W.O.W I have no words. I remember when I had first started this blog just about 3 months ago and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I even a brief period of time when the fat elf got to me and I just wanted to forfeit the entire idea of continuing on with my nonsense and lust with envy and perhaps a bit of jealousy – but of course much applause for those who got the recognition they truly deserve. But the cliche award speech stops here. I didn’t win anything, at least I don’t think this is what it’s for… If you happen to read Nick’s post ( http://shittalkinnick.com/ ) on passing this award on to fellow bloggers, I think he really hit the shit talkin jack pot to include me for nominations.. but I am still immeasurably grateful and humbled to be nominated by him, so if you get this read this NIck, and if you haven’t already read my comment on your page, a thousand thankyous and curtsies (:
And to formally begin my trip of seven minutes in heaven :
post 11 random things about myself;
answer 11 questions from the person who nominated me;
pose 11 new questions to other bloggers (and let them know I’ve done so);
11 Random Things About Me
1) I love tattoos and piercings.. much as I obsess with my cat’s paws and abuse him (with love) to infinity, in which cases I don’t even think are probably legal in most states..
2) Just so I can fulfill the rebel image to a slack, I got my conch pierced yesterday – proceeding to add the newest addition to my tongue and rook to hide from my mom – wishing to break the ignorant stereotype. But no I don’t drink or smoke pot. Ever. Sorry guys.
3) Though I say what I said above, I’m also a huge book worm with OCD regarding my books; so no 90 degree angles or dog ears or I will play SAW 1-7 with you.
4) Gigantic wuss to the next level – still working on not being scared of the witchy part in Sleeping Beauty.. but I tell myself I am just very thoroughly empathizing with the music in the background. Did I mention I’m a band geek? Guess what instrument I play.
5) Yes, I love the classic old Disney. And if I could I would turn all my pals gay on my marathons – working on that too.
6) I still pride myself for being stronger and faster than all the now-football guys back in elementary, because nowadays my most recent achievement is devouring the amount of chocolate I do on a day-to-day basis and getting whipped on my 7th push up.
7) I have a very wicked sense of humor and if you were to see me, then get to really know me, you would not believe half the things that I say.
8) Absolute laziest person you’ll ever meet. The most I do with an exercise ball is bounce on it, then proceed to fly like superman. Bless the faeries for my metabolism.
9) Love cute things and chocolate. But I hate cute drawings. Art to me is Tim Burton style. With a few exceptions.
10) I’m Asian and math is my worse subject. Not just 92% bad; Get made fun of on a day-to-day basis.
11) I once thought Amazon people were tall blue people. Maybe 5 times was too many a time to watch Avatar.
Answer 11 Questions
1) What was the last thing that made you cry? Oh this is depressing; arguing with my mother about tattoos, then she told me to get one when I grow up and not see her if I chose to do so.
2) If you had a super power, would you share it with anyone? Definitely; share it with my few favorite people and live like kings.
3) If you could talk to anyone alive or dead, famous or not famous who would it be? I want to say my father out of respect, but as the wuss I am, I don’t really wanna see anyone I know that should be dead and I’m sure my father would love it if his last image of me was not me whacking his ghostly figure in the face.
4) Would you rather go back in time or travel to the future? I’d rather go back and enjoy some simple children things; the future seems a bit depressing.
5) If the person you loved was dying and the only way you could save them was to press a button that would kill thousands of people you have never met before, would you do it? No, because if I were to love anyone, that person would know better than to fear death in exchange for thousands of innocent lives. Unless this was a thriller, then maybe just so coincidentally, all the bad guys.
6) Would you rather 10 minutes of love or 10 minutes of lust? 10 minutes of lust ; love can last longer than that. A moment will always just be a moment thing.
7) How many fingers am I holding up right now? Three. what’s a loss of three for an incredible driver, which in his name I’d suppose would also possess impeccably dexterous fingers.
8) If you could change the topic of your blog what would you change it to? It has no ultimate purpose, but if you were to put a label on it, probably something lame like my diary which I abandoned 3 years ago.
9) Whats the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Their aura. Does that make sense? You just know when you meet one of ‘those guys’.. and immediately walk the other way.
10) Dogs or Cats? Cats, since this is my first one, and you never knew how fun it is to cuddle something so flexible. And it drools the same amount.
11) Whats the last thing you regretted doing? I regret having ever mentally noted that I shall stop looking/following more blogs because I want to read practically every single one of your’s and won’t do justice otherwise. But that’s stupid; in thanks to all the people who gave me a chance.
Ask 11 Questions Of Your Own
1) Who’s your favorite Disney character and why?
2) Forgive and forget or get even? If you’re going to be nice tell me how you got there.. if you’re evil like me, give me ideas.
3) Biggest laughing spree – constipated face and epileptic appendages.
4) If you had to save someone significant, would you give up your life? And not be a bitter haunting ghost about it.
5) Crazy 1940’s dancer or a shower singer?
6) If you had a choice, would you choose to be the opposite gender? Why and what would you do if yes.
7) Vacuum, sweep or mop?
8) First kiss – disappointment, butterflies, or fainted cause you didn’t wanna breath on them.
9) Biggest motivation/inspiration/aspiration in life.
10) Ever insecure about yourself; how did you get over it, or still currently working on it?
11) Laughter is the best medicine?
Spreading The Love – in no particular order cause love does not know a number or a face

