Her royal majesty AliceAtWonderland, Queen of the Internetz, dumped bestowed upon me the honor of the Fruitcake.
(she also threatened to hurt Sad Pony, Squirrel, AND a bunch of puppies if I didn’t pass this on!)
(it’s ok, we’re BFF4EVS so she can threaten me all she wants)
Click here for the rules.
I get to pick exactly one person for this award. Since I’m a total badass, I’m picking two.
1. Rohan7Things, because I thought ‘Hey, I bet Rohan likes fruitcake!’. Do you like fruitcake, Rohan?
2. Twindaddy because I was thinking about how now that I’ve done the Fruitcake award and the tag, Alice won’t hurt Sad Pony and Squirrel. They’re Alice’s imaginary friends and my boyfriends. And Alice loves Blunt Life Coach who is Twindaddy’s alter ego, and I love Twindaddy, so this means that Twindaddy loves Sad Pony and Squirrel. Anyone who loves them deserves the Fruitcake award.
Now for The Tag. The Tag is a dangerous internet game where you could lose your loved ones if you fail to comply with the rules because the Queen of the Internetz is holding them hostage.
Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and eleven random facts about you.
3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s post.
4. Create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/Twitter and let them know they’ve been tagged.

11 Random Facts about me:
- Sometimes I leave my sentences unpunctuated because I’m terrified of the dramatic period at the end. (<–Gah! There it is!)
- I like to eat straight out of a watermelon cut in half.
- I love bread. No, I don’t think you understand exactly how much I love it. I LOVE bread. All kinds, white, whole wheat, multi-grain, the icky dark brown colored ones, honey oat, garlic, French. All of them.
- The first time I heard of a flash mob, I thought well……I thought they randomly flashed people.
- Sometimes I like to save my word files as ‘this piece of crap’ so when Word asks before closing a file, it says “Would you like to save this piece of crap?” and I know it’s being sarcastic.
- As a kid I always thought antipasto was an organization that was really against pasta.
- I learnt Chinese nursery rhymes when I went to preschool in Singapore, and I can’t for the life of me remember a word. I do remember the Chinese gesture for time-out very well. Turns out the gesture for time-out is universally the same.
- These lists get really hard towards the end. But I’ve proven that threatening to hurt imaginary creatures works to get me to respond to them.
- I have a tiny crush on Spock. NOT Zachary Quinto as Spock, but Spock the character.
- I love Samsung phones because they’ll stay in one piece even if I hurl it across the room. Blackberry does not do that.
- I cheated and Googled ‘random questions’ after question 8 below. I’m bad.
Questions from Alice:
1. Why do you blog? Why do any of us do this? Why?
I blog because I like to. Meeting all these new people, hearing their stories, it’s fun. Plus you gotta let out all the bottled up craziness somewhere right?
2. Are you hungry?
Always. Do you have a cookie?
3. Is this eleven questions yet?
Sure it is! Isn’t it?
4. Is anyone still reading?
I am! Anyone else? Anyone? Helloooooooo?
5. Does my butt look big on this blog?
Noooooo! Unless you want it to, in which case, that is a fiiiiiine blog butt you got there.
6. Just how bored are you?
How bored are YOU?
7. How long can you hold your breath? No reason. Just curious. Don’t look behind you.
About 30 seconds. I’m scared Alice.
8. Can you poop rainbows? If so, we must meet.
No. How sad is that? But I read this thing about rainbow poop last year, and was waiting for the perfect time to bring it up!
9. Are you STILL reading? You really are bored.
Is that even a question?
10. Is there a monster at the end of this post?
Yes. No. Don’t look behind you.
11. Does anyone know what I should write about? That would like, be actually good? Or mildly entertaining? Or stupid and gross but kind of funny?
I went to a topic generator for this, It gave me ‘how to throw a proper party’. Or you could always write more about that fabulous rainbow poop.
Questions:
- Talk of bowel movements, does it make you uncomfortable?
- What was it with evening gloves in history? Were women’s wrists too provocative?
- What is your favorite spaceship?
- What color is your toothpaste? Flavor?
- Does the above question make you uncomfortable?
- Why do you think people watch Beavis and Butt-head?

