Ya know, I keep track of my awards here at home. I’ve got a small part of my website devoted to them, but that’s still a work-in-progress. Who has time to prettify that page when you guys keep handing them out to me?
ShapeShifter wins awards, too, you know. Mitchell and Eric often duke it out for best guitarist, and Daniel gets noticed for his drumming. There’s been great songwriting, fan selections, and even a vocalist award or two for the frontman himself, The Great Mitchell Voss. Or so Trevor likes to call him.
Thus, for this week’s Thursday Thirteen, I bring you my latest award: PJ at The Urban Recluse was kind enough to award me the Creative Blogger Award.
|
| 1. Trevor: You know, more and more people are getting this place of ours. I like it. 2. Trevor: Except there is no deal for Susan. 3. Trevor: It’s about me, you mean. 4. Mitchell: But the blog’s about all four of us. 5. Daniel: The book may be about you. Mostly. But the blog’s about all of us. 6. Trevor: Like I know? I’m a bass player, for fuck’s sake, not a writer. 7. Mitchell: The book’s done. The blog’s got some fans. Why aren’t there more? 8. Mitchell: So far, Susan’s been given three Thinking Blogger Awards, Three Rockin’ Chick/Wench blogger awards, a Schmoozing Blogger award — 9. Daniel: Including a book deal for Susan? 10. Mitchell: I just don’t get it. 11. Daniel: Books aren’t like demo tapes, that you can put out and circulate around and watch your popularity grow. 12. Trevor: More of me, of course. 13. Trevor: Why? I’m way more fun to talk about. That’s why the focus of Susan’s blog isn’t Susan. It’s me. |
Thanks again to PJ for the much-appreciated recognition!
And now, in keeping with meme rules, I’d like to pass it on to these people:
Rhian, whose creativity knows no bounds
Robin, who earned it this week.
and L^2, whose creative skill with a camera is mind-blowing.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

To use ONE of Trevor’s words, not that he owns it, though he probably thinks he does, (I would argue the point): This was f’ing brilliant! (You don’t really think I would ruin my image by writing all the letters do you. I don’t have Trevor’s charm to get people to ignore it, not in a band either.)BR/BR/Now on to the other side of you, Congrats on your award! You are creative!
