a heart and a bucket
i was the geeky girl in oversized eyeglasses and white Gitano jeans who ate lunch by herself in the library. always ducking under the radar, listening to mazzy star and writing poems about crawdads. then, one day, the most popular girl in junior high decided to take me on as her new pet project, which made me a little insecure and excited that somebody might actually like me.
when wendy b tagged theue for the thinking blogger award this morning, i was reminded of this lost feeling. i actually can’t believe that this lovely ossie clark-wearing extraordinaire would think of the ue (much less read the post about the departed eucalyptus ).
I’m flattered, a little embarrassed, but oh, so excited to share this award with five blogs that have inspired brain candy, envy and etc.
The ue officially honors these five blogs for the thinking blogger award (read this for instructions on how to claim your prize):
-
when losing it in az showed me the secret post that she had penned, i needed her in my life immediately. recently, i experienced a softer side to losing it that gets me all sentimental and mushy inside. i put my dull, lifeless hair in her hands; and guess what? these gray hairs are shining because of her.
-
peter and the hare understand my anna ahkmatova crush. and i’m super jealous that the hare found and posted this picture before i did.
-
i’ll never get past my minirobot crush. she makes me fashion daring.
-
me and boca, we go way back. it’ll always be the case that boca knows how to brown nose professors and write about rats better than i ever will.
-
and finally, paxgitmo’s blog that always gets the brain motor moving. plus, i love her famous ducks.
p.s. thank you wendy!
Thank YOU for recommending five new blogs! I’m excited to check them out. I also had a pleasant LOLcats mental moment due to your bucket picture.

I am stunned. Overwhelmed.
I didn’t even know anyone read blogs anymore.
(Did you see the recently-anointed ‘Buzzmakers’ today? Do you see what they’re writing? Post-S-Curve versions of what we Blogspotters have been doing for YEARS.)
So I’ve been discouraged and self-hating. Grumpy and alone.
I really want to acknowledge this, but circumstances are teh suck lately.
This is an honor I can’t begin to express.And this is the shot in the arm my writing has needed to get me away from where I’m misunderstood and yet feel so comfortable.
Hello, Desertlily’s blog. Nice to meet you.

hehe ue, feel free to use that wonderful picture. everyone’s stealing from somebody. I’m sure you could use it much better than i did.
thanks for the honour.
i think i’ve said this before but you make fashion interesting to me, and i’m the kind of person who stumbles out in any old thing that prevents me from being naked. and i might have even considered being a nudist and some point. and then my relationship with fashion would be strained indefinately.
Q: What am I saying?
anyway thanks and, yeah use the pic.
