If you don't believe that she actually DID nominate me for the award, here's the page where I'm listed: Holy Shitballs. What an appropriate title to a blog post with a reference to me. Fuck it, I'm honored! But, as my luck would have it, this award isn't just one of those "here ya go have a nice day" kind of awards. There were strings attached. Kinda like getting married. And, having children. This is the story of my life. Anyway... I have to follow some award acceptance rules lest I shalt be guilt ridden to the point of insanity by the Blog Gods and my left boob will fall off. That would make me lopsided. We can't have that, now can we? So, here's what I have to do: Thank the person who nominated me for the award (done.), write a blog post containing seven interesting things about myself (ugh), and nominate 10 other bloggers for the same award (easy breezy). So, without further adieu, here's some shit you may or may not know about me:
1. I don't wear bras or panties unless I absolutely, positively have to. We're talking gun to the head kinda shit. I don't go sans drawers because I think it's sexy or my coochie needs to be aired out or I'm one of the leftovers from Woodstock. I go without because those contraptions are just too constricting and they make me feel claustrophobic. When I get claustrophobic, I tend to get stabby. You wouldn't like me when I'm stabby.
2. I'm anal about "even stevens". Shit has to be balanced or I start seeing spots and my tongue starts to swell. If there's an end table on one side of the sofa, there better damn well be another one on the other side. And, if you're gonna hang a TV on the wall, it better be right in the middle of the wall or I'll lose my shit. This is why I can't eat an open-faced sandwich or wear my hair like Deb on Napoleon Dynamite.
3. I once stole a Cover Girl mascara from Woolworth's. I had no intentions of stealing it. I was planning on having my brother steal it for me in exchange for a stack of Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, but that mofo wanted to charge me $2 cash for the steal (he was an entrepreneur at an early age). Fuck that shit. So... I swiped it myself. Afterwards, I broke out into hives and kept watching my back thinking the FBI was going to bust me at any moment. I suck at guilt-free thievery.
4. My shit don't stink. Literally. It smells beautiful no matter what I eat. It's like honey suckle with a hint of citrus. I get compliments from Hubber all the time. I'm all, "I just took a dump, do not go in the bathroom"... and he goes in anyway and is all, "Baby, it smells awesome in there. It's all flowery and nice." True story.
5. I shave my arm hair. And, I don't mean just my pits. I mean my ARM hair, too. I can't afford to wax and I'm a hairy motherfucker. I don't want to be confused for a sasquatch, so I put a razor to that shit on a regular basis. I blame my heritage. Mexican women are hairy, ya'll. Thanks a lot, Mom! If I had $300 right now, I'd go by myself a No-no.
6. Unlike most geniuses, I do NOT suffer from insomnia. You'd think that with an IQ like mine and a brain as big and juicy as mine is, I'd have the burden of too much thought - so much so that I'd stay up all night thinking and thinking and thinking of shit. You'd be wrong. When I hit my pillow, I pass out, y'all. I can sleep and sleep and sleep. I love to sleep. And, I can pretty much sleep anywhere and under almost any condition. Except, under water. I tried that and I almost drowned.
7. I have been watching The Young and the Restless for 25 years. It all started when I was 13 years old and I went to spend the summer in the valley with my cousins. They got me hooked on that shit and I haven't missed an episode in 25 years. I love to hate Victor Newman. It amazes me that Katherine Chancelor is still alive...she's gotta be pushing 100. And, I'm not loving the new Abby. They really should consult me before making cast changes
Whew. That was tough. But, I'm done exposing myself to y'all. For now, anyway. While you're anxiously awaiting my next post, why not go and check out some of these other blogs more worthy of the "Very Inspiring Blogger Award" than I am:
