Oh, and one more thing…
April 20, 2007
I was awarded a Thinking Blogger Award by Avitable (yes, only one person…heh) because he thinks I sound really great. Pff. If only he knew me in this thing I call “real life”, its completely different from blog life. I like totally victimize myself here.
Anyway, he instructed me to pick 5 other bloggers who make me think, and so I have! Even though I’m like a “blogging geek” and not many people know who I am unless they know Karen, Avitable, or Charred or have read my reviews at italk2much. I’m the nerdy person who stalks people. Well not really, I sort of read their blogs and barely comment because dial up sucks. Dejaview! I think I wrote that same sentence somewhere before…perhaps in a different life! And also, these are the first people who came to mind; so take no offense if you think you should be on here! Because a lot of bloggers make me think!
Ok, I’ll stop stalling now; here are the people I’m going to award this here Thinking Blogger Award to:
1. Troll Baby
Yeah I know what you’re thinking; just because she’s family right? Wrong. I would admire this woman even if she wasn’t a part of my family, but I’m glad she is. She’s one of my heroes, and I’ve even written a high school journal about her; but please don’t tell her, she doesn’t know. I consider her to be one of the strongest, bravest women I know. She had a pretty sucky childhood, and been threw a hell of a lot but she has risen above it and become a wonderful mother and person. If I could be half the person she is, then that would be just fine with me. Everything she says makes me think, and damn thats hard because Karen says a lot (which means I have to think a lot…just in case you missed that part).
2. The Cat Lady
Amanda is one of my favourite people, and one of the women I admire (and no, not in a creepy stalkerish way). She’s lost her husband to the most horrible murderer out there; cancer, but she still keeps trucking. She’s funny, shes brave, and she’s amazing. She’s made me laugh, cry, think, and strive to be a better person. I don’t think I could ever start over again if I was in her position, and that’s made me admire her all the more. Because she’s so strong. She’s making new dreams, but still keeping the old ones close to her heart.
GD is another person I admire, she happens to have a rare medical condition - just like myself but different, she has EDS and the stories she tells on her blog make me laugh. I love her outlook on life; despite having a medical condition that has her rushing to the ER to put her limbs back in their sockets, she remains upbeat and keeps a fresh attitude about life. Having a medical condition doesn’t seem to alter the person she is, and I wish I could say the same for me. I’m sort of getting at that stage, but I’m definitely not there yet.
4. An Oxymoron Is Not An Idiot With Zits
CP is another that really makes me think; and laugh. She’s been on my blogroll now for about a year, but it wasn’t until a couple months ago that I realized just how amazing of a person she really is. See, I’m not one to go way back into a persons archeives - dialup is just too damn slow for that - so I had no idea she was in an abusive relationship. I admire her for everything she’s been through, and she always manages to make me laugh. She’s overcome her past and built from it, away from it, and thats just really amazing. The stories about her mom just make laugh, although I know it must be hard for her having a mother that…uh, well Esther-ish.
Charred has been with me since my early days of blogging, he found me through the lovely Karen and we both like to call him Uncle Charred because he acts like an over protective, advice giving uncle, and it’s pretty damn cool. He makes me think about decisions I’ve made and things I’m going through, and he’s always great for advice. His blog definitely makes me think, because half the time I can’t understand what he’s talking about! He uses big words, and big words confuse Sarcastica ;.; (thats a crying face by the way). I’m joking, just when he rambles on about computer gadgets I get all confused. Hey, the extent of my computer knowledge is turning it on or off, and getting connected to the internet. Thats where it ends. But he’s always teaching me something new, and teenagers need that!!
There you have it! I guess you can all just name five other bloggers that make you think…if you want. And award them it. Be sure to link to the original post so other people will know where the meme came from!
And Avitable, you also make me think…but you’ve been awarded like 3 times now so its time to pass the award on!