So hang on….I get tagged, so I have to do this stuff, but I don’t get an award? What?
Sorry Steph. Do you like fruitcake?
I hate fruitcake!
See I knew that on a subconscious level. That’s why you get the honor of The Tag. THE TAG 😀
YESSSSS! Air high five!
High five, Steph!
Congratulations! Nice answers.
Thanks!
Haven’t seen anything weird lately, how sad is that?
Fruitcake award, I giggled.
Nothing? Now THAT’s weird. 😉
Hehe, Alice comes up with the best stuff
These dudes are total fruitcakes! Good thinking!
Haha!
I think it’s possible Alice was trying to tell me something here. Only one person gets the award, and I got the award……and it’s called the Fruitcake award…..
2+2=
I must be a fruitcake. Sigh.
^ HaHa!
Oh wow! Ummm, oh God, I uh, I don’t really like fruitcake, I’m so sorry. My mum loves the stuff. I tasted it when I was a kid and went “ewwww” haven’t tried it since. But you know what! Maybe I’ll give it a shot next time I have the chance, my pallet has changed significantly since then 🙂
Either way I’m super stoked to receive the award so thank you!! I’ll even come out of award retirement to accept and share this one 🙂
So onto the rest. First of all super cute picture! You’ve got a reeeeealy long neck! Preschool in Singapore? Whoa! And yeah I really wasn’t ready for those six colored poops. Even the PT King can be caught off guard! I’ll tell you a secret though, when I was young I ate too many smarties and did a blue poo, according to my gradma anyway.
Well, happy to be a fruitcake, no arguments there 🙂
Rohan.
Really? Poor, lonely fruitcake. Nobody likes it.
But yay, Rohan’s coming out of award retirement for the Fruitcake award!
Thanks! Sometimes I wear turtlenecks, but my neck is still cold! I don’t know what to do.
Blue poo? Hahaha! Now that is pretty impressive. You really are the PT King 😀
*nudey fruitcakey hugs* (there’s something very wrong with that there)
*Nudey fruitcake hugs* back atcha. Yeah, I can see that getting a bit, um, sticky…
Rohan.
That blue fecal matter might be what your grandma would answer for #7 of “the questions”….
Lol, oh my god…I’m sure it smelled positively chocolaty! Hmmm, maybe that’s worse
Rohan.
gag
Haha 🙂
Rohan.
You are filled with surprises, my friend ~
HAHA!
I bow to the mighty PT King.
I am honored you came out of retirement for fruitcake. The great thing is you can just regift it really fast. I don’t know if I’ve ever met anyone who has actually eaten fruitcake. I’m impressed with the blue poo. I wonder if you could get rainbow poo from eating skittles. I must try this – for science.
Try it! TRY IT!
A few Christmases ago I ate an unhealthy amount of skittles over a few days. Didn’t check my poo unfortunately 😦
Yeah I’m happy to spread the fruitcake, will post when I get the chance!
All the best 🙂
Rohan.
This feels like a trick. So I’m totaling doing it.
In our family there is a fruitcake that has been ‘regifted’ since 1997. If you get it, it’s your job to disguise it in a clever box and wrap for the next honorable person to keep the whole year so this just makes me feel happy and at home. Thanks!
Hehe, I love your family’s tradition 😀
Both very worthy of the fruitcake award! Also, I love your questions. Especially about bowel movements.
So I’m guessing talk of bowel movements does not make you uncomfortable. High five, Katie!
On the contrary, it makes me feel MORE comfortable.
Don’t you think people should care more about each other’s bowel movements? The world would be a better place.
YES! I do!
I didn’t talk about poo so much until I had kids and then I found myself discussing it at the dinner table.
I talk about poo with one of my friends or boyfriend every day. I don’t know how I’d get by without it, now…
Our talking about bowel movements movement is spreading, MissFourEyes!
This is it, Revis, a revolution!
Viva la shitty revolution!
Congrats on your award!!
When you talk about kil– I mean getting rid of the bird it makes me think of Zoe Deshenel in Failure to Launch with the mockingbird or whatever out side her window! That was really random but I just thought of it…. But anyways… Congrats again!
I was thinking of the same movie the other day, specifically the gun scene.
Thanks, Danielle!
Squirrel and Sad Pony are relieved. Well, okay, Squirrel is relieved. Sad Pony was all “whatever, it was a good day to die . . .” ya know, he’s so positive. I can’t wait till twindaddy finds out he got the fruitcake! This will totally MAKE HIS DAY doncha think?
Absolutely! He likes homework….or doesn’t like homework, I forget. I distinctly remember him saying something about homework.
Congrats and great post. Not that anyone cares :-P, but I love fruitcake. 🙂
A fruitcake lover? Finally! I was afraid we wouldn’t find one 🙂
This has badassery and awesome written all over it. Love it.
First of all, I love your name!
And thanks! 🙂
You’re most welcome 🙂
A lovely photo of you!
Hehe, thanks La La!
I love your picture, NBG. And you crack me up. I laughed multiple times while reading this.
Thanks, Sexy Stormtrooper!
You are now the proud owner of a fruitcake! The rules state that I get to pester you until you pass it on 😀
Lol, I know…
#5 LOl- you crack me up
Hehe 😀
I have 33 grams of blog. Now, I have 33 questions to answer since I’ve been tagged by 3 people. I’ve got a lot of work to do…..
Enjoy yourself! Answer some with information of your bowel movements…..or all of them.
After size, consistency, and regularity, there’s not really much to talk about…..
Hawawwawwh fruit cake award… You went in my spam box, hence I am late over. Love your answers..Hugs xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
I was in the spam box?! Nooo! WordPress hates me. First they took me off the Reader (I got it fixed though), now the emails. Sigh. Maybe it’s all the nudity….
Hugs, Stella!
Dang I should have had a Samsung cell phone when I still had a cell phone. I’m a cellphone-chucker. Do you know of a stapler that doesn’t fall apart if it flies across the room?I throw those as well.
Staplers wrapped with rubber bands are always good to go 😉
I’ve always wondered what I should do with my spare rubber bands.
LOL this award made me giggle.
Hehe, AliceaAtWonderland comes up with the best stuff
Mwahahaha. Love it!
😀
They’re awesome! The gift that keeps on giving.

