To Think or Not To Think . . .

Well, well, well. I have been flattered once again and the illustrious Brillig nominated me for a Thinking Blogger Award. This award was designed to honor blogs that make you think. So, um, apparently I make Brillig think "what the crap is up with THAT girl??"

I really am honored. Here's what my nominator (heheh, sounds like Terminator) said about me:

"Kate is a funny girl who comes across as very poised, but is apparently a big ol' clutz. She keeps a ticker on her blog telling you how many days it's been since her last "Kateastrophe"--always hilarious. But there's often more depth here than first meets the eye-- she'll have you in stitches one minute and in tears the next."

So now I'm supposed to continue the honoring . . .

Here be the rules:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the origin of the award.

3. Optional: Proudly display the "Thinking Blogger Award" on your blog if you were nominated.

So now I have to nominate five blogs that make me think . . . this is gonna be tricky, because obviously I wouldn't read a blog if it didn't make me think at least a little . . .

1. Jurgen Nation
Stacey goes from being side splitting hilarious (you cannot skip her "about me" section. I read it again and again and laugh every time) to bringing me to the brink of tears. Plus she's an amazing photographer to boot!

2. The View From Here
I am loving his eloquent writing, his well thought out points and that . . . well, he's a GUY in the blogging world. We need some more of those!

3. Girl, Dislocated
She doesn't post very often, but when she does, you're almost always guaranteed to laugh your butt off (or in her case a leg or arm) at her fun stories about life with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. (aka her appendages just randomly pop out of their sockets! Hours of fun!)

4. Diary of the Nello
Kelly, aka Nello, always has something interesting to say and I'm always entertained because she and I seem to share a lot of the same views and frustrations. I love reading through her archives. I could play there for hours.

5. Boobs, Injuries and Dr. Pepper
Crystal is a newer blog friend, but I LOVE her blog. I want to be JUST LIKE HER when I grow up.

There are MANY more blogs I want to honor, but I was limited to five.

Phew! At least it wasn't another Meme, right?!?!

Hahaha.
