The kind, compassionate, & highly talented badass Miz Roket at http://mizroketfoto.wordpress.com/ (sorry, still can’t figure out hyperlinking) awarded me & additional magical bloggers her own magical 2012 Inspiration Award a month or so ago but I was inpatient trying to cope & never got around to acknowledging or handing out. Please check out her dynamite photo blog, it’s wondrous. Now – HOORAY – I can finally get to letting my inspirational blogging companions know how very much they inspire me.
There were no rules with the award but I’m gonna make some up just for fun – 10 quirky questions:
- 1. If you were a Disney character, who would you be? Mulan, bc she’s smart and humble and there’s some Daddy issue going on in that movie
- 2. What was your 1st job? Busgirl at an Italian Restaurant, $400 a week in the summer
- 3. If you had to live in a so called “3rd world country”, which would it be? Vietnam – because they’re badasses & expelled the Khmer Rouge
- 4. Coen or Farrelly Brothers? Coens – George Clooney singing “Man of Constant Sorrow”…what’s more awesome?
- 5. Favorite baby/child’s book? Goodnight Gorilla
- 6. Favorite non-existent punishment (well, non-existent in “1st world countries”) for monsters who harm the defenseless? Cleansing public stoning
- 7. What’s your favorite thing to do that is not strictly legal? Trespassing onto abandoned building with my daughters, specifically the old Danvers State Hospital.
- 8. Lord, it’s taking me all night just to come up with questions. How many times would you call the cops on your non-native (I’m an immigration professional – the variety that bring people INTO the US, this complaint is not about their race or heritage, it’s about their lack of respect) neighbors playing mariachi music outside all night long because they don’t have to get up in the morning before you just started hucking stuff out the window at them? aproximadamente cinco minutos
- 9. What’s an image that depicts how you feel right now?

Luke Chueh’s ‘Defender of the Holy Grail’ – I feel like I’m protecting my life with my very teeth and that it’s costing me dearly.
- 10. What’s your favorite ridiculous video?
OK, here goes the nominations. This eclectic selection of blogs & the magicians behind them really inspire me. Thank you!

Belgium! Hooray!!!!
I’ve always wanted to go inside and explore an abandoned building! I haven’t ever successfully done that, though.
Me either!!! I’ll have to do a photo post of the entire grounds, what a magical & haunted place that was, they tore it down to build luxury condominiums, but the cemetery is still there…I have an award for you but it’s the last one I’m going to award so maybe late weekend? Hugs!
I’ll enjoy seeing what the award is!
I also tagged you in the game of questions, as Sailor has: http://themirthofdespair.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/20-er-11-questions-no-i-mean-22-or-perhaps-33/
Oh christ, TWO rounds of questions! You’re both killing me!!!! Thanks for the tag, what fun! Love, j
aaaaw shucks… thanks! 🙂
🙂 I know, this the Magic Cat Award!
Love this! Oh and thanks for the mention – I just noticed!
You’re one of the best, you know.
Thanks for the compliment but I am definitely not one of the best and tonight I just want to kill the lawn – ha!
This is amazing post… I enjoyed to read these questions and answers… Congratulations dear Magical lady, and Thank you for thinking of my blog too. It is great honor for me always to have an award. Thank you again, Blessing and Happiness, love, nia

No, you are! XOXO
LOL cannot wait to answer these questions! There is also a game of tag I’ve included you in 🙂 http://sailorcarrie.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/a-game-for-us-to-play-again/ xoxoxoxox
p.s. Wandering around abandoned buildings sounds like creepy fun.
🙂
I loved Goodnight Gorilla b/c if mommy had been drinking there aren’t any words to mess up 🙂
um, not like your mother drank so don’t be scared for my children
xoxox
hahahaha, I felt like i needed to say that too! That’s so funny! XO
hahahahahaha, she has another book “10 minutes til bedtime” & the gorilla, banana & balloon features are all present – the kids have to point out everything on every page – takes forever.
I read to mine when I drink too! But I’m not much of a drinker. XOXO I have more awards, will have one for you 🙂
Thank you for the beautiful award, and congrats to you!!! We have posted it and the link here on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Broken-Light-Collective/217143911732438
