Shall I compare thee to a Sesame Street character...

Hello, you gorgeous, gorgeous people you!

Today is a momentous day, my friends.  Today, I post my 100th entry!  Who knew, back in May when I decided to start blogging again that I'd actually have the self control and determination to keep going, let alone to reach 100 entries!  Go me!

So, to thank you all for keeping me company while I ramble about whatever happens to cross my easily distracted mind I've decided that a givaway is in order.  I'd like to introduce you all to William Blogspeare, and one of you lucky, lucky little people are going to get to call him your own!

Like all literary minded people, I'm a sucker for writing related giftwares, and when I saw this guy I just couldn't resist. I mean seriously, who WOULDN'T want a William Shakespeare doll that looks like a Sesame Street character!  He could be a muse, a mascot, or just a provider of sympathetic hugs for those days when the writer's block is extra nasty.

They make these Little Thinker dolls in the shape of all sorts of famous writers, poets, philosophers and speakers.  You can get Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolfe, Sigmund Freud, Emily Dickinson, and heaps more.  I got Will from here.

The giveaway is open to everyone regardless of where you live, and I'll contact the lucky winner to get their postal address once they've been selected.  So if you'd like the chance to give old Will a home, just leave a comment and I'll randomly draw someone from the hat of fate!  All comments up to 10am on Friday 14th AEST will be included (that's 8pm Thursday 13th in New York, I believe).

And thank you, guys.  Without you all I'd just be a crazy woman talking to herself ... not that I'm NOT a crazy woman, of course, I just get to share my insanity with all of you.

  8. Free stuff! Woohoo!
    100 posts since May? I'm trying to think of something I've done 100 times since May.
    Things that don't count-
    1. Blinking (Knew creepy guy who probably still hasn't reached 100.
    2. Eating (Hit 100 within the week, hence all the bootcamping)
    3. Mentioning any other physical actions as thats. just. nasty.
    Will have to think on this one as kind of sickish what with eating my 100ish cupcake in the past few months. Hmm...what have I done 100x's?

  12. Hey Kellie! What a pleasure it has been to read your blog this morning. I've had quite a few good chuckles (particularly whilst reading the 19th century medical post). Congrats on your 100th post - it seems fitting that I should discover you on your blogiversary. Thanks for stopping by my little blog and saying hi. :)

  13. Wow, the first time I visit your blog and I discover that there's a chance of a price. Serendipity or what.

    Why, true; he means to make a puppet of thee.

  14. Wow, has it only been since May? How time flies.
    Congratulations on your 100th post and here's to many more. :D

  15. It's been 100? Well done. Ol' Billy Shakes (as nobody calls him) would probably become a new feature if I had the privilege of earning him through weeks of dedicated service, commenting and being entertained by you for free. I've earned it! And you've earned congratulations.

  19. Hello Kellie:
    How absolutely splendid all of this is and great fun too. And such a very imaginative and original giveaway - one's very own Shakespeare!!

    Much as we should love to be entered in the draw, please do not include us as the Hungarian postal system would, in the lucky event of our winning, fail, as is so often the case, to deliver!

  20. I do not wish to enter in your competition, I have a small apartment and no space :(

    But I do want to wish you a congratulations on reaching 100 posts. It is an amazing effort. It took ma a couple of years to reach 50, so I amazed at people who post every few days and still be entertaining

    Looking froward to the next 100 or so

  24. Do you get Mr. Rogers Neighborhood over there? This guy looks like he belongs with the rest of those pedophiling puppets. I don't think pedophiling is a word, per se, but you get the message. Also, if we're allowed to vote for who gets the puppet? I'm voting Pickleope. He'd make it into an entire, maniacally convoluted post about...rape-y dolphins? Dunno. You'd have to ask him.

  25. 100 posts is quite the achievement, especially in such a short timeframe...good job, and thanks for all the giggles!

  26. He's a real cutie, and yes he should be handing out sage, eternal words to inspire the english language while walking hand-in-hand with Elmo.

  27. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I in finding this
    matter to be really something which I feel I'd never understand. It sort of feels too complex and very broad for me. I'm having a look ahead
    in your subsequent put up, I will attempt to get the hang
    of it!
