Fucking Tagged

Thursday, December 14, 2006

Regular reader, poster and masturbator (I'm only playing the odds on that last one. I have no actual first-ahem-hand knowledge of anything specifically), Sideon "tagged" me over on his blog. In case you aren't familiar with tagging, allow me to explain.

Basically, tagging is like a chain letter... only worse. Worse because not only are you expected to forward the tag onto others or your toenails will fall off or something, but you also have to do something too. In this case, name six weird things about myself.

Pff... only six? Have you been reading my blog long?

My first instinct is to ignore the tag. Not because I don't like Sideon. Quite the contrary. I love my readers and I love people who link to me even more. I love you all so much that I deliberate and think about the content of my posts. I shudder at the idea of my posts becoming nothing more than another note passed around a seventh-grade homeroom class.

Rather than tell Sideon to piss up a rope, which I would be completely justified in doing, I decided to go one-up on the whole tag thing and fulfill my obligation to post when tagged but I will do so in a way that meets my requirement for depth of content.

Starting tomorrow I will post ONE weird thing about myself in the form of an actual full-length post, each day for the next SIX. Plus, each day I will tag ONE other blogger with a challenge to post about a topic of my choosing. This keeps the whole tagging thing from becoming a puss out where you just make a list and call it a post instead of writing an actual post that day. It also keeps me from propagating the silliness and, I hope, presents a challenge for me and a few other people.

See you tomorrow. Same bat time, same bat channel.

Damn, he tagged me too!

I love Sideon to death, so I'll let him boss me around. But I think I might steal your idea. I dunno. Thinking....

grand idea

Tagging sucks, especially fag tag, but that's not relevant in this case unless you're looking at who specifically tagged you. You're a brave man, taking the tag in the first place. Thank you for not telling me to piss up a rope.

I think your idea is grand. Instead of cherry-picking little bits from our lives in these lists, you've upped the ante and made the subject more challenging, more demanding - kind of like Truth or Dare, except the clothes stay on.

Did I mention lately that your Guh-lossary post is still my all-time favorite? I'm still gushing about it weeks after the fact.

Hello!

Thanks for the welcome on my blog. You know what's really weird? I didn't recognize your name, but I just realized that you are one of the primary reasons I got interested in blogging in the first place.

You see, my hot mama, Lemon Blossom, in her quest to finally research the church, was reading blogs before I was. She read to me a lot of the posts from your blog, and so, without knowing the name or actually looking, I became interested in your story and in your journey with your wife. Among all the blogs she read to me back then, yours is the one she read to me the most. As I got more interested, I started warming up to the idea of doing something similar and reading and writing more myself.

Anyway, great to actually get to know you explicitly now! I get a kick out of your blog and the Most High Guh-gina, and am with you in your struggle to open your wife's eyes -- LB and I have gone through five years of struggle with the church thing before we finally got to this point.

Anyway, nicetameetcha! Based on what I've read, I imagine this is going to be quite a list.

It flatters me.

It flatters me that anyone actually even reads this thing, let alone enjoys it. To have inspired others to write about their experiences is overwhelming, really.
Thanks.

I'll second or third that...

I agree on the GUH-gyna post. One of the best I've ever read. Ever.

  • I've said it before. I'll say it again. I wish this was my dog.

    Or is it wish it were? I always get mixed up on the subjunctive case.
