(There are updates. At the end. Don’t you just love updates that come at the end? I think they’re kind of awesome that way.)

So, I finally got an award that doesn’t require my answering of questions.

 [one_lovely_blog_award.png] 

PRAISE THE GOD’S OF BLOG AWARDS!

Instead, I’m supposed to give you links to OTHER BLOGS.

(damn you, blog gods. there’s always a catch)

I wasn’t entirely sure how to be fair about this “listing”…because there are lots of lovely blogs and lots of lovely writers of those blogs whose smiling faces visit me…and it makes me super excited when I see you, day in and day out, with your witty comments and fantastic ideas.

Super excited as in: I have to pee before I check for any comments to avoid potential accidents.

I want to reward those who give me and my random, crazy shit a second of their day.

Because that’s totally awesome of you…especially since I’m not like, über famous and I don’t hand out money or presents…though, if that first one ever changes, I swear: Presents for EVERYBODY!

Small presents. Or something.

Now, if you’re a lurker or stalker or whatever label you’d like to assign your stealthy habits but haven’t introduced yourself…well, I love you too. Lots, actually.

But I can’t reward someone I don’t see. You’re like a ghost…love him as company but damn difficult to feed him cause the soup just falls on the fucking floor.

And he can’t exactly hold a mop, either. Which also presents an issue.

My point is, you’ll have to come out to reap the benefits. And, think of it as like, a total bonus because that ghost will NEVER be able to be all fleshy again and have soup.

I mean, only if you want. I’m not trying to de-lurker you. Swear it.

So, moving on…I have IttyBittyCrazy to thank for this award.

(let’s all say thank you, IttyBittyCrazy!)

(trust me, you’ll want to thank her)

(it’s only polite, y’know)

(THANK HER, DAMMIT)

Oh, first, I must go over the “rules” (which we all know I never follow) of the award…

  1. Accept the award (Um. Yes. Check.)
  2. Post it (the image (damn. that’s a relief. thanks for the clarification cause I was totally thinking neon stickies and those would be a BITCH to paste here)) on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. (Umm…image + person = not together. Am I fired?)
  3. Pass the award to other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award. (This is where I totally diverge from said “instructions”)

So, think of this as an early Halloween present…or Christmas or Kwanza or Hanukkah whatever the hell you celebrate.

Though my gift will require some work on your part (SO. SORRY.)

I’m sure you’ve noticed I have ZERO blogroll, except for blog catalog or something…I honestly don’t even know what the link is anymore. I think the last time I looked at it was the second day I was blogging. And that was too long ago for me to remember.

I’m going to add a page that will be replacing buff-tober.

A links page.

Where I’ll add your blog (go you!)

Just let me know if you want to be added.

And if you add yourself to the page, consider yourself a recipient of the One Lovely Blog Award.

(which means you can totally take the image and follow the instructions for the award)

(the actual instructions. not the modified one’s)

(you can come up with your own instructions)

(don’t make me do all the hard work)

(dammit, people)

Anyway, email me…or leave a comment…or something.

It’s all the same to me.

Just as long as you’re not wishy-washy all, “I GUESS.”

UPDATE #1: No one is technically GIVING themself an award. So don’t feel all weirded-out and self-conscious.  Here, wait. I’ve got it:

To All Who Request to Be Added to Blogroll Page: I knight you.

Shit…I mean. I crown you…recipeint of coveted Lovely Blog Award.

Now take it. Dammit.

And plaster it you your blogs with pride.

Update #2: All you bufftoberites…all seven of you: Buff-vember…that just doesn’t work like Buff-tober works. Shit-Vember…now that’s something I can latch on to. I just…didn’t want to spend my month in the loo (sounds so much better than “bathroom”)…or having shitty things happen to me…or doing shitty things to you…hence a few of the many reasons to abandon Shit-Vember. I did it for you, really. Because you’re kind of my friends. I think. Except maybe Jenny. I think Jenny bailed…or got eaten or was beamed up by some freaky one-eyed alien.
