You are right! I AM great!
And embarrassed? Please. I should tattoo this list on my forehead.
and not to be a bitch (another of my charming attributes) but. . . jkb?
What exactly do you think my middle name is?
Kumar? Kenneth? Keith? Karen?
Nope. It's Michael.
Oh, and it's BLANKenship not blakenship.
Gawd gabrielle, you don't even know me at all. lol
But you know, other than those twelve things... I was really touched =)
ok ok, i was in a hurry, sorry about the last name. jezuzzzz!
and i don't know what i was thinking with the jkb. i was just thinking of your name without the vowels, oh, and with a k instead of a c, apparently. bah!
OMG did you just hear me at the swap saying I was working on a post about Jacob? It's a slightly different spin, but no matter, I can't very well post it now. I was gone all weekend so I hadn't seen your post. :(
Anyway, true points, all. Fab post, though I'm not sure about all the slicing and dicing of his name, lol.
And you forgot one, the most important one...maybe I'll work it in to an upcoming piece. Stay tuned. <3
I know, right?
