I am a blog follower. My RSS feed is enormous (right now, 300 unread posts from just today, and counting). Many of these blogs I follow have to do with my chosen career (graphic design), and many have to do with what I'd like to do along with that (wedding/love photography and planning, general photography, interior design, art).
Graphic-Exchange
Created by graphic designer who lives in the country of southern France (yes, I hate him), this is the best collection of everything beautiful in graphic design, interior design, and photography, that I have ever seen.
ffffound
This incredibly prolific blog only posts single images with no description and only a link to the source site. I have discovered many good images and blogs through ffffound.
100 Layer Cake
The wedding blog that started my unhealthy, obsessive love of all things wedding blog.
HOW blog
Don't really like this blog, but this magazine is one of the premier graphic design mags out there. I like Communication Arts magazine better, but their blog sucks even more.
Design Work Life
Design Sponge
The above two blogs are similar. Lots of cutesy design inspiration, as well as nice interiors, clothing, whatever suits their fancy. It happens to be that their fancy is similar to mine.
Dieline
I don't think that I will ever go into package design as a final career, but it's a fallback option and, let's face it, I'll go wherever I can get hired. But package design is a lot of fun, and this site is a collection of the best design out there. (However, I notice that all the awesomely designed stuff is not held in any store I have ever been to. Must be hoity-toity exclusive brands.)

Home page
Well. It is kind of impossible to create a home page on blogger, though I'm sure people have done it before. When I get my own "graphic designer" web site, I will hopefully have a kickin' home page.
Right now, when I log onto the internet, my home page is google.com. Maybe if I navigate you through what my typical course of map clicks entails, I can give you a better sense of what "home" is to me, at least concerning the internet.
This is what my tumblr looks like to the outside viewer. I'm pretty happy with the layout of it. I took the picture, designed the heading bar, carefully chose the layout. Being someone entirely consumed by aesthetics, it is important for me to display that in every single aspect of my life. Typically, I go to this page, admire the combination of photos and quotes/etc that I have currently posted, then go to the dashboard and look at my friends' posts. I also like using GoogleReader for the blogs I like that are not on tumblr.
Then, like any other person under 30 (and many over 30), I check my facebook, even though it emails me if anyone does anything concerning me. Can't resist stalking my friends and acquaintances.
Next, in true masochistic shopaholic form, I go to Anthropologie.com, my favorite store, which I can barely afford the sale items of. But it's a veritable feast for the eyes, every fabric and pattern and texture and design. It's just to die for.
My "home" on the internet consists of searching effortlessly for anything and everything I'd ever want, a narcissistic collection of mostly things I haven't even created myself and sometimes personal thoughts (that often lose me followers), cyber-stalking, and masochistic eye candy.
