A Nice Matters Award has been bestowed on me by Akelamalu, who is still in awe that the Film Geek remains alive after the toothbrush caper. As well she should be. If that ever happens again I'll be needing an entirely different kind of award. One with a metal file in it to aid in my jailbreak.


This award thing gets tricky sometimes, because I think all of my blog buddies are nice. If they weren't nice they wouldn't be my blog buddies. Ya know what I'm sayin'?



But, as I looked down my blogroll I noticed that these three ladies are very deserving and don't have this particular award on their shelf yet. They do now! For support, wonderful comments and just generally having the kinds of places I like to hang out, I'm passing this on to...


kaycie at lost in the Bible belt

Amy at blog to the bone

Irene at Sweet Wood Talking

Now, go forth and spread Niceness by passing this on to fellow bloggers that make your day.

Also, I've been tagged for the middle name meme by both Jo Beaufoix and Flowerpot, which is problematic in that I hate my middle name and have spent the entire week trying to come up with better ones to foist off on my readers. But, even though I have no H in my name, I'm Honest, so... I guess I'll tell the truth. But I don't have to like it, do I? (Don't answer that).

My middle name is Sivana, which is a female take-off on my dad's family name, Sivani. (You see what I mean?? And you thought I was Exaggerating. Did you see an E in my name? I didn't think so).

For kicks and giggles, let's do it from my children's perspective, shall we?


S - Sarcastic. Yes, me. Hard to believe, I know, but true.

I - Intrusive. Why do I need to know how much homework they have every night? Hmm?

V - Vaguely embarrassing on a fairly regularly basis. There's no need for them to know it's deliberate.

A - Annoying. (Thank you. I try).

N - NO!! My favorite word, according to them.

A - Anti- violence Nazi, especially when it comes to video games and movies. So shoot me.

This just in : laurie jo tagged me for the same meme. Bam! Stick a fork in me baby - I'm done!

And on the Play It Forward front, I need addresses from Stacie, un peu loufoque and Kaycie. My email address is rottencorrespondent@gmail.com.

I feel the creative juices flowing. Okay, maybe not. But I'm working on it.

On a fairly ironic note, Sasquatch and I had a major blowout the night my first Anniversary post appeared. I was venting - at seven thirty the next morning - to my friend Laurie, mother of the Red Headed Step-Child, and (ahem) very infrequent commenter as pursegirl (no pressure though). Clearly she feels she humors me enough as it is. She had read the post, and of course had heard the story before, but after hearing all the gory blowout details, she summed it up pretty succinctly.

"Wow. Kind of makes you miss those comatose times, doesn't it?"

Bloody friends. Who needs 'em?
