Honest Scrap Award

Tag, I’m it! The gorgeous Kyle at Butchtastic has named me, along with 9 others, Honest Scrap. I don’t know what prompted it … but maybe the posts full of entirely too much information? In any event, thank you, darling Kyle.

There are three rules for this award:

First, link back to the person who gave you the award: See above for a link to Kyle.

Next, give the award to 10 other bloggers:

  1. My best friend, Diana even though she hasn’t written for awhile. Diana is direct, funny, warm and kind. An unusual combination.
  2. Tina-cious for always giving me something to think about and for being able to publicly admit when she thinks she’s wrong.
  3. Can I Help You Sir? for a view of butch and gender even femmes don’t always get to hear.
  4. Dyked Out for an always interesting read – and for being a bigger slut (back in the day) than I was!
  5. 8th Day Planner for being one of the few lesbian blogs I read that talks about God in an honest and unapologetic way.
  6. Queer Eye Candy for showing the world what we honestly look like.
  7. Jack at 97% Queer because when he writes something, it’s worth reading.
  8. Boi Wonder for giving me another perspective of gender identity.
  9. Existere even though I think she won’t be able to do this for awhile. She’s a brand-new (only a week) lesbian mom of twins. American married to a Brit and living in London. Gives more TMI than even I do.
  10. Justin Justin knows why I love him despite the fact that we have never once met in person.

Finally: 10 Honest Things About Me

  1. There are days when I think that the reason I am so free with personal information has less to do with the fact that I used to be a sex educator or that I worked at an HIV/AIDS organization than to do with the fact that if I tell you outrageous stuff you might not notice I haven’t told you anything *real.*
  2. This isn’t exactly a secret, but I really, really, really (to an infinite power) miss my boys. Not one single day goes by that my heart doesn’t hurt.
  3. I still have trouble calling myself a Christian, even though it’s true. I hate the image that brings to people’s minds. The so-called Christians who think I am like them and the queers who think I am like those Christians.
  4. I’m apparently feeling emotional today.
  5. I am a reality TV junkie. I can’t wait for The Biggest Loser and Dancing with the Stars.
  6. I have a total crush on someone around whom I act like a completely inarticulate moron. It’s not a lover-crush, it’s more of a “oh, aren’t you so cool, won’t you be my friend” sort of crush.
  7. I think people who make any sort of dessert and call it “Better Than Sex[fill in the blank]” are not having sex with the right people.
  8. Femme I am, darlings, but I am *not* a pillow princess. There are things I *love* about being a lesbian that involve direct participation!
  9. I love to have furniture that someone else used to have. People I love, I mean. I have a few things that I’ve swiped from friends and family members. It makes my apartment feel good.
  10. I may never be grown up enough to buy a house on my own. I *freak* at house-issues. Like the tree that fell on our house and damaged the roof and the foundation. Freaked out.
