Unbearably HoT

I’m afraid that it’s gotten pretty quiet around the blogosphere. Winter ennui is ebbing, and for most, work and personal life has kicked into overdrive. Tell me about it! I haven’t managed to pop out a kid like some of those other crazy people, but I have been working (days and) nights and weekends while simultaneously looking for a house and planning a wedding. I’m also raiding regularly again, which has been particularly refreshing.

But while I’m working on The Next Big Thing (aka some half-way informational post that I will inevitably revise to death), enjoy a brief glimpse into my personal life, courtesy of Cathmor (Josh) from Eye for an Eye. He thinks that my blog is worthy of some Craptastic award, and while I think he only tagged me because there weren’t any bloggers left (and because clearly, he totally wants to know All About Me), I’ll graciously accept for the moment and send him some high fives later. 

1. When accepting this auspicious award, your 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 he/she 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!

As many of you know, I normally don’t talk about myself. I endeavor to provide useful and moderately entertaining information for the discerning Druid audience—with a few exceptions. This is essentially that awful Facebook meme that was spreading virally a few months ago—except that presumably, if you’re crazy enough to read this on a regular basis, you might actually be curious. Besides, it’s not like finding out your Aunt Marge got it on with her piano teacher when she was 17 or that your ex-girlfriend’s best friend had a crush on your brother.

1. In college, I sailed competitively on a team that was ranked tenth in the nation. I haven’t been on a non-motorized boat since, nor do I have a nautical themed pashmina afghan.
2. Lycentia’s tanking is so awesome that it’s practically a turn on. I’d dyke it out for Lycentia’s Warrior IRL. His Rogue isn’t quite sinister enough.
3. I like brutal honesty, in game and out. I am that dick who will tell the slacker in the pickup group that they blow at WoW and should waste their time somewhere else. Constructive criticism is absolutely necessary to improve.
4. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I have dressed up as a ninja, a Jedi Knight, a Heian era Japanese courtesan, and a Hogwarts student in public (if parties count). If I had the time, I’d totally make something WoW or Battlestar Galactica related.
5. I have my advanced open water diver certification and have traveled the world to see various ocean wonders. I haven’t pursued my technical certification because it puts you on a list that can be used locally to recover stuff underwater. Like bodies. 
6. I am a fucking awesome cook. Especially when I’m only wearing an apron.
7. I love music. I play or have played the piano, trumpet, and guitar for a long time, and I was a drum major back in high school (read: that winner in the cape that directed the marching band). In college, I actually got my nose broken in a mosh pit at a Reel Big Fish/Rancid show.
8. I almost became a marine biologist. Although I ended up writing for a living, my personal work is still strongly colored by the language and experience of science.
9. I love the pussy. In fact, I’ve got two cats at home: Boomer and Luciren.
10. There are actually Runy bikini pics lurking on the Internet somewhere. It’s amazing what a margarita night will do for you.

That’s about it. Most of the blogs that I think are particularly jawesome have already participated or have been tagged in this sideshow escapade, but here are a few I’d like to see:

·         Kalon. It’s not a crush, I swear.

·         Karthis. I’m running down my Druid hit-list, here.

·         Graylo. Because boomkin are funny.

·         Megan.  I think this is self-explanatory.

·         Windpaw.

Edit: I’ve also apparently been tagged by Vonya, at Egotistical Priest. This shit is off the hook.
