It Goes On and On and On and On

Up until a couple of months ago, I was a blogging virgin.  But one of the rules of blogging that I learned pretty quickly was reciprocal tagging.  I’ve always found it a compliment when anyone finds something I say interesting enough to tag. It makes me feel special – and I like to feel special.  So I was flattered when I got an incoming link from The Duck’s Tales (whoo hoo – remember that show?) to my blog – making me a “Certified Honest Blogger”   I was even more flattered when I got a tag from D-Magic (although, between you and me, I would have fought her if I hadn’t).

Apparently, when you’re it (as in “tag, you’re it”) you have to do a “couple things”:

1. When you receive the prize you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back
2. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs (or even more) that you find brilliant in their content or design.
3. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing they were prized with ‘Honest Weblog’
4. Show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize (optional).
5. And then we pass it on!

So, let me say, right off jump, I don’t personally know 7 bloggers, so, I’ll also be sharing some blogs that I enjoy reading – written by big time bloggers.

The other thing you are supposed to do is share 10 Honest Things about yourself. Now, I have to say, that thus far, I’ve been pretty honest, buuuuut, there are some things you don’t know, so without further aideu – here’s my ten.

1. I think that Ken breaking up with me is karma for all of the sucky things I did to the other boys/men in my life . . . hopefully, my penence is served and we can all move on now.  Karma’s a Beyotch!
2. I play dress up. All the time.  Just for fun.  It makes me feel like a princess.  I don’t wear princess clothes, just what’s in my closet.
3. I often talk to myself in the car.  I do my best thinking in the car and talking out loud helps me work through my problems.  I’m not crazy – I’m just an extrovert and the best way for me to approach a scenario is to talk about it out loud – even if nobody is around to listen.  People often stare – so sometimes I pretend I’m jamming to the radio.
4. I listen to Miley Cyrus. My piano students got me hip to her.  I rock out to her with my hairbrush in hand.
5. When Ken and I first broke up, it took me two weeks to really believe that it was over.  When I finally realized it was over I didn’t get out of bed until Tuesday at 8:30am.  I realized it Sunday at 6pm. Boy did that (and I) stink.
6. I feel some type of way when people tell me they “love the blog” or “read it all the time!”  I’m flattered and love that I have fans (man, that sounded so conceited) but could you please comment?  Pretty, pretty please?  Just once? It makes me feel so good.  OK – I’m done begging.
7. When my old roommie would tell me she wanted a dog so she could have somebody to love her I thought it was silly. . . Now, I know exactly what she means.
8. I have a really, really hard time cutting people who are bad for me out of my life.  In fact, I often time let the people who are the worst for me use me the most (Denny, Jerrell, Gate Crasher).  I can be snarky at times (a lot of the time) but, I’d do anything for anybody I care about even a little.
9. I moved to “Illadelph” to keep my relationship with Ken in tact when I graduated (solely for that reason – despite what I may have told my friends/family).  I knew that if I took a job in investment banking (capital “I,” capital “b,” which means the really hard core ish) that we would break-up.  So I gave up dreams of NYC and the life of an investment banker and moved here to be closer to him and work less.  We broke up anyway.  Go figure.
10. I am a serial monogomist and I’m trying to get away from that.  I’m getting the six-month itch and find myself wanting to be a part of a twosome again.  I need to be a onesome right now.  God is working on me – and He needs to do this one on just me.  All. By. Myself.
