Lill: Despite all of Jillian’s *sighing*, the blogosphere continues to show us the love – I suspect this is due to the enthusiasm I project in embracing the world around me.
Jill: *Rolls eyes* Oh yeah, an award-winning Miss Congeniality…
Lill: Hmph, well I am award-winning.
Jill: Yes Lillian, and we both want to give thanks and shout outs to the lovelies that have nominated us for three new awards.
Lill: Our favourite Raving Mad Scientists, Annie and Nikki, have graciously nominated us for the Versatile Blogger Award. They’re clever and quick (no surprise in being smarties) and are now our go-to place for entertainment reviews. Cheers ladies – if ever we require a clinical pathologist you’ll be our first call
Jill: We also need to post a plus-sized thank you to Cakes McCain and her Pasta For One – a saucy bella braving the dating world in the land of pasta, pervs and blue Fiats. We humbly thank Cakes for nominating us for the T.M.I. Blog Award (we think it was the turtle poop that got this one), and the Creative Chaos Award. The former is an award honouring those blogs that discuss everything in detail and do it well. These bloggers aren’t afraid to discuss their most awkward, embarrassing and intimate experiences with honesty, humor and little to no filter. It was designed by Lauren at Viciously Sweet and Teri at The Narcissists Blog. The latter is an award for those who think outside the norm, the designer from I’m not just weird. Good lord that was a mouthful…
Lill: Moving on! The requirements for all three, though varied, do share a few similarities – mostly around describing quirks, quarks and embarrassing moments and habits the outside world is not yet privy to. We’ve done our best to answer everything asked below. For the official what’s-what check out the links we’ve embedded on each.
Share 3 things you may not know about us:
1. We live in the land of bagged milk, Beaver Tails (an actual dessert) and Shania Twain and suggest trying all three together.
2. Lill owns a skateboard but rarely skates, and Jill has a violin but never plays.
3. Lillian coded a computer game about mushroom cultivation in university and Jillian met Mr. Dressup when she was 4.
Share an awkward, embarrassing and intimate story:
Jill: I feel like this is all we do…
Lill: *Snigger* What about the time I caught you rubbing coffee grounds on your ass?
Jill: …You bitch…I saw it on Rachael Ray, it’s supposed to reduce cellulite.
Lill: Judging by the $300 you spent on Spanx last week I guess it wasn’t as effective as intended…
Tell 3 completely weird things about your habits. If you claim to have no weird habits, you’re lying and we’ll have to send an investigative team for further analysis:
Jill: LILLIAN SPIES ON OUR HOT NEIGHBOUR DOWN THE HALL EVEN THOUGH HE’S MARRIED!!
Lill: …Gee Jill, glad you’re being so mature about this…
Jill: You talked about my cellulite, what the hell did you expect?
Lill: Jillian sprays Febreze in her room every time she farts.
Jill: …I can’t…I just…it’s not…*sigh*
Lill: I eat artichoke hearts…like three times a week…it might be a problem. There done.
Tell why you look at the “glass half full” scenario and ask “what? No coffee?”:
Jill: We’re BFFs; we embrace hos before bros; we celebrate the good stuff, drink and/or shop away the bad and always together; and we try to live in the present, even if vegetating on the sofa in front of a Housewives marathon isn’t really living.
You find yourself in a desolate place when your car breaks down. You have no cell phone service, no Walmart (I know, GASP, right?), and only a candy bar for food. It is 150 miles to the closest town. What color are your pants and why?
Lill: Wait, we need to be wearing pants!?
Jill: *Sigh* Me in black skinny’s (what else?) and Lill in Gap low rise blue denim (she has fabulous hips).
Lill: I ate the candy bar…
Jill: I didn’t want it anyways…can you use that sibling psychic connection to call Alfie to come and fix the car?
Lill: No, my mind powers are tired from blitzing blue Fiats for Cakes.
Nominate 5 other blogs:
Jill: Seeing as we’re still newbies and just starting to see and be seen, we’re going to do a bit more circulating and schmoozing before any new shout outs, so stay tuned
Lill: Once again, muchas gracias to these fantabulous ladies for the nominations, and for the ongoing encouragement and inspiration from our supporters! You are the bees knees (with no cellulite).
hold on a sec… u guys are actually in Canada? The land of McCain???? or is Shania still living in Switzerland? I thought you were in the UK. (It must because because your humour is so evolved;)
SWEET! I like you even more now.
Yes indeed! Canadialand is from where we hail – and I think Shania is still in the States taping her show about her husband’s boots being under someone else’s bed…L
The insane babblings oddly make sense to me…..ummmmmmmmm…….where are my meds?
The banter is bouncing around the walls of my mind like a rubberball shot down the hallway! You are, perchance, those weird people who live next door to me at the asylum often referred to as “college”?
We’re two women you know which means we’re EVERYWHERE (like the bogeyman, and Santa, and herpes). We’ve been to this asylum you speak of – but please don’t tell anyone as I’m sure they’re still looking for us – it’s likely they want those very expensive pieces of paper back. …L
Want them back? NAY I SAY!
Tried to hang mine on the wall to cover the hole, until I discovered the hole was really a window, and stone tablets are not as conducive to hanging on walls as one might think.
YOU’RE part of the the Santa conspiracy? Should have seen that one coming! Shhhh….your secret’s safe with me.
Excellent! May we continue our existence hidden in obscurity and absurdity! And we confuse windows and holes all the time
…L
Shhhh…..can’t be hidden if one smells like coffee.
I do enjoy living absurdly!
btw, coffee grounds do NOT work on cellulite, but they are delicious in brownies!
Brownies also do not work on cellulite – we eat many and know this to be true …L
True…but given the option, I would rather have the coffee and brownies as a snack than trying to make my butt smell like yesterday’s coffee grounds. Might have people thinking Starbucks opened, they are popping up almost everywhere.
That was StarBUCKS btw, not Starbutts!
Lol, Jill will find this amusing – the bathroom DID smell like a coffee shop for the entire day…L
Tried making pants out of brownies…..not a good idea. They don’t hold together when you sit down very well. And everyone knows where you are by following the crumbs. But it does give new meaning to “Bite Me!”
And I would do it too! …L
Watch the nuts! Yes, I put nuts in these brownies!
Of course! How could you possibly do without them? …L
I’d feel greatly unbalanced…..as if something were amiss. Like a torch without batteries……Hmmmmmmm
LOL, win! …L
hahahaha clinical pathologists… NICE one!!
