I was looking at My Friend Amy’s blog yesterday and ran into a really interesting contest. Because it seems so fun, I decided to invite several bloggers to participate in this easy and cheesy event. Here are the details:
Do you take the Dare?
Here are the rules of this challenge:
1. Snag the snazzy I Dare You to Accept This Challenge Logo and create your dare using the following format:
_________ I dare you to accept this challenge. I dare you to complete at least 5 of the 10 items on the list below (though I triple dog dare you to tackle them all!)
(your list goes here)
This challenge must be completed in: (6 days?, 6 months?, 6 years? its up to you!)
If you fail in this challenge you must __________________
But if you succeed then I will ______________________
If you choose to accept this dare you must follow these rules:
- Blog about your acceptance and log in with Mr Linky on the correct Acceptance Post here.
- Blog about your thoughts after completing each item. When you’ve completed the challenge check in with Mr Linky on the correct Completed Challenge Post on the I Dare You to Accept This Challenge Blog!
- Once you accept (or complete) this challenge then make a list of 10 related items (ie all Bollywood movies, your favorite tv show or book series, favorite genre of books etc) and challenge one of your friends…even the one who challenged you!
- Need help deciding on a dare? Check out what others are doing here.
2. Once you’ve challenged your friend be sure to stop back here and let everyone know who you’ve challenged. Then sit back and see how they do!
———————————————————————————————————————–
I have chosen Care, Jill, Lisa, Trish, Heather and Joanne to be my victims, and
I hope they all accept! I have asked each of them to do the following by
January 1, 2010:
Oh, YOU’RE ON. Have I told you that I’ve never watched Sex & the City? Because I think it looks dumb? Don’t think I won’t find something EQUALLY PAINFUL.

Oooh I feel for you Trish. Someone would have to dare me to watch that too for me to do it. (NOT a hint!)

I’m so glad you gave me that challenge that you did – I’d have had to say no to sex & in the city! ~LOL~ I’m definitely in!

I feel bad for enjoying Sex and the City!!!!!

I love Sex and the City. Once I lost 6-8 seasons from my hard disk, all wiped out, I did not feel myself for days 🙂
I hope you enjoy it Trish. Its fun.

Well if My Friend Amy likes Sex & the City, maybe, just MAYBE, it won’t be too bad. She and I like a lot of the same thing. But Sex & the City just…looks…so…dumb. No amount of people talking about how funny it is has gotten me to watch it.
Still pondering my challenge for you, m’dear.

hi. how are ya. (yes, I left off the question mark.)
Did you review The Help? Can I make a request? Will you put a search box somewhere so I can get to your reviews quickly and not read through all the posts and get distracted by all the photos of all those scantily clad men?
Thanks, I would appreciate it.

Hey Chartroose! Hope all is well and you’re enjoying your blogging break. I just wanted to let you know that you’re missed.

Hey Chartroose,
Just adding my choice to the choir… I MISS YOU. I really do. You make me laugh and think and just…there’s nobody quite like you, so I really hope to see you blogging again someday.
By: Nymeth on November 1, 2009

As per the voices above: you’re missed.
Do let us know what you’re up to – even if it’s just “look, I’m perfectly fine, I just don’t really have the time to blog any more so bog off and leave me alone”.
Although probably something more polite would be preferable 🙂

By: Chris on November 1, 2009
at 11:03 pm
I hate to be all, Dude, come back! Because I’m sure you’re gone for a reason, and if that reason is that blogging isn’t what it used to be for you, well, I totally understand. But perhaps you could pop in once in a while on your blog and say Hi and what you’re doing?
Also, I finished my Horrible Dare. You suck. That show blows.

Hi Chartroose – Hope that all is still well with you since that quick email exchange we had. Just wanted you to know that I’ve been watching my Classic Battlestar Galactica episodes … and I LOVE it! It is so much fun! I should have my Dare Completed post up by next week, but don’t think I’m stopping at just 10 episodes. 🙂

I realize per the timeline, I’m a bit behind but I did watch my 1st Bergman this week and it was the Scenes from a marriage. oolala was Liv a hottie! It was interesting- all the extremely close face shots and the talk of sex but I was surprised how little nakedness I witnessed. overall – dead on for the 70’s. Still extremely relevant. 🙂

This is a great exercise for bloggers, for a change. Instead of always writing articles, or giving event to readers, you can also have some playing to do that still benefits with you as a blogger. mazatlan condo rentals
