Twas Brillig

This post is just BEGGING to be in list form.  So, here goes.

1.  So, the other day, as I was making my blogrounds, lo and behold, I stumbled on a post by my dear friend Ramblin’ Red of Ramblings of a Red-Headed Step-child who had, astonishingly enough, given me this award:

I guess that makes it official, folks! My blog? Is BRILLIANT! (Or brillante, but… whatever).  Because Red says so. Specifically, this post. Now, I suppose that the tradition with these things is that when one is awarded, one passes it on. Hmmmm, this is starting to sound an awful lot like a Meme— and I have made no secret about how I feel about Memes. I don’t like them. I don’t want to be tagged with them. I don’t want to tag other people with them. And yet… this one feels just a tiny bit more special. I mean, the word BRILLANTE was used!!! So, I’m going to pass it on. And I pass it on to my real life AND bloggy gal-pal Charrette for her post, “Lifetime Vigils.”  If you haven’t already, go over there and read it and you’ll see why I would give it such an award.

2.  My blogroll is officially UP AND RUNNING.  It’s complete, as far as I know, so please go and look at it and make sure that your link appears as you’d like it to (and that it works…).  If you’re not on my blogroll, it’s your own darn fault.   And what I mean by that is, just let me know and I’ll add you.  Go on.  Don’t be shy.  Someone recently described my blogroll as “Free Linking! It is like the 70’s era of free love, but in the blog world.  Thanks for the free love…”  Exactly, folks.  Free Bloglove.  That’s what I’m all about.  Of course… it never hurts if you… um… return the favor…

3.  Who here hasn’t heard of BloggersAnnex yet?

It’s this new site, dedicated to publishing the best of the best posts from Bloglandia.  The idea is that everyone who is the least bit inclined can join and then  can submit a post or two or ten thousand to be published.  But here’s the catch:  only one post makes the cut per day.  Hahaha.  Wicked, isn’t it.  This way, it’s an honor to be published there.  And also, readers always know that when they land on that site, there will ALWAYS be something worth reading.  AND GUESS WHAT!!!  The post that was chosen today? is ONE OF MINE!!!  So… I beg you.  Go over there and read my post.  It’s short.  And then comment there, so I don’t feel like an utter fool.  That would be awesome.  And then, read the other posts that have been published (there are only two or three others so far, all of which are far more brilliant than mine), and then join BloggersAnnex and submit YOUR stuff!  EVERYONE has something lurking in their archives that they’re just dying to repost and give more traffic to.  The more the merrier, right?

Okay, dudes.  A list of just 3 things.  Wow.  I really limited myself today.  Impressed, aren’t you!  Of course, they all have homework attached to them.

As for me, I’m off to go finish reading Breaking Dawn.  I’m a bit more than halfway done.  And this is all I have to say:  “RENESMEE?”  Are you frickin’ brackin’ KIDDING ME????  I’m pretty sure I’m stupider for having read just this much.  And yes, I’m going to go finish it.
