Meg’s Award Winning Blog: A series of pneumatic tubes.
So a about a week ago I interviewed “The Deav” and she gave me a list of blogs she reads on the regular. Most were blogs that I already read and knew were quality, but one I had never heard of: Meg’s Award Winning Blog. My curiosity was peaked to say the least! There are awards for this stuff?! THAT I COULD WIN?!?!
So I checked it out, in order to further my quest for the faceless vindication/appreciation of internet fame.
What came next is a mystery… I blacked out in a vicarious swoon and somehow lost 4 to 5 hours slouching in front of my computer… when I awoke I was left with only hazy recollections of brain surgery, animal attacks, and men in lederhosen (all of which I enjoy whole heartedly).
Not comfortable with my 90’s era Guy Pierce memory loss, I decided to go to the source! The following is an interview with the creative, Cockatoo taming, and utterly award worthy Meg from Meg’s Award Winning Blog! HIT THE MORE BUTTON, FRANK!
AAD: Can you send me a photo of yourself that I can use for the interview? (PS this doesn’t count as an interview question but, if you feel like answering it, have at).
This is me, holding a stick with a cockatiel photo taped to it. I made it for my cocktail party. See the subtle difference?
AAD: What is Meg’s Award Winning Blog about?
It is about situations, movements, areas, and items.
AAD: You’re blog makes me giggle… So I was wondering, If I was bitten by a zombie, turned into one myself, managed to shamble/groan all the way to Portland Oregon, and then ate your brain would it make me equally hilarious?
This is a trick question. I am uninterested in zombies. When people start making zombie references, all I can think about are gray squares and brown lines, maybe with slight left-to-right movements. The same thing that happens when my husband tries to tell me how RAM works. I am going to ignore the zombie part of your question and answer this abbreviated version instead: “I was wondering, if I managed to shamble/groan all the way to Oregon, would it make me equally hilarious?” The answer is yes.
AAD: Do you read other people’s blogs? If so which ones and why?
I have read three extremely conservative religious blogs every day for a year. They are a combination of boring and infuriating, and I can’t stop. I read these with more regularity than I have bowel movements. I also read a blog about a cat who wears different outfits Monday through Friday and takes stroller rides in his Florida suburb. I read normal blogs too, like my BFF’s tumblr, All the Kids are Playing, STFU Marrieds, and A Cup of Jo. Also Stuff White People Like, because I suspect he’s spying on me.
AAD: You’re blog seems to feature a lot of stuff you’ve made /pneumatic tubes. I’ve always considered pneumatic tubes to be associated with mad scientist/inventors. Are you an inventor/mad scientist? Are you insulted by the adjective mad? Do yo have plans to extinguish the sun with a laser or rule the world by creating a time machine?
The first thing I did when I got to work this morning was make a High Productivity Medallion out of waxed floss and a post-it for a very industrious summer intern. I don’t want to grow up to be the obese 50-year-old woman with the Michael’s Craft Store punch card, but I don’t think I have the capacity to become a mad scientist, either. I prefer humans to experiments and lasers and extinguishing the sun.
AAD: What awards did you win? If you didn’t ACTUALLY win any awards, what awards should you win?
There is a good chance that Meg’s Award-Winning Blog has won some awards. Preeeeetty good chance. I should win an Enjoying Whippets award. I have also been very good about pronouncing my H’s after W’s lately. An award for that is in order too.
AAD: Tell me more about the REAL you.
The real me and the fake me are intertwined to the max. This stresses my mother out and she often asks me if I’m being sarcastic or not. Real me = I rearrange my furniture every night and I just applied for the Peace Corps.
AAD: Tell me more about the FAKE you.
At work I spend a lot of time with patients pretending I am very interested in how much better the new Lamisil works compared to the old version. My goal is to fake it so well that I receive a Lamisil coupon. Shoot for the moon, Rory, and you may land upon a lamisil coupon-covered star!
