Self-Indulgent Acceptance Speech

Thank you so much to Prof K at Conversations in Klal for nominating me for a Kreative Blogger award! It means a lot to me coming from her. I am a bit in awe of how prolific she is. She presents well reasoned, well written, and thoughtful analysis about the issues facing our communities- and she does this every day, despite what sounds like a heavy teaching load and homemaking responsibilities. Also, she's a professor, which is very cool and slightly intimidating.

The problem is that the award comes with a lot of responsibility. I need to do lots of things with the number 7, like list 7 things that are interesting about me, nominate 7 other bloggers, link to each of them, notify each of them... good lord, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. (Even God found the number 7 to be exhausting. He worked for 6 days, but on that 7th day- well, he just crashed on the celestial sofa with a Diet Coke and a People magazine.)

So I'm going to break the rules. I'm going to hog all the glory (I won an award!!! I'm awesome!!!) and ignore all the responsibilities (kind of like, well, a man). Considering the fact that the name of the award is completely misspelled, I don't feel too guilty about going outside the box on this one.
