Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful

Aww...you like me! You really like me!

It is my pleasure to announce that I have been granted a Beautiful Blogger Award, and it's about damn time. No, I kid — I think it's awesome. Thank you, The Chicken's Consigliere (alias "TCHC" around these parts) for the honor. And congratulations to my faithful stalker, Dalia, on her honorable mention. :D

I am passing on the gift to:

Stolen Sentiments, a fellow musical muser and loyal follower of mine (thanks for hanging around!);

The Rebel Yell, the voice of my grrrls, The Long Island Roller Rebels;

The Sassy Curmudgeon, for being WICKED AWESOME and inspiring me to do this crazy thang;

Tom & Lorenzo, the most fabulous bitches on the Interwebz;

and precious li'l Kaits: it can't all be wedding cake. *mwa!*

And now the REALLY fun part:

"Name 7 tidbits people don’t know about you from reading your blog."

HAHAHA! Things people don't know about me? Like I'm not an attention-craving narcissist with no filter who's already revealed everything, whether you want to know it or not? Gee, what ELSE can I say about myself?? Ok, here goes...

1. My very first celebrity crush was on Johnny Depp.
And my affection still holds true to this day. I am a firm believer in doing things right the first time around — none of this New Kids On The Block crap for me.

2. I am terrified of inflatable holiday lawn ornaments.
You know, like those giant blow-up snowmen and Santas that you always see in front of car dealerships around Christmas time? When you pass by one at night, and they're just looming there and grinning in the dark with no one else around? Fucking creepy.

3. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year of high school.
There will be a separate post devoted entirely to this topic in the near future. Trust me, it's a gold mine.

4. My shoe size is 8 ½.
Um...yeah.

5. I don't know how to swim.
I had a hole in my eardrum when I was little and couldn't go underwater without earplugs, so I never learned. Oh yeah — and I have a hole in my eardrum and am partially deaf.

6. I lost my virginity at 22.
What can I say? I was a late bloomer.

7. I'm Tyler Durden.
No, I'm just kidding. I'm really Keyser Soze.

Thank you, all!
