Siha at Banana Shoulders was exceedingly kind enough to name me as one of the seven bloggers she wanted to pass the Honest Scrap blog award on to. I’m touched, and I refuse to mar such an auspicious event by taking to long at the podium to deliver my thank you spee–and I ramble.

I’m informed there are rules aside from collecting the generous prize mone–oh right, no money. Hrm.

1. When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real.
2. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!

Here are the next victims as this meme-award spreads:

• A Touch of Arcane, where Dreaming has been writing very interesting posts about what’s going on in the PTR.
• Honor’s Code, a prot pally blog that I read avidly and first inspired me to start my own tankadin corner.
• Valor… Paladin… Palordin? a great tankadin blog run by Aureilie, who I wished would post more often.
• Pink Raid Frames, and each Pally there will share it I suppose, but Doxa gets to keep it on his mantle at home.
• Sacred Duty, run by Galyan, who had the dubious honor of making it so I’m not the newest tankadin blog on the ‘nets!
• Paladin Smash! another great new prot pally blog that I enjoy reading.
• Hardcore Casual who has great posts both on and off topic for WoW.

Lastly, the half version of that Facebook meme I managed to avoid for so long. Bah.

1. I’m a deeply skeptical person, to the extent that I don’t believe in just about anything. For example, I don’t believe in jinxes, luck, ghosts, etc. Likewise I’m also an atheist (last time I’ll ever mention that on that blog). Sometimes I feel like I’m missing out on little joys in life, but then there are other times I’m comforted by knowing I have as much control over my fate as chance will give me.
2. My parents have a dog that they got from a rescue program and for some reason the stupid thing hates me. Whenever I go to visit she’ll greet me with growls and barks… which she does to nothing else, not even strangers. In response I’ve started giving her treats when she calms down to, you know, buy her love. As a result, once she’s calmed down from “greeting me,” whenever I turn around she sneaks up and sniffs my legs. I think she assumes I keep food in my pockets.
3. Stupidest thing I ever did: while in college I was late to get to the train station down the street from my house. Rather than miss the train and be late for an exam I rolled under the train while it was stopped on the platform. The conductor saw me and kicked me off. Obviously, I missed my exam anyway.
4. I had a Zune once, which I enjoyed only for the counter-cultural aspect of it. I have an iPod Touch now which I can’t ever put down.
5. My dream job is to be a special agent at the FBI.
6. In college I used to stay up until 3 o’clock in the morning to watch M*A*S*H reruns. I regret nothing.
7. I live 10 minutes outside of Boston and yet I have a very weak to nonexistent Boston accent. This distresses me greatly as you’d imagine. There’s a guy in my guild from Providence, RI and he has the worst Boston accent ever. I don’t know how. I envy him.
8. When my dad was teaching me how to drive I accidentally accelerated and drove his truck into a snowbank (which we found out a few months later nuked the air conditioning). He refuses to this day to let me drive a car he’s in.
9. I sing along to the radio a lot while driving. I put my hand in front of my mouth while doing so because I’m embarrassed that another driver might see me.
10. I eat croutons as a snack.

Phew! Done.
