Haaave you met Simon? As far as Internet personalities goes, he's the most gentlemanly blogger I know. (I keep meaning to make that award for him too. Someday, Simon, keep waiting.) Any way, he handed over the Honest Scrap award to me the other day on his blog (which you should visit) because I'm awesome, and I rather like it. Thank you, Simon.
I think I'm supposed to give up ten honest factoids about myself in lieu of an acceptance speech, but you got both. You are SO lucky.
Ready go.
1. I have moved 12 times in the last 5 years. I plan to move to Colorado next. I've wanted to live there since I was 5 years old and I don't exactly have any solid reasons to stay put.
2. I can say the alphabet backwards. I can sing it backwards too. I tell many people this and no one ever seems to think it's impressive. Huh.
3. Despite being all self-deprecating and critical, I really am a hopeful at heart. I've been listening to I Just Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble a lot lately.
4. I feel like I'm boring you to death with these facts.
5. I cringe at the sound of a British accent. I'm sorry to all the lovely and nice British people of the world, but I hate your accent. The first and only Brit I ever knew was just too awful to me and I can't stand hearing you speak. I really am sorry.
6. On that note, I adore throatier accents (e.g. Russian, German, Italian, French, Greek...). See, again, based on people. The first Russian, Italian, and French people I knew are still a part of some of my best memories.
7. I happen to think Henry Cavill is supermegafoxyawesomehot. And that's big, coming from me.
Go ahead and take a moment, the facts aren't getting any more interesting... *Swoon*
8. If you watched the Michael Buble video, I find his seductive face funny. He's a great-looking guy on his own, but something about his trying to be sexy, I don't know. It's more adorable than "come hither".
9. My sister gave me a Harry Potter wand for Christmas. If that wasn't awesome enough, IT CONTROLS THE TELEVISION. That's right, quite literally with the flick of my wand I can control whatever function of the television I like. I love the big swoosh I programmed for mute. :-X

10. I suck at HTML. I hate coding, colors and all that. I'm a minimal blogger.
And to pass it on?
I'm going cheap on this, but will attempt to talk my way out of it.
I'M PASSING THIS AWARD TO THE FIRST THREE COMMENTERS. (Unless you've had it in the last two months.) GO GET IT, FIGHT FOR YOUR PIECE OF HONEST SCRAP.
My reasoning (other than just feeling too lazy to click around) is that the main point of these awards is for our friends in the same blog circles to meet and learn about one another. If someone has taken the time to read my blog, humble as it is, and comment, they're someone worth navigating to find out about. And like, the link is already there...
You know, because they add you and you add them, and you read about each other and comment, and Earth smiles because there is peace and harmony. Do it for Earth, ya'll.
Okay my comment doesn't count bc I already have this award... But I stilllll have to say: Henry Cavill? Mother of all SWOONS! Oh man.
ReplyDeleteAlso. I want that remote. :-)
My comment doesn't count either, because it should really go to someone who doesn't have it yet, but I wanted to say congrats on your award. The Harry Potter wand sounds way too cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteDont count me, I think I've gotten this a few times, but Henry Cavill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWOOOOOON! SQUEEE! OMG the love I have fr him is....siiiiigh! And I really really want that wand, omg!!! Also I agree, Simon is one of the most gentlemanly bloggers out there as well as one of the most thoughtful and funny commenters.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award and, whoa, you sure don't bore with a factoid like you can say the alphabet backwards! I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the Henry Cavill is a fox thing--his eyes, his eyes!but has he not the British speak?
Afraid I can not accept this award as I possess it, too.
I can say the alphabet backwards too! And I've also noticed that no one seems to appreciate the awesomeness of this fact. Their loss.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Henry Cavill. Yes.
I'm blushing here, good lady. (Well, good ladies, since Frankie agreed.) Do Scottish accents count in your hatred of all things British sounding? What about Northern Irish or Welsh? Just curious, as a representative of one of those countries over which England extended dominion a bunch years ago and created racial angst that abides to this day. (Although, admittedly, I could care less nowadays. 3,000 miles and a buncha years do that to a fellow.)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome for the award, m'dear. And may I recommend Boulder, CO as a nifty location in which to reside for a time? I could recommend a number of excellent watering holes... :)
So all the ladies are in agreement of Mr. Henry Cavill being a fox? OH sweetness! And the wand is sooo mega awesome, you wouldn't be dissapointed.
ReplyDeleteOh Tricia, I'm not sure. I know he does a lot of timeperiod acting (The Tudors, Count of Monte Cristo, I Capture the Castle, & Tristan and Isolde) but I've been kind of hoping he was faking it. Either way, he finds himself into MANY of my favorite movies/shows and so I hereby extend a personal pardon if he does possess the "British speak." :)
And Simon.
I used to nanny for a Scottish man last year, and I hung out at an Irish pub constantly when I lived in Orlando. So, no they do not invoke cringing. But in all honesty, they ARE a little too close to the British for my "swoonability". I have an internal dialog when it comes to the "British umbrella", in which the men seem to think they're irresistable to American women no matter their actions, like we're all stupid and naive... and, yeah, just no bueno. But! You are making great strides for the less-throaty accents of the world in my warped sensibility. Pat your respectable personality on the back and sing loudly in whatever accent you've kept. Never mind I've never actually heard you speak. ;)
Congratulations on your award. Interesting facts. I've never been able to do the alphabet backwards. I'm surprised about the British accent. So you don't watch some popular movies because of that?
ReplyDeleteROTFL... Ummm I want that wand... please? ;)
ReplyDeleteI read! I read! I just don't always comment cuzz its in Google Reader... But I am not the first three so I am off the hook... SCORE!
Though I might do something similar in a vlog soon... Hmmm
Didja run today? I haven't yet... soon!
