I Humbly Agree that I am Awesome

So apparently there’s an award of sorts going around the blogosphere lately wherein the person awarded picks out some blogs they consider fine reading and perpetuate the award onto them.  Both Kagrra from the Druid Team and Kestrel from Kestrel’s Aerie were kind enough to lie about me and make it sound like I know what I’m doing.  So I shall not dissapoint and accept this auspicious award!

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant... in bed”

Now in order to accept this award, there are a few catches, which are as follows: 

1. When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it (done), including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real (double done).
2. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!

So first we’ll cover the ten interesting things about me, so here we go with Fun Dueg Facts!

1. My mother was a catholic nun in the late sixties and early seventies.
2. I have three first names (Christopher Allen Kyle).
3. I’m not American, I’m Texan.
4. Even though I was born in Florida (moved to TX when I was 1).
5. I met my fiance at my brother’s wedding and moved to Long Island for her.
6. I can move my eyes independently of each other, my ears too.
7. I grew up a twenty minute drive from Mexico and South Padre Island.
8. I play electric guitar and bass, both quite badly.
9. I am a beard enthusiast.
10. My last meal would be a Whataburger w/chee and an ice cold Shiner Bock to drink.

So now I must give out this award to seven other bloggers.  So the roll call for this will be:

1. Khaeli of Shadow Weaving.
2. The Suicidal Priest.
3. The Pugnacious Priest.
4. Daria from Pixels – A Gaming Blog.
5. BobTurkey, Gobble Gobble.
6. Myssidia of A Casual Encounter.
7. And the only non priest to make this roll: Kaleyen of Hungering Cold (maybe now he’ll stop waving his twighlight drake in my face, but somehow I doubt it).

So there ya go, keep in mind that this list were just the first seven that came to mind and if I truly put down everyone I was curious about, it would go much much further.  Plus some of my other friends were already tagged so I went ahead and left them off.  If you’re someone who reads my posts regularly though, consider yourself awarded and feel free to make a post regarding this.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go wait by the mailbox for my prize money which is obviously on the way.

In Six Words

A meme, a meme, my blogdom for a meme!  Oh, here’s one.  Apparently there’s a new sort of challenge going around where people try to describe stories from the game in six words.  So, I’m gonna go ahead and try my hand at this, here we go:

Should I log?  Maybe another hour…

DK picking flowers.  Just feels right

Roping Anea while twirling my ‘stache

Life gives you lemons, play WoW

Thrall is my master.  Ironic, no?

For the Horde, but mainly loot.

No ghetto hearth?  QQ more newb.

Angry fiance says, “Up all night!?”

Read strats.  Know fight.  Don’t die.

Douche on vent, turn volume down!

There we go, I think 60 words is just fine.  Anyone who wants to add anymore, go for it in the comments.

The InterDueg

So Anea of Holy Discipline has tagged me for the latest meme.  No, her site doesn’t specifically say it, but trust me, she “tweeted” me.  Although I have decided the term “tweet” is too lame, and have taken to calling it “punched Mike Tyson.”  So, Anea punched Mike Tysoned me for the most recent meme earlier today.  

Basically, the idea is that you answer seven questions that were originated by Harii over at Ctrl-Alt-Elite.  You’re also supposed to do it from the viewpoint of your character.  I haven’t done any rp with Dueg and it’s been a while since I’ve done it online, but let me dust off the ol’ cap, scribble down a character background and we’ll see what happens.  So, without further ado, I give you The Seven Questions:

What is your name and where did it come from?  You may refer to me as Duegathalas, it is the hybrid bastardization of the individual who saved my mother’s life while she was giving birth to me and my father’s, who died during that unfortunate incident.

How old are you and what is your birthday?  I am still a youngling by my race’s standards, only 178 years old.

Are you in love and with whom?  *smirks* Emotions such as that are better left to the lesser races, they seem to enjoy those sort of weakening entanglements.  No, when the time comes, I will find a proper partner and procreate.  Until then, my devotion to the light will sustain.

What is your favorite mount and why?  I prefer the undead warhorse provided to me by the citizens of the Undercity.  His… “condition” ensures that in times of great stress he will not lose his nerve and upkeep is somewhat less then a still breathing one.

Do you a certain type of Azerothian meal and where do you get it from?  I prefer Dalaran Clam Chowder were I to have a choice.  The spices they use help to fortify my constitution greatly.  I usually purchase it from a random seller in the Royal Exchange quarter of Silvermoon.

You know those giant mushrooms in Zangarmarsh? What is your theory on how they came to be and why are they so huge?  What is the old expression?  Everything is bigger in Zangarmarsh?  I suppose evolution has made that fact.

If you saw the Lich King walking toward you, what would you do?  *snorts* The fallen prince is surely smarter than that.

So there you have it, consider yourself Duegified.  Now, I’m supposed to challenge people as well, so, if they have not already been, I will once more force Amber, Jinxie and Esdras to do my bidding and to that list I will add Jov and Seri from Snarkcraft, Khaeli from Shadow Weaving, and the newest kid on the priest block, Tart.  Everyone, get to work, or as they say in Silvermoon*: GO GO GO!!!
