You Like Me, You Really, Really Like Me
Monday, September 29th, 2008So get this; my little blog that could has won an award!! A shiny, real, honest-to-goodness award:
I’ve never gotten one before, and in honor of the giver (Long Red Cape, who knew?), I promise to write a Toolbag post forthwith. Well, in the next couple of days anyway because there certainly has been some toolbaggery of late. Of the teeth-grinding variety. Stay tuned.
For now though, the business at hand. I am to recognize (only?!) seven of my favorite blogs in turn. My short blogroll would normally make the selection easy (I seem dead set on flouting blogroll etiquette by linking only to those I read daily-yes, I know how Google Reader works- so if you’re to the left, you’re already a favorite).
That said, I’m picking an eclectic few that (mostly) aren’t already listed but on which I tend to lurk (okay, so I just heard myself and realize that makes it sound like I’m trolling the Internet for 13 year olds. Chris Hanson, please do not invite me to your skeevy-looking rec room).
1) Things My Boyfriend Says- she hasn’t posted in a long-ass time, but still offers a smattering of hilarity. I wonder if they broke up…..
2) Joy- because she’s a fellow townie and she is fancy. Also, her sex life has me in awe. Seriously girl, how do you manage?
3) Anonymous Coworker- this is a post-mortem award for the blog that made me laugh the loudest while pretending to work. Go ahead and read the archives. But first know that the humor is not for the faint of heart. Or stomach.
4) Stuff Nobody Likes- of course. I love Stuff White People Like, so this works for me too.
5) Copyranter- I do shitloads of lame ass writing for my job and catch myself regularly criticizing other people’s professional work (see: Aussie hair care commercial). This blog feeds my inner critic.
6) Surviving Myself- this is a new one for me, but thus far, I have to say, I really look forward to reading about his New York snarkiness and citified random observations.
7) Chica- last, but nearly least, to my earliest reader and the one who first linked to me. She has one of the sweetest, most-down-to-earth perspectives and is always a delight to read. Shout out to the UK!
Okay, now that I’m done being all Linky McLinkerstein, get to reading!
Aren’t you sad that ACW quit blogging?
Also, Chris of Surviving Myself is super nice. Hilarious, too. I’ll have to check out the others because those are the only two I already read!
Completely sad about no more ACW. I don’t think this Christmas will be the same without his reviews of various nog concoctions. And if he were reading this, he’d probably post some funny boy-part joke about my use of the word “concoction.”
That’s what she said.
Chris (Surviving Myself) is awesome. And when you are sick and dying of death, he will send you someecards to make you choke on your own phlegm from laughing. It’s really really attractive.
But yay! Thanks lady, I love awards!
I always think it’s funny that people who read my site assume that I have this RIDICULOUS sex life where I do like, three guys a day for three hours each or something. I work seventy-hour weeks, I make my sex sessions COUNT so they’re worth writing about in some regard. And it helps to have a really really consistent fuckbuddy.
Oh thank you Nic you’re so lovely. And you certainly deserve awards aplenty yourself!
Cheers! x
Where’s my f*cking shout-out? I’m just kidding. Congratulations on your sparkly award.
