I got an award! \o/

I’ve never had a blog long enough to get an award. ALRIGHT!

My pal over at One Nerve Left gave me an award yesterday.

I’m so proud! Thanks Lizz!

In exchange for this FABULOUS award, I am supposed to award five blogs, and name five addictions. Holy……okay.

1. My Blackberry. Like Lizz, I love and adore this lil thing. I love it so much I sleep with it. Before I even have a second eye open, I check the Blackberry. First email is always my bank balance. Second email is…….whatever else comes overnight– emails from friends, blog comments, what have you.  I have several email accounts and they all roll to my Berry. I have the BlackBerry Flip. FREAKING LOVE IT. Then I check Twitter, because I like to see what the Gremlins do at night when I go  to bed. I also have several Twitter accounts. I may need help….

2. The Internet. You know how when you have Internet, you can take it or leave it, but then it goes out and suddenly you have 83 things you could be looking up RIGHT NOW if you had Internet? That’s how I am. That’s how everyone is, I guess. I just can’t stand to not have internet access. I have it on my phone and if I can get wifi on my iTouch. Speaking of….

3. My iPod Touch. This thing… is so much better than my old iPod. You get all the bells and the whistles of an iPhone but with more music storage and APPS APPS APPS. There’s an app for EVERY LIVING THING, I swear. I haven’t loaded mine up with a bunch of games because I’m not much of a gamer, but I do have solitare and Tetris and I play those a lot. My fave application is the Kindle App from Amazon. Just………… LOVE IT. I mean I also have eReader and Stanza, but I usually just use the Kindle. I zoom right through books on that thing and it’s nice to be able to drag my whole reading list with me everywhere I go. When I get to work, I put the phone on vibrate and plug the IPod into my speakers and rock out.

4. WordPress plugins. Seriously. I’m trying not to add too much, and most of what I add is fuctional for me and invisible to readers but I’ve stayed up, like, way too late reading through plug in lists and recommendations and surfing blogs to see who has cool stuff so I can look it up and see if I need to get that, too!! I… I have a problem, and it’s Plug in addiction.

5. So many things I could list here, for #5… food, sleep, more sleep. I think I will say, though, BOOKS. I’ve been getting back into reading this year and it’s been a sheer joy. It’s an escape into a world that I feel like is created just for me and in that span of time that I get lost in that world, all my real life problems go away. They don’t exist, they don’t fester and back up and bug me– they’re gone. I love that, I crave that, I need that, I’m addicted to that.

So there’s my hot five list of addictions. And now who to nominate… Hmmm. I am new to the blog0sphere, but I’ll nom some  that I love to read:

Becky Writes

Write Meg

Blissville USA

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

Butterfly Confidential

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Change is good, right?

Lately, I can’t handle Firefox. I mean, I love the browser. I pretty much live in Firefox and if I have to use a site that only uses IE, I throw myself on the ground and scream and kick and cry. Seriously. You should see them stare at work.

So lately I can’t get it to work!  It’s crashing on me just about hourly and I get NO information as to WHY. I’ll just be typing or surfing and POP! goes my browser. And it’s very annoying! I’m doing serious work here! Okay not really, playing with plug-ins for WordPress but still.

So I’m trying out Chrome. Again. I’m remembering when it first came out that it used to freeze up on me a lot and there is no google toolbar which–HI, google. Miss M here. Why do you not have your most popular add-on available for your browser? I don’t fully understand!

Anyway. I miss twitterfox and the google toolbar already, but I did find twitlet and some weird way to create a bookmark that will let you do a google search. For that matter, could I not just bring up www.google.com? No, no. Links, shawty. Links!

It’s sort of not the same. *sigh*

But “The Bourne Identity” is on. \o/
