indifferent at best
2) projecting your narrow interests on to people who don't share them, then confusing their bored silence for approval
3) producing content which focuses mostly on shallow appeals for approval, instead of actually informing, challenging or entertaining
4) cultivating a small clique of like-minded Internet goers, which (despite representing a microscopic fraction of the population as a whole) you then cite as proof that you're "kind of a big deal"
Treatment includes:
1) deleting the offending Facebook/YouTube/blog pages
2) re-connecting with real life friends and family over shared activities
3) rediscovering that nobody on the Internet really cares that much about your life, your cat, or what you had for dinner today (even the people that say they do)

Doctor: "Yes, I was afraid of this...it's Blogger's Disease. And a bad case, too. I've seen it a hundred times."
Patient: "My God, is there any cure?"
Doctor: "Yes there is... but I'm afraid you won't like it. It might require you to be less of a douche. It may require you to interact with the physical world. Are you prepared to handle it?
Patient: "Whatever it takes, Doctor."
Doctor: *smashes laptop to pieces with a hammer*

Get the Blogger's Law mug.Proper Noun; 1. The pasty vampire-like color of ones skin who never comes into contact with direct sunlight. To be interchangeable with Editor's Tan (A term granted to editor's, generally vile creatures who dwell in dark cave-like spaces in which they hover over computer screens compiling video information for the completion of a form of entertainment.)
The "Blogger's Tan" was dubbed such because historically those who sit at computers all day and night rarely come into contact with actual natural light. This grants them a glowy sort of halo when they walk around underneath any kind of artificial light source.
The "Blogger's Tan" was first coined by television show producer Nick Pavonetti in early 2009 when he saw someone who blogs for a living and accused them of having the "Blogger's Tan". Since then it has begun catching on and spreading throughout small groups within the Hollywood scene.
