I Don't Think Ibuprofen Helps, But I Always Take It Anyway

Someone gave me an Honest Scrap Award. How very nice in a week that's been predominately unpleasant! Some evil little gnomes have stolen my sanity. I don't know how to get it back yet, but my natural inclination to break porcelain dishes is swelling dangerously. Anyway,

The Honest Scrap Award rules are as follows:

1. “The Honest Scrap” award is not one to hold all to your self but it must be shared!
2. The recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves in their blog that no one else knows.
3. The recipient has to pass along this prestigious award to 10 more bloggers.
4. Those 10 bloggers all have to be notified they have been given this award.
5. Those 10 bloggers should link back to the blog that awarded them.

Thanks ASIF! for awarding me as sweet number 8! Like you, this is the first award I remember receiving in at least ten years. On we go with the riff raff. Keep in mind that these are things some may know and some may not, but are all random as necessary. I think the main people who actually read this won't know much of it.

1. I have an UGLYDOLL named Jeero that I cannot sleep without. I also collect some of the other ones, including Moxy, Toodee, Bop 'n Beep, Target, and special editions of Jeero himself.

2. I have The Little Mermaid sheets. My friend Mikie bought them for me as a present off ebay. They're one of the reasons I think about going to sleep on an hour by hour basis.

3. I don't have my own netflix account, I just use my cousin's because he signed in on my computer once. Sneaky, cheatsy, hobbitses (these are words you're probably, or deserve to be, thinking about me)

4. This year was supposed to be my Year of Enlightenment. That's a term I made up so I would learn, read, listen to music and watch as many movies as possible. So far I've read 10 books (including 6 Harry Potters that I re-read), 5 graphic novels, and 4 plays. I've bought 11 books. I've seen 27 movies in theaters, watched 41 movies somewhere besides the theaters, and listened to 14 albums. I'm almost done with two more graphic novels and one more book. All this makes me want to kick myself, but also be glad.

5. I've hand written maniacally ever since I was 14. I usually keep my current notebook with me and hide the rest. I'm on my 24th beloved notebook. Oh yeah, and I talk to them like they're a real live pal. It's sickening, I know.

6. I am obsessed with making lists and crossing them off. You should check out listography.com and get a listography yourself! It's the best site I've found all year.

7. I became a live-in nanny for a year when I was 18. Ha ha. That was fun. Since then I have been an Abercrombie & Fitch worker (GAG ME!), a production assistant, a toddler's movement instructor, a waitress, a camp counselor, and a costume character.

8. The homepage for my computer is Mugglenet. I. Love. Mugglenet.

9. I have anxiety. Very, very bad anxiety that includes OCD and panic. I also cry a lot. One of my best friends has suggested that I submit a video to crying while eating.

10. I failed every single one of my classes this year. So much for my Year of Enlightenment. But HAY: at least I'm trying again in a month. Cancel it out, right? Riiiight?

ALRIGHT, here are the people I'm awarding.
1. EMILY!
2. alicia!
3. cool as folk!
4. mydodsmother!
5. hannah!
6. mary beth!
7. dylan!
8. wheezy!
9. amy!
10. CHELSEEE!

Leesie said...

Gee, thanks, Jannigan! Quite an honor. Oh, by the way, I have little mermaid sheets as well, in addition to a little mermaid beach towel that I've had since the early nineties. It's my favorite towel by far.

+2 Cool Points for writing obsessively in notebooks AND keeping track of all the movies and books and such you've watched / read / whatevered this year.

amy the abattoir said...

i will definitely fill this out once i return to san diego! and you will see number six in my blog, as well! if you look into my junk drawer (you know the one...where things end up that don't have a better destination) there is endless post its and notebook paper with lists varying from 2 items to 50 items. example of topics: things to do on a certain date, favorite movies i've seen this year and some odd ones that don't make much sense like "what would ninja - my cat - be like if she was a human?" (note: intelligently sarcastic and undeniably snooty were the top of the list)

Mydodsmother said...

Thank you for including me; however, in regard to your comment about having not received any award in the past 10 years, I do remember a very prestigious award you received at v-school pertaining to your eminent entrance into great famousity (you and Lorenzo, remember?). Glimmer dress and academy awards are proof. I believe this was only 4-5 years ago.
Oh, and thanks for making me feel like I really do have to finally up-date my blog!

Hannah Miet said...

Blankets is by Craig Thompson. And maybe I don't know you in real life, but I know you well enough to say that it should be number one on your reading list. http://www.topshelfcomix.com/preview.php?preview=blankets&page=1 Please let me know what you think when you're done.

Also, please check my blog. I gave you an assignment. Because I like you.
