Deep Thoughts!

Dang this is my week to do the "aw shucks" blush and shrugs. Belle over at Devilish Southern Belle has awarded me the Thinking Blogger Award. We truly were seperated at birth!

Now it is my turn to spread the love and Sparkly Gold Banner!

Here are the official rules

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the "Thinking Blogger Award"

Down to the goods! Here are 5 blogs you should be reading if you are not already!

1. The108 - I am actually pretty new to 108's blog. And I am pissed I was not let into the club sooner. This girl SLAYS me. As in I might need Depends if she describes Labor and Delivery again in the near future. And the Ballgown story?!? Holy Shit!

2. Parlancheq - Another woman who makes me laugh my ass off. From her random consumer reviews to the meme's she answers to her rants at her neighbors - this is one witty woman.

3. Echos of A Dream - The Enigmatic Thirty Year Old and the saga of her life, her job, her Muffin, and her future not quite but entirely unlike GrandSpawn make great reading. Plus she is snarky. I love snarky.

4. Bond's Big Leather Couch - Is it possible he has not been tagged for this?! HOW?!? Vinny is the man, people. You got your TV reviews, you got your creepy original fiction, you got your sports talk and you can always count on a kickass sound track. Simply an awesome and entertaining blog!

5. Theory of Thought - She is 17, people. *17.* And a stellar writer. If you think teens these days are a lost cause (and face it once you are over 30 of course you do) then you need to head on over and make yourself at home. She is honest, funny, wacky, sarcastic, and has spooky talent for one so young.

Hold This Thread As I Walk Away

I am the creamy white center in the middle of two Meme's. Oh was that raunchy enough? You can see from the post below that I am damned so I figured I better start bringin it!

First up is The Question and Answer Meme courtesy of Parlancheq (pretty sure she is damned too :P) and it is a mother honker one. Settle in folks I am gonna be burning up the pixels. Appropriately enough, this is my 300th post.

1. What time is it?

It is time for more coffee, is what time it is. Otherwise known as 1:45pm

Well I have been trying to eat a subway sandwich for about the last hour but I keep getting distracted. Damn you Blogger for ruining my metabolism.

All right! Feeling so virtuous now. Meme #2 comes to me from Hopeful Spirit and is the 8 Things About Me Meme. My habits and quirks, coming to a multiplex near you!

1. I have never seen The Sound of Music and I never will. I barfed a bit just typing that out.

2. I drink a lot of coffee. I mean a LOT of coffee. It is a wonder the Red Cross gets any blood out of me. I think they have to centrifuge out the espresso.

3. I have weird food rituals surrounding pancakes. I must have them after concerts and sex.

4. I read non fiction textbooks for fun. Actually I buy them not just read them.

5. I love football and action movies with much guns and violence. Jackie Chan is a bonus. They are going to take away my chick card real soon.

6. I drive to relieve stress or just for entertainment. Music loud, cold Coke, windows wide open. I love love love wind. I was a Lab in a previous life I am positive.

7. I never met my biological dad. Well at least that I can remember. Supposedly I am an interesting case study in nature vs nuture.

8. The first and last guys that I slept with were both Southern. They were also the only ones who were any good! Coincidence? Dunno, but here is hoping The South Rises Again ;)
