So, as with any good award, there are rules.
1. Thank K.S. Brooks and link her blog, which I have done.
2. Share seven things about myself.
3. Pass the award on to 5 deserving bloggers.
Seven things, huh? About me...and they have to be witty cause all the other bloggers got all witty and shit. Great.
1. In college, I majored in Creative Writing and wrote a sonnet about pigeons eating vomit off my windowsill after I drunkenly puked out the window. It was surprisingly well received.
2. I don't like sleeping in socks. But lately I have been doing it. Mid-life crisis?
3. My favorite kinds of music are old country and hip hop. Take that stereotypes.
4. I once met Adam West. I said, 'Nice to meet you, Batman'. He said, 'You too, Boy Wonder'. I was young. It was the dopeness.
5. I don't own a TV. I have no idea what is going on in the world. And I don't really care to know.
6. Is there a cash prize with this award? I mean, I like club sandwiches on an unhealthy level. Like, if club sandwiches were people, I would be in jail.
7. I used to smoke cigarettes and hated all the judgmental non-smokers. Swore I would never become one. Guess what? Keep your cigarette away from my daughter.
(Bonus) - I can never, ever spell judgmental right (just did it wrong in a different way), and I judge myself for this.
So, thank you, K.S. Brooks. I encourage you all to check out her blog for wit, good writing, and an attractive simple format (it's not one of those seizure causing blogs).
And now I will recommend five other bloggers you should really give a gander to (I don't know...they like geese):
Rosanne Dingli
Richard Godwin
Morgen Bailey - (Yes, I know K.S. nominated her, too. She deserves two nominations.)
Mary Chase
Tom Kepler
Thanks again to K.S. Brooks for the words with which she graces this here internet. Check out her blog and the blogs of the fine writers above. Thank you one and all. I must now go to a Christmas party and pretend that being surrounded by drunk people is an activity I enjoy. And it was, before I quit drinking. See 'judgmental (ha, spelled it right FTW) non-smoker' above.
Thanks JD. Mr. Pish thanks you as well! And, you're so very welcome. I couldn't think of anyone else more deserving to dump...er, I mean bestow this award on. Shoot, that sentence ended with a prepostion. That's bad grammar. Good thing I have an editor. Unfortunately, she was unavailable to check this comment for me. :)
ReplyDeleteDan - this is flattering. Thank you for thinking I deserve this. I received a nomination early in 2010, I think - but this one is very special, because I like YOUR blogs too. I shall place the widget on my site with pride.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ladies. You know I'm big fans of yours. I'm in good company here in the comments section today. ;)
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning feeling lousy (tired eyes, dodgy back) feeling my age now instead of twice it... thank you JD... and thank you KS for second nomination. From across the pond, I'm touched. :)
ReplyDeleteJD, you really know how to put the mental in judgmental. Well done. Remember to polish that widget every day. :)
ReplyDeleteMorgen, if ever their was a versatile blogger...
ReplyDeleteHise...it smells like lemons and is shining like the sun.
