Furthermore, when someone writes something about me that is as kind, flattering, and touching as Stefanie’s words here, the logo could very well be a picture of a moose taking a dump on someone’s head, and I’d still display it proudly. Thank you so much, Stefanie! (Am I supposed to nominate other people now? Guide me, O wise one.)
As if that wasn’t enough excitement for one week, I received an email from Y yesterday. Yes, that Y, one of my dearest, funniest internet friends, and a bona fide blogebrity. (I don’t use that term lightly; girlfriend was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, is what I’m saying.) Imagine my shock and amazement, therefore, when she asked me if I would write a guest post on her blog.
OMG.
*hyperventilates into paper bag*
Can you say honored and flattered beyond belief?
Only one wee, itty bitty problem.
I have NO IDEA what to write about. And I’ve literally been mulling this over for a solid day. I mean, if left to my own devices, my post will probably read like this:
“I love Yvonne she is so pretty and funny and buy this snack/beauty product/book and here are some pictures OMG there was this crazy hobo on the subway and here is something stupid that I said or did or thought at one time or another.”
And then Y will run away, shrieking regretfully, as will all of her gazillion readers.
Do you see why I NEED YOUR HELP? I’m enlisting all of you here. (Except you, Y! I’ve totally got things under control, and you should not be at all alarmed by my unmitigated ineptitude at guest-blogging!)
So.
People.
I ask you, nay, beseech you…can you suggest any ideas for a topic that you’d like to see me cover in this guest post? This is no time to be shy. It IS, however, time to help me.
Now, I have much to say here about your hilarious comments on the last post, the new Die Hard movie, Target shopping bags, an extremely dirty-sounding item that I just saw on a restaurant menu and yet another lip gloss (if you can believe it), but I’m far too nervous to discuss any of these things right now. Once you help me to figure out what I’ll be writing about, I’ll presumably calm down a bit. PRESUMABLY.
Many thanks in advance. :)

See, that paragraph of what you just might write pretty much works as an outline for many of your best posts. It's not the topic that makes the post; it's the brilliant way you flesh out the details. :-) So no worries; I'm sure your guest blogging stint will go great.
As for the award, you can pass it along to five other women if you want, but I hate to pressure people in that chain letter sort of way, so do with it whatever you please.
I think your comments on the Die Hard movie and lip gloss would be a great combo! Or you could right about the sheer awesomeness of So You Think You Can Dance.
That is awesome. Double awesome.
I would love to read you do a "how to" on the correct way to apply lip gloss.
You could make that hilarious.
Or maybe choosing a lip gloss.
I just really think it has to be about lip gloss. And must include pictures of your gorgeous self!
I'd like to see a picture of you throwing horns. Make sure you do the face-scrunch too ;)
Just throw in a hobo reference and a picture of Toopweets (and his cute little anchorman hair) and I think you're golden. ;)
I'd like to see a post about the geological ramifications of global warming as it relates to modern agriculture.
Or you could just post about underwear.
I like the post regarding Tom Cruise. Write something that is familiar from your POV.
Who the hell knows. I just like the photo you made in the previous post.
Rockin.
Dude, any of your posts are awesome-funny!
But I'm going to go w/ something on pop culture...
I agree with everyone so far... anything you write about is entertaining!!
Maybe review a handful of bad VH1 reality shows as they debut?
Or! Maybe you should just stop being nervous and write something for me already because I'm SO FUCKING EXCITED to read what you have to say.
...AND LESS!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem most of the time. Lately I've been pulling topics out of my ass, like "these are the contents of my purse", "I had a conversation that went like this", "my boyfriend is so great let me tell you why". Seriously? writer's block sucks.
I feel your pain but I got nothin'.
You should write this essay for the blog post: everything you know about being a girl you learned from Judy Blume books. Oh wait. That was already published.
Yeah... I got nothing.
I heart checkerboard Vans. Chris hates! them, but that only makes me want to wear them more often. Funny, that. I have two pair: pink and black and two-toned brown.
(Oh, and my vote for potential guest post topic goes for "Target shopping bags." I am endlessly curious.)
*taps foot*
...AND LESS!
Dude! Write about your wierd crushes. I totally have one on Andy Samberg as well!
Or explain why this song is so freaking stuck in my head for about 2 weeks now!

Write about the cross-cultural nature of green Pringles!
But anyway, you should probably write your opinion on why so many of us totally think we're awesome dancers in our heads and the relative shame we feel when we try it in public.
