It's Day 3 of AvitaWeek 2008, counting down to my 31st birthday (which is on the 26th, but we'll be celebrating on Friday instead). As always, you are encouraged to send me cards and beaucoup gifts. You can even see what I like on my wishlists!
Before we kick off today's post, I wanted to give a shout out to a birthday girl today – the hot, eloquent, and saucy yet demure Nina! She discovered this blog during NaNoWhoKnew, and I found her blog to be awesome and hilarious and smart. In fact, she's one of my favorite new blogs. Take a quick trip and wish this smokin' hot English teacher a happy birthday. I'll wait here.
Okay, done? Let's move on.
As I've said, this week is supposed to be all about Avitable. My ego is so huge that it has its own zip code, but it can always get bigger. Today, instead of coming up with something about myself (especially after yesterday's intimate look), I've decided that it's your turn!
Another one of my favorite new bloggers, Dan (who I gave a lashing to when I reviewed his blog last year), had a great idea about gathering testimonials about himself from readers that would subsequently be posted in his "About" section. Some were tongue-in-cheek, some were straightforward, but it was pretty fun.
On Dan's post, he says:
Seeing as though the comments on this blog are usually far more entertaining than the actual posts I thought that approach might work here too. I must point out that I’m not fishing for compliments; insults, name calling and general slander are encouraged too. You can write anything you want and I’ll publish it verbatim (within reason).
For me, of course, it's the opposite. My posts are far more entertaining than any of your comments, but here's your chance to finally have a comment that outshines the general awesomeness of my post! I'm also not fishing for compliments – I'll take anything I can get.
So, whether you're one of my top commenters, my mother, a lurker, or someone in between, let's hear it.
UPDATE:
I hate to say that I have completely neglected another of my favorite bloggers, the redheaded menace with a spoon, Tracy! She turns 40 today and needs all types of good birthday wishes. So head over there and wish her a happy birthday too!
