It is that time of year again…

NaBloPoMo.

Last year I rocked the NaBloPoMo.  Every. Freaking. Day.

When there was just me and the voices in my head reading.

Now that the voices in my head have been joined by the two of you, we had a conference (one of those cheap arsed ones where there is only coffee and no damn donuts) and decided to not subject you to my foul mouthed insanity every single day.

Cause that is akin to flagellation.  And it is the wrong time of year for that shit.

You are welcome.

During the meeting, after making small talk about the state of the house - voted down 4 to 1 to actually do something about it - replenishing the chocolate stash - unanimous vote to fill the fridge and dispose of that pesky greenery shit - and admiring each pair of shoes, we made a graphic.

Cause that is what you do when you have a conference in your head with no damn donuts.

So you with me?

Do you solemnly swear that you will NOT post every damn day and only post when the mood strikes?

Do you promise to love only me forsaking all other blogs for as long as Al Gore allows the internetz to live?

Cause I spent minutes on that damn button.  So I must be totally committed to the cause.

And to those of you that are participating.  Good luck with that.  Cause my freaking feedreader is already about to explode.  Already.

As an aside:  What is with the fucking ‘National’, um hello fuckknuckle, the internet is like international now… so mine is international… you are welcome, again.

As an aside to the aside:  MPS is participating in fucking Movember again.  I am all for the cause, but not for the freaking porn star moustache.  Fuck it. Gunna be a goddamn dry month for you buddy!

As an aside to the asideiness:  Boo just announced that ‘there will be oceans of vomit some time soon’ while teaching MPS to speak Russian.  Yup.  My life.

Says umm- glad you’re not trying to shame the rest of us by over-blogging! I still hadn’t worked out what the bleedin’ flamin’ acronym meant let alone written anything!! Anyway what does “there will be oceans of vomit some time soon” translate to in Russian and can Boo do it in Burmese for the rug-drowning cat plz? OKTHXBAI

OH THANK GOD. I could never blog for a month - and it was November 2 before I realised it was even on, so I failed :P

My boyfriend is banned from participating in Movember. Told him I wouldn’t go near him the entire month! Scratchy eeewwwwwwww.

LOL. I LOVE IT!!! I’m definitely in the Nahblome camp. I’m with you on the international bit too. Although it does muck up their lovely little acronym if we start kicking up too much fuss. Think I now know what Tasmania feels like.

See, if you’da posted this effer about 5 days ago, you would have saved my ass. But. No. Maybe you’ll make one for drop outs… Save me, Kel, save me! I kid. For now I’m going strong and trying to keep them relatively short because it’s the only fair thing to do.

I can’t even get it together to comment every day for a month.. *sigh*

Lightening is someone chopping down all your trees and turning them into woodchips as well??

*snort*

Yep, I signed up for the madness.

1 November I posted. I was so proud!

2 November I wrote half a post before realising it was 4 minutes after midnight. FUCK.

So, hell yeah, I’m with you NahBloMe. Love it! ROFL

Movember is not happening here, as he already has one. I have only one thing to say about MPS and Movember…

PICS OR IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Totally putting that badge on my blog! I only ever post when I damn well feel like it (well, except that I write when I am inspired and will often write several posts all in one day and then have to scatter them, then things like an election happen or a cat dies and I have to rearrange everything - ugh!).

Anyway, totally with you!

Fifikins Says:

Yep! I’m in. And trying not to make some quip about being blo-ed!

Cripes, sometimes I probably shouldn’t even post when the mood strikes me! I’d make myself crazy trying to think of anything every day!

I’ll participate if you promise to … nah, nevermind. Women never keep that promise, anyway.

What about the sinfully southern recipes I am just venturing out to put onto paper, er, a screen, to share with the rest of the low fat cardboard munching world? There are donuts there, I promise!

I also promise I really DO eat that stuff, but the key is moderation. I forgot you saw my naked arse BEFORE it got censored, you just didn’t see the hub’s naked arse. He has NO control! ;) And I will remain faithful to you as you were, and STILL ARE my very first blog crush, so I will proudly sport any badge or button you create!

The mustache? The other night as hubby was rocking 2 yr old Pink before bed, she reached up feeling his stubbly chin then rubbing her own and asked, “Sissy stubblies too?” wanting to be just like her Daddy. He told her ,”No, stubblies are only for boys.” She thought for a second and exclaimed,”I yike boys!”, To which hubby sternly replied, “You better NOT like boys!” With a bewildered look she quietly squeaked, “I yike Bubba? Bubba is a boy!”

Maybe instead of blogging I can just write little tid bits in your comment section, would that be too much? ;)

Smooches!

XOXO

Hell yeah! Sign me up for NahBlome! There is no earthly way that I could post every single day for a month; I’m not even that interested in my life, how could I possibly expect people to read that shit?