And with this I believe I am finished my over stayed welcome in heaven.
December 29, 2012 at 3:27 PM
Thanks for the nod, Chick!
That’s a pretty impressive lineup there. I feel privileged to be a part of this all-star list. Single Girl is my favorite raunchy delight. When I marry her, she’ll have to change her page name to, “Incredibly Satisfied Married Woman Blogging”.
A man can dream, right?
And by the way, that’s an awfully thoughtful thing to say about me. My “fucks” and “bastards” will never trump my undying love for people like you.
Rock on! \M/
December 29, 2012 at 3:57 PM
No problem! Dare I say “duck”?
I’m glad you feel I’ve done you justice (: I believe I was able to discover each one of you somehow through one another, so it feels amazing that I can give something back. Also, you and Single Girl would make the most perfect guideline for “This is Marriage 101”, so please do keep dreaming.
And I’m incredibly happy that you are pleased with my brief introduction of you; Softie moments are always precious coming from ‘bad guys’. “Fucks” and “bastards” got nothing on you.
Cheers !
December 29, 2012 at 5:22 PM
Duck,
You inspired an incredible idea in me just now. I’ll make sure I link back when it surfaces. Look out!
December 29, 2012 at 6:02 PM
Oh , I’m intrigued. I’ll keep my glasses on – spying with my 4 little eyes. Can’t Wait !
December 29, 2012 at 6:21 PM
Thank you, dear! And thank you, Adam. Not sure if that title will fit in the header… 😉
Okay, I’ll play.
1. Dumbo. Since I was a kid. I like elephants.
2. Depends how mad I am.
3. Shit, it’s been a while. I don’t know.
4. Depends on who it is and how painful my death would be.
5. 40s dancer. I’m already a shower singer.
6. Oh, shit yes. Pee standing up. Masturbate with a fleshlight. Revel in not wearing makeup and heels.
7. No.
8. Butterflies
9. Compassion toward others.
10. Yes, I am human. Working on it.
11. Yes, except for herpes.
December 29, 2012 at 7:11 PM
Omgosh I remember I used to be scared of Dumbo..and cried for him too. Then I grew up and realized I didn’t understand a single word Disney said – on another note, have you watched “water with elephants?”
And haha, don’t worry, the guys are getting better at saying ‘you always look beautiful’ without gagging when we have no make up on (:
You are very welcome! Hope you find a lucky guy that contracts you epic laughing fits with his 40’s dancing everyday.
December 30, 2012 at 8:54 AM
Some good recommendations: a few I knew already and perhaps one I fear (oh that Clown, that clown), and some fresh new sites to check out. Thanks for that… But what fun waiting to see what you and Adam will pull together. And while Incredibly Satisfied Married Woman Blogging is hilarious, and it would be fun to see Single Girl and Adam find, um, whatever they find, it’s all the wild and funny high jinx that gave me an appreciated smile and smirk this morning. Nice work!
December 30, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Haha yes, I’d think quite a few of them are already multi-nominated-award-winning bloggers and I’m joining in on their circus tour of admiring fans.
I also can’t wait to see what I have ‘inspired’ in Adam..I think I should give claims to my cousin who had wanted to defy the sexism by starting the trend to call guys ‘ducks’..that was 4 years ago.. and all the worlds chick remains alone in their animal calling.
Glad you like the post!
December 30, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Ah, Ducks! Very clever… like it. Slow on the uptake this morning. Thanks for clarifying. I follow Adam; he follows me, we all follow each other… like ducks in a row. 😉
December 30, 2012 at 10:30 AM
LOL! That was precious. Maybe it was eating chocolate for 3/4 of my meals for the past week but I absolutely cracked up. Thank you for making my morning. (‘:
December 30, 2012 at 10:40 AM
And now that I’ve read a few other posts: I’m really confused. The Laughing Duck vs WalkTenPaces vs The Butterfly Hatch… who are you? I’m totally turned around.
December 30, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Oh god. I just put two and two together. Did not even realized the connection with my name about our duck talk. Looks like I’m having the slow morning.
Haha, honestly, I have no idea. Totally ambivalent. Spent last night watching GIrl, Interrupted. I think I met my destiny.
Stick around and maybe we’ll both find out !
December 31, 2012 at 3:53 AM
Thank you so much for the nom and your kind words! I’m flattered to be in such good company, too. 🙂
December 31, 2012 at 9:51 AM
You’re very welcome ! Happy to spread the joy ; glad you liked the post ! ((:

The Laughing Duck,
I made it! I’m here! Woohoo! I want someone to write a song about it. The song must be performed by… The Flaming Lips… Or Christina Hendricks. I’m not picky. The latter, because I say so…
Thank you for the award! I appreciate the sentiment, I really do. Le Clown doesn’t do awards, cause he’s douchy like this… But. He would like to give you an award in exchange… I hereby bestow upon you the soon to be retired Alan Smithee Blog award! It’s all yours, for free!

January 3, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Hm, I’d had thought Flaming Lips would go well with A Clown on Fire. It has a certain ring to it ye know? For all the fellow circus fre-carnies..
Thank you for the award in exchange ! Honored that Le Clown himself would personally bestow it..before any certain douche changes his mind.. and it’s for free! Oh my asian side is kicking in.
Quackers.
January 3, 2013 at 11:39 AM
TLD,
You’re kind, and funny, and I thank you for dropping by regularly on ACOF. It’s appreciated.

Hi there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re utilizing?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I
must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Kudos, I appreciate it!
July 19, 2014 at 4:18 AM
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Use precautions and make your web surfing a safe and
enjoyable experience. The features provided are good enough but
not as efficient as manual one. Since Facebook also tells hackers
where all of those people live, even their birthdays,
etc. Now when I log out and then go back to enable mode – or try to – I should be prompted for the password “dolphins”.
If you no longer use an account, consider deleting or disabling it.
