Awesome Guy Bloggers vs Rockin Guy Bloggers

Posted on November 1st, 2007 in Memes | 3 Comments »

As I was creeping through the internet last night, I noticed that this rockin lady has created this nifty award, based on my Rockin’ Girl Blogger award.

Check it out:

As opposed to what I started in June, which was this ugly little button:

I really like the first one better. I know that this doesn’t speak for my design skills, but hey, that was in June. I’ve honed my skills since.

The idea behind these awards was that you get to start something. Anything. Get an idea and run with it. And that’s what she’s done for her friend, Victor. The Awesome Guy Blogger award never really took off like the Rockin Girl Blogger has. I thought I could attribute that to the ugliness of the actual button, but I still don’t know the cause.

If I had to redesign the Awesome Guy Blogger award today, here is what it would look like:

Grab that and nominate an awesome guy blogger that you read, today.

8 Facts you didn’t care to know about me…

Posted on July 5th, 2007 in Memes, Networking | 14 Comments »

But I’m telling you anyways….due to the fact that MsDanielle was kind enough to tag me.

Here is how this thing works:

  • * Each player must post these rules to begin the meme.
  • * Each players starts with eight random facts or habits about themselves.
  • * People who get tagged must blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  • * At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • * Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
  • On to the 8 things you didn’t ask, but I’m telling you anways :D

    1. I’m like a walking spellcheck. Seriously, it’s one on my pet peeves when people don’t spell correctly. Use a spellchecker! Ahhhh! (Ok, next…)
    2. I don’t have any pets currently. I used to have a hamster named Dave (after Dave Mustaine of Megadeth), but he died when I was 17.
    3. I am online way too much. I blog a little in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I think I’m addicted to the internet.
    4. I’m writing a book/novel about stuff I can’t tell you about. It’s going to rock…it’s been about two years in the making so far.
    5. I hate snow. It’s true, I’d love to live somewhere in the south, where it never snows…or where they cancel schools if it snows two or three inches.
    6. I love air conditioning. When the heat gets to be too much (like today), it’s time to turn it on. Woohoo, central air is the best thing ever.
    7. I eat Ramen noodles even though I’m not poor….lol Okay, I know they’re not just for poor folks, but when your Ramen poor, it’s a terrible shame. (Been there, and if you’ve been there, too, then you know what I’m talking about…)
    8. I used to play Everquest like crazy. You do this and suddenly, you have no life. None. I have a level 56 Cleric named Leillanie. She’s awesome.

    Now, for the fun part, I get to tag eight other unsuspecting victims, I mean friends.
    I’m firstly tagging Bloggrrl, cuz I read her site all of the time, she’s hilarious.

    Next on the chopping block, I’m tagging Sassy. She’s hilarious, too…her posts make me laugh and think, which is rare.

    Number three goes to Paula at Polliwog’s Pond. She just rocks.

    Fourth in the tagging game goes to Jane at Daily Web Ideas. Great design, great new blog name!

    My fifth tag goes out to Angie at Suncoast Scribe. Tag, you’re it!

    Sixth is all about Donovan. He’s a cool techie guy and a great blogger. He’ll probably respond when he gets back from vacation.

    The seventh tag goes to Pfunk. Check out her blog, it’s pretty cool.

    And, last, but not least, I tag Aimee at Foximus. You, too, can learn how to do everything, by reading their blog.
