*Due to some arse I so nicely nominated, whom I am not going to link because it’s my Blog and prerogative and you’re just reading it, having to correct all my mistakes instead of simply and creatively answering the questions I presented I am editing this so it’s better fit to YOUR reading pleasure. You may thank me in the comments section if you’re of the gracious type.
So this person who knew my Blog all of 5 minutes maybe took it upon himself to award ME. Yes, you read correct. Me, Combat Babe. With the Liebster award before I had chance to post an article on how not to honor me with awards. I concede this time because how can you be so rude not to accept an award? Also, before I go on; what do you fine readers have to say for yourselves? Thou shalt bow down to my greatness. Or not. Completely your choice.
Just because it’s for those with under 200 followers and Adrian bestowed it on me for the pure reason he needed 11 nominees does not mean I lack any greatness. I am fantabulous. And purely an acquired taste.
1. Scone (S gone) or Scone? (Sc own)
There is an ‘e’ at the end of it so I pronounce it Sc(own). I may have heard it pronounced Sc(on) before, but with the exception of ‘gone’ anything with a vowel at the end of it, especially ‘e’ makes the previous vowel a long one. I may be explaining this all wrong so hopefully my English and Writing teachers don’t come across this Blog.
2. What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done?
All that’s coming to mind are stupid things I have done. Getting my cherry popped was kind of adventurous. I mean it was to the WHOLE Orgy album; how many people can say they did that? I’m totally one in a million on that. (sorry, my family, I went there)
3. You’re stranded on a desert island which, funnily enough, has a portable music player on it. What are your five albums of choice?
I don’t know Albums by name really. I’m terrible, I know. Fiona Apple ‘When the pawn…‘, The Cranberries ‘Everybody Else is Doing it, Why Can’t We’ & ‘No Need to Argue‘, A Perfect Circle (Self Titled), Orgy ‘CandyAss‘ (oh the memories)
4. Who is your favourite celebrity?
Gwen Stefani because she rocks and doesn’t look her age and has been like a Madonna in the fact that she is making her career last.
5. What do you consider to be your biggest flaw?
Not putting forth any effort due to fear of failing or fear of succeeding. Catch 22.
6. If you regret doing one thing, what would it be?
Spending my non-academic loans on my college boyfriend.Paying the monthly payment is a lovely reminder.
7. We all have one – what is your hidden talent?
Hidden talent? That’s devious. I’m not going there.
8. What is your guiltiest of guilty pleasures?
Currently: Tea and Biscotti.
9. What would you say is the world’s coolest job occupation?
Being a Blogger. I admire Dooce and TheBloggess.
10. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
This may not count: The ability to lack fear when I needed to.
11. James Bond or Harry Potter?
I’m opting out of this question. I am not attached to either one. Bond was cool when played by Mr. Sean Connery. Man do I love that man. His accent does it for me.
The Q’s of a Lifetime (movie — poorly scripted):
1. What was your most embarrassing moment as a child? (He says it should be which was. To me that would be asking to pick between your most embarrassing moments and lacks sense. What is asking the actual event in which he failed to answer truthfully.)
2. When your bubble’s invaded by an intruder (read: a stranger), how do you react?
3. If you were a musician, what genre of music would you want to be known for?
4. Would you tell the Goblin King he had no* power over you or would you agree to let him be your slave? (If you haven’t watched The Labyrinth, you should. You may understand the question a little better.)
5. Which century would you have liked to live in* and why?
6. Vampires or Werewolves? Elaborate. (Elaborate — to explain why you’d choose one over the other. It doesn’t matter if they’re real or not using that as an excuse to not answer lacks wit and creativity. You disappoint.)
7. If you weren’t/aren’t a parent and there ever is some Apocalypse, would you want to survive it? (Replace apocalypse with epic war, it makes sense. Therefore apocalypse makes sense whether I say ‘some kind’. This may not be true in Writing 101, but again this is my Blog, my rules.)
8. What is Meatloaf not willing to do for love?
9. What does your dream life look like?
10. Out of everything that makes you you, what do you think does it the most?
11. You have to make up 11 questions for 11 different people, is that hard for you?
Damn! I would rock being an interviewer. I don’t know why I’ve never answered my true calling. Drum roll, please.
The nominees are:
1. Jet
2. Panda
3. HOoS
4. Amanda Rae
That’s all I got. I know, you’re disappointed. I’m sorry. If you have less than 200 and I missed you, think of it as a blessing. I still love you, hell, I am following you, amirite?!!
For the chosen, you need do nothing with it if you want. I won’t take offense. I must get coffee now.
*So there you have it. You’re fuckin’ welcome. This is my thanks to your reading because that IS all I care about. Suck it, Panda. Now who’s outed?
Congrats – Kinda feels nice doesn’t it. But in case your ego starts rearing up My thoughts on Awards
Your points hit everything I would have put in my anti-award post — congrats. Blame Adrian, and I am not talking Rocky’s wife. Also my ego is always “rearing up”, who needs flaccidity?
Panda doesn’t even know the meaning of flaccid!
