kiss a$$, kick a$$, whatever

My new girlfriend, That Girl, from Hey, You, Remember Me? kissed me square on the booty today, and I liked it. She gave me this:


And now I have to turn around and kiss some other people square on the booty. So here goes:

Jen from Breed 'Em and Weep. This mama has been having a crappy time of it, and that is a total understatement. She's getting a divorce, and she writes about it with such grace and love and dignity. And the writing, people, the writing this woman does is powerful. So if you can't get off the interwebs for 25 minutes a day to read real books, at least go over and read the literature that pours from her fingertips.

Cat, from Pink Asparagus. Because man, let me tell you, that girl has flair. And she likes pink and Tarzhay and accessories. And I heart her haiku.

Next up, The Well-Read Hostess. Because I said so. Her commentary on, heck, anything under the sun is worth reading.

Fourth is one of my favorite smart-asses, The Hotfessional. She's just funny, that's all, and she stalks her across the street neighbors and flips people off during teleconferences, and stalks her neigh... oh, right, I mentioned that. Hotfessional also has alopecia areata and talks about that sometimes, but not in a whiny pissant sort of way. She's brave and awesome.

I'm supposed to give this award to five bloggers, but since That Girl was tagged, and she already tagged Black Hockey Jesus, Maggie, Dammit, and The Mister, I'm going to just stop at four. So there.

And I'm also supposed to say that the Kick Ass Blogger Award comes from mamadawg. So now you know.
