Jill: So apparently Sir Nowan Zen believes we live passionately.
Lill: Well there WAS that one night after Fourth year midterms…
Jill: …
Lill: *Snigger* Ok, ok I’ll be good.
Jill: What he means is that we add colour to life, which is why he has nominated us for the Living Passionately Award.
Lill: Well your hair still has a tinge of ash-blue to it so I suppose this is fitting.
Jill: *Sigh* As Mr. Zen is the author and creator of this award, we bow humbly with thanks to his creativity and innovation. Nowan Zen is not only the most colourful blogger we know (take a meander through his mind), but he is also one of the most encouraging and active forces in our small corner. As part of the first round of nominees we thank him for this tremendous shout-out and commend him for setting the example for living passionately himself.
Lill: He ALSO makes terrific tin foil hats.
Jill: *Raises eyebrow* Yes…thank you Lillian…
Lill: Rules for this are as followed: Post the rules (we never do so check here for the low-down), do something out of the ordinary, and nominate those you think worthy.
Jill: While it sometimes seems that ‘out of the ordinary’ characterizes our daily goings-on, you’ll find we actually live pretty uneventful lives.
Lill: Yes, it’s the banter concerning the ordinary that makes things fun – however, as we never back down from a challenge, our ‘something out of the ordinary’ will entail a switch in evening obligations.
Jill: While I sit on the sofa playing Darren’s Xbox and eating caramel corn –
Lill: I will be attending something called Ashtanga yoga – that’s the one where you just stretch and sleep right?
Jill: Umm…yeah…
Lill: Good – I’m a former alternate for the Olympic team for both so this should be a piece of cake.
Jill: Ah yes, which reminds me – as I’m being YOU for the night, make sure to pick up a cake after work – oh and dinner as well.
Lill: What?! I, erm…fine…*sigh*
Jill: On to the nominees!
Lill: Not only do these peeps live passionately, they also happen to be fabulous bloggers so do stalk them until they bake you brownies check them out:
Jill: Many thanks again for the passionate praise – I’m looking forward to sweatpants and a relaxing evening.
Lill: Me too!
Jill: *Snigger*
Lill: Wait, why are you laughing?…Jillian?…
Lill and Jill 
oh – blush-sigh- flutter hand- and giggle slightly nervously … what can I say am touched (but not inappropriately 🙂 or maybe that is what I am missing … deep-longing-sigh)
That’s what we’re ALL missing *sigh*…L
what happened to the brother … is he not doing his job?
Oh yeah – sorry, Jill and I were posting at the same time (far too confusing) I’ve kicked her off now though.
Nope, Jillian’s well taken care of I assure you *shudder* the brother thing still irks a bit though…I on the other hand am still suffering some serious droughtage…L
me too .. maybe we should do something about that
Something really has to be done – Soon I’ll have to start going out with Jillian’s friends on the weekends, ugh…L
well come here and we could go out together
I doubt geography is the reason but it’s a good idea nonetheless!…L
🙂 good but sadly even when I moed country no much changed
So you’re saying my intended emigration to Abu Dhabi will be a bust?…L
maybe but at least you’ll get to wear a veil
This is true – but not likely to be effective in helping to attain desired outcome…More outings with Jillian’s friends will do I suppose!…L
maybe … or maybe order a guy via the net?
Heh, that’s what Jill suggested…L
well if there are mail-order brides why not hunks? Haven’t got the money myself and not sure how they would deal with a swap … have a very attractive female neighbour I am sure I could ship off
It’s a good plan – and you can get really big suitcases now for cheap…L
I was thinking of just butting her in a large box
OOOO……OOOOOO…….PICK ME…….PICK ME!
K, but you have to write more posts about grits :-D…L
I just did.

You two splash colour all over our lives and for that I do bow and thank you deeply. Now if you can help me back up…….can’t leave me like this…………why are you taking my wallet?……………
Sweatpants? Much to warm way down here in mosquitoland for sweat pants. In my best Suthun vernacular: “Ah thank ahm gittin’ tha vaypahs! Ah need sum ice tee!”
HA! You need to do an ENTIRE post like that :-D…L
Who would translate?
You could make a ‘key’ or something 😀 …L
Oh now you’re talking about lots of WORK! 😛
Okay…..you asked for it and I did it…..sort of.
http://notlostjustweird.com/2012/05/16/a-bit-about-where-im-from/
Haha! Well done! A win for sure – ‘Yawl yaynt frum rownd cheer’ was my favorite :-D…L
And if you ever have the opportunity to sample “Swamp Nuggets” please break all sound barriers leaving. It’s not something you want in your mouth…..just sayin’.
Erm, noted :-/…L
Perhaps I should’ve waited for a photo of the after face. 😛
Assuming me and the camera would survive…L
If yawl gits tha vaypahz, weel git yawl sum ahsstee tuh sewth yor systim.
Don’t forget the coaster :-)…L
That’s what magazines are for.
Congrats and thankyou! I was just thinking about making brownies anyway.
Excellent! You have my full support! …L
Thank you ladies! I see all my bribes have paid off… wait, um, I mean… this is so unexpected! I don’t know what to say! 🙂
Welcome and well-deserved! …L
u guys rock! and your comments made my (until now)shitty day. But I thought Ashtanga Yoga was where you you sat on a mat in a g-string and chain-smoked Marlboro lights. Ah well, tx for clearing that up! xo
LOL! So THAT’S what all those yoga hippies are really up to…and you’re welcome – we adore you so it was a pleasure passing this on :-)…L
