I don’t generally win things. Unless it involves sports (on courts, fields, or Playstation 3 consoles).
This isn’t a plea for pity. It’s a character trait.
So when I stopped by one of my new wholehearted-interests, Perfectly Cursed Life, and found my blog’s name tagged as an Honest Scrap Award recipient –
– I did a dance I didn’t capture on video.
The rules: I have to tell you ten honest things – ten facts you could find in an encyclopedia* – about myself in writing and then tag “ten” people to pass it on. The posts have been kinda long this week. So, I’m gonna keep this basic.
1. Before law school, the longest I let my hair grow was about 2.5 years. It was awesomely curly. Right now, I’m at about 3 months and counting.
2. I often fill boring moments at home by singing the theme song for “Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers.”
3. I have this thing about being clean: it’s better than being filthy. This rule applies to house and body.
4. I own 3 guitars. I want 7 more.
5. I’m watching Top Chef, this very moment. Andrew from Season 4 just told season 5 that he’d be “peeing on [their] bodies.” I am admitting I found a way to enjoy this line. Fact.
6. I finally got the balls to sing + play in front of a group of people on a beach in Cape Cod a couple years ago. But I found the confidence after opening a bottle of bourbon. So, uh, yeah. Forgot. My. Own. Words.
7. I think Don Cheadle is woefully underrated.
8. Despite #7, I still don’t understand Don replacing a willing and able Terrence Howard in the upcoming Iron Man sequel.
9. There is video of me doing a lip-synced performance of Lenny William’s “Cause I Love You” in front of a couple hundred people at GW’s Soul Revue in 2004.
10. I miss having a dog.
I’m only gonna pick five winners since I think you all read each other’s blogs anyway. But here goes:
—
*Already, breaking the rules.
Love it…I have a thing about being clean but it doesn’t quite translate into being ‘neat’.
So uhhhhhhh…when can we see #9? LOL
Since you love guitars, let me share this custom guitar that my friend’s dad has on his display at his house:

We’ve naturally dubbed it the “Penis Guitar”
PS: Your
Naturally. That guitar was asking for it.
Er…not sure why my comment posted before I was finished but the PS is that I answered your q’s today
I just saw them. Thanks for taking the time to do it all over again.
Yes, but who are the five winners?
I’ll see what I can do.
No, really. It’s you! (I needed a dose of convincing myself).
Seriously, I love awards. Thanks for the honor.
Very, very welcome.
aww shucks….
Any pictures of you with that crazy curly hair floating around? Any chance of us seeing it?
Pictures? I… I… know not of what you speak.
I know what there is photographic evidence of: the Fro-hawk. Which was awesome.
That there is. That even became a Facebook profile pic.
I love the Rescue Rangers theme song. Sometimes I sing the Gummi Bears one (in my head at work) when I’m bored.
“Gummi Bears…. bouncing here and there and everywhere. High adventure that’s beyond compare…”
I wish I had stuck w/the guitar… but that thing was too bulky for me so now I’m waiting to purchase one with a smaller frame and just go at it, sans lessons. I hate lessons.
Oooh.. and Miss Bianca has a pretty name!!
I haven’t gone the lessons route yet. I’ve been so focused on the writing part. But I’m finally ready to commit.
And I do give pretty awesome nicknames.
“7. I think Don Cheadle is woefully underrated.”
Second! He kicks ass. Anything he’s in is good.
Last thing with him I saw was “Reign On Me.” Don’t remember much, other than that he was in it.
Thank you kindly, sir! I shall do my best.
In addition to the Chip and Dale, I also regularly hum them to Doug and Duck Tales.
Doug! Wow. Flashbacks of Patti and Skeeter…
Ch-ch-ch-chip and Dale

Music to my ears.