You have TWO boyfriends, partner?
You little minx! Well done!
I sure do! They are imaginary animals…..but anyway! They’re both wonderful 🙂
Woohoo! A well deserved fruitcake! You look beautiful in that picture, by the way. I’m diggin’ the lip color.
Aw thanks, Nicole! I call it red sharpie. Goes with everything!
Poop rainbow? But you can poop glitter, if you buy the glitter poop pills (Yes, I’m actually serious about that!).. Costs a lot – and you might get addicted!
That picture of you is so hot.
*blush*
(place awkward possibly inappropriate wink here)

Pingback: Who You Callin’ a Fruitcake? | Stuphblog
That fruitcake looks sooo delicious. And that picture of you…very handy.
Right? Everyone loooves fruitcake!
And by everyone you mean no one.
What is your favorite spaceship?
That’s especially tricky because I love love love love love spaceships. My favorite part of most sci-fi movies are the ships. When Lucas started tinkering with Star Wars, my favorite revamped scene was the Falcon lifting off from Mos Eisley.
I think my favorite one at the moment is the Whitestar from Babylon 5. Second favorite is the Millennium Falcon. Third favorite is probably a tie between Serenity and Nell from Battle Beyond The Stars. Your (space)mileage may vary.
Does your name make any interesting anagrams?
Yes. “Mangle Vastness.” Given how much I travel, that’s kind of appropriate, no?
A spaceship kinda guy! I like the Whitestar, my favorite will always be the Enterprise 😀
Mangle Vasteness, that’s pretty awesome. Mine gave me ‘Java Brain Hung.’
You could also use “A Java Burn Nigh,” which is kinda fun.

#5 is hilarious! Sooooo…it’s been awhile since you blogged….
Hehe, thanks!
Has it? I blog almost every week…
Oooo…for some reason my browser took me straight to this post, and I thought it was your most recent. Stupid IE….
I probably just clicked on something, but I prefer to blame the browser.
Er…I accidentally pressed the unfollow button right now, guess that makes me the stupid one 😛

Ooooo so the glasses are more than iconic legend. They are real. In the flesh, or rather on the flesh in this case lol. Love’em.
Hehe, yup more than a legend. I get crazy looks from people when I have them on 😀