I blame no-one, secretly you loved getting the award, but the awards focus on ‘me me me’ is a light on ‘you you you’ that you don’t want somehow – even though you do.
Oh, hang on – that’s me… he he
BAHAHAHAHAH you are mixing up comments between here and there. Flaccid means a thing lacks firmness. Now just add ‘ity’ and you should get the jist.
PS. I had to look up vacuous. We are even. & Panda, don’t refer to yourself as Panda! It only makes me love you little less as that is Le Clown’s thing that drives me crazy and why I said Le Clown’s name so much in his post to him from me. xoxo extra credit: tell me how many times I said Le Clown’s name in Fuel Fire & Desire.
Hey – I know the meaning of flaccid – you it appears struggle with irony and sarcasm!
– I’m just loving the slow revelation of what that post was about.
I’ll drop the Panda thing – it’s new, I’m experimenting.
I don’t care how many times you said Le Clown, and not playing that game should earn me the credits
NO! You do. I it don’t appear to struggle with irony OR sarcasm. Think of what you know about me and read it again.
Panda is overrated anyway.
I just wanted to know how many times I said it without having to count it myself. You suck at life.
What revelation is prevailing?
All revelation prevails – or it wouldn’t be revelation, but I’m fluffed if I know where that question came from.
You’re very immediate aren’t you. What I know of you is a hatful of comments today. While I’m loving the banter (and growing respect for you as I read further into your blog) – I don’t really know you yet. Let’s be gentle with the newness
Cop out. But I digress. As you wish.
I mixed it up. My baaaaad. Eating crow now.
I have nixed feelings. On the one hand, you accepted this award with sarcasm and rudeness.
On the other hand, the awards are like chain letters. I think WordPress hands them out to keep the smartest people on the planet… us bloggers… busy so we don’t take over the world. Also, my computer is old and doesn’t like links… and I have no place on my theme to put awards. Also, I write about myself all the time, so how can I keep coming up with new stuff about me when I get an award?
So… ummmm… simmer down… or you go girl, depending on which hand I decide to go with.
You’re just jealous and lack the ability to see how drenched this is with self depreciation. My MacBook screen is cracked so I only get a little of 1/4 of the screen to use and I prefer PC.
Hands down, I win!
I just noticed that I said nixed feeling instaed of mixed feelings, so you win again… sigh…
I forgive you as n & m are buddies on the QWERTY keyboard.
They pretend they are, but I see the looks they give eachother when they think I am not looking.
Me, I liked nixed feelings – isn’t ‘nix’ an Americanism for ‘jinx’ or ‘zero’ or something? Anyway, maybe you stumbled into a good neologism. Don’t miss the creativity just because it was an accident
nix – to veto; refuse to agree to; prohibit.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
Cool – nixed feelings. It felt right when I read it. Two feelings that cancel each other out… nice
I make up my own language as I go… I call it ‘Isuckatspelling’
Yay for you! It’s nice to be awarded something, even if you don’t particularly like being awarded. I was nominated for homecoming and prom court a few times and I hated it, but I went to the events because it would’ve been rude not to. I won Student of the Month in February, kinda made me think twice about accepting. I won Biggest Mouth and Class Clown in high school as well, but hell, people thought of me! I think that’s the main thing, right? The thought that goes behind the award, no matter what it really means. I’m happy for you
And I love that you feel the same way I do about Sean Connery; he is such a sexy beast!
My first reply didn’t go through for some reason. You are my first nominee even if you’ve received it before or have more than 200 followers. You rock. ‘Nuff said.
You are too sweet! Thank you so much
I haven’t received it or been nominated for a blog award before, I don’t have 200 followers yet either.
I am honored!
Reblogged this on The Harbinger Owl of Syn.
This made my turkey day morning
. It was classic and utterly epic in its own percussiveness. Thank you for changing my view of that Orgy album forever! Great choices… Blessed Be.
H.O.o.S.
Yes, I reblogged and tweeted too. It had to be shared. Damn me as a nominee.
You chose to bow down to my greatness and in an utterly unique fashion. BOOM! You’re damned. Congrats, I’ll be updating the post soon with my list of questions and nominees.
Look at you all fancy!
You bet your boots I’m participating. Duh.
*fanny pinch*
You’re the tits! I can’t wait to see your answers to my very generic questions I took such time on pre-coffee. Seriously. I got stuck a 5, 7, 9, 10, 11. My brain hurts.
Thank-you combat babe, for giving me yet another reason to not study today… On another note… I have yet to receive my diving (or not so divine) inspiration for writing today. Also, I agree with you on the Scone… there is no other way. However, some people in my neck of the woods seem to think there is an invisible “c” at the end of the word and pronounce it: “sconce” (short O, -se). Drives me nuts.
Hahahah sconce is a thing that hangs on a wall with or without candles. That’s awesome. Silly people. & you are most welcome as you are very delightful.
Reblogged this on Amandaraesavestheday.
I think you deserve the award.
You’re awesome and uniquely you.
Aregeregegeeerregeer. That roughly translates to thank you for the nomination.
