Give it to me cupcake...

So here is the newest installment of Truth Thursdays… lets dig in.

I love talking in a British accent around the house. Back home I’d use it all around town but ever since I started working with a few Brits I no longer feel comfortable in doing so.

I’ve gone to two sneak previews – Friends with Benefits & The Help and can I just say I feel more important each time I go. It’s like I’m at a press junket and people want to know what I think. Not to mention I get to see GREAT movies a month before they’re released. You have to admit, that’s pretty bad ass.

I fear my posts throughout the week are too long. Do you feel that I’ve been long-winded? Or am I just going nuts because my commenting rounds have been weak?

I love post-its. They’re my best friend inside and outside the office. The more colorful the happier I am. This week’s color – hot pink.

I’m a twitterholic. With all the happenings on twitter it’s so much faster to comment, say hello, have convos it’s hard not to fall victim to the awesomeness. Having surpassed 1,000 followers last week I’m still over the moon. I can’t believe that many find me interesting (okay so it’s probably only 5 of you and the others just wanted their numbers higher. But you 5 still rock).

So dish… you know you want that cupcake.

Does that mean I get a cupcake.

Each week I share meaningless facts about myself. I assume you care because regardless whether you comment or lurk I know you’re there (no I’m not psychic it’s called stats people – if I knew how to read them).

So here I am spilling my guts again and what’s my reward? Nothing. Unless you count your truths – which I like. I want something more (yes this is me being greedy).

So I’ve decided that for every truth you share you are being sent a virtual cupcake. I’ll be rewarding myself with a real cupcake (I don’t want to have to worry about shipping – sorry). This means I’ll have to spend an extra half hour during the week swimming laps – we’ll see if it’s worth it.

So enough wasting time, let’s earn us some cupcakes.

1. I love Oakleys. My husband did it. Sunglasses are a new addiction of mine. The funkier the better. I like to live life on the edge – show people I’m cool. Sunglasses does it – trust me, I’m the expert.

2. Answering phones results in puking. That’s right I have a phobia of talking on the phone – in front of co-workers = even more embarrassing issues. It’s that big of a phobia (unless it’s an agent, then I’ll be puking for an entirely different reason).

3. I love reading queries. I’ll Google queries and see if I can’t pull something creative out of my hat to incorporate in my own. It’s just neat to see all the different story ideas out there. If I did it for a living I’d probably not find it so fun (after all I’m only reading the ones that sold).

4. I love So You Think You Can Dance. I know I can’t dance (no thinking about it) but that doesn’t mean I don’t attempt while watching the show (by waving my hands in the air – any jumps and I’ll be in the hospital).

5. I love meeting new people. Not everyone is super friendly but I do my best to say hello (even though they think I’m the weird one. Which I probably am. At least I’m not rude).
So now it’s turn to earn your cupcakes… give it your best shot.
