So, you guys probably didn’t know this, but I’m a big deal in blogging.  It’s true. You know how I know? Because I just got the Liebster award. It’s like the Oscars of blogging, which make me basically like Meryl Streep, except I look like Angelina Jolie.  Sort of.  Not really.

The description I got was: The Liebster award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers (I have over 1 million actually, I don’t know why it won’t show that on my page).  What is a Liebster?  The meaning:  Liebster is a German word and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcoming.

I first have to give you random facts about myself. (Sorry I know this will be rehashed information for those of you that read my autobiography “Crazy As Normal” and the follow up “Crazy As Normal Part Deux”.)

11 Random Facts About Me

1. I sound like Minnie Mouse when I sneeze.  And I HATE when people say “You sound like Minnie Mouse,” when I sneeze.

2. I had horrible taste in music (Top 40 – which I still occasionally listen to, so shut it) until about 10 years ago. Now I listen to bands you’ve never heard of, which as I understand it, makes me “cool” and a “hipster”.  I’m not growing a beard though. No matter how much my face wants to grow one.

3. I love science fiction. And Star Trek. And Zombies. And The Last Airbender. And Futurama. Space Ghost Coast to Coast – did you watch that? Genius. I do Comic-con, but I don’t dress up. I don’t want Patrick Stewart or Johnny Depp or Chris Hemsworth to see me dressed like a dork.  So I dress normally – but hot normal. And I always promise SAH to be gone for only two weeks if they take interest in me, because that’s what good wives do.

4. I cleaned my computer desk today. If you had seen what it looked like since I started blogging, you would have stood up and applauded at #4. SAH did anyway. After I asked him too. And then he rolled his eyes. That’s how we tell each other “I love you”.

5. I don’t really want to tell you 6 more things. So I’m using my celebrity status to cut it down to 5. I’ve got stuff do y’all. M-F is work and then Saturday I have to drive to Austin and protest cuts in public school funding. AND blog. And you know, sign autographs and stuff.

One of my Blogging BFFs at www.new2two.com gave me these questions to answer. She may have nominated other people. Whatever.

The questions are:

1. Most unique place you’ve visited. Wal-mart – those people from http://www.peopleofwalmart.com ? They all shop at mine. Also the worst place I’ve ever visited. And also the place I go to only if I have no other option within 30 miles.

2. Favorite vacation spot.  I haven’t been there yet, but it will be Australia and New Zealand when SAH graduates and we have money again. All I’m saying is Wombats and the LOTR tour.

3. An adventure or relaxation day. I want to sky dive, but Gidget made me promise her that I wouldn’t until all the kids were 18 because what if I died? Then my children would be without a mother all because I felt it necessary to unecessarily throw myself out of an airplane. So I wait. Ten more years.

4. Facial or shopping. Ain’t nobody got time for a facial when you have money to go shopping!!!

5. Meat or Vegetables. Vegan. 2.5 Years. Not because I love animals, but because I REALLY hate plants.

6. Stupid comedy or drama based on real events. Stupid comedy. I didn’t just pay $12 to leave a theater crying. 

7. Favorite music genre. You’ve never heard of it.

8. Languages other than English? Some Spanish. Learning french. Because I saw Bradley Cooper speaking it fluently a year and half ago while he was promoting The Hangover II and it was HOT.

9. Have you ever been skydiving?  If no would you? That’s really weird. I didn’t pre-read these. Ummm.  Since I ruined this question with my answer to number 3, please move on to 10.

10. How about bungee jumping? YES. But I can’t. See 3 again. I guess move on to 11.

11. Lastly….dream job? I want to hang with Jane Goodall and study gorillas, monkeys, & chimpanzees or go hang with Kevin Richards and study big cats in Africa. I really do love animals. And my family loves me so much they make fun of me for crying about anything that has to do with animals. Even the opening sequence of the Lion King. Tear up EVERY DANG TIME.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to answer the below questions, and follow all THE RULES posted below them. (Where did these come from? I googled “Worst Interview Questions Ever”. Fun, huh?)

1. If Germans were the tallest people in the world, how would you prove it?

2. Would Mahatma Gandhi have made a good software engineer?

3. You seem really busy, do you have time for this?

4. What part of a hamburger would you  want to be and why?

5. Would you rather fight a tiger or a shark?

6. Have you ever sued someone?

7. If you could be any superhero, which one would you be?

8. How do your parents feel about this?

9. Do you think Walt Disney’s body was frozen after he died?

10. Define “sexual harassment”.

11. Are you a jerk? Because we don’t really want any jerks around here.

THE RULES

1. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves. (You can do 5 too since I cheated.)

2. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you, and then create 11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.

3. Choose 11 new bloggers (of blogs that are up & coming) to pass the award to and link them in your post.  (I’m not picking because so many of you are all “I hate getting these awards.” So tell me you want it and it yours and I will update the post with your info.  I like doing them. And that may be because this is only my 2nd one. And the other one I changed the name of and made a new icon for because I didn’t like the other one. Who names an award “The Sunshine Award”? Lame.)

4. Go back to their page and tell them about the award.

5. No tag backs. (This is a stupid rule, but this isn’t my award – no tag backs is akin to cheating.)

I would now like to announce the winner of Best Short Form Hilarity: 

High Heels and Dirty Dishes

(Stay tuned for more winners as the day goes by!)
