So there I was, reading the blog of my new Bloggy Crush, Stephanie at Clay Baboons. She does these super-funny little clay scenes and then writes ultra-creative hilarious stuff to go along with it, and basically I laugh a lot and then go back and re-read it to make sure I didn’t miss any punch-lines or humor nuances and subtleties (note: that is supposed to say subtleties, I’m sorry if spellcheck corrected it to subtitles, but please be aware that Stephanie does not write in a foreign language even though she lives in Canada where everyone speaks French, but she is quite fluent in the language of Bwahahahaha, that is actually her native tongue). But I digress. The point is, I was reading her latest post, and she recommended a few other bloggers and I thought, “Oh, cool, let’s see if I have heard of any of them,” and there I was, scrolling on down, and KABOOM! My blog! She recommended my blog!
Now, this is not the very first time this has ever happened to me. I have received a few Versatile Blogger awards, the Liebster Award, I came in third once in a Trifecta Writing Challenge, plus I was interviewed by Chicago Parent Magazine online, and I even won a Pulitzer Prize*(*this award I gave to myself, so it might not “officially” count). But what made this such a unique experience was there was a picture of my book cover, too.
I fainted. Well, I didn’t faint faint, in the traditional sense of me falling out of the chair and losing consciousness, but my head did get a little woozy and I thought I might hyperventilate. I did what I always do in scary unfamiliar situations: reached for that bag of M&M’s on my desk and dove in.
Oh, Stephanie, Stephanie, does any of your clay look like M&M’s?
Thank you for recommending my blog. Right back at you (in an infinite loop of mutual admiration).
MOV
I love infinite loops, all that logic and maths.
ReplyDeleteditto ditto ditto ditto ditto (you get the idea)
Delete*sniff* So much love in this room. . .
ReplyDeletebut is it a unicorn kind of love?
DeleteWhat do I look like, a GPS?
DeleteYou aRe infinitely loopy, in a good Möbius Strip sort of manner.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that as a compliment. :)
DeleteOK, seriously MOV, this is getting embarrassing. No way do I warrant 3 posts of my own on your blog. Thanks - as always - for your kind words and encouragement. And I DO write in another language, just not on my blog! (I'm a frenchie, through and through. It's what I've done aaaaaaall day for the past 10 years - whenever I'm not making stuff out of clay - teach French.) And also...I did make M&Ms, on my last post. It's just they looked more like smarties and I couldn't be bothered to fix them.
ReplyDeleteD'accord, mon amie Stephanie, no more mentioning you on my blog. (Je suis une menteuse.) ha!
DeleteWell done! (again) Keep yup your funniness :D
ReplyDeleteand Aysh, I keep meaning to tell you that I really like the little picture that stands for you, the pink background and square boxy head and cute ears. Fun!
DeleteStephanie is awesome and so are you! I say ya'll just keep on rockin' the blogging world!
ReplyDeleteyay! thanks for your kind words! and love your blog too, need to catch up your archives. :)
DeleteGood for you MOV! I just discovered Stephanie's blog thanks to your posts here, it's great!
ReplyDeleteShea
