-268 Oh ! ShanWOW!

So I faceiciously suggested to the insanely funny yet slightly unhinged Shannon of Shanimal's Crackers to create her own award with her own rules. And if you haven't checked out her blog you really need to. She's hilarious particularly before you drink your coffee in the morning ( actually just as hilarious after too ) ;)

As she said to me - be careful what you wish for - or suggest ;)  

So drumroll please I have been bestowed the honour of the ShanWOW Award ! Hurrah !!!

 

RULES:-Tell us your five most-played songs from your iTunes.

-Make a wish.

-Say the magic word. (For those of you who don't know, it's "Shidobee.")

-Did your wish come true? No? Then you're not saying it with enough emotion. Try again. This time, try yelling shidobee at the next thing that moves. It'll scare the crap out of it.

-Still no? Dang. Oh, well. It's a good thing you have this crappy (I mean this literally and figuratively, because, hey, if you did the above instructions then it really made someone shidobee) award to fall back on. Thank me later.

I changed my mind. I give this ShanWOW award to everyone who reads skims this post. That means you. And YOU. Hey, that old man standing behind you who's sneaking a look over your shoulder at your computer screen? Yep, this one's for him too.

So here goes....lol 

My five most played songs on itunes are;

Wedding Dress - Matt Nathanson

Brand New Day - Joshua Radin

As much as I ever could - City and Colour

  Bus Stop - Basement Birds

& a dead tie between 5th place.....

Paul Colman Trio ( or aka PC3 ) Dip  &

Katie Noonan when she was still with George - Special Ones

Now for the rest. The Cat Empire is not pleased with the yelling of Shidobee. He almost fell off the back of the chair behind me. And - Ouch. I didn't remember making a wish of being poked at by a claw of discontent. :P

So c'mon - who's next ? I really would like to see this Award circulating the blogs ;)

-291 My 7 Facts Award!

One thing I love about having an iPad is being able to lie in bed of a morning ( particularly Saturday mornings ) and read my emails and check out Facebook before I even decide if it is indeed worth getting up. ;)

This morning I opened up my email and found that Miss Blase whose very cool blog I discovered yesterday had bestowed upon me the 7 Facts Award!

Hurrah! 

So here are Miss365's 7 Random Facts that may or may reveal my Bruce Wayne identity - depending on how well you know me that is! ;)

1. Up until the age of 24 1/2 the longest I was ever without a boyfriend was about a month. I still remember that being the longest month of my life. I have been single since April of 1999. Yep - no relationship since in the 90's. 

2. I think I hit my peak in Kindergarten when I had two Year 2 boys give me gifts on alternate weeks until the end of Year 1. They moved on to Year 3 and changed sides of the school. I still remember some of the gifts - talcum powder, a cute little doll house furniture chest of drawers and the fizzy feeling in my stomach every week when I used to run home every Friday after school, close my bedroom door and open my gifts. I still remember those boys names. I should Facebook them. Lol. 

3. While I love high end snooty person cheese I have a thing for McDonald's cheeseburger cheese and cheese in a can. Please don't judge me. ;)

4. I genuinely mourned when LOST aired its last episode last year. I watched every ep, read forums & theories, participated in some of the ARG's that popped up during the wait between seasons and every Christmas holidays started watching the series from beginning to end again. I was team Sawyer all the way ( but for me not for Kate! ) and was genuinely horrified to read that he and Juliet were going to hook up but fell in love with the two of them together. I still miss LOST ( and I think I just potentially outed myself on this one ! Lol ! Shhh if you know who I am ! )

5. Not proud of this by any stretch of the imagination but I find it amusing but pre Christian I was once so high that I spent 10 hours one night analyzing a Metallica documentary. Proof that drugs do nothing to enhance your life. 

6. I recently found out that I have mild Sensorineural hearing loss in both ears and apparently it's congenital which means I was born with it. I could wear hearing aides in both ears if I wanted to. What is interesting is that I've never had issues with reading or schoolwork and I am a singer. I struggle with not going flat at times but the only thing I notice that I find somewhat difficult is  with is trying to follow one person's voice in a conversation when there is a lot of background noise. 

7. I am a perfectionist with the messiest flat in the world. I watch 'How Clean is Your House' and 'Hoarders' and literally thank God for making me an extrovert rather than an introvert because the only time my house gets thoroughly 'cleaned  & scrubbed' rather than 'cleaned and tidied' is when I have someone coming over. 

Ok. So there are my 7 Facts. And the rules are.....

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog - Yep. Thank you Miss Blase.
2. Post 7 random facts about yourself - done :)
3. Pass this award onto 15 worthy bloggers. There shall be a post coming soon. It may be one that add to bit by bit but I'll do it. 


This was fun !
