Yes, I'm that person. Well, sort of. The person I'm not is the one that plays Farm this and Fish that and post EVERY.SINGLE. accomplishment ever achieved. No, I'm the person that finds stupid "What True Blood character are you?" and "What 80s sitcom is your life?" insanely amusing. You know, because Facebook knows you better than your best friend does and can diagnose your chronic self esteem problem. But we're not talking about me here.
Oh wait, yes we are.
The quiz I took today was the Narcissistic Personality Disorder test. It's no surprise that my result was 26, with 40 being the highest. Since the general population scores an average of 15, I'd say I'm quite the overacheiver and am damn proud of it.
Really though, it's not like I need a Facebook quiz to tell me something I didn't already know. I have this blog for narcissists sake! Clearly I enjoy talking about myself. And with the invention of Twitter, I get to do it much more often, but limited to 140 characters. Do you know how hard it is to cram that much self love into such a small space? Next to impossible. Unless I'm bashing Tyra Banks for being a dumb supermodel. That doesn't take much work. She kind of does the job for me.
Since we're still talking about me, let me tell you a little bit about a few of my favorite things.
Since we're still talking about me, let me tell you a little bit about a few of my favorite things.
- Wine - More specifically, reisling. A few years ago, my friend Melissa gifted me the greatest bottle of reisling ever. Try as I might, I haven't been able to find it since. Of course I don't remember that name so this adds to my dilema. I mean, how many reislings come with a screw top lid? Not many I'm guessing.
- Lolita Wine/Martini glasses - Greatest. Concept. Ever. Except what a waste of a perfectly good wine glass. Sure I've had to resist the urge to use these novelty glasses when all my every day glasses are dirty. As an alcoholic a regular wine connosiuer, it's difficult to have a never ending supply of clean glasses. And with alcoholism thirst, come laziness.
- Things that smell good - Clean laundry, chocolate, hot boys that are otherwise bad news, candles, etc. Since I can't have my cake and eat it too (see hot boys that are otherwise bad news) I prefer to fill my house with candles. Come over at any given time and you'll find a candle burning. Come over when I'm not home and you'll possibly smell smoke because I undoubtedly left the candle burning. Hey, I said I like the way they smell. I mentioned nothing about being sober responsible enough to remember to blow the candle out before leaving. That's what renter's insurance is for anyway, right?
- Books - Most notably any book written by Jen Lancaster. Oh my heck is she hilarious. She's like the love child of Dooce and The Bloggess. In pearls. A close second to Jen is any book filled with booze. Lots of booze. With the invention of the iPhone and the free Mixology App, I have a bartender at my fingertips year round.
Why am I telling you these things? Well, for one, I love myself so much that my blog name is Courtknee Rawks (because it's true, I do.) And two, one of my favorite bloggers, Erin at A Real Housewife, is hosting her very first giveaway in honor of her 100th post. And the items in this prize package seem to have been designed with me in mind. Never mind that these things are HER favorites, they are perfect for me. It's not a coincidence actually. I know for a fact she is going to just give me those items, but she's using the giveaway as a cover so she the rest of her followers don't feel left out. She's so kind to remember everyone else's feelings like that; it's clearly more than I'd do.
Really though, this giveaway is pretty cool. It's pretty unique actually. Most bloggers do giveaways because a company approached them and asked them to review their product and offer a free whatever-it-is-they-are-peddling to one lucky reader. Erin took her idea, gave it a neat little twist and personalized it. Which is something I love. And her blog? It's great. She's got a wicked sense of humor and shares my love for everything alcohol related. As she put it on Twitter, we were meant to be besties.
Do yourself a favor and head on over to her blog, hit that follow button and leave her a comment. Tell her how awesome she is. Just don't enter this giveaway because then you ruin my chances of winning. And you wouldn't want to do that to me, would you? I'm out of wine and because of that, I'm also incredibly fragile right now...you don't want to make me cry. Then head on over to Twitter and follow her there too. If you don't, you'll miss out on tweets like the one where she peed behind a tree in broad daylight. A girl after my own heart! Hil.Ari.Ous! Sorry Erin, it's just too good not to mention.
Now, since I'm out wine I need to scrounge up some cough syrup or rubbing alcohol to get me through the rest of the evening. Kidding.
Kind of.
