And finally, an announcement

The shirt contest. You had some funny fill-ins for my blank. Some honest ones. Some bold imaginations. And here’s the final points tally:

Sarah - 19
Miss - 16
Mr. Lady - 23
Ashley - 18
Hockeyman - 18
Colleen - 13
A Whole Lot of Nothing - 17
Secret Agent Mama - 17
Red Food Colouring - 15
The Planet of Janet - 22
Vancityrockgirl - 18
Eve Grey - 17
Maria - 19

For those who are not finding the pattern automatically in the numbers - rent Pi; and hold off on your Mensa application (pattern recognition is a sign of high genius, I’m not just being a snarky bitch) - and celebrate Mr. Lady’s triumphant win. Sarah, Janet and Maria, I need your addresses too, for a consolation prize!

Thanks for playing, kids.

Speaking of playing…

A cautionary tale.

Please promise me that you will never see something wrong with your theme or blog platform and go, “Hey, you know what? I’m just going to reinstall Wordpress and then restore my shit and it will all work out wonderfully.”

Because, if you’re me, it won’t and your entire blog will disappear. All 207 posts, five pages, 23 categories, and 2011 comments. And you will stuck in a tiny, over-crowded apartment with a toddler who hasn’t napped and has attempted to live her last 24 hours solely on chocolate, candy and juice. And you might just lose your shit a little.

But then, say you were to ignore my advice, hopefully a knight in shining armour would be online and you could hand him whatever identity he needed, to wherever and BAM! He will have fixed it. Personally, I find that much more romantic than flowers. A man that can fix my blog.

Wait. I take that back. I’m going to declare myself an eFeminist. Ya, that’s it…

Probably just as moody:

  1. On Today’s Agenda… Yeah, no, I’m really not going to talk (again) about what I need to do. We’ll just leave it for...
  2. Free Facelifts! Oh what to blog, what to blog? I got approved for BlogHer Ads. You may think I’m a sell out...
  3. This is the post I write that makes you really uncomfortable. [Introductory unrelated guilt trip: So, you're too good to enter the contest? Lazy? Don't like the prize? It's okay. I...

    Dood. I thought I was so witty and creative. Guess the blog karma police didnt appreciate you not appreciating my comedic talent. Either that, or I have none. Yea… I’ll go with that.

    Misss last blog post..Just shut up already!

    *swoons* *drools* *bows down* (over the chocolate, candy and juice, of course)

    You’re one lucky biatch :)

    Just glad to see you’re back online! Anytime you need help, I’ll be there.

    Well thank you for the 13 points - I think you were being generous.

    Pattern shmattern. Its Monday, eeeeaaaarrrrly and I need more coffee. At this point in my day I’m just happy I can read.

    Huckdoll: I’m totally trying to steal your eBoyfriend away with candy, chocolate and juice. And technical problems. :P

  8. Zoeyjane on August 4th, 2008 7:49 am

    Xbox: I’m pretty sure he wasn’t helping me for any sort of ass, so regardless of straight status, he’d probably help you. Since he’s just THAT nice, it seems.

  9. Maria on August 4th, 2008 7:50 am

    I’m mad. I don’t want no consolation prize. Fucking Mr. Lady. FUCKING MR LADY!!!! GODDAMN YOU WOMAN!!!!

    Ok, now that I’m done whining about my horrible, horrible loss - I’m so glad you got your blog back!! Thank you Hockeyman!

    I’ll email you my address in a moment. Thanks. :)

    Colleen: So if you’d had coffee on a Tuesday afternoon, you’d be sending in your application? :P Ya, me too!

  11. Zoeyjane on August 4th, 2008 7:51 am

    Maria: I think a consolation prize is better. Like, not having the responsibility of handing off the shirt to someone else better. Plus it’s from me, personally, so you know it’ll be all cool and personal and shit.

  12. Natalie on August 4th, 2008 11:58 am

    So, did you notice this problem on Friday? Because I noticed (with IE) that some Wordpress pages weren’t opening (including mine). It’s since been fixed.

  13. VDog on August 4th, 2008 1:53 pm

    Ho-lee SNAP! broke da blawg!?!?!? Yikes!

    Glad it’s all better now!

    And WHEEE! Mr Lady gets the shirt!
