I know you're probably so incredibly tired of me getting awards.
It's like watching the pretty girl get all the red carnations on Valentine's Day in eleventh grade homeroom, I'm sure.
I hated the pretty girl who got all the red carnations on Valentine's Day in eleventh grade homeroom.
I never got a carnation on any day in any grade, so these awards are kinda sorta a really big deal for me in processing the rejection I felt as a teen.
It's fun to be the coolkid every once in awhile, even at 32 1/2 years old.
All weekend long I was thinking how incredibly awesome it was that I saw mention of one of my very best flesh and blood friends, Mara, on one of my very best internet friends, Lizzi's, blog.
It made me feel both connected and responsible for a connection and part of a community where we all have a voice and make a difference in each other's life.
I'm assuming Lizzi and Mara know each other through Jakezilla, or maybe I'm really just overly self-important and I think the whole world revolves around me and my blog.
Anyway, Mara in DC typed something that made a difference in Lizzi in Arizona's life and they publicly shared some really deep and personal stuff about themselves for the whole world to see.
That's pretty damn special.
Thank you so much Mara, for the Honest Scrap Award and Lizzi, for the Neno Award. And thank you even more for becoming friends.
May the two of you discover just how much you have in common right down to the tippytippy toes of your souls.

I really think it's so cool how people have come together over the blogging network. Making friends of friends you wouldn't know - and finding things in common with one another. It's awesome. That's why I love blogging so much. The people and friendships have been amazing.
The world does revolve around your blog! I started reading Lizzi's blog regularly after I saw the link in your blog roll.
You have always been all about connecting people and keeping in touch. You introduced Eric and I. You brought me back together with old friends and co-workers through Wed Spag. You rock!
I don't know why everyone doesn't read your blog. You're like a blog matchmaker of sorts. We need more connections in our lives, and more realizations of our similarities. It really is a small world and we're not all that different. It's funny, but blogging, something not in the flesh and blood, has made me feel more connected to people all over the country than to some of my closer friends here. Thanks!
