File This Under: Things At Which I Am Horrible
At my core, I am an insecure narcissist who needs lots of approval from others in order to continue functioning. It follows that one of my favorite things in life is the specific brand of validation called “blog awards.” There’s a little problem though, I also lack the proper follow through to acknowledge and pass on these awards. So, I’m going to kind of make up for it now, in a totally half-assed way. Generally, these awards require the awardee (totally a word) to like share random facts and previously undisclosed information. So, here’s some random shit about me.
1. My first, and most enduring, crush is on Stone Phillips.
2. My favorite color is red. Like blood and tomatoes.
3. I read a ton. I generally go through a couple of books a week.
4. I require a lot of alone time. Mostly because I am socially awkward. And awkwardness, while hilarious, can also be exhausting.
5. I did pageants as a kid. Word of advice, don’t ever, ever, EVER do this to your children. Or if you do, please put aside money for their future therapy bills.
6. I don’t drink. Weird, huh?
7. I’m not an alcoholic or a Mormon. Even weirder, right?
8. Ben and I met in a bar. That was back when I was still drinking.
9. I actually don’t drink because Jesus came to me in a dream and told me not to drink anymore.
10. Not really, but wouldn’t that be hilarious.
So yeah, learning is fun, right? Now the second part of blog awards involves passing the awards along to other blogs. Small problem, I read about 20 million blogs and they’re all fucking awesome. And way classier than this shit. So, here is a screen shot of about an eighth of my reader:
You’re all winners of Jill Pilgrim’s Half Assed Blog Award. Congrats!!
look! there’s me! all on the tippy-top like! yaaaay! love me some jill pilgrim. happy holidays sweetheart!
I totally need alone time too. Ha I know exactly what you mean by being socially awkward, it defines my life.
And wow pageants. I. Am. So. Sorryyy. They should be illegal. PS saw the post on your back, i hope it’s better!
Dont worry, Jesus came to me in a dream and said I would spend my life chained to a radiator. I told him he was crazy and I dont even have a radiator. So moral of the story… believe in Jesus.
Lol, nice blog awards. Definitely made me laugh.
Thanks for brightening my evening.
I just wanted to let you know that the first sentence of this post describes me completely. Soul sistahs. But I never did pageants and I still drink although I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to.
Whew! You had me worried cause I know how much you worship me. I was all… NOT ANOTHER MEME (although I could be using that word wrong cause I am not really sure what it means) and then i was all
awww, she totally didn’t pick me… maybe she doesnt worship me anymore. shit. and we both share red as our favorite color. wtf?? we are supposed to be like this man? how can we both read that many books in a week and not be totally linked at the hip? (ok well technically my reading pretty much halted the moment i gave birth, but I still give it the old college try. and by old college try i mean I am OLD and I never went to college.)
just so you know how much i still WORSHIP you… you are the only blog I read that I leave this big long drawn out crazy lady comments on. that should count for something, right? OMG! I heard you say that! That I only do it cause I should be in a padded cell? I heard it! Gawwww!
*pout*
Jesus told you not to drink?
In my dreams, he just stands there and goes:
“Dude. The fuck?”
I see my name is missing. As usual.
Maybe you just didn’t scroll down far enough.
As usual. (short joke)
haha, i love it
i am terrible at that as well!
Dang, you DO have a lot of blogs to read. How do you keep up with them all??
sometimes it feels like i’m swimming in blogs!
you’re like me. my blogroll is crazy.
and i’m so sorry your back is/was broken!!!! i can actually sympathize.
i love your face, lady. kudos on the awards!
I totally left you an award today. http://bigmamacass.wordpress.com/2009/12/21/a-flaming-dog-poo-random-tuesday-thoughts/ Nnnnkay?
Awkward IS exhausting.
Thank God we have pills for that.
That’s a pretty awesome selection of blogs there
Other thoughts…
– You are so NOT socially awkward!
– I really don’t see you as a pageant kid. I feel that pictures may be in order so that we can witness this!
I don’t drink, either.
Plus, I write. I wish I could get through two books a week. I just managed to finish one children’s book this past week. *sigh*
Did I just read that you don’t drink? Not even the bubbly. Come on…have some bubbly. I’m all about peer pressure. Ah ha ha.
Hahaha…what a fun post
And the Stone Phillips thing? I totally get it.
Happy Holidays, Jill!
I like the color red too. ANd you did pageants? WOW. How was that? we need more details on that
you go to pageant camps too ?:D
ha, I dont drink either!
you are awesome lol
I would like to propose not to hold off until you get enough amount of cash to order different goods! You should just get the personal loans or just credit loan and feel yourself free
