Hello muffins. Quick update. I’ve been nominated as a Kidspot and Ford Top 50 Blogger for 2012. Mental right? Two weeks ago I was flown to Sydney for the fancy launch party where the mummy bloggers nearly killed me with cocktails and champagne. It was rad.
In order for me to win a trip to New York for the BlogHer conference in August, I have to publish a post outlining my blogging journey and talking about all the things that set me apart from other bloggers. Awk-WARD! I decided to go all vlog on this project. Enjoy, but be warned. This video contains a jelly snake and some serious tongue action.
Thanks for watching my video and don’t forget to vote for me here. My travel commentary has proven to be quite popular in the past and I promise to deliver even more weird American tidbits if I win. There’s also copious amounts of Diet Snapple and Tasti-D-Lite to be consumed.
You can also comment on my mad tonguing skills on twitter and facebook if you like.

This is seriously cool. SERIOUSLY!
Just watching this I still can’t believe that I met you. I’ve been in awe of you and I have read your blog for so long.
It’s just hit me how surreal it is/was. x

Oh my goodness I’m having a serious blush fest over here! I feel the same when I met you!
We MUST have a proper catch up when we are next in each other’s citys.

I’m very slowly learning to edit vids myself. When I master it (or can affford to hire a full time editor!) I’ll make it a weekly thing. 🙂

Tying a jelly snake with your tongue? Awesome. How do you do that?

I was in a productive of Streetcar Named Desire when I was 16, with very thin stage walls and it was the only activity that the cast could do in absolute silence and darkness. We all became masters after the three week run. 🙂

It’s exhausting! It’s my secret weird party trick and I do it about once every two years and it’s starting to get really hard. I’m old!

Loved hearing this! I’ve been reading your blog for years – commenting occasionally. It is really inspiring to hear the stories and also to see that others share my talent for tying jelly snakes in knots with their tongues. I thought I was the only one!

It’s a very unique skill and one that takes way longer than any one thinks to master! 🙂
-
And only people who are super cool can do it, clearly. I personally learned to do it whilst procrastinating doing an assignment in year ten. Time well wasted, I think!

I can’t stop laughing at the self-satisfied “EHHY!” noise you make when you’re done with that jelly snake. You’re awesome.
