How funny. I was going to start my blog post off with "this person may not blog every other day, but when she does, it's pure magic!". However, after carefully stalking her studying her blog in order to make this post, I realized that she *does* actually blog almost every other day (if not more) and that her stuff is so damned good that it just doesn't *seem* like it. The thing about this blogger is that she can turn an every day life sort of moment into a grand adventure and leave you wanting to be right there with her in her world of awesomeness.
I'm not sure why I waited this long to make this woman a Blogger of the Month. Maybe I did not want to seem like a supreme kiss ass before TequilaCon. Maybe it's just because I was letting the boys play rampant in the yard. But whatever it was, it's time to bring the "supercool chick solidarity" back, now with minty fresh flavor. So you may ask yourselves (or not...in fact, probably not), what makes someone Hilly's Blogger of the Month? Well, there are no prerequisites. It's either about content, design or a mixture of the two. But this time, it's about so much more....
That's right, cat and kittens....Viva Las Jenny! I know that's some atrocious grammar but whatever. Please join me in showing the love to Jenny of Run Jen Run! Now you may know her as half the infamous duo responsible for bring you TequilaCon year after year, but she's so much more than that. Before I go into it though, can we please all bow our heads in a moment of silence for the radical badical that is this woman's party planning skills? Holy crap, she makes the fun happen and somehow with her masterful trickery, she gets me to drink like a fish. Yep...all her fault. Shush. But really, there's a slight chance that when you meet a blogger, they'll not be half as fun as their blogs but that is definitely *not* the case here.
Anywayyyy, onto the prowess that is Run Jen Run. I mentioned earlier that Jenny has a flair when it comes to the mundane. Wait...not like I am saying her life is mundane, because it's anything but! Oh heck, you know what I mean! Somehow things that would just pass by me in black and white seem to flow from her in amazing Technicolor. She's like one of them newfangled TVs or something. In any case, there's always something new to read on Jenny's blog and kind of like mine, you really never know what you're gonna get. And yes, that's a very good thing.
My favorite posts from Run Jen Run include (but are not limited to):
Parenthood
Spite
What's Your AQ?
Best Little Whorehouse In Illinois
The "Sometimes Rabbit" Category
There are so many other great posts that I feel like I am cheating on every one of them by NOT listing them here...but yanno, I should work and stuff like that. If you have a favorite Jenny post, feel free to link it in the comments!
Congratulations to Jenny, who's not only Rockin' Like Dokken this month, but every damned month thereafter (erm, and previously)! The prize, while not exciting, is yours for the taking, missy! Please pass GO and collect your badge:
The rest of you...please go visit her, tell her Hilly sent ya, and give her some love!
Jackie-O Sunglasses Kisses,
Me
Jenny has what is quite possibly my most favorite entry on any blog ever...
Death of a PacMan: A Play in Five Acts.
But I could say that about most of the things she writes. :-)

Oooh, Davey-Joe....thanks for that link! I was so overwhelmed with awesomeness that I didn't see that entry!

Death of a PacMan was the first Run Jen Run post I ever read. And it was brilliant... Good choice!

I swear there is a conspiracy. Jenny was in my feed reader, now I notice that she is not. This has happened for several blogs I love to read. Effers.
I totally put my index finger up to the screen. "Ouch."

Jen has that "so cool it's almost intimidating" vibe about her.
Posted by: Miss Britt | Wednesday, June 04, 2008 at 12:30 PM
Yay Jenny! And yeah, it is about time! She's so awesome.
Posted by: Iron Fist | Wednesday, June 04, 2008 at 12:40 PM
She's damn deserving. A real party to be around. Plus that hair that defies logic. It's pure magic.

HILLY! No way! I won Blogger of the Month? You are so awesomely sweet, or sweetly awesome, or just swawesome. Awesweet? Thanks so much! And I take full responsibility for making you drink like a fish at TequilaCon... but how do you explain all those other times? ;)
Thanks, babe!
Posted by: jenny | Wednesday, June 04, 2008 at 04:18 PM
Yeah, blame Jenny for your drinking habits. How do you explain the other 363 days of the year, though?
Posted by: Karl | Wednesday, June 04, 2008 at 05:29 PM
Her mom is really cool too. I met her at TQ.
Wait, I forgot. Turns out she was the mother to a different Jen. The Jen who was the bride in the wedding party I accidentally crashed.
I'm sure Jen's mom is really nice though. Like daughter like mom.

Suze: Right? She's the hotness!
Poppy: The evil people in the world plot to make us forget the cool people. Je ne like that pas. (totally stealing from your awesome twat).
Britt: Whenever she starts to intimidate me, I just swig another jigger of booze and all is well ;).
Vahid: The heck, you say! You think Jenny is awesome? Nuh uhhhh ;).
Mocha: Hey you! I covet her hair. In fact, I weep a little each night because it isn't mine.
JENNY!: You are so welcome and you deserve it because YOU are the bees knees! And I think you have a hold over me. Yep, that would explain those other times.
K-Fed: As I told you earlier, I've not had a drink in five days. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for another nice detoxifying barf session.
Delmer: Ha, how did I *not* hear about that story?

Congrats to Jenny for coming out on top this month. Nice. And of course being the organizer of TequilaCon (hint: Vegas '09)

Never, in the history of Blogger Awards, has an award been more richly deserved! Should have known you'd be the one to figure it out and make it happen, because you're awesome like that, Hilly!
Damn geography for making bloggers live so far apart that TequilaCon happens only once a year.

"She's like one of them newfangled TVs or something."
If that's not a glowing recommendation, I don't know what is!
:D

Congrats to Jenny, whom I now have to add to my feed reader thanks to all these glowing recommendations.

Congrats to Jenny and I've got to go over and read her now... excuse me... ;)
