KIDS, I THINK I WON SOMETHING

So first I was tagged by Kelly of The Startup Wife with this little thingamajig,

and honestly the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw I was mentioned was, "What the hell is that man wearing over his unitard?" No seriously. What is that? Plus, the other dude, WHAT IS WITH THE EYE MAKEUP? After I got over the outfits I was also sort of tickled because ME! A blogger friendship-bracelet badge thing! Neat.   

But, honestly I was too lazy to follow through.

And then I just saw that Junket of Junket Juice who is lovely and I want to someday get very silly drunk with gave me this whatsadozit,

and I was like FINE I WILL PLAY ALONG BECAUSE ONE OF YOU THINKS I HAVE KARATE SKILLS, AND THE OTHER MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON ME. 

Here's how this works. I am 'supposed' to tell you 7 random things about me, but hello, my blog is like 7 million random things about me. Instead I will move on to section #2 of this chain gang letter and just tell you about 5 bloggers I read and love and totally might have a blog crush on. Most of these people don't read my work and are like 700 times more internet cool than little o'l me and therefore would never even think to participate, but that's ok with me because these things kinda give me stress guilt and then I sweat too much from all the pressure. I just want you to look at their sites and tell them how pretty you think they are.

• Jamie of A Life in Translation (Her blog tag line is basically why I hit 'subscribe'.)

• Miss Britt of well, Miss Britt (the writing, oh the writing.)

• Holly of Nothing but Bonfires (She has a British accent, which DUH I know you can't actually 'hear' in her writing, but it makes my blog crush on her all the more creepy and therefore I needed to over share that with you. OH, but she's also a tremendous writer. Does that make up for the fact that I admitted I have a crush on her? No? DAMN.)

• Shauna Glenn of ShaunaGlenn.com (HI-LARIOUS. Nuf Said.) 

• Ree of Pioneer Woman (Some of the best recipes, pictures, and honestly the worlds BEST online blog love story of all time. I know I am way late on the Ree=Amazing bandwagon, but whatevs.)

• Mona of Kirida.com (I know this is blog #6 and therefore not sticking to my 5 blogger thing I said before, but I don't follow rules well. And Mona's too cool for blog tagging rules anyway so she'll be proud I broke the rules in her honor.)

• Oh, and while I'm breaking the rules, how about Jen of One Wandering (waves manically), "Hi blog friend!" She's cool too, so go meander through her website. She takes beautiful pictures and writes lovely pieces, and once even said she'd bake me cookies and mail them to me. Which reminds me, JEN WHERE ARE THE COOKIES?

• Someone stop me this is too much fun. My LAST (I promise) blog love I need to share with you is Rebecca of Girls Gone Child. (There is something about the way she writes that has me tearing up 9 times out of 10 while reading her work. Like this post. OMG that post. And, yesterday she jumped over to my blog and left a comment. And then I died. TWICE.)

So there you have it. These people are all insanely cooler than I am and will probably never see that I called them out as rockstars, but I don't care. They're still totally stalk worthy. I suggest you do the same.

Wow, I did NOT notice the eye makeup, or, really, the unitard. HAHAHAH. What the heck.

[Ashley, The Accidental Olympian]

Right? It's odd. But in a weirdly awesome way I can't put my finger on.

[Junket]

My BFF lives in Olympia so you never know when I might be taking you up on that offer of drunkeness. It's a word. Maybe.

[Ashley, The Accidental Olympian]

Score!

[TheWordWire]

The guy in the unitard needs more chest hair, no? Thanks for the list of new blogs to check out!

Wow Ashley, thanks for breaking the rules to give me a shout-out!!! Now I guess I need to crawl out of my igloo, out from hiding underneath these piles of furs and dogs and hot tea and the Weeds Season 3 marathon of yesterday, and actually remember that that poor little piece of cyberspace could really use my attention, huh?! LOL

ps -- I love how the blue unitard guy is basically trying to impersonate Bruce Lee crossed with John Travolta. Impressive.

JEN -- I mean, what are rules for if not to break them?

Oh, and it's completely acceptable to neglect your blog for a Weeds marathon.