I’m in….it killed me to get to the 100th…I can’t imagine trying to be awesome like you EVERYDAY! I’ll try to put the badge on my site…I’m such a dumbass when it comes to doing that…oh, and thank you very much for your kind comment!

NaBloPoMo is a big fat FAIL for me. I can only come up with so much nuttiness and I can never promise that it is good, or won’t be about Poop.

Jim Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 3:01 am

Ohhh, I am all over this. I’ll even email you donuts for your next conference for this one.

magpie Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 3:59 am

I am so stealing that badge. And using it, with a clear head, since I’ve already not posted every day in November, not that I signed up for NaBloPoMo this year, having learned my lesson last year.

I totally put up both your banner and the NaBloPoMo banner. I’m hedging my bets, that way I live up to something.

Where’s the code for the button, toots?

Ashley Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 5:02 am

I do love your button, but am doing the daily post (just for November). And, although some people said that posting daily made their visitors jump skyhigh, Im thinking they are liars.

Jayne Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 6:49 am

Nah. I gots me an itch to post trivial crap everyday…and scratch that itch I will ! :P
“Oceans of vomit” is a kinda impelling statement….

A very lazy attitude if you ask me.

Nina Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 7:10 am

OK I promise I will blog only when the mood strikes me. LOL… I don’t know how most people do it and post every single day. I can talk a lot but not that much and I am sure my ramblings would become tourcher for some.

GeekLover Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 7:18 am

oh fuck yeah! how do i put that on my (never updated, oops) blog?

Kath Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 7:54 am

I’m kinda… doing the nano. I just wanted to do it once… for the experience and shit? And also, as someone else said, I wanna have an excuse for posting my trivial shiz!

HO Says:

I rocked it last year too.

This year, I am so on board with you, where can I get that button babe?

Maternal Mirth Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am

I am with you for two reasons:

1. I couldn’t post every day if I tried. I am just too fucking boring that way.

2. I have better things to do like start planning my Christmas decorations and work on my abs.

Tranny Head Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 2:02 pm

I’m with you, too. I’m so putting this button on my blog and being all hawt and trantastic about it.

Stimey Says:
November 6th, 2008 at 2:25 pm

When I heard “It is that time of the year again,” I automatically assumed you were talking about the bathroom tree.

I look forward to reading about the oceans of vomit.

Good times…good times.

NaBloPoMo is a good idea, but reading all those extra posts seriously cuts into my nap time…….

Veronica over at sleepless nights has taken it to a whole new level. She’s posting recipes daily on her food blog. We all love to read about food, right?

Oceans of vomit???

UrbanVox Says:

hell yeah!!!! :)
and btw… you’re officially invited to come pimp my blog!!! ;)

I could participate in your plan better than that other one. You know me, I’d never make it.

Now your plan? I could probably win that one :)

Dan Brantley Says:

Great stuff. I am a 3 time failed NaNoWriMo participant, on my way to failing again this year.

I think I can handle NahBloMe

I Stumbled for ya.

Momisodes Says:
November 7th, 2008 at 7:30 am

Oh you temptress, you!!!

I’m on the ultimate crazy train to madness (Blog365), so I’m also doing NaBloPsychoMo.

You’re killing me.

Methinks 2009 should be NoBloPoYear for me.

Jim Says:
November 7th, 2008 at 1:27 pm

I have the badge up on my blog. It looks just right there…

swollenpickles Says:
November 7th, 2008 at 11:15 pm

I’m doing movember this year for the first time. I clearly haven’t thought the concept through, because a week in and my mo is not visible to the naked eye unless you are within 2 feet of my face. Is it possible to be late 20’s and not have hit puberty?

Rhubarb Whine Says:

I am SO in that I am going to pilfer your image. Is it up for grabs? My sidebar is calling it.

Huckdoll Says:
November 10th, 2008 at 8:22 am

I’m tired, so tired…and only eight days in. I’ve officially posted more in 8 days than I did in the months of October, September and August. *Sigh*

It’s nice to push yourself but holy fuck man. Ima bookmark this post.

Kim Says:
November 11th, 2008 at 3:27 pm

And this is why I love you. I could never ever do a month straight.. ever.. I am coming back for that dang button tomorrow..i am too tired to code right now..

Trisha Says:
November 11th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

May I PLEASEEEEEEE steal that badge for my own blog page???? I promise to love, honor and obey! Okay, that’s a lie about the obeying part but I do swear to only blog when I have something to say. (course I talk shit all the time so it may not seem that way!)

Came over from Irregularly Periodic Ruminations and so glad I did because, not only did I pick up an awesome new word (fuckknuckle), I found support for my lack of daily posting this month. Definitely taking your graphic and posting it proudly. Thanks!
