Original Drafts V: Caring & Sharing Week Special Edition

Today's Original Draft is a very special one created by the fabulous, lovely Gwen, because she cares about moi so much!!! And of course I love Gwen - and it's not just because she was the first blogger I ever won a prize from!




That's right monkeys, you just got Rickrolled!

Caring, sharing, and... insults?

It's Caring & Sharing Week here in Soda and Candy Land! Because I've been feeling the bloggy love, my posts this week will be tied somehow to the theme of caring and/or sharing*.

To kick things off, because I care about y'all, I'm going to share with you a blog I just discovered!

Are you sick of using the same old insults on your exasperating ex, flaky friends and cretinous co-workers? Then head over to Insults for some fresh ammo! You can submit your own favorite insults for inclusion as well - I've provided some true-blue Aussie insults here, here, here and here (although I take no responsibility for the emotional damage caused by the pictures Insults chose to accompany them!)


*Until I run out of caring/sharing material and/or tenuous links to same**.

**Also, just ignore the fact that the week started well before this post.

I heart macro photography


^ where the deck meets the first step


^ an ocean wave in wood



^ ginger-like plants that ruthlessly colonize our garden every summer


^ the lovely red flowers that bloom on the summer colonists


^ hummingbirds visit these trumpet-shaped flowers to my delight

Grrrrrr.


Why does it take ten premenstrual women to change a lightbulb?


It just does, all right?!

Widget or Blog: The Original Drafts Story

After figuring out which option took the least effort on my part a great deal of thoughtful consideration, I have decided to make Original Drafts a regular feature on this blog rather than setting up a whole other blog devoted to it.

I added a handy-dandy link on the sidebar over there, which will lead you to all posts with the Original Drafts tag, and which also contains a spam-proofed email address* to which song requests can be made.


The ball's in your court, readers! (hehe, I said balls)...

*yes, I know they can't get it from a jpeg, but it looks cooler that way.
