Five Star Friday's Edition #65

Rule one of reading other people's stories is that whenever you say 'well that's not convincing' the author tells you that's the bit that wasn't made up. This is because real life is under no obligation to be convincing.

   — Neil Gaiman

    I am new to blogging but I can follow instructions. Per your request that I "not forget to pimp out [my] own writing in the comments," I will say that my mother would DIE at the thought of strangers reading about her. So thanks for helping me embarrass her, every little bit counts.

    Also, thanks for collecting other people's (much better) writing. It is has been fun to read.

    Blogger BabyonBored on August 7, 2009 1:33 PM  

    Thank you, thank you so much! Gosh, there are so many people to thank for this award. Let me start with my readers for knowing a funny word like Clit when they read it. I'd like to thank my twins for insisting on watching four hours of Sesame Street a day and I would like to thank candy for giving me the altered state of mind to come up with the crazy. Let's make this a regular thing!

    Blogger Overflowing Brain on August 7, 2009 1:53 PM  

    I'm totally humbled. Thanks.

    Blogger Karl on August 7, 2009 2:10 PM
